In the long string of ‘Ustad’ films, here is one that is a new entrant for this blog. ‘Birju Ustad’ is a 1964 film from the banner of Movie Miracles, Bombay, directed by Manu Desai. The cast of actors is almost the standard fare – Sheikh Mukhtar and Chandrashekhar are in this movie. The rest of the star cast includes Vijaya Choudhary, Mukri, Uma Dutt, Tuntun, Minoo Mumtaz, Ridkoo, Jyoti Desai, Nazir Kashmiri, Kamal Mohan, Fazal, Karim, Haroon, Ajit, Shamina, E Tarapore, Frooque, Prem Sagar, TN Charlie, Jerry Mason, Appa Khaire, Jeet Waala, Sunanda, Rafia Sultana.
As is now expected, B grade films will have grade A music. The songs of this film are the team work of Qamar Jalaalabaadi and Kalyanji Anandji. The singing voice is that of Mukesh. Time and again, hearing the songs sung by Mukesh clearly makes on think, that Mukesh had a Midas touch. Any and every song, that has touched his lips, has turned into something special.
Originally, the song may or may not have any qualities or even pretensions, for greatness. But once Mukesh took over, the song is definitely destined to become memorable.
Listen to this wonderful ode of love, and savor the enriching voice of Mukesh.
Song-Tu laakhon mein hai ek sanam (Birju Ustaad)(1964) Singer-Mukesh, Lyrics-Qamar Jalalabadi, MD-Kalyanji Anandji
Lyrics
tu laakhon mein hai ek sanam
tu laakhon mein hai ek sanam
tujh si haseena
dekhi kabhi na
saare jahaan mein
teri kasam
haaye teri kasam
tu laakhon mein hai ek sanam
tu laakhon mein hai ek sanam
kyun ghoonghat mein daale ghere
kyun baitthe ho nazren phere
roothi ho kyun
hum se haseena
aawo manaayen gham
aawo manaayen gham
tu laakhon mein hai ek sanam
tu laakhon mein hai ek sanam
yaad tumhaari paas bulaa ke
rakh loon apne dil mein chhupa ke
isi bahaane
jaan e tamanna
saath raho hardam
saath raho hardam
tu laakhon mein hai ek sanam
tu laakhon mein hai ek sanam
tujh si haseena
dekhi kabhi na
saare jahaan mein
teri kasam
haaye teri kasam
tu laakhon mein hai ek sanam
tu laakhon mein hai ek sanam
