Aayaga Aanewaala from Mahal


Both classics ! Not many were picturised on male actors although there are two that I can remember offhand 'Sau baar janam lenge from Ustadon ke ustad and Akela hoon mein humsafar dhoondtha hoon from Jaal....both in Rafi's voice and very hauntingly melodious !
I remember a very old song- Tumhe zindagi ke ujale mubarak andhere hamen aaj raas aa gaye hain.- Another song pictured on Dilip Kumar is- Guzare hain ham us mukam se nafarat si ho gayi hai mohabbat ke nam se. Still another from the movie 'aadami', again on Dilip Kumar- Na aadami ka koi bharosa na zindagi ka koi thikana dawea ke badle zahar dedo.'

Not from Mr X in Bombay but from the film 'Ustadon ke Ustad ' and it is picturised on actress Shakeela and Pradeep Kumar...
From old haunted Hindi movies, my favourite is Gumnam, though it is not a haunted one, one of my favorite haunted movie is "Kohraa". In this re-imagining of Du Maurier's Rebecca, a recently wed woman discovers the ghost of her husband's first wife still haunts their home. Starring Biswajeet, Waheeda Rehman, Lalita Pawar This movie is based on famous English novel "Rebecca" .


The song "Jhoom Jhoom Dhalti Raat" of "Kohra" is my favourite among Bollywood haunted classics melodies.

Kohra was a beautiful film with great songs composed by Hemant Kumar, I too like Jhoom jhoom dhalti raat...been well picturised as well, quite spooky when you watch Waheeda Rehman following the song..
I add "Aajare Pardesi Main To Kab se khadi Is Paar " from Madhumati.

Gumnaam was an excellent film loosely based on Agatha Christies And then there were none....
A few more songs that come to my mind..
Aaja re ,,,tujh bin piya udhas re - Poonam ki raat
Kho chuki hai sanam teri talash mein - teri talash mein
Tujhko pukare mera pyar - Neel Kamal
I add "Aajare Pardesi Main To Kab se khadi Is Paar " from Madhumati.

I had forgotten this song , it is very beautiful although the movie Kohra did not completely match up to the standards achieved by Rebecca, it was still a good movie!

Tujhko pukare mera pyar and gumnam hain koyi are few of my all time favourite haunting songs. Another song with haunting theme which I enjoy listening is Bepanah pyar hain aaja from Krishna cottage. I however don't like that movie at all.

Was that the movie made in recent times, I recollect seeing that movie but don't remember the song!

Its not very recent. I think it was made some 10 years ago. Its hero was Sohail Khan but I don't remember the heroine's name

Thanks for the link, yes the heroine was Isha Koppikar, the movie was really horrible but the song is great!
Probably after the seventies this trend died down ... There was a film called Lekin dealing with a spirit made in the eighties by Gulzar and this had a nice haunting song Yaara sili sili.. picturised on Dimple Kapadia.
Another beautiful song sung by both Rafi and Lata is Akele hai chale aao kahan ho from the film Raaz , one of Rajesh Khannas first films...
I remember a very old song- Tumhe zindagi ke ujale mubarak andhere hamen aaj raas aa gaye hain.- Another song pictured on Dilip Kumar is- Guzare hain ham us mukam se nafarat si ho gayi hai mohabbat ke nam se. Still another from the movie 'aadami', again on Dilip Kumar- Na aadami ka koi bharosa na zindagi ka koi thikana dawea ke badle zahar dedo.'


Are they all haunting songs ? There is a song in Aadmi 'Aaj purani rahon mein... which has a haunting quality to it...


This song is not haunting songs. All songs which are listed here sung by soul but this song was sung by a live person.
