In this article, I am taking up for discussion, an obscure Hindi film whose shooting started in 1971 but completely stopped in 1976 for multiple reasons. In the meanwhile, the director left the film. In 1993, the producer of the film took the task of directing the film and completed shooting within one year without the main actor. However, the film could be released only after 37 years from the date of the commencement of the shooting, on April 27, 2008, that too in few theatres of Maharashtra. The name of the film is ‘Yaar Meri Zindagi’ (2008).

Today’s song is from the film 25th July-(1951).

This is the second film in succession having a title, beginning with only a number, from which I have discussed songs. Surprisingly, as per the Film Title Index book by Hamraz ji, there are as many as 53 films , whose titles start with numericals, during the period 1931 to 2012. I am not considering film titles starting with “Ek”, because though a number, it is written in words – for example Ek thi Ladki etc. Such films are actually 206 in numbers for the same period. Let us take a look at a few film titles from the lot of 53 films….

The Voice of Mukesh #75
– – – – – – – – – – – – –

One hundred years ago today. One of the most revered persona of Hindi film music was born in Delhi. Today, we are celebrating his centenary birth anniversary. More famous for his somber, sad and poignant renditions, he is known as the singer of melancholia. Once even he admitted in an interview, that his own preference is to sing songs of melancholy and sadness, rather than songs of light, comic or romantic mood. Of course romantic moods for him also meant ‘poignant’ for him. As is the song I am presenting in this post today.

Non-Film Songs of Mukesh – 03

Today, 22 July 2023 marks the birth centenary day of Mukesh Chand Mathur who was born in Delhi a hundred years ago.

His wiki page gives a fair information of his life and 36 years of film career which as we are all aware is mainly as a playback singer. In the initial part of his career he also acted, produced, and composed. However, his role as a playback singer put him high up on a pedestal as one of the greatest singers of all times. A singer whose very name brings to fond memories some of the exceptional songs that he rendered. A voice which touched the inner chords of human soul. A voice which we can easily associate and link to our daily lives. For sincerity, dedication and total submission to singing is what his voice is all about. Almost every song of his is a bhajan in my view as the voice was beyond the materialistic world and has one or the other facet of life covered. My song for this special post which we shall come up a bit later is a testimony to this view.
