"Howrah Bridge" is a 1958 film directed by Shakti Samanta. Its name is a reference to Howrah Bridge, which connects Howrah to Kolkata over the Hooghly River. Starring Madhubala, Ashok Kumar, Om Prakash and Madan Puri. It features the well known Hindi song "Mera Naam Chin Chin Chu" which was reused in the film Salaam Bombay!. This song was sung by Geeta Dutt and picturised on Helen. The Music Director is O. P. Nayyar.... Geetā Dutt ( born Geetā Ghosh Roy Chowdhuri) [November 23, 1930 -- July 20, 1972] was a prominent Indian playback singer in Hindi movies in the 1950s and 60s, and also a singer of modern Bengāli songs.... Geeta Dutt was born in 1930 into a rich zamindār's family as Geeta Ghosh Roy Chowdhuri in Faridpur, (then in Bengal, India; now in Banglādesh). In 1942, her parents shifted to an apartment in Dādar, Bombay (now Mumbai) when she was twelve. There, composer/music director Hanumān Prasād once overheard her singing casually, and, feeling impressed, he offered to impart her training in singing. He launched her in a chorus song in Bhakta Prahlād (1946), where she sang only two lines. But her rendering of those two lines stood out. The following year, she got a major assignment as a playback singer for Do Bhāi, and her renderings in that movie brought Geeta to the forefront as a top playback singer.... ...Geeta died of cirrhosis of the liver on July 20, 1972....
