The one thought that comes to mind always, when this name is mentioned,

“. . . ke dil abhi bharaa nahin”.

Remembering Jaidev on the anniversary of his passing away (6th January).

The Voice of Mukesh #52
– – – – – – – – – – – – – –

Ah, the fiftieth song in this series. We are continuing to track the progress of Mukesh as a singer across the years of his career. And today we reach the 50th post in this journey starting from 1941.

And the number got me thinking – we need something special for the occasion.

The Voice of Mukesh #51
– – – – – – – – – – – – –

The year 1950 saw the release of 36 songs by Mukesh, from 16 films. (This information is as per the Mukesh Geet Kosh). Of these, we already have 28 songs posted here on this blog. This is the 29th Mukesh song from the year 1950. I am continuing the search for the rest. I have been able to locate five more songs, but two songs are still eluding me. One song is from the film ‘Bebas’ – a solo song “Do Dil Hon Do Dilon Ko Ulfat Ka Sahara Ho”. The second song is from the film ‘Preet Ka Geet’ – a group song along with Zohrabai and Geeta Dutt, “Paayal Bole Re”. I request friends and readers on this blog to kindly share any information about the availability of these songs.

Rare Performances – Things Unique and Unexpected #2

– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

One aspect of the unexpected interludes on the Hindi film screen are the occasions when one gets to see songs performed on screen by the most unexpected actors. One does always expect the lead pair or pairs and occasionally the side heroes and side heroines to be performing songs of all types on screen. Of course the main comedy players are almost always expected to be performing songs of all types on screen. If you see the name Mehmood or Johnny Walker or IS Johar or even Jagdeep in the credits, one can be almost certain the film will have some song by them. This has been true for these actors, even during their senior years – one can see Johnny Walker in ‘Shaan’ (1980) joining the group song “Yamma Yammaa. . . Ye Khoobsurat Samaa”.

The Voice of Mukesh #50
– – – – – – – – – – – – –
Continuing with the exploration of Mukesh’s songs, we are now traversing the year 1950. Today I present a very soothing bhajan from the film ‘Ram Darshan’. A very softly and simply sung bhajan, that takes on a very emotional colour, being rendered in the soulful voice of Mukesh.

The Voice of Mukesh #49
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
‘Hanste Aansoo’ is a film from 1950 that has some wonderful songs by Mukesh. The film has a total of eleven songs, out of which five carry the voice of Mukesh. One song is solo, three are duets with different singers, and one is a group song which is rendered like a qawwaali. Of these, two songs viz., the Mukesh solo – “Qismat Mein Yehi Likha Thaa” and his duet with Rajkumari –“Maine Sapna Jo Dekha Hai Raat” are already posted here. I present today the third Mukesh song from this film, the qawwaali in which Mukesh is accompanied by the voices of Shamshad Begum and Mohammed Rafi.

The Voice of Mukesh #48

Gosh, it simply does not cease. I mean the surprise in coming across absolutely lovely gems, from films one would least expect to. Here is the next Mukesh song from 1950. The film is ‘Hamaari Beti’. Produced and directed by Shobhana Samarth under the banner of Shobhana Pictures, this film was intended to be the launch vehicle for her daughter, Nutan.

Countdown is in progress, and we are slowly inching forward to the magic milestone.

Merry Christmas and a Happy 9200th post, to all readers and friends.

By the current accepted rate of comfort, we should be making it sometimes in April time frame. Gosh, the built up for an exciting interlude is now setting in.
