The Voice of Mukesh #18
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
The year of 1947 was the most prolific yet for Mukesh. Having started his singing career for Hindi films in 1941, in the six years from 1941 to 1946, he had sung a total of 21 songs in eleven films. Of these, seven are solos and fourteen are duets. As far as incremental score is concerned, the years 1945 and 1946 were very good in comparison to the years from 1941 to 1944.

Ah yes, a surprise it is. This post is being written, as I am at the home of Khyati ji, in Fountain Valley, California. I reached here just earlier in the evening today, and Khyati ji and her husband, Jagdish Bhai picked me up at the airport. Folks may remember from an earlier exchange, that we had some specific plans for ensuring that we recognize each other, when we would meet for the first time at the airport (since we have never met before). But these plans did not work out, as planned. 🙂 I was supposed to be wearing a black trench coat, felt hat, and dark glasses, and carrying a red rose in my hand. And Khyati ji was supposed to be dressed like. . . well, without any description, I refer to the photograph she had shared in email.

This delightful and endearing sound of a heart that is finding love for the first time, took me by surprise. And the song seems to be really rare, in that I am not able to locate any published version online so far.

Arshon pe sitaara hai wo

The articles on this song are written independently by Sadanand Kamath and Sudhir, fellow enthusiasts of Hindi movie music and regular contributors to this blog, and sent to me almost simultaneously. 🙂

Sadanand Kamath’s writeup

I had not heard the name of the film BEETE DIN (1947). What prompted me to know about this film was a song ‘arshon pe sitaara hai wo’ from this film which is sung by Mukesh and M A Rauf (Osmania), one of the two music directors in the film. The song’s composition is somewhat different than what one usually finds in most of Hindi film songs. There is no repetition of lines of mukhda in the antaras. The tune is more or less the same for both the mukhda and antaras.

We in this blog initially discussed just movie songs. Once I discussed a K L Saigal song and it turned out that it was a non film song (NFS). Several regulars of the blog then lobbied for the inclusion of NFS in the blog. And that is how NFS began to be discussed in the blog.
