It was 29 days ago (on 9 January 2026) that we had reached blog song post number 19800. That song post also happened to be 300th duets of Kishore Kumar and Asha Bhonsle. If 300 duets of a pair of singers is an enormous achievement then what will we say about twice that number of duets ? 600 duets !! That is a mind boggling mind numbing number of duets. This feat is achieved by Mohammad Rafi and Asha Bhonsle in the blog.

Mukesh and his Co-Singers –16

I begin this very special post with a video of Asha Bhosale ji on her own youtube channel.

A short video wherein she speaks about her first 3 songs in Hindi Films.

I tried to trace the chronological accuracy of the songs enlisted in the video. What I found was that the films mentioned seem to be correct, but she has sung two songs in her second film and so her duet in Lekh (1949) could be her fourth and she mentions it as her third.

Sometime later, I will try to trace the exact chronology, but what matters for this post is her first duet in Hindi Films.

A duet with none other than Mukesh.

I request readers to watch the interesting video as Asha ji talks of her initial days in the industry.

I wish the video was fully on Mukesh, but then she digresses on some other topic.

Anyway, her first interaction with Mukesh is quite interesting and only reaffirms and confirms the godly title given to Mukesh, “a noble soul”.

As is evident from the video, Mukesh right from his initial days had no qualms on worldly pleasures and led a simple, honest and righteous life. No wonder the voice emanating from such a noble soul continues to enthral music lovers all over the world to this day.

Coming to this post, I call it special as it is my 100th Mukesh post on the blog.

Today’s song is a complete turn around for my style of writing on old films and music. It is like something “out of syllabus” for me ! Today’s song is from the film Chameli ki shaadi-1986. Usually, I restrict my choices between 30s to the 60s films. But there are some films made after 1970 ( and even some after 2000) which I liked very much. Chameli ki shaadi-1986 is one such film.

Actually I saw my last Hindi film in a theatre somewhere in the year 1975-76. After that I have not visited any Theatre. I have not seen any Multiplex from inside anytime. It does not mean that I stopped seeing films. In the 80s and 90s I saw films on my VCR and later on, on Television. As my age advanced, my patience receded and it was impossible for me to sit before a TV set for 4 hours to watch a movie of 2 1/2 hours and advertisements of 1 1/2 hours. In any case after the year 2000 the kind of films made were certainly not to my taste and I stopped seeing films completely, with some exceptions.

“Mahua” (1969) was produced, directed and written by Bibhuti Mitra. The movie had Shiv Kumar, Anjana Manjrekar aka Anjana Mumtaz, Premnath, Farah, Asit Sen, Aruna Irani, Murad,Jankidas, Ulhas, Badri Prasad etc in it.

“Mahua” (1969) had eight sonfs in it. Five songs have been covered in the blog. The fifth song was covered in the blog in 2014 after that there has been a break of more than 11 years when songs of this movie have not been taken up for discussion.

Here is the sixth song from “Mahua” (1969) to appear in the blog. This song is sung by Asha Bhonsle. Qamar Jalalabadi is the lyricist. Music is composed by Sonik Omi.

The song is picturised as a “remonstrating with the Almighty” song on Anjana Manjrekar (later Anjana Mumtaz) while her beloved Shiv Kumar is thrown to the lions, like how it used to be done in ancient Rome. While Anjana is singing the song shaming the Almighty if HE does not pay heed, Shiv Kumar is wrestling with a lion. as the song ends, Shiv Kumar emerges victorious over the lion. 🙂 It shows that singing “remontrating with the Almighty” song used to bear fruits in Hindi movies of yore ! 🙂


Song-Pyaar mera jo toone lootaa (Mahua)(1969) Singer-Asha Bhonsle, Lyricist-Qamar Jalalabadi, MD-Sonik Omi

Lyrics

Bhagwan

pyaar mera jo toone loota
samjhoongee Bhagwan hai jhootha
sabko naach nachaane waale

bhagwan

ek thhee bavula naaree
toone uska lachhindar de hee diya
saccha Savitri ka pyaar thha
usne Yam se piya ko to le hee liya
pyaar saccha mera
de raha hai sada
ise chheenega kaise tu
soch le
ye to mera satyawan hai
soch le
aaj tera imtahaan hai
pyaar mera jo toone loota
samjhoongee Bhagwan hai jhootha
sabko naach nachaane waale
soch le
aaj tera imtahaan hai
Bhagwan

ansuya thhee prem pyaasee
rogee pritam ko usne bacha hee liya
Sita thhee Raghuwar kee pyaaree
usne Raavan se aanchal chhuda hee liya
dekh le bhar gaya ab ghada paap ka
paapee Raavan kee shakti ko noch le
tu to sarv shaktiman hai
paapee Raavan kee shakti ko noch le
tu to sarv shaktiman hai
Bhagwan
Bhagwan
Bhagwan
