# Bhoole-Bisre Geet # (Jaani Babu Qawwaal)
——————————————-——————————
(Qawwaalees – Part-2 – Post-14)
——————————

Today I am presenting a Qawwaalee song again. It is from an un-released movie of the 1970s which was later used in 1990 in another movie. This movie is titled as ‘Arab Ka Sona’ – for the seventies. Geet Kosh Vol-V mentions this movie under un-released movies of 1971-1980. However, there is no information about the cast of this movie. As per Geet Kosh (1971-1980) this movie was directed by C.K. Kadar for ‘C.K. Films’. Music composer for this movie is Jitin-Shyam. Eight songs are mentioned for this movie each with the name of the singers and lyricist. Geet Kosh has left a space indicating the possibility of more songs in this movie. For the eight songs the lyricists are Aish Kanwal(five songs), Shrikant (one song) and Shabnam Karwaari(two songs). Singers for this movie’s songs are Mohd Rafi, Krishna Bose, Nitin Mukesh, Jaani Babu Qawwaal, and Dilraj Kaur.

‘Mast’ (1999) was a romantic fantasy film which was produced and directed by Ramgopal Varma. The cast included Urmila and Aftab Shivdasani (debutant) in the lead roles supported by Dalip Tahil, Smita Jaykar, Govind Namdeo, Antara Mali, Niraj Vora, Raju Mavani, Suhas Bhalekar, Rajpal Yadav (debutant) etc.

As admitted by Ramgopal Varma in an interview with rediff.com just before the release of the film, during his younger days, he had an obsession with Sridevi. In the later years, he felt that most of the teenagers may be fantasising in their minds about their obsessions with actors. So, he felt that this obsession with an actor can be made into a musical romantic film. Ramesh Khatkar and Vinod Ranganathan jointly wrote the story, screenplay and dialogues for the film based on Ramgopal Varma’s own experiences.

Mukesh and his NFS – 11

In the annals of HFM, the association of Mukesh with composers Kalyanji-Anand ji will remain inscribed in golden letters for decades to come.

Class, genres, melody, numbers; you name it, you have it.

And, before the readers jump to conclusions, this post is not listing the songs of the combo. That will have to wait for another day since much work is involved in preparation of the long table as the numbers are in 3 digits. It will also involve multiple verifications so that no songs are missed.

In this regard, and in spite of posting 90+ Mukesh songs, it is an incomplete work if the following are not covered.

• Mukesh’s association with Shankar Jaikishen, Kalayanji Anandji and Laxmikant Pyarelal.
• Mukesh’s songs with Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhosale.
• Mukesh’s songs for Raj Kapoor.

I am cognizant of this huge lacuna in my work and will endeavor to complete the tasks.

Today, I take up a rather easier task. That of Mukesh’s NFS with Kalyanji Anandji.

Mukesh sang in about 56 Hindi films scored by Kalyanji Anandji and in about 5 films which did not see the light of the day; meaning they remained unreleased.

As far as NFS are concerned, apparently, there are none as such. But, MGK-II lists three songs under NFS category. Guess what? All three NFS have some “film in the making”, “shelved” and “unreleased” sort of tags associated with them.

Here is the short table of the 3 “NFS”.

S. No Name of the song Lyricist
1 Na kajre ki dhaar, na motiyon ke haar Indeewar
2 Main chakori tum gagan ke chandrama Unknown
3 Hey re dayamay apni daya se Unknown

Needless to say, 1 and 3 are already represented on the blog. I would request readers to open the links of the two posted NFS as they are very interesting songs.

1 as I have detailed in the post is probably from an incomplete film “Navagraha”.

3 was from a released film, but the said song itself was not included in the film.

Today’s duet with an unknown female co-singer and an unknown lyricist is also probably from an incomplete film “Poornima”. Please note that the combo also has songs in another released film of the same title Purnima (1965). In this film, Mukesh has 3 glorious songs.

Two solos and an evergreen duet with Lata Mangeshkar. I am tempted to start writing on the songs of the combo now itself, but then that post will have to wait.

For today, we have this last NFS (a duet) of Mukesh under Kalyanji Anandji’s composition with a female singer whose identity is not known.

Editor’s note: The female voice sounds like Suman Kalyanpur.

Song-Main chakoree tum gagan ke chandrma (Mukesh NFS)(1970) Singers-Mukesh, Suman Kalyanpur, Lyricist-Unknown, MD-Kalyanji Anandji

Lyrics

Ho o o

aa aa aa aa aa aa

Main chakoree
tum gagan ke chandrma chandrma

tum gagan ke chandrma chandrma

main adhooraa bin tumhaare poornima
ho main chakoree
tum gagan ke chandrma chandrma

phool apne aap man ke khil gaye ae
phool apne aap man ke khil gaye ae
maine maangee thhee kiran tum mil gaye ae
maine maangee thhee kiran tum mil gaye ae
?? ke aaj baahon mein sama chandrma

main adhooraa hoon tumhaare bin poornimaa
ho main chakoree
tum gagan ke chandrma chandrma

kalpana ke taar kyun phir se hiley
kalpana ke taar kyun phir se hiley
aaj se pehle bhee thhey kya hum miley
aaj se pehle bhee thhey kya hum miley
jaanee pehchaanee lage tu priytama priytama
main adhooraa bin tumhaare poornimaa
ho main chakoree
tum gagan ke chandrma chandrma

maangtee hain mujhse kya ankhiyaan teree
maangtee hain mujhse kya ankhiyaan teree
ho o maang bhar de aaj taaron se meree
maang bhar de aaj taaron se meree
beet na jaaye suhaana ye samaa ye samaa

main adhooraa bin tumhaare poornimaa
ho main chakoree
tum gagan ke chandrma chandrma

(Kishore Kumar’s 39th Remembrance Day 13th October 2025)

Yesterday 13th October 2025 was the 39th Remembrance Day of the legendary singer Kishore Kumar. He was born on 4th August 1929 at Khandwa (now in Madhya Pradesh) and he passed away at the age of fifty-eight only on 13th Octorber 1987 at Bombay (now Mumbai).

We are all aware Kishore Kumar started his singing career with the 1948 movie ‘Ziddi’ where he had given playback for actor Dev Anand. This was the song ‘marne ki duaayein kyun maangoon’. Kishore Kumar’s peak-time came during the end-of-sixties, and the decade of seventies was when Kishore Kumar’s voice was heard everywhere. He sang songs for many of the established actors as well as new-comers in the industry. And of course he was well-known as the voice of Dev Anand and voice of the Superstar-Rajesh Khanna.

Today’s song is from the film Jhamela-1953.

This is my 1700th post on this Blog. I am very pleased with this landmark. At the age of 86 years, if I am able to write so many articles, it is nothing less than God’s Blessings. This century is the third century I have achieved in a single year i.e. in 2025 ! The 15th century came on 28-1-2025, the 16th century came on 28-5-2025 and now the third century came today, on 13-10-2025. What a coincidence !

Starting my career as a medical Representative in Glaxo Laboratories, I retired in 1998 as the General Manager- Marketing and today I am a Director in 2 well known Pharma companies. After my retirement I ran my own Consultancy firm for 10 years and then I left the Pharma industry with 40 years’ experience.

Today’s song is from the film Narsi Bhagat aka Ram Dhun – 1957.

1957 – what a year it was ! The best year in the Golden Era! The best year in the 50s! The best year for melody and music! Such wonderful films came this year!!! The lineup of 1957 films looks like the selection of the creamy layer in everlasting music – ‘Mother India’, ‘Pyasa’, ‘Tumsa Nahin Dekha’, ‘Bhabhi’, ‘Asha’, ‘Miss Mary’, ‘Naya Daur’, ‘Do Aankhen Barah Haath’, ‘Paying Guest’, ‘Nau Do Gyarah’, ‘Dekh Kabira Roya’. ‘Nausherwaan e Adil ‘, ‘Gateway Of India’, ‘Hum Panchhi Ek Daal Ke ‘, ‘Kathputali’, ‘Sharada’

Recently, I came across the film ‘Hari Bhari’ (2000) when I was scrolling through the filmography of Shyam Benegal. After going through the details of the film, I thought that this may be a documentary film because the film was produced by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India and National Film Development Corporation (NDFC). The title of the film which in English means ‘fertility’ reinforced my assumption of a documentary film on family planning. The film had Shabana Azmi, Rajit Kapur, Rajeshwari Sachdev, Nandita Das, Surekha Sikri, Seema Bhargav and other actors who have been usually associated with Shyam Benegal films. The duration and the songs in the film created a doubt in me whether it was really a documentary film. So, I decided to watch the film at least for the sake of its songs.
