Today’s song is from an unknown film -Ankh Micholi-1942. Unknown does not mean it is not mentioned anywhere, but it only means that it was not known to most people. It is slightly lesser than ” less known’ films.
In 1940, after the film Kumkum the dancer, starring Sadhona Bose, the establishment of Sagar movietone was wound up and it was merged lock,stock and barrel with National Studios. After 3 films, this also closed down and Chimanlal Desai started his own Amar Pictures. As per Biren Kothari’s book- Sagar Movietone, after making just 6 movies, Amar also closed down. Out of these 6 films, except the film Adab Arz-1943, the other 5 films just came and went, without much noise.
Film Aankh Micholi-1942 was directed by a veteran and a spillover from the Silent era- R.S.Chaudhari. Music was by Gyan Datt and the Lyricists were Pt.Indra, Satyakam and Shatir Lucknowi. The cast of the film included Nalini Jaywant, Satish, Sulochana, Jillo, Hadi, Protima Devi and others.

#the Decade of Seventies –1971 – 1980 #
(#Debutant Movie-‘Baghaawat-1971’#)
Today we get introduced to yet another obscure movie from the decades of seventies. The title of this movie is ‘Baghaaawat-1971’.
I had earlier introduced a movie with the same title from the year 1951 in this post. In this post that appeared on the blog in June-2023, I had mentioned that movies with this title ‘Baghaawat’ were made in 1951, 1960s or 1964, 1971 and 1982. The movie made in the sixties or from the year 1964 was introduced in the blog during March 2023. This movie of 1964 is an Un-released/shelved movie made in the decade of sixties. ‘Baghaawat-1982’ was introduced in the blog as far back as in 2013 itself.

#The Decade of Eighties – 1981 – 1990 #
#Drunkard Songs -4 #
Today’s drunkard song is from the movie ‘Mawaali-1983’.
‘Mawaali-1983’ was directed by K. Bapaiyya for ‘Padmalaya Studios, Madras’. G. Hanumantha Rao was the producer of this ‘social’ movie passed by Censor Board on 28.10.1983.
By this time in 1983 I was studying in Std-XI with ‘PCM+ Vocational Subjects’. But, I was more interested in cricket and Rajesh Khanna movies than in my studies. But even then I had not watched this movie ‘Mawaali-1983’. I was averse to these Jeetendra movies coming from South directors except ‘Himmatwaalaa’ (since it was a first of its kind and discussed a lot then), ‘Tohfaa’ and ‘Maqsad’. ‘Tohfaa’ had some good songs and I watched it with many interested family members who had assigned me the task of booking the tickets for this movie.

Mukesh and his NFS – 14
We come back to arguably the most nostalgic songs that Mukesh sang in his life. I say life and not singing career because he recorded these half a dozen songs before he set foot in Bombay in 1940-41.
A young boy, 17 years of age managed to record 6 songs in Delhi and have them released on discs. How he pulled this great feat is not documented.
