The Voice of Mukesh #19
- – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - -
‘Do Dil’ from 1947, turned out to be quite a bonanza for Mukesh. Thus far, the film 1945 ‘Pehli Nazar’ had been good, with four songs by him. In this film, Pt. Gobindram got Mukesh to sing as many as six songs. Three of these are solo, and three are duets – two with Suraiyyaa and one with Rajkumari. Two solos and two duets are already represented on this blog. With this post, I bring to this blog, the third remaining solo song by Mukesh, for your listening pleasure.

I like to do things methodically. Whenever I have to write an article on a song, I first go through all the comments on the already posted songs of that film, if any, so that I do not repeat what has already been said. Further, if needed, I can quote from those comments. If it is a singer, actor or a film, I try to go through the available material-on the Blog or Net etc, to make my write up exclusive and I also ensure that whatever statements I make in my articles are defendable with evidence-if and whenever challenged. All this can add to the quality and credibility of the material provided and avoids repetition so that the article may not end up as an ” Also Ran “.

“Priyatma” (1977) was one of the lesser known movies of its time as far as I was concerned. IT turns our that it was a typical light hearted romantic comedy movie that were the hallmark of Basu Chatterji those days. This movie was a Modern Pictures Production. T C DEwan was the producer and it was directed by Basu Chatterji. The movie had Jeetendra, Neetu Singh, Rakesh Roshan, Asha Sachdev, Utpal Dutt, Reeta Haksar, I.S.Johar, Ritu Kamal, Murad, Sunder, Latika, Roshni, Ajay Kumar, Asrani, Deven Verma, Asit Sen, Jaya Prabha etc in it.

Jamuna ke teer Kanha aa

In the sphere of Geeta Dutt’s non-filmy songs (NFS), I was aware of only one of her songs hauley hauley hawaayen doley during my younger days, thanks to the radio. Much later, I had bought 78 RPM record of this NFS sometime in early 70s. If I remember correctly, this record had ‘jamuna ke teer kaanhaa aao’ on the other side. So I became aware of one more NFS of her. Probably those days of early 50s, the singers will have to sing at least two NFS songs to bring out one 78 RPM record. With the advent of internet, we have access to some more of her NFS based on which I have a feeling that compared with other playback singers of her time like Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhonsle, Mohammed Rafi, Talat Mehmood, Mukesh, Manna Dey etc, she has cut comparatively very few Hindi NFS discs. I found that none of her NFS other than the two I referred to above, were known to me though they are beautifully rendered by her. I have recently heard ‘ye hawaa ye fizaa ye bahaaren’ composed by V Balsara and I liked it very much.
