Geeta is from the Sanskrit gītā (song) — also the Bhagavad Gītā. A modern American baby name in the broader Sanskrit heritage aesthetic. Geeta Dutt (1930-1972) was an Indian Bengali playback singer — one of the foundational voices of Indian cinema's golden age (1940s-1960s) alongside Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhosle. Iconic songs include Babuji Dheere Chalna (Aar Paar, 1954), Hawa Mein Udta Jaye (Barsaat, 1949), and Waqt Ne Kiya Kya Haseen Sitam (Kaagaz Ke Phool, 1959). Foundational collaborations with composer S. D. Burman. Married filmmaker Guru Dutt (1953-1964, until his death). Sang over 1,400 songs across Hindi, Bengali, Gujarati, and Marathi.
Featured throughout Indian cinema.
