Blog Day : | 6600 | Post No. : | 20500 |
Mohd Rafi – A Journey Divine – 2
(1947)
तेरी आवाज की जादूगरी से
ना जाने किस जहां में खो गया हूँ
इसी आवाज से चौंका था लेकिन
इसी आवाज में गुम हो गया हूँ
जहां में खो गया हूँ
The coincidence that we arrive at today, was indicated to me by Mahesh ji about 10 days back. And after some back and forth explanations, discussions and negotiations, the editors agreed to designate today as a dual century milestone day.
Yes, we arrive at the 6600th day of continuous musical disbursal of Hindi film songs. All numerical analysis and all the performance superlatives can be done and stated, but then that will just be a repetition of what has been told and discussed numerous times in the past. What we are moving towards forward is a glorious ongoing celebration, as always. Neither this ocean of HF music is going to deplete, and nor will the momentum and potential of this musical bandwagon will falter and rest. Miles to go yet, yes, many many more miles to go, but nothing like sleep to pause on the way.
May the journey of this bandwagon be blessed, and may it continue to accumulate the accolades and the bouquets – for the unstinted and the peerless effort anywhere on the world wide web. And come to think of it this way – maybe some will ask this in their minds – what purpose is being served by this endeavor ? Besides of course putting together a massive compilation of Hindi film songs. Well, my answer to that is – this venture, this so appropriately and so truly designated as a labor of love – it is the ongoing honoring of the stalwarts – both big and small, both popular and anonymous, both celebrated and neglected – the stalwarts who spent their lives to feed this oceanic enterprise called the Hindi cinema, and build this vast repository of music. A grandiose legacy that has been bequeathed to this world at large – to entertain, to give an expression to all the human emotions in all their various colors and flavors. Taking the thousand foot view of this enterprise, it is an ongoing humungous project that continues to assimilate, enumerate and generate asseverations of the multitude flavors of human emotions.
Yes, the effort of this bandwagon, led by the fearless leader (who now verily has an enhanced observation vision 🙂 ), is unmatched, is without a peer anywhere on the net. And I am proud and delighted to be part of this effort along with all my comrades in arm, all pitching in with their knowledge and insights into this ocean of music.
6600 days is a huge chunk of life itself. A passage of years that brings on at least two new generations in the human population. And so we continue, to work within this enterprise, crossing generations of time. And to compound the celebration today, we just slid past another massive milestone – the 205th century song to showcased on our blog. But what to say about it – so much has been said before, and I will just be rephrasing the past. But then, one certain thing to be said – that we all doff our caps in salute, and with a minimal pause, the trek continues. As always, the backlog in the pipeline does not allow a breather to relax. Past this 20500th song post, and on to now the next song, the next century song, the next thousandth . . .
I continue, after a gap of some months – the journey to track and catalog the flow of that divine voice that we so lovingly and respectfully call as Mohammed Rafi.
In the previous and first episode that was published as the song “Dupatta Mora Aaj Hi Rang Dijo“, (from film ‘Mansarovar’ of 1946) I had covered first three years of Rafi Sb’s career – from 1944 to 46. With this post I venture into 1947, and see the beginning of this singing voice. With three songs in 1944, then 12 songs in 1945, on to 39 songs in 1946, we come into 1947 and find a recorded list of 28 songs in 16 films, which are listed below.

And beginning to track his progress from year to year, I prepare the following table, which will get updated as we progress from one episode to the next.
| 1944 | 3 | 3 |
| 1945 | 12 | 15 |
| 1946 | 39 | 54 |
| 1947 | 28 | 82 |
Listening to this voice in all its different colors, emotions and renditions, the thought goes out to the quality of expression of this voice. I am sure all of us must have come across and viewed the few handful videos live interviews of Rafi Sb. Viewing these videos and hearing him speak, a wondrous thought comes to mind. Listening to his voice in these informal conversations, one is struck by the relaxed soft tones of this voice – so unhurried, so humble. One almost has to strain one’s listening to catch his words. And then the wonder appears in the mind – is this really the voice that has been recorded as “Bhagwaan, Bhagwaan. . . O Duniya Ke Rakhwaale”, or “Baar Baar Dekho, Hazaar Baar Dekho”, or the cresendoing notes of “. . . Inteha Ye Hai Ke Bande Ko Khuda Karta Hai Ishq” in the qawwaali “Na To Karvaan Ki Talash Hai”, and few thousand other sound and emotional variations that we are so used to hearing since childhood. Seriously, it is really a stretch of imagination to equate this humble soft voice in the live interviews, with the wondrous, and sometimes thunderous, variations of rendition that Rafi Sb has produced and presented from within himself. And I keep wondering – is this the same person.
Well, more observations on this topic in the next episode. I am already so drastically late with this post, that I curtail my thoughts – to be continued later.
Today’s song in from the 1947 film ‘Aap Ki Sewa Mein’.
‘Aap Ki Sewa Mein’ is a production from the banner of Chandrama Pictures, and is directed by Vasant Joglekar. The eight songs of this film are penned by Mahipal, yes the same Mahipal that we are more familiar as the actor. The music composition is by Dutta Davjekar. The interesting thing to note is that this is the film in which Lata Mageshkar has sung plaback in Hindi films for the first time.
Rafi Sb’s voice, in this song, sounds so familiar and so mature already. Very similar to the voice we are so used to listening in the songs of 1950s and 60s. Listen and judge for yourself.
Song – Main Teri Tu Mera (Aap Ki Sewa Mein) (1947) Singer – Mohantara Talpade, Mohammed Rafi, Lyrics – Mahipal, MD – Dutta Davjekar

This article is the 20400th song post in the blog.
| Blog Day : | 6554 | Post No. : | 20400 |
Previous blog century (20300th song post) appeared on 30 May 2026. 29 days later, we reach the next blog century viz blog post number 20400.
It appeared like we reached the coveted summit of song post 20000 just recently. And now we havealready added another 400 songs to our tally.
In case of the previous century, the century song was identifed in advance. Here in this case, I decided on the song last evening, but when I looked at the songs that preceded the century song, I decided that the century song needed to sound as good as the songs that preceded it early in the day. So I have picked a song that I had earlier earmarked for some other special occasion. I decided that a century post is as special an occasion as any for that song.
This song is from “Apne Paraaye”(1980). This movie in a way is a throwback to those days of yore when story of the movie was taken from a novel written by an eminent littérateur and the movie made on the story would be faithful to the story line contained in the literary masterpiece.
“Apne Paraaye”(1980) was based on a Bengali novel, ‘Nishkriti’ (1917) by Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay. Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay needs no introduction, of course. His stories have been made into a large number of well known movies in several languages. His story of “Devdas” itself has been made into over 20 movies in various languages, four of them being in Hindi alone.

This article is the 20300th song post in the blog. This article covers the 100th solo song of Lata Mangeshkar which is penned by Rajinder Krishan and composed by C Ramchandra.

It was in early may (5 may 2026 to be precise) when the blog reached its previous century (blog post number 20200). Today,we are still in the month of may 2026, and we find ourselves reaching next century (blog post number 20300). Two centuries in the same month ! It is like two full moon days in the same month. 🙂
It must be said that reaching two centuries in a month was fairly common for the blog, but the last time this feat was achieved was in February 2018. Prior to that it was achieved in March 2017 and January 2015. This was very common before that. There were as manty as 34 such occasions before 2015. The month of April 2013 was extra special. As many as three century posts were published that month (on 1 april, 14 april and 28 april)! Those were the days when we used to score centuries in 13 and 14 days. The fastest century in the blog is scored in 11 days (song post number 4600 on 9 september 2011).
25 days for a century at a rate of 4 songs a day is quite decent by our present rate of posting. Unlike in the past, most posts now a days are guest posts. It shows that the blog has now firmly become an online collaboration of likeminded music lovers.

Alphabetical list of actresses who have lip synced in Asha Bhonsle’s voice- Part I
(Asha Bhonsle singing for Actresses whose name begin with the letter A)
Asha Bhonsle passed away recently and many people paid tributes to her in various ways. One tribute that caught my eye was a video that carried snippets of 35 Asha Bhonsle songs picturised on 25 different actresses. The actresss were well known and the songs were well known too.

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.

That occasion is here again. The occasion when we reach a blog century post and then start wondering which song to cover as the century song. This time, I had a genneral idea that which artists should figure in the sopng. Apart from that, I was just as unprepared for the occasion as I generally am whenever a blog century appears. Acting at the eleventh hour and 59th minute has become a habit with me it seems. 🙂

As it is, Blog century is a regular and recurring destination for the blog. after we arrive at a blog century, we do not take a pause rather keep continuing to cover more and more songs in the blog and before we realise, we are staring at the next blog century.
This has taught me a lesson that When you do not worry about the destination then you reach your destination almost painlessly and unnoticeably.When one thinks about it, one realises that we have had as many as 196 blog centuries already and now we are only blog century number 197, viz blog song post number 19700.
This blog century has been reached in 26 days, which appears quite a good pace for the blog at present. We cannot compare this rate from the last decade when we were clocking centuries in 16 days but then we were one decade younger at that time and we had far more energy.

The previous post published earlier today was post number 19499. Eagle eyed regulars may have also noticed that today was 6300th day for the blog. So, going by past experience, they must be expecting the blog century post today.
They are not wrong, of course. When I noticed that we were approaching 6300th day for the blog, I decided to coincide that with blog century post. That meant I had to slow down from the usual rate of posts (3 to 4 posts a day) for a couple of days.
It is not the first time when blog century post has appeared on such a round hundred day for the blog. 18700th post had appeared on on 6000th day. Earlier 16900th post had appeared on 5000th day of the blog.
