The search for songs of Mukesh continues as we close in on his last set of remaining songs that are yet unpublished on the blog. With the current count (prior to this post) at 818, there still is a good number of songs to be tracked and brought on board. The revised and updated Mukesh Geet Kosh (compiled by Shri Harish Raguvanshi of Surat) which was released in November of 2020, puts the number of Hindi songs identified at 980. The breakup of this number is given as
Film songs – 897
Version songs – 4

There are another 73 songs identified and listed in the Mukesh Geet Kosh, which are film and non-film songs in regional languages.

Mukesh and his Composers – 27

My apologies are in order but then, I can explain. Or so it seems.

In my recent post “Honee Rahe Ho Kar” on Mukesh’s association with composer Surinder Kohli, I had said that it was the only song sung by Mukesh under his composition. Recently, I found myself looking at this name for one more film. But then he is paired up with another composer called Gurubachan.

Today’s song is from the film Ladli-1949.

The year 1949 falls under the “Golden Era” of HFM. There are as many dates as there are so called “Experts” on HFM. Some say the period is from 1950 to 1970, others say it was from 1945 to 1980 and still some more vouch for 1947 to 1960. As a ‘Rasik’ and a student of Old Hindi films and Music (but not an expert), I feel the GOLDEN ERA should be from 1946 to 1970 – a cool period of 25 years (both years included).

Today’s song is from the film Dhoomketu (1949).

There was one more film having the same title in 1985, but that film had a credible story dealing with some scientific research etc. However today’s film was only a C grade stunt film and had nothing to do with Astronomy or any other science. It was a plain, simple, predictable stunt film. Dhoomketu (Comet) is the name of the film’s Hero. In my entire life I have never come across such a name in any language or any state of India. Hats off to the story writer of this film.

In this article, I am taking up a rare song from ‘Sharaarat’ (1944) which I had uploaded on one of the video sharing platforms about 6 years back for covering on the Blog. However, it got delayed because I was not sure of the playback singer of the song. In the milieu, I completely forgot to follow it up. A few days back, I heard this song on the website which reminded me of a long pending post which I am taking up.

Today’s song is from the film Biwi (1950).

In the HFGK the title of this film is spelt as BEEWEE, whereas elsewhere on YouTube and the entire internet sites which I saw, the spelling is BIWI. A simple word like BIWI became BEEWEE for reasons known only to the makers of this film.
