The Voice of Mukesh #55

As I am searching for Mukesh songs, I am finding more songs by him that are not listed in the Geet Kosh and in Mukesh Geet Kosh as songs sung by Mukesh. I am also thankful to Harish ji Raghuvanshi, for his guidance and prompt responses with new and additional information on this subject.

One category of rare performances is when one sees a mainline actor, not recognized as a singer, singing playback for self. There is a smattering of such examples in the history of Hindi films. Some well known examples are,

The Voice of Mukesh #54
– – – – – – – – – – – – – –
As we are getting close to the end of list for the Mukesh songs for 1950, the songs are increasingly becoming difficult to trace. Today’s song I have been able to locate in my own collection, and am posting it online, for the first time today. The film is an obscure one, titled ‘Raaj Mukut’. The film is a production from Mohan Pictures, Bombay and is directed by Nanubhai Vakil. The film has an impressive star cast that includes Nimmi, Veena, Jairaj, Ram Singh, Sapru, Mishra, Gulab, Ramesh Sinha, Ramesh Thakur, Jankidas, Baby Tabassum.

The best memory I have of this artist is the visual from ‘Araadhna’ (1969), sitting in the driver seat, looking crisp and dapper in a suit and matching cap, driving single handedly and playing mouth organ with the free hand, maneuvering the vehicle so that it keeps pace with the small toy train as it wounds its way on the hilly trek to Darjeeling, thus enabling a free hand to Rajesh Khanna to perform his gymnastics in the open top vehicle, as he belts out the now iconic “Mere Sapnon Ki Rani Kab Aayegi Tu”, serenading a coy Sharmila Tagore sitting in a window seat of the train, hiding her face behind Alistair MacLean’s novel, ‘When Eight Bells Toll’, but also peeking from the edges of the book that she is obviously not reading.

The Voice of Mukesh #53

As more and more people are uploading rare songs online, there are few occasions when a songs surfaces whose details and sometimes even its existence is not known earlier. The Hindi Film Geet Kosh by Harmandir ji, and the Mukesh Geet Kosh by Harish Raghuvanshi ji, are the standard references that we always turn to, when we need information about Hindi films and film songs. Sometimes, these new uploads actually provide completely new details that have been missing or incorrectly documented earlier.

It seems to me that we just did the century milestone. I simply turn around, had just taken one breath, and there is Atul ji’s message that we are on to the next century stone. Wo, I say to myself, this is not right. But then I check, and it is. 9400, OMG.

Suron ki malika – Suraiya.
——————————–
There is no better epithet that so appropriately suits this princess of musical notes. A princess who has also been called the Cindrella of Hindi cinema. A possessor of remarkable beauty, a talent that oozes with the formal ‘adaayagi’ of the north Indian urdu ‘tehzeeb’, and a voice that casts a magic spell difficult to snap out of, Suraiya is the fulfillment of the feminine essence of the quintessential heroine of the silver screen. But despite being what she was, she was destined to remain a Cindrella, forever waiting for a companion, for her knight on a white horse. Thirty four is an age when most other artists are still on the rise in their careers, getting into their prime time. But for her, thirty four was the age when she retired from the industry, to spend the remaining four decades of her life in relative anonymity and reclusion.

Suchitra Sen – Passing of a Legend
————————————–
The one thing that always fascinates me about her, is her eyes. In all the Hindi films that I have seen, and a couple of her Bangla films, the memory that stays in the mind is that of a very beautiful face, adorned with the loveliest of eyes that I can remember. Large, round, full of expressions of life. It is as if the term doe-eyed was coined just for her.

Aah, the wonderful sound of sweetness. The delightful voice that has rendered one of the sweetest Marathi bhajans – “Keshava, Madhava, Tuzhya Naamat Re Godava” – O My Dear Lord Keshava, Your name is sweetness itself.
Greetings and best wishes to Suman Kalyanpur ji, on her birth anniversary (28th January).

A team effort that would simply be unparalleled anywhere in the annals of film and film music journalism and internet publication.
