Jait Kalyan is a very rare rag.  But more significant than its rarity is the fact that it is extremely close to Rag Bhupali.  To expect film-wallas to maintain a separation between these two rags is unthinkable.  If you would like to check out film songs that have a Jait Kalyanish colour, check out “Film Songs in Bhupali”.  This is about as close as you will be able to come.
