In this article, I am taking up for discussion, an obscure Hindi film whose shooting started in 1971 but completely stopped in 1976 for multiple reasons. In the meanwhile, the director left the film. In 1993, the producer of the film took the task of directing the film and completed shooting within one year without the main actor. However, the film could be released only after 37 years from the date of the commencement of the shooting, on April 27, 2008, that too in few theatres of Maharashtra. The name of the film is ‘Yaar Meri Zindagi’ (2008).

Kabir Das – a name that evokes reverence in the mind. A name that evokes respect, awe, admiration. A name that evokes message of Love for that One Supreme Parmatma. A name that evokes sentiments of social harmony, tolerance and universal brotherhood with no regards to the social, religious and familial associations of a person.

The Voice of Mukesh #76

Celebrating the Centenary of Mukesh

“o jaane waale ho sakey to laut ke aana. . .

The film is ‘Bandini’ from 1963. Words from the pen of Shailendra and the music composition from the mind of SD Burman. The voice – is the voice that has embellished nearly a thousand songs, with an attractive rendition that makes the listeners fall in love with every song.

Yes, Mukesh.

The Voice of Mukesh #75
– – – – – – – – – – – – –

One hundred years ago today. One of the most revered persona of Hindi film music was born in Delhi. Today, we are celebrating his centenary birth anniversary. More famous for his somber, sad and poignant renditions, he is known as the singer of melancholia. Once even he admitted in an interview, that his own preference is to sing songs of melancholy and sadness, rather than songs of light, comic or romantic mood. Of course romantic moods for him also meant ‘poignant’ for him. As is the song I am presenting in this post today.

Non-Film Songs of Mukesh – 03

Today, 22 July 2023 marks the birth centenary day of Mukesh Chand Mathur who was born in Delhi a hundred years ago.

His wiki page gives a fair information of his life and 36 years of film career which as we are all aware is mainly as a playback singer. In the initial part of his career he also acted, produced, and composed. However, his role as a playback singer put him high up on a pedestal as one of the greatest singers of all times. A singer whose very name brings to fond memories some of the exceptional songs that he rendered. A voice which touched the inner chords of human soul. A voice which we can easily associate and link to our daily lives. For sincerity, dedication and total submission to singing is what his voice is all about. Almost every song of his is a bhajan in my view as the voice was beyond the materialistic world and has one or the other facet of life covered. My song for this special post which we shall come up a bit later is a testimony to this view.

The Voice of Mukesh #74

Today we are treading the centenary celebration for this great singer, Mukesh. The effort has been to post one or two of his songs everyday this week. As discussed earlier, there still are quite a good number of his song, both film and non-film, that are still awaiting to come on board, so we have a fair sampling to choose from.

Mukesh and his Composers – 28A
——————————————–

As we continue our journey of posting obscure gems of Mukesh which are relatively less heard, we come across many interesting and sometimes unfortunate stories in the making of some the films. Sudhir ji sought to know, if I would be interested in posting a song from the film Society (early 70s, 1987, 2019). I said, I am aware that the song from this film is available, but I would take it up sometime later. However, he said that it must be part of the celebration of Mukesh’s birth centenary. It was an offer I could not refuse or postpone and hence this post.
