We have discussed over two thousand songs of Rafi in this blog which adds up to just over 40 % of all the songs that he has sung in Hindi movies. Many of these songs are extremely well known songs, but at the same time we have also come across some totally unheard of songs. It no longer surprises me or regulars of this blog when we come across Rafi songs that we had never heard before.

The Voice of Mukesh #27

O what a gem this song is. I tracked this song as part of this series, and heard it for the first time recently. Probably the most beautiful song with the theme of ‘Mere Sapnon Ki Raani’. There is the iconic ‘Mere Sapnon Ki
Raani, Roohi Roohi Roohi’ song from the film ‘Shahjehaan’ (1946), sung by Saigal Sb. After 39 years came another song that took the country by storm –“Mere Sapnon Ki Rani Kab Aayegi Tu”(‘Aradhana’, 1969). In between and thereafter, there are a few other songs with this theme, none so notable as these. And then we have this song in 1948, a rendering by Mukesh, in my opinion, which is simply the best of the lot.

“Kab Kyun Aur Kahaan” (1970) was produced and directed by Arjun Hingorani. It was he who hit upon the idea of using three word titles, with each word beginning with K. That worked for him as well, seeing that the titles of his movies continued to be like that till 1990s, with titles like “Kahaani Kismat ki” (1973), “Khel Khilaadi Ka” (1977), Kaatilon Ke Kaatil(1981), Kaun Kare Kurbaani (1991) etc. Now you know where Ms Kapoor got her inspiration for all her TV serials with titles beginning with K.

When one talks of movies like “Mr India” and “Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka Raja”, one thinks about Anil Kapoor- Sridevi movies of 1980s and 90s. But movies with these titles were originally made in early 1960s. If you ask most music lovers, they will tell you that the music of the early 1960 movies are still nice to listen to.
