Men, they say, are from Mars. I am sure all the lady friends and readers on this blog will readily agree. No doubt when they need favors from their better halves, the pleading, hang-dog look on their faces is really very “maasoom”. But when they are in their own swing, well then the head is in the sky, and the whole creation is tiny and petty in comparison. Or so they say.

In the earlier post today, I had mentioned about the somewhat not-so-well-organized collection that is sitting on my hard drives. There is so much that I still have to explore myself. Even I myself am not fully aware of all the items that are sitting in there. It is an unsavory situation, in case I have to search for something and I do not know whether I will find it there. At other times, it is also a lot of fun, to be able to locate and bring out items that I remember or that other friends have requested for. (Please do not think I am trying to impress that my collection is exhaustive. It is not. 😉 )

Nainon se naina milaa ke : Song No. 4
——————————————
Song no. 4 in this series is again a duet, but this time it is Jagjit Kaur who is singing with Rafi. This is from the film ‘ Mera Bhai Mera Dushman ‘ (1967). I had never heard of this film. The lyrics are written by Kaifi Azmi and the composer is Khaiyyam. Now, about them I have definitely heard. 🙂

The Voice of Mukesh #58
– – – – – – – – – – – – – –
Yes, I return to 1948 again today. A song that has been pending, for want of being located. And now I have it. The film is ‘Chaand Sitaare’. And lo, what a gem of a song has been discovered. Every time such a thing happens, i.e. coming across an unheard and a very obscure gem, there is such a feeling of exhilaration on the discovery. And also, the reassurance that there still are many such songs waiting out there in what we call the ocean of Hindi film music, all waiting for someone to pick them up and bring up to the surface and to the attention of the listeners. Oh yes, I am sure many people with a long association with this love of Hindi film music would have heard of this and other such lost gems. But getting to it and finding out that it is now available online, gives such a sense of accomplishment.

In the earlier days of this blog, I would just discuss songs that occurred to me. With time, when we had some critical mass of songs we began to think in terms of discussing all the songs figuring in movies. At that time we relied upon our readers possessing HFGK to tell us which songs from which movies remained to be discussed.

Third song in the series is also from the 40’s. This is a solo by Geeta Dutt from the film ‘Hamaari Manzil” (1949). This movie is a treasure of wonderful songs. I have sent the lyrics of a few songs from this film, which are in the process of being posted.

Raag Maalikaa in Hindi Films – 5
=====================
‘Sau Saal Baad’ of 1966 was an unsuccessful ghostly mystery film, produced by B K Dubey. The star cast included Feroz Khan, Kumkum, Manmohan Krishna, Rajendra Nath, D K Sapru etc. Lyrics were by Aanand Bakshi and the superb music by Laxmikant Pyarelal. The music duo, with good knowledge of classical music composed this RaagaMaala, one of the best to be composed in Hindi Films. Singers Manna Dey and Lata Mangeshkar were unmatched as they always were, whenever singing of classical songs in HFM was concerned. Anand Bakshi provided beautiful typical traditional type of lyrics for those four compositions in Raagas Dhanya Dhaivat (a rare Raaga), Abhogi, Megh Malhar and Basant Bahar. The impressive violin piece after the first part, was played by Pt. Husnalal, who gave hit music in many Hindi films of Forties and Fifties with his brother, a team well-known as Husnalal-Bhagatram.
