And so wrote the scribe – “Yaadon Ka Sahaara Na Hota, Hum Chhod Ke Duniya Chal Dete” .
Thirty seven years to date. The life and the world has moved on, as it always does. It is the everyday drudgery and the process of existence, that makes life continue with what it is. But it is the memories of the sounds of dear ones that make life beautiful, and livable. Memories, that are frozen in time, for they are past and will never be alive and here again today. And yet, these memories live, in the minds, in remembrances, and in the sounds captured in technology. Ah yes, it is these sounds that make is possible to exist, with the drudgery of everyday existence.

O what a gem this song is. I tracked this song as part of this series, and heard it for the first time recently. Probably the most beautiful song with the theme of ‘Mere Sapnon Ki Raani’. There is the iconic ‘Mere Sapnon Ki
Raani, Roohi Roohi Roohi’ song from the film ‘Shahjehaan’ (1946), sung by Saigal Sb. After 39 years came another song that took the country by storm –“Mere Sapnon Ki Rani Kab Aayegi Tu”(‘Aradhana’, 1969). In between and thereafter, there are a few other songs with this theme, none so notable as these. And then we have this song in 1948, a rendering by Mukesh, in my opinion, which is simply the best of the lot.

Mukesh, a name synonymous with the sounds of the soul, a name the evokes memories of music that wouldn’t have been possible, but for him, a name that sits so simply and comfortably within the strands and threads of a thousand songs that have been blessed with the touch of this expressive and poignant voice. Songs, that may otherwise have been relegated to anonymity and obscurity, had they not been sung by this vocalist of Gods.

Though “Shaitaan Mujrim” (1980) is a movie of recent vintage by the standards of this blog, little information is available about this movie. From the title, it appears to be a C grade horror movie of the kind that generally struggled to get released and failed miserably at the box office. It appears that this movie had Rakesh Khanna, Jyoti Matwankar, Dev Kumar, Raza Murad, Mohan Choti, Madan Puri, Seema Kapoor etc in it.
