Our parents are our first friends. They were the first ones who understood that we are hungry or upset or just bored without our even speaking (of course we would cry very very loudly at all those points but still). But before we came in and wreaked havoc in their lives, the best families are the ones where they were each other’s best friends.

Hi all
I am discussing another great to watch Jodi today. Anil Kapoor and Madhuri Dixit. This is on farmaish from my daughter. She feels that they did some great work together in “Beta”, “Ram Lakhan”, “Kishen Kanhaiya”, “Khel” etc. These two acted together for the first time in “Tezaab” and Anil Kapoor has said in some interview a long time back that he was so impressed by the (then) young and hard working Madhuri that he recommended her to Subhash Ghai for the then under making “Karma”. And it seems they even shot a whole song after which Ghai thought that it was not wise to waste such a lot of talent for a guest appearance song and took her on for his next “Ram Lakhan”.

Voice of Mukesh #17

Ah, finally. I have with me now, the song from the 1946 film ‘Durbaan’ that has been eluding me so far. Graciously and thankfully sent to me by another collector friend. Readers will recall that this is the one song from 1946, still waiting to be posted, as we traverse the early years of Mukesh’s career. As per records, by the end of 1946, Mukesh had sung 21 songs in eleven films (starting from 1941).

People intersted in old Hindi movie music often come across names that may confuse people. For instance, there are people who confuse between Naushad and Nashaad. Then there are people (including some who are regarded as knowledgeable by others as well as by themselves) who think that Ghulam Haider and Ghulam Mohammad are one and the same ! A few years back, I was listening to an audiocast (I think the actual tem used in different) of a programme on old songs. The presenter presented a song from “Shaheed, viz. Watan ki raah mein watan ke naujawaan shaheed ho (Shaheed) . After the song, the presenter informed the listeners that the music of this song was compose by Ghulma Haider, and that music lovers are awrae of this music director for his compositions in “Paakeeza” (1972). After listening to this sentence, I lost all respect for the knowledge of the presenter about old Hindi movies.
