“Door Koi Gaaye. . .”
The voice of these words has now gone away very far from us, to probably sing at and regale the ‘mehfils’ in heavens.

“Jungle Princess” (1942) was a Wadia Movietone Production. This movie had Nadia playing a female version of Tarzan. Unlike Tarzan, who gets raised by monkeys, here Nadia (playing Mala) is raised by Lions, no less. :). She has two lion cubs as her companions at childhood and then all three grow up. Watching a grown up Nadia flanked by two grown up lions is a great sight to behold. Our beloved Memsaab has written a wonderful review of this movie here and I keep revisiting this page every time I have to discuss a song from this movie.

The Voice of Mukesh #15
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
With the previous post in this series, we stepped into Mukesh’s world of 1947. His popularity and demand continued to increase. In this year, he has recorded 20 songs for nine films. Compare this with 7 songs for five films in 1946. We do recall that 1945 was good year for him, as he struck a chord of good fortune and popularity with the iconic song “Dil Jalta Hai To Jalne De”, and had recorded 8 songs for three films, seven of them for ‘Pehli Nazar’ and ‘Moorti’. So, after a slow year in 1946, Mukesh seems to be coming into his own in 1947.

Ae ri main to prem deewaani

When I saw the lyrics of this song from “Jogan” (1950), I thought that this song was discussed long back, but when I checked the list of songs of “Jogan” (1950) appearing in the blog, this song was missing much to my surprise. Then I realised that the song that I was confusing it with was the song Ae ri main to prem deewaani mera dard na jaane koye from “Naubahaar” (1952).
