Today’s song is a Qawwali from the film Hurricane Hansa-1937.
The Indian film industry was still in its childhood in 1937. It had been just 6 years since the first Talkie film was made in India. The initial years were of experimentation. The filmmakers were trying various topics in their films.
Indian audiences may be from different states and languages, but Mythological and Stunt films were common favourites all over India. From the first decade when the first silent movies were made till the 1960s, these two genres continued unabated.
Most of us like to see films, be it on a TV, in a cinema hall, or through DVD. Some like old films, some like new films. Did you ever see films like, Khooni Khanjar, Dagabaj Doctor, Shaitan ka paash, Char chakram, Daku Rani Talwarwali, Jaadu ka dandaa, Zinda Laash, Revolver Rani, Sinbad-Aladdin-Alibaba, Flying man, Fighter Sheela, Khooni Darinda, Tarzan aur Jadugar, Tarzan aur Jadui Chiraag, Golden Gang, Murde ki jaan khatare mein, or Jadui putli ?

This post is in memory of legendary singer Mukesh on his Remembrance Day (22 July 1923 to 27 August 1976).
The post is also in memory of arguably Mukesh’s greatest fan and compiler of Mukesh Geet Kosh, Shri Harish Raghuwanshi ji(15 October 1949 to 27 August 2024), who passed away on the same day and month last year (on 27 August 2024).
At the outset, as I pen down my 100th post on this unique blog, I take the opportunity to express my heartfelt and sincere thanks to Atul ji for providing this platform on a platter for Hindi Film Music aficionados to not only contribute thoughts on films and songs but also flex flairs for writing.
Today’s song in memory of Mukesh and Harish ji is easily available but is unique in the sense that the details about the making of this song are not available in public domain.

#the Decade of Fifties – 1951 – 1960 #
————————————————
In this post I am presenting a song from the movie ‘Taajposhi-1957’. This movie had made its debut on the blog long back on 03.01.2014. No songs from this movie were posted on this blog thereafter; the non-availability of these songs on internet might have been the reason behind this. However, now I noticed that some songs from this movie (if not all) are available on internet. And when I looked for this song which has the voice of Talat Mahmood, and found that it is available, I am taking this opportunity to present it here.
This song is a duet song in the voices of Asha Bhonsle and Talat Mahmood.

Kamsune/Unsune songs of Asha Bhosle – 44
The title song of “Hawas” (1974) remains to be posted on this blog. So here it is – the song is “Yeh Hawas Kya Hai” sung by Asha Bhosle, written by Sawan Kumar and composed by Usha Khanna. The song is by no means a rare or a rarely heard song but I have added it to my list because of a request from a friend.
As mentioned in my earlier post, ‘Hawas’ is directed by Sawan Kumar for ‘Mercury Productions’. He was also the producer, storywriter and the lyricist of this movie. The star cast includes Anil Dhawan, Neetu Singh, Bindu, Vidya Sinha, Shiv Kumar, Fariyal, Pradeep Kumar, Randhawa and Mehmood. Supported by Pichoo Kapoor, Ashok Khanna, Randhir, Asit Sen, Shera, Basant, Neelam, Nelu, Sharmilee, Jugnu, and Coca-cola. Rekha and Vinod Mehra made friendly appearance in this movie.
