I am reminded of Halley’s comet when I started writing this post. Relevance and context. . .?
Well, as they say…. samajhne waale samajh gaye hain
Anyway, coming to this unique post, all I can say is that I was surprised when I was asked to go ahead with the song by none other than Sudhir ji. There is some email interaction happening between self, Atul ji and Sudhir ji on another topic. In this interchange of emails and out of the blue, I was suggested to take up today’s “song”.
This song is from a film that never got completed. The film was shelved and the ‘song’ technically is from an unreleased film.
I am a huge admirer and follower of the rules of this blog such as.
- Only Hindi film and non-film songs are represented.
- Every song is represented only once, no matter how important or popular it is.
- Lyrics are a must in each post for the song represented.
- Multiple-version songs from the same film are considered as one.
Etc.
Of course, there are some exceptions, such as room for songs rendered in English in our Hindi films etc. “Wish Me Luck” from ‘Mera Naam Joker’ (1970), “My Heart Is Beating” from ‘Julie’ (1975) etc. being such examples. But then, I understand, deviations do require some permission and go-ahead from the bosses. 🙂
Well, how about a shelved and incomplete film.? Yes, we do have many such representations also. So, what’s unique about today’s song? Ok, the interesting thing about today’s song is that it is
- From an unreleased/incomplete/shelved film
- Recording of the song is not available
- The singer has sung the song in a concert
With this background, I bring forth a song sung in a concert by Mukesh from the film ‘Chalaak’ (some sources attribute the making year to 1966) which never saw the light of the day. Not much information is available about this film on the web, but I happened to find a very interesting and detailed article of this film authored by one Mr Karan Bali, and posted on the blog named ‘Upper Stall’. Here is the link to the full article – https://upperstall.com/features/incomplete-films-chalaak/.
Since the story behind the incomplete film is important, I am copy pasting the relevant paras from the same article. Readers are requested to read his detailed article from the link above as it also has some rare photographs taken during the shooting of this incomplete film. The sad tale of this film is linked with the equally sad life story of Madhubala, who was the heroine in this film.
Sometime around 1964, once she felt a little better, Madhubala decided to make a comeback and finish her work on yet another film that was stalled for quite some time, called Chalaak, where she was cast opposite Raj Kapoor. The film was being produced and directed by JK Nanda, who had directed singing star KL Saigal’s last film Parwana (1947), besides having worked with Madhubala earlier in films like Singaar (1949) and Dhake Ki Malmal (1956). The film also starred Agha, Om Prakash and Jeevan, while the music for the film was being scored by Raj Kapoor regulars Shankar-Jaikishan. According to the July 15, 1960 issue of Screen, some ten reels were in the can by then. Some more filming took place before Madhubala’s ailment again brought the film to a halt. It is said that she collapsed on the sets and was advised strict bed rest thereafter. Still determined to finish it, sometime around 1966, Madhubala again made a valiant attempt to complete the film. Stills of her from the film show just how ill she was, her still-beautiful face looking shrunken and heavily made up, a deep sadness in those famous twinkling eyes.
However, the physical effort to complete Chalaak proved too much for the actress. The film shut down shop for good. It was all the more tragic as it is said that Chalaak had just a few more filming days left. And in less than 3 years after its shelving, the Venus of the Indian screen left this world on February 23, 1969, when just 36. . .
While no records of the film’s music came out, Mukesh did sing a song from the film at some of his concerts. At one such function in the 1960s, he declared the film had not released but would soon be seen in the theatres. As we know that never happened. . .
The film never got released, however one solitary recording of Mukesh singing this song at a concert in Mombasa (Kenya) is thankfully available. I was aware of this song and had also heard it a few times on the net. But, for the reasons mentioned above regarding the rules of the blog, I was under the impression that I may not be entertained for posting it on the blog. However, when I was offered to represent this concert song, I grabbed it with both the hands. I thank Atul ji and Sudhir ji for giving me an opportunity to represent this unique song on the blog.
In connection with the writing of this post, I was also in touch with Shri Harish ji of Surat who as usual was quite prompt in his help and replies. I thank him for the help rendered.
I do not want to promise but can assure readers that the comet will appear soon again. 🙂

कह दे तो तोड़ के तारे ला दूँ
बता दे मेरी जान तेरे दिल में क्या है
बता दे मेरी जान तेरे दिल में क्या है
प्यार भरे दिल की महफिल में क्या है
प्यार भरे दिल की महफिल में क्या है
बता दे मेरी जान तेरे दिल में क्या है

Mahesh ji,
Samjhnewala samajh gaya!
A nice Mukesh song. A new category for the blog? A song from an unreleased (probably, not picturised) film being featured in it’s stage performance Avtaar!
Mukesh sounds sweet. The tune is simple, likeable and hummable.
If I am not wrong, Raj Kapoor and Madhubala have acted together in 4 movies….3 in the year 1947….NEEL KAMAL (First lead roles for both of them), CHITHOR VIJAY and DIL KI RANI……
4th…..DO USTAD, 1959. So, CHALAAK could have been their 5th movie together.
You assure the readers that you will appear soon. Comets appear according to the laws of the Universe. You are sure to give darshan every once in awhile. Here is wishing ‘come back soon’ to Mukesh bhakt Mahesh ji.

Pradeep ji,
Thanks for your comment. Yes, these seem to be the 4 films of the pair.
Everytime Chittor Vijay (1947) is mentioned, I wonder if Mukesh had given any sort of playback for RK in the movie. Apparently, this is the only film of S D Burman whose songs/details are not available in any form.
Late 40’s, Mukesh was going strong with SDB having sung 6 of his total dozen.
