After the success of “Ek Thhi ladki” (1949), a movie called “Ek Thha Ladka” (1951) got made too. “Ek Thha Ladka” (1951) was a Chitra Mahal Production. It was directed by R Sanware. The movie had Bharat Bhushan, Geeta Bali, Tiwari, Geeta Nizami, Nilopher, Kamal, Umesh Sharma, Jankidas etc in it.

I am sure the readers are kind of wary by now, of the delays and gaps between the posts that I am able to prepare and send to Atul ji for publication. Multiple reasons I can ascribe to this irregularity, but I depend on the indulgence of all of you, and the joys of uncertainties too.

roshan tumhin se duniya
raunak tumhin jahaan ki
salaamat raho

Greetings to Pyaarelal ji, the doyen of the living legends of Hindi film music, on his anniversary of birth on 3rd September. And along with this occasion, we also celebrate the 500th song of Laxmikant Pyaarelal to be posted on this blog (second only to Shankar Jaikishan among music directors, who have already crossed the 700 mark).

I was in school when the songs of this film hit the radio waves. The film apparently made almost no impact, for I did not register its name or other details ever. And it was only after joining Song-a-Day team, that I came to know about the details of this film, even its name. A while back I had posted one song from this film – “Ye Dil Nasheen Nazaare Karte Hain Kya Ishaare”, and that was when I searched for and found the details of this film. And it was then that I realized that three of the new favorites (referring to the time I was in school) are all from the same film ‘Pyaase Dil’ (1974). (Ah yes, Prakash ji, after reading your comment, I thought more wait is not good to get this third song in 🙂 ).

The Voice of Mukesh #28

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.

The next song in line for the year 1948 is from the film ‘Veena’. The film has a dozen lovely songs, all composed by Anil Biswas. For this film, Anil Biswas recorded three songs in the voice of Mukesh. One song from this film is already showcased here –“Wo Teekhi Nazron Se”. Here is the second Mukesh song from this film. The lyrics are written by Swami Ramanand.
