This geet shaped Geeta’s career

Music director S D Burman, unwilling to yield to producers’ objections to his young, untrained mentee rendering the songs of Do Bhai (1947), put his reputation at stake, and went on to give the then-teenager a break.

The singer in question was Geeta Dutt (nee Roy), and the most popular song from the film was Mera Sundar Sapna Beet Gaya.

By the way, she happened to the voice of its soundtrack, because she rendered five other songs in the film, including three solos.

The film also marked the debut of lyricist Raja Mehdi Ali Khan.
