Geeta Dutta
Geeta Dutt – The Legendary Singer
The first thing come to my mind while thinking about Geeta Dutta is the Bengali Song “Nishi Raat Banka Chand Akashe“. She was the ONLY singer who was known to be feared by Lata Mangeshkar. Her contribution to Bengali Modern and Film songs is trendous – “Bansi Bujhi Sei Sure aar gaibe Na”, “Timi Bina E Phagun” – long list of unforgattable bengali songs are there. Lets read a little about the talented singer while listening to her songs in our Online Calcutta radio.

Geeta Dutt with Guru Dutt
Geeta Dutta used to be Geeta Roy Chowdhury
Unfortunate time came after the failure of Gauri in 1957 where Geeta Dutta as the singing star. Their relationshio got worse when Guru Dutta started an affair with Waheeda Rahman. Guru Dutta launched Waheeda Rahman in the hit film C.I.D (1956) opposite to Dev Anand. Geeta Dutta started drinking which affected her singing career. In 1958 onward, SD Barman, O.P Nayyar started using Asha Bhosle as the playback singer as Geeta Dutta was not practicing her songs well and Asha had tremendous talents. Guru Dutta dies in 1964 due to an overdose of sleeping pills and alcohol. The death of Guru Dutt was a great shock to Geeta Dutt. She then ran into financial trouble.
