This song is a well known song and I believed that this song was already covered in the blog but I discover that I was wrong. That way, this song belongs to the popular category of the blog, viz “What ! This song was not yet posted !” category. 🙂

I have mentioned in the past that most movie songs that we get to listen to are from movies that were released. But there are cases when a movie fails to get released but a few of its songs get released and some of them even become popular.
Then there are some cases when the movie as well as the songs remain unreleased for decades, before someone decided to release the audio of the songs from the still unreleased movie.

“Aarambh” (1976) is a recent movie by the standards of this movie which swas released at a time when I was at my precocious best as a follower of Hindi movies, but even I failed to notice anything about this movie at that time. So this movie must have been a big failure at the box office. This movie had a “star” cast of names like Rakesh pandey, Rama Vij, Kishore Kapoor, Vipin Gupta. These names did not ring any bells those days nor do they ring any bells today. In other words, movie with “star” cast was doomed to fail.

Continuing with the series of delightful but rare songs from Mukesh. This offering is a lovely heartfelt melody from an unreleased and obscure film from 1964, ‘Bhool Na Jaanaa’. The songs, that have thankfully not been lost, are a wonderful treat, and the credit goes to Daan Singh, who is the composer for this film. Practically all the songs of this film are gems of the first water, something that speaks to the unsung talent of this great musician from Jaipur. There are seven songs available from this unreleased film, three of which are already discussed on this blog, viz. “Mere Humnasheen Mere Humnawaan” sung by Geeta Dutt, “Gora Gora Mukhdaa Ye Tu Ne Kahaan Paayaa Hai” sung by Mukesh, and “Gham e Dil Kis Se Kahoon” also by Mukesh. The earlier posts include brief write ups about the circumstances of this film, and how it got shelved. A film about the 1962 war with China, it got entangled with the changed government policy in 1964-65 to not depict anything negative about China. And Daan Singh, a very talented musician, was branded unlucky with his very first venture itself.

There are circumstances due to which films are abandoned midway during production. There are also cases where films have been completed, but once again due to some reasons, they do not get released. Many such films are lost to oblivion, and with them, also lost is the music that was created for them. The examples may be not many, but still it is not uncommon that such films and music from such films exists. For some such films, good fortune has prevailed and their music has become available over time, either officially released even though the film never saw the light of the silver screen, or unofficially put out into the gray market or on the internet.

Continuing with the series of posts about rare Mukesh gems, here is a wonderful solo song from the film Hum Matwaale Naujawaan (1961). This film is a social drama, produced under the banner of Rover Films, Bombay and directed by LR Asthaana. The star cast includes Shekhar, Saeeda Khan, Jeevan, Agha, Lillian, Mirza Musharraf, Chaman Puri, Gopal Sehgal, Tun Tun, Indira Bansal, Kammo Tripathi, Ravikant, Baby Farida etc. The film was not any major success at the box office, but it did leave its mark. Its music and songs are really very good – a typical grade A quality of music for a B/C grade film. The lyrics are Majrooh Sultanpuri and the music composition is by Chitragupt. This song is a lovely melody, that has been wonderfully rendered by Mukesh.
