Today’s song is from a much less known film – Aai Bahar-1946.

1946 was an important year in the history of Hindi films. This was the period when the impending Independence of India was on the Anvil and everyone knew that in the year 1947 it would take place. At the same time when the country was to be divided on the basis of Religion and another muslim country Pakistan was to come into existence. Many of the muslims in the film industry were excitedly awaiting their departure from India to the Utopia. This would, naturally, create a lot of vacancies in every department of film making. However, there was enough talent available in the remaining India to fill up the void. Hence from the year 1946 itself there were several debutantes. This made the year 1946 an year of Debuts of several new actors, directors, MDs, Lyricists etc etc.

Today 28th September 2025 is the 96th Birth Anniversary of the Nightingale of India Lata Mangeshkar. So here’s a rare song to celebrate this happy day.

Mukesh and His Composers – 33

Singer and composer Narayan Dutt is a victim of same-name confusion where he is always mistaken for the more famous N Datta. The confusion further escalates with Datt, Dutta etc. being used for both composers. The career of Narayan Dutt has already been written by our Arunkumar ji in his posts for the songs “Dagmag Dagmag Doley Naiya” (film ‘Jogan’, 1950) and “Gupchup Un Sang Ho Gayin Akhiyaan Chaar Re” (film ‘Mordhwaj’, 1952)

Mukesh and His Composers – 32

We continue the series with composer Vishnu Khanna. He seems to have composed music for only two films. Both these films have been introduced on the blog with one song each as follows.

  1. Poorab Chaloge Chaloongi, Paschim Chaloge Chaloongi – Patni (1970), a solo by Suman Kalayanpur which has been covered by Sudhir ji
  2. Kaisi Shaam Suhaani Aayi Re – Pasand Apni Apni (1972), a solo by Rafi saab covered by Satyajit Rajurkar ji

The composer continues to remain obscure. No information seems to be available on him other than what is already known.

In my last article, I had discussed Basu Chatterjee’s film, ‘Gudgudee’ (1997) which was inspired from a Hollywood film, ‘The Seven Year Itch’ (1955). In this article, I have taken up for discussion yet another film of Basu Chatterjee which was inspired from a Hollywood film, ‘The Fortune Cookie’ (1966). The film is ‘Laakhon Ki Baat’ (1984). The film was produced and directed by Basu Chatterjee. The star cast included Sanjeev Kumar, Farooq Shaikh, Anita Raj, Anjali Sen, Utpal Dutt, Pinchoo Kapoor, Dinesh Hingoo, Subbiraj, Javed Khan, Bhagwan Sinha etc. Neither the name of the storywriter nor the acknowledgement of the inspiration for the film was mentioned in the credit titles of film.
