Geeta Roy found herself extremely busy in 1952. She had assignment after assignment that kept her singing career in a high gear. She delivered hit after hit that year. Amidst all this, she found time to continue her romantic relationship with Guru Dutt. She even sang three songs for a movie he directed, “Jaal”. This was his second attempt at directing. But the resistance from her parents who opposed her marriage to Guru Dutt persisted. They had a Bengali gentleman in their mind for Geetaji.

During 1952, Geetaji sang hundreds of songs in at least 31 different movies. She sang for new as well as established music directors giving almost everyone a hit or two. This pattern she continued through late fifties.

Clearly early fifties were her best years as a playback singer supreme. During these years, she still maintained the status as an influential vocalist of Hindi film world because she kept singing song after song delighting millions of moviegoers throughout India.

Here is a brief recount of Geetaji’s 1952 singing activity.

She sang two solos in “Shiv Shakti” for Avinash Vyas. Basant Prakash had Geetaji sing in two of his movie; “Badnam” (a solo) and “Nishan Danka” (a duet). Bhol Shreshtha recorded a solo of Geetaji for “Nazariya”.

Bulo C. Rani, who had Geetaji sing 12 songs in two movies in earlier years, had her sing for “Baghdad” (two solos and a duet). She sang in three movies for which C. Ramchandra composed music; “Ghungroo” (a duet), “Rangeeli” (a solo), and “Saqi” (a duet).
