Mukesh and his Actors – 10
This will be the last of the duets that Mukesh sang with Suman Kalyanpur. For obvious reasons, I take back readers to my post on their complete collaboration. Here is the memorable post.
Out of the 36 duets they sang, 5 were yet to be covered by that time. One was covered in that post itself. One was a cheeky post taken away by Atul ji, citing reasons why I could not have taken it up. 😊
Thereafter, I covered two duets and this is the last. It is from the film Chori Chori (1973).
Well, this film is not to be confused with the more popular Chori Chori (1956) even though both films were composed by the same composers, Shanker Jaikishan.

Mukesh and his Actors – 09
Actor Rakesh Pandey (9 April 1940-21 March 2025) made his acting debut in the film Sara Aakash (1969). He won the President’s Award for his role in the film. Apart from Hindi films and TV serials, he was also associated with Bhojpuri silver and small screen and won several awards in the latter regional language association.
He was also associated with FTII, IPTA etc. But with all these startups and awards, my perception is that he could not place himself in the top league of actors. He is, however, known for playing family-centric roles and his rich contributions counted and remembered.

Mukesh and his Co-Singers –17
Continuing the series on Mukesh and his co-singers, I bring forth the songs that he sang with Usha Timothy. I had written this post about four months back, but it was put under hold because I had built up a narrative on half-truths and unverified claims as they were imperative for the subject of the post. The editors, however, thought it was prudent not to include such questions/hypotheses in the post. Today, I prompted myself to make some changes and rewrite an abridged version.

Mukesh and his Composers – 46
Ramu to diwana hai (1970, 1980, 2001) was produced and directed by Chandru.
He wrote the lyrics as well as composed the songs in the film.
Further, the story, screenplay and dialogue were also by Chandru only.
Last but not the least, he also acted in it.
The confusion whether it was Chandru Atma or Chandru Hingorani continues though the latter seems confirmed.
The film titles display the name as only Chandru. There is a very clear snap of his with Raj Kapoor and his wife Krishna along with the actress of the film. And the caption also says Chandru only.
Anyway, this film started as a B/W movie in the 70s and continued to be made for a long time. It was probably censored in 2001 but never released. Some clips of the film including the titles roll are available on the net.
Mukesh sang two soulful solos and a very good duet with Suman Kalyanpur. Both the solos are represented on the blog and I bring forth the classy romantic number in this post.
1 and 2 in the table below give ample information about the making of the film and the stories behind the making.
| 1 | Khwaabon ki duniyaa sitaaron ki duniyaa |
| 2 | Maanga thha pyaar magar |
| 3 | Tu sabse haseen hai dilruba |
I am not giving the full details of the Mukesh songs in the film in the above table as all were written and composed by Chandru.
It seems this was his only film as a composer. I request knowledge readers to throw more light on Chandru if anything is available lately.
I had sought info about this film from late Shri Harish ji and I reproduce his response in as-is basis. Since he was not keeping well for a long time, he wrote in phrases, but it is amply clear that he had a lot of authentic information about films and especially anything to do with Mukesh.
Dear Maheshbhai
Ramu To Deewana Hai Banner : Razzamattazz
Actor, Lyricist, Music director : Chandru
Relative of Arjun Hingorani
There is long story behind this film
I am writing in 3-4 linesFilms shooting started around 1970 in B& W Before it completed colour films started. No value of B& W, So chandru started in B&W heroine changed. But it seems it was not completed
May be producer thought it was not up to the standard. Its songs LP came in the market
around 1980 but film was not sent for censorship. Though it was censored in 2001
it is not released till now
3 Songs of Mukesh recorded Two solo and one duet
Khwabon Ki Duniya………Mukesh
Tu sabse hasin hai……….Mukesh-Suman Kalyanpur
Meri duniyako..Maangaa thaa pyaar magar……Mukesh
Today’s beautiful duet was one of the few that I had brought out as unposted on the blog when I had covered the songs of Mukesh with Suman Kalyanpur.
Here is the link to that memorable post.
Today’s post also has a couple of video links sans the actors lip-syncing it. Hence, I am proposing the audio link only which is good enough to hear.
A beautiful duet with its sweetness amplified in the voices of Suman Kalyanpur and Mukesh.
Listen and enjoy to this duet which sounds so lively to this day.
Editor’s note:- The cast of the movie as available online is Chandru Hingorani, Deepa Rani, Yakub Sayeed, Phonsok, Manvendra Chitnis, Leela Chitnis, Chand Usmani, Janki Das, Shakeel, Toot, Rasool, Baby Ritu, Rehman, David, I.S. Johar, Gulshan Bawra, T L Desai, Padmini Kapila, Raj Kapoor etc. Video of this movie showing Chandru and Deepa Rani frolicking in a beach is available. Deepa Rani had played the role of a career conscious fiancee of Raj Kiran in the movie “Hip Hip Hurray”(1984).
Chandru Hingorani (brother of Arjun Hingorani) was an assistant of Raj Kapoor since 1950s.
This song was picturised on Chandru Hingorani and Deepa Rani.

Main geet kisee ke gaata hoon

Mukesh and his Co-Singers –16
I begin this very special post with a video of Asha Bhosale ji on her own youtube channel.
A short video wherein she speaks about her first 3 songs in Hindi Films.
I tried to trace the chronological accuracy of the songs enlisted in the video. What I found was that the films mentioned seem to be correct, but she has sung two songs in her second film and so her duet in Lekh (1949) could be her fourth and she mentions it as her third.
Sometime later, I will try to trace the exact chronology, but what matters for this post is her first duet in Hindi Films.
A duet with none other than Mukesh.
I request readers to watch the interesting video as Asha ji talks of her initial days in the industry.
I wish the video was fully on Mukesh, but then she digresses on some other topic.
Anyway, her first interaction with Mukesh is quite interesting and only reaffirms and confirms the godly title given to Mukesh, “a noble soul”.
As is evident from the video, Mukesh right from his initial days had no qualms on worldly pleasures and led a simple, honest and righteous life. No wonder the voice emanating from such a noble soul continues to enthral music lovers all over the world to this day.
Coming to this post, I call it special as it is my 100th Mukesh post on the blog.

Mukesh and his Composers – 45
Uncle Manohar Lal Sonik and nephew Om Prakash Sonik formed a composer-duo with the name Sonik-Omi and left behind some of the most memorable songs in HFM. However, in spite of their debut film Dil Ne Phir Yaad Kiya (1966) creating musical history and many other subsequent songs in other films becoming popular, their name and fame never reached the heights it ought to have.
Ishwar Bhakti (with Giridhar) (1951) and Mamta with Hansraj Behl (1952) were probably the two films wherein Sonik composed music without Omi.
Sonik experimented with singing and assisting other composers and later when Omi joined films, he too assisted other composers for some time.
Dil Hi Tho Hai (1963) under Roshan is probably the first film where they are credited as Assistant Music Directors as Sonik-Omi. In this film, B. L Rawal must have got to know the skills of the duo and in 1966 independently allotted them Dil Ne Phir Yaad Kiya (1966).

Clickbait?
Not really.
The above qawwali couplet from Barsaat ki Raat (1960) is quite viral these days. This post is however on the genius music director who composed the well-known qawwali.
Roshan Lal.
I have provided the qawwali link above, so that readers can enrich their knowledge regarding the origins and making of the popular number. There are many comments by knowledge readers in the article which give a lot of information.
And, as is my habit, here is a digression.

WISHING ALL READERS A WONDERFUL AND HAPPY NEW YEAR 2026, FULL OF JOY, SUCCESS, PEACE, HOPE, ENERGY AND GOOD HEALTH.
As discussed in the last post, the compilation of Mukesh-Asha Bhosale duets has started. But it may take some time as it not only involves preparing a long table of 50+ rows, but also to ensure that no songs are left out and the list is complete. As this is work in progress, I thought I would squeeze in a couple of more posts in the meanwhile instead of taking a long hiatus.
Also, I would like to make the Asha Bhosale post memorable for a special occasion. For that we will cross the bridge when we reach it.
