The Voice of Mukesh #58
– – – – – – – – – – – – – –
Yes, I return to 1948 again today. A song that has been pending, for want of being located. And now I have it. The film is ‘Chaand Sitaare’. And lo, what a gem of a song has been discovered. Every time such a thing happens, i.e. coming across an unheard and a very obscure gem, there is such a feeling of exhilaration on the discovery. And also, the reassurance that there still are many such songs waiting out there in what we call the ocean of Hindi film music, all waiting for someone to pick them up and bring up to the surface and to the attention of the listeners. Oh yes, I am sure many people with a long association with this love of Hindi film music would have heard of this and other such lost gems. But getting to it and finding out that it is now available online, gives such a sense of accomplishment.

Most artists are typecast – very strictly, very narrowly, and sometimes one would say, very harshly too. The first level of typecasting is basic and is based on the chosen field of performance. Artists are lyricists, writers, music directors, actors, singers, directors etc. This level of categorization is natural and acceptable. Almost always, an artist will
focus on his or her chosen field of specialization. And that is where majority of them remain confined for a majority of the time of their careers.

A most versatile character actor. Well, not completely feasible, given his short stature and a thin voice. And yet, he has successfully played a variety of roles on the screen that cover the spectrum from very negative to the very positive. A face that always carries a perennial melancholia seeped into his poignant eyes. The lasting sad elder of the Hindi film screen – Manmohan Krishan.

This article is the 9500th song post in the blog.
OK, so it is 9500 today. Goodness, the Doppler effect that I discussed, oh just three short weeks ago, seems to be working just as told. The actual pace of posting songs is fairly normal and consistent. And yet, it seems we are speeding up, and will be reaching the magic number, faster than we thought we would get there.

(Note: It is a little strange to start an article with a Note. 🙂 But I felt it is necessary. This series has seen a lot of delays and long gaps between individual episodes. All of it is my own doing. Partly it is availability of time, and partly it is the writing about the subject itself.

“Mera Dil Jal Rahaa Hai” – a dialogue that is delivered with a measured viciousness, with lancet eyes looking daggers at you, lips pinched and nose screwed, with both hands half raised in a dismissive directive to all and sundry – an utterance of extreme frustration and deepest contempt. This expression and this articulation, is a signature hallmark of the one and only comical-vampish-diabolical mother-in-law cum scheming aunt or sister. Yes, the one and only in her class in the Hindi film world – Erin Issac Daniels.

Poets as singers may not be an uncommon expectation. Poets are known for their singing prowess in mushairas and in kavi sammelans. They are expected to present their verses in ‘tarrannum’. However, not many have ventured into singing in the films. It is quite strange, because they are the one’s who best know the words, their intent, and their meaning. They also have a fair idea about an underlying melody that hides behind the meter and rhyme that they have created. Lyricist DN Madhok was famous for providing a basic ‘dhun’ to the music directors, for every song he wrote. But still, one does not find many singing in the films in their own voice.
