Mukesh and his Composers – 44
Basant Prakash was the younger brother of famed composer Khemchand Prakash.
While Khemchand Prakash became immortal due to the popularity of songs in Mahal (1949) and among the pioneers of HFM, Basant Prakash is hardly remembered despite composing about a dozen films albeit a few were with other composers.
Whenever Basant Prakash’s name is taken, mention of his short stint with the famous movie Anarkali (1953) is inevitable. It is said that Filmistan’s S. Mukherji first approached C. Ramchandra to compose the film’s music. C. Ramchandra insisted on all songs to be sung by Lata Mangeshkar. Since Geeta Roy was the preferred singer for the producer, Basant Prakash was approached who started work on the film.

Films with the title “Hum Ek Hai” were released in different years.
Suffice to say Hum Ek Hain, lekin same title anek hai.
Well, this post of mine had tried to sort out the confusion arising out of this same title released in different years and with different cast and composers. I had elaborated on the standalone patriotic song produced by Govt of India’s Films Division which also had the same title.

Mukesh and his NFS – 13
More than a decade back, 27 August 2015, to be precise, I had a written a special post on the Remembrance Day of Mukesh.
It was special in the sense that it dealt with the composing career of Mukesh in my series Mukesh and his Composers.

Mukesh and his NFS – 12
Mukesh had an excellent rapport and good association with composer Khaiyyam. He sang about 18 filmi and 10 NFS.
I have mentioned and enlisted all these 28 songs in my earlier posts. They can be found here and here.

Mukesh and his NFS – 10
Chaand si chamkti raaton mein,
Aaya na koi wada kar ke
I present yet another NFS whose composer is not known.
The first three words of the song will surely take back readers to the well-known song from Sautan ki Beti (1989). But that is where the similarity ends for today’s song seems to be from early fifties and by an entirely different lyricist, the well-known Anjum Jaipuri.

Mukesh and his NFS – 09
In the aftermath of Mahatma Gandhi’s assassination, the team of composers Hunslal-Bhagatram, lyricist Rajendra Krishna and singer Mohd. Rafi created a marathon NFS overnight. The song was over 12 minutes long and was made into 4 parts probably to fit on the 78-rpm record disc. The song was an instant hit all over the country.
On the blog, this song was represented way back in 2012 and here is the link.
During the same period, Mukesh also recorded a song on the situation and circumstances.

Mukesh and his NFS – 08
Dreams are but dreams; what’s the reality in them.
This is in continuation of my post Mukesh and his Composers – 42 wherein Vipin Mehra was featured. I am unable to find more details on the composer than what I have mentioned in the post.
As such, I would like to cover one more NFS composed by Vipin Mehra so that the third and last song will remain to be covered.

Mukesh and his NFS – 07
“Baat adhoori rahe gayi uss din”
In today’s post, we cover yet another music director who never got any filmi songs sung by Mukesh but composed two melodious NFS.
The composer is Jag Phool Kaushik, better known as JP Kaushik. He is also mostly known as the composer of Amitabh Bachchan’s debut movie Saat Hindustani (1969).

Mukesh and his NFS – 06
I was in a bit of dilemma, whether to include this post under Composers or NFS series.
I settled for NFS because Mukesh strangely has no film songs for the composer but has 4 NFS. We are talking about composer Iqbal.
Well, it is easy to jump to conclusion that it is Iqbal Qureshi. However, Iqbal and Iqbal Qureshi are two entirely different composers working almost during the same period.
