If I were to write that the ‘M’ in Mukesh stands for ‘Magic’, I am sure there will be very few who would disagree. This song – another wonderful duet by Mukesh and Asha Bhosle, is a magic colored with these two voices. A soft and light song of love, from two hearts that are probably finding love for the first time – and that the heart now smiles in happiness, for every reason, and at every pretext.

When one is searching for music from the so called second rung music directors, one begins to come across films one never imagined they existed. Take this one for example. Kind of lost in the list of similar sounding films. There is a fair number of films that start with the word “Rustom”. ‘Rustom-e-Hind’, ‘Rustom-e-Rome’, ‘Rustam Sohrab. etc. This film has not yet appeared on this blog. So with this song, now the film “Rustom –e- Baghdad” makes an entry here. Produced in 1963 under the banner of Henna Films, Bombay and directed by BJ Patel. The star cast is impressive (for B/C grade) and includes Dara Singh, Vijaya Chaudhry, Chandrashekhar, Shakila Banu Bhopali, Bhagwan, Rajan Kapoor, Shashimala, Polson, Devichand, Sumitra, Maya Tandon, Bakhshi etc. As to the storyline, I would request other knowledgeable readers to please add more information about this film.

In my younger days, the name of the film FUNTOOSH (1956) sounded to me a bit bizarre. I had also heard people using this Hinglish lingo as adjectives in different context. I had no occasion to watch this movie but judging (or misjudging) from the name of the film, I thought that it was a comedy movie and the song ‘ye meri topi palat ke aah’ was a pointer to that. It was only later when I heard ‘dukhi man mere’ I felt that the film was of a different genre.

Music director N Dutta started his career as an independent composer in 1955. That year, two films were released which have music created by him. The films are ‘Marine Drive’ and ‘Milaap’. The musical scores are very impressive in both these films, and that set the pace for N Dutta’s career in subsequent years. Three songs each from both these films are already represented on this blog. But as I reviewed the remaining songs from this film, there is still a few gems contained in these movies that need to be discussed here. In this post, I present the fourth song from ‘Milaap’, that is listed as the debut film for N Dutta.

It has intrigued me as to why Jaan Nisar Akhtar, who joined the film industry as a lyricist in early 50s was not as successful as his contemporaries such as Sahir Ludhianvi, Majrooh Sultanpuri and Shakeel Badayuni among others. I came to know about him as a lyricist when I bought a 78 RPM records of YASMIN (1954) in early 70s.
