Aayega Aanewala
Movie: Mahal
Singer: Lata Mangeshkar
Music:Khemchand Prakash
Khemchand Prakash - the man who gave Lata Mangeshkar and Kishore Kumar their first big hit and thereby launched their careers! Sad that he's all but forgotten! 
Here's one of my favorite songs by him:
Armaan bhare dil ki lagan
Film: Jaan Pehchaan (1950)
Lyrics: Shakeel Badayuni
Singers: Talat Mehmood & Geeta Dutt
Another by Lata Mangeshkar from Ziddi (1948), Lyrics: Prem Dhawan.
Kishore Kumar parodies this one in Ek Chatur Naar from Padosan.
Chanda re ja re ja re ...such a sweet, sweet melody! 
Ghabrake jo ham sar ko
Film: Mahal (1949)
Singer: Rajkumari
Lyrics: Nakshab
Music: Khemchand Prakash
Actor: Vijayalaxmi
One of the best actresses of India, She was so talented & beautiful. Loved her performances in all the films, but Bazaar, Mirch-Masala, Waaris, Arth & Manthan were outstanding. vo bahut kam umar me duniya se chali gayi, varna aur bhi kayi shaandar performances dekhne ko milti.

Smita Patil! Amazing actress and I have loved so many of her movies but I feel she's kind of overlooked in Arth since it's supposed to be Shabana Azmi's story. The way she portrays the other woman - in a layered, nuanced way, her jealousy, her insecurity and that slow, downward spiral? It made me hate Inder so much for doing that to two women - Pooja and Kavita. She was spellbinding in that role. There was always a quiet intensity about her - even when she was doing dramatic scenes. Her eyes - they conveyed everything. In that respect, I find her akin to Dilip Kumar. They didn't need over the top gestures or body movements to convey their feelings, they did it with subtle shifts and just their eyes. Such expressive eyes she had! Though Shakti was touted as a face-off between Amitabh and DK, it's Smita's scenes with DK that stand out for me!
Even in a totally commercial outing like Namak Halaal, she managed to downplay her mannerisms and gave Poonam a quiet dignity that balanced out Arjun Singh (Amitabh's) OTT-ness. I miss her and yes, if she were around we'd have been blessed with so much more from her!
Mujhe pata nahi tha ki Smita was an admirer of Nutan - but it doesn't surprise me. Their brand of acting is very similar. Nutan also conveyed emotions very subtly.
I don't have many favorite Smita Patil songs: she wasn't known for songs, more for acting but here are a couple:
This Marathi song is a childhood favorite
