Rajesh Khanna and Hema Malini, the top male and female stars of 1970s, combined for the first time in 1974 in “Premnagar” (1974). Rajesh Khanna’s stars were setting at that time and the movie did not do as well as most Rajesh Khanna movies did just a few years ago during his heady days as the heartthrob of movie goers.

When Helen appears on the screen, a very automatic thought that crosses the mind is – the playback singer will be Asha Bhosle. Such is the association between the two, that across the decades, most of the Helen dance songs have been crooned by Asha ji. But yes, there are other playback singers also that have sung for Helen on screen, and it will be an interesting category by itself – ‘non Asha Bhosle songs of Helen’. As I was searching for a special song for this post, it is completely by chance that I came across this wonderful peppy number, a Helen mujra song, sung by Usha Timothy. I heard it for the first time last night, and it is one of those matters of falling in love on the first hear.

The Voice of Mukesh #37
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

Ah haa, another lovely ghazal, this time from a lesser known film from 1949. The film is ‘Nazaare’, from the renowned banner of Ranjeet Movietone. The film is directed by Prahlad Dutt. A reading of the star cast indicates this would be one of those assembly line outputs of Ranjeet. The star cast includes Shashikala, Agha, Satish, Shanti Madhok, Khan, Anwari, Ramesh Thakur, Ram Avtar, Rajendra. The poet for the lyrics is identified as Rajinder Krishan, and the music is from the baton of Bulo C Rani. The film has sixteen songs in all, and a bit surprising that Bulo C Rani thought of using Mukesh for only one song in this film.

I have mentioned it in a previous post that there are two sites that are blatantly copying the contents of this blog for the last several days. I had avoided mentioning these sites by name, hoping that better sense would prevail and I had acted in the manner advised on internet. Under such situations, the advise is to find the hosts of these sites and inform the hosts. I had informed the hosts of these two sites. One host seemed to be responding somewhat but the other host would only respond by sending an automated response everytime I emailed that host.
