Mukesh and his Composers – 49

We come back to that fateful day of August 27th, on which in 1976, in far off Detroit city, Mukesh left for his heavenly abode. 

As such, this is a special post featuring Mukesh’s songs for an important composer duo for whom he sang the maximum number of songs. Also, I have arrived at S.No. 49 in this series featuring Mukesh and his Composers.

This song is a particularly enjoyable example of the playful romantic duet that R. D. Burman and Anand Bakshi were so good at creating in the early 1970s. It is sung by Kishore Kumar and Lata Mangeshkar, composed by R. D. Burman, and written by Anand Bakshi. On the screen it is lip synced and performed by Randhir Kapoor and Neetu Singh.

The post today has something in common with Atulji’s post, which inspired this one. Atulji introduced Divya Bharati when he came to the letter D in his series of alphabetical posts featuring actresses lip-synching to Asha Bhosle’s songs. The film from which today’s song is taken is believed to deal, in some way, with Divya Bharati’s death, which occurred nearly 20 years before the film was released. How far this connection is actually true, however, is difficult for me to say.

With today’s post, the actress Devshi Khanduri makes her debut on this blog. Devshi Khanduri is not only an actress, but also a model and lyricist. She was born on 13 March 1983 in Mumbai and brought up in Dehradun. She began modeling while she was in college and subsequently worked in advertising and fashion before making her entry into films. She had already worked on advertising campaigns and fashion assignments before turning to acting.

oday’s song is the last and final song from a film which no one remembers now. The film is Daraar-1972.

The film had a poor story, without a specific end- neither a Tragedy nor a happy ending-. It was directed by a person who had no earlier experience of direction. The cast was inexperienced and weak in acting.The music was outdated,lustreless and ordinary. Such a film could not, naturally, be a memorable film. The hero was ordinary, the heroine was ” one film wonder” and the supporting cast was not worthwhile.
