Right from 1947 to 1972, Geeta dutt sung for 1991 films (Hindi), leave apart her mother tongue, which was Bengali, I have not muchknowledge ofher Bengali song. I am trying to pick best 20 songs from her, including some duets.
Ghoonghat ke pat khol re tohe piya milenge. Film: Jogan (1950). This film was based on Meera bai and this bhajan is one of the best Meera bhajan, which was resung (I wont use copy) by many other singer.
Aye dil mujhe bata de, tu kis pe aa gaya hai. Film: Bhai bhai (1956). Picturised on Shyama, lovely song depicting feel of love for someone.
Nanhi kali sone chali, hawadheere aana. Film: Sujata (1959). A heart touching lory, all mothers of yesteryear must have sung this song for their ladla and ladlee.
Jaane kya tune kahi. jaane kya maine kahi. Film: Pyasa (1957). Wow, one of her best in the sense of naughtyness and aisa lag raha tha ki Waheeda Rehman khud ga rahi ho.
Mera naam Chin chin choo. Film: Howrah Bridge (1958). Before Asha Bhosle started giving voice to Helen's cabre, this was one of the most hit club nos. And I will not believe that someone has not heard this song.
Jata kahan hai deewane, sab kuchh yahan hai sanam. Film: CID (1956). Agar is tarah koi mehbooba apne aashiq ko bulaye to kya koi aaye bina rah sakta hai.
Kaisa jadoo balam tune dara, kho gaya nanha sa dil humara. Film: 12'O clock. You can't comment without listening to this song.
Merasundar sapna beet gaya. Film: Do bhai (1947). Shayad hi kisi toote dil ne ye gana nahi gaya hoga. Sun ke aisa lagta hai jaise jaam hoth se lagane ke pehle haath se gir kar toot gaya.

Na jao sainyan chhuda ke bainya. Film: Sahib Bibi aur Gulam (1962). Very few other song cangive you this intoxicating feeling. Meena Kumari's acting would not have completed without voice of Geeta Dutt in this song.
Piya aiso jiya mein samai gayo re. Film: Sahib Bibi aur Gulam (1962). Koi apne piya ke aane ki khusi mein is se achchha aur kya ga sakti hai.
Tadbeer se bigdi huyee taqdeer bana le. Film: Bazi (1950). Ek haare huye juari ko chulbuli Geetabali ka hausla badhana Geeta dutt ki aawaz mein.
Waqt ne kiya kya haseen sitam. Film: Kagaz ke phool (1959). This film was flop on its first release. Logon ke samjh mein hi nahi aaya, but this song left a deep effect on every song lovers.
Ye lo main haari piya, huyee teri jeet re. Film: Aar Paar (1954). A song of surrender, when true love happens.
Koi door se aawaz de chale aao. Film: Sahib Bibi aur Gulam (1962). Ek bhatakti huyee aatma ki aawaz, is virha ko sunn kar aapke agar rongte na khade ho jaye to kehna. Real haunting no.
