Mukesh and his Composers – 45
Uncle Manohar Lal Sonik and nephew Om Prakash Sonik formed a composer-duo with the name Sonik-Omi and left behind some of the most memorable songs in HFM. However, in spite of their debut film Dil Ne Phir Yaad Kiya (1966) creating musical history and many other subsequent songs in other films becoming popular, their name and fame never reached the heights it ought to have.
Ishwar Bhakti (with Giridhar) (1951) and Mamta with Hansraj Behl (1952) were probably the two films wherein Sonik composed music without Omi.
Sonik experimented with singing and assisting other composers and later when Omi joined films, he too assisted other composers for some time.
Dil Hi Tho Hai (1963) under Roshan is probably the first film where they are credited as Assistant Music Directors as Sonik-Omi. In this film, B. L Rawal must have got to know the skills of the duo and in 1966 independently allotted them Dil Ne Phir Yaad Kiya (1966).

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 aa hit with me it seems. 🙂
I was very clear in my mind (and this clarity came to me when the blog was still some 50 songs short of this century) that the song has to be a duet of Kishore Kumar and Asha Bhonsle. The reason was that together these two prolific and popular singers had as many as 295 duets in the blog and I wanted the blog century to coincide with their 300th duet in the blog.
I think most regulars will agree that the best duets sung by Kishore Kumar and Asha Bhonsle are already showcased in the blog. Take a sample of their songs that are already covered in the blog :-
We can see that the above list (which is indicative not exhaustive) is full of all time classic duets that have already been covered in the blog. Most of them were covered during the earlier days of the blog itself.
Seeing that most great Kishore Kumar-Asha Bhonsle duets were already covered in the blog, finding a suitable duet for the occasion was a tall order for me. I have looked at more than thirty as yet uncovered duets. They were all very good songs, but somehow I was not satisfied in my mind that they suited the occasion. After spending considerable time looking at over thirty songs, I finally decided that I had a suitable song from the occasion. This song, like most Kishore Kumar- Ashha Bhonsle songs listed above, is an all time popular song. There are some other all time popular songs by them in the same era but I did not pick them for various reasons, such as picturisation not upto the mark, the music sounding repetitive etc.
The song that I have picked is a great song to listen to, and a great song to watch. This song appears like a great example to team work. This kind of song situation have been seen quite a few times during the time when this song came up, and so it was a challenge for lyricists to come up with lyrics that would do justice to the song sitution. It must be said that the lyricist has come up with lyrics that were so catchy that the song quickly caught public imagination and the song became a very popular song on loudspeakers.
If one watched the picturisation, one realised that the people who were incharge of picturisation had left no stones (in this case kalse) unturned in getting the song picturised in a grand manner. Water vessels (Kalse) are the major attrackting of the picturisation. An enourmous number of kalse are arranged in different patterns as the song proceeds.
The song begins with female dancers standing in two columns. They throw kalash held by them into sky towards the femaledancersstanding on the opposite column, who catch then expertly like good cricket fielders, and the throw them back from where they came. All this while Sri Devi runs between the two columns,with such good timing that her run does not interrupt the kash throwing that is going on.
When the song begins, Jeetendra and Sri Devi are seen performing various PT exercises that passes for dance. 🙂 Yes, that is what I noticed about the dance movements of the lead pair. 🙂
Overall, it is great singing and great picturisation that keeps the music lovers enthralled throughout the song.
So, here is the 19800th song in the blog which also happens to be the 300th Kishore Kumar-Asha Bhonsle duet in the blog.
The movie is “Tohfa”(1984). It was produced by D Ram Naidu and directed by K Raghavendra Rao for Suresh Productions, Madras. The movie had Jeetendra, Sridevi, Jayaprada, Kader Khan, Shakti Kapoor, Mohan Choti, Urmila Bhatt, Leela Mishra, Jagdeep, Aruna Irani, Jayshree T, Master Rinku etc. Asrani was also there in a friendly appearance.
Tohfa had five songs in it. Two songs have been covered in the blog.
While covering a previous song from this movie, I had commented that Kishore Kumar and Asha Bhonsle had the ability to make an otherwise ordinary song with average lyrics sound wonderful. In a way, they were keeping the standard of HFM high with their singing even though the quality of lyrics and music was going down after 1980s.
Here is a great song from post golden era of HFM that was as good as those composed during the golden era. A song fit to be the 19800th song in the blog and also a song fit to be the 300th Kishore Kumar-Asha Bhonsle duet in the blog.
So we will again take fresh guard and will continue remoselessly in our onward musical journey. Here is hoping that we continue to reach many more destinations in our journey and we continue to find many hidden and forgotten musical gems along the way.
I take this opportunity to thank one and all for their support and encouragement that keeps this musical bandwagon going on and on. We are now just 200 songs short of the magic figure of 20000. A mind boggling figure, but one that is within striking distance.

“Kavi”(1954) was directed by Debki Bose for sunrise Pictures, Bombay. The movie had Bharat Bhushan, Geeta Bali, Nalini Jaywant, Chandrashekhar, B M Vyas, Jankidas, Om Prakash etc in it.
The movie had ten songs in it. Six songs have been discussed in the blog in the past.
Here is the seventh song from “Kavi”(1954) to appear in the blog. This song is sung by C Ramchandra and Asha Bhonsle. Rajinder Krishan is the lyricist. Music is composed by C Ramchandra.
Only audio of the song is available. From the lyrics, it is clear that the song takes a light hearted look at the “fashionable” ladies of those days. Yes, women used to be fashionable and westernised even seven decades ago. 🙂

Today, January 5, 2025, is the 44th Remembrance Day of Ramchandra Narhar Chitalkar, popularly known as C Ramchandra as a music director and Chitalkar as a playback singer. He regaled the connoisseurs of Hindi film music with his melodious musical compositions in the 1950s and 1960s. He was the pioneer of introducing popular foot-tapping songs with western musical influence and western musical instruments like saxophone and guitar in his compositions as early as in the 1940s. At the same time, he was composing classical raag-based as well as folk-based songs. He was trained in Hindustani classical music for six years first under Vinayakbua Patwardhan and later Shankarrao Sapre.
Despite producing many melodious songs especially in the 1950s, it is unfortunate that C Ramchandra did not get any award – whether National Film Award or Filmfare Award as a music director. The first Filmfare Awards were announced in April 1954 for films released in 1953. But his film, ‘Anarkali (1953) was not in the reckoning for the best music director’s award. His film, ‘Aazaad’ (1955) and ‘Paighaam’ (1959) were nominated for the Filmfare Award in best music director category but did not win. But the fact remains that many of his melodious and rhythmic songs of 1950s are still popular among the current generation which itself is a great award to a creative genius.
