Mukesh and his Composers – 38

Ek raat mein do do chaand khile
ek ghoonghat mein ek badli mein

Who has not heard this lovely romantic duet featuring Nanda and Anant Marathe?

The poet talks about a moon in the ghoonghat and another amongst the clouds. Nanda with her reticent and infectious crescent moon smile is all over the song.

Have I written about Nanda? Well, maybe just a comment here and there.

Many of her songs come to mind instantly but that will have to wait for another day to see if I can pull off a post on her career.

Coming to the topic in hand, today we shall see the collaboration of Mukesh with famed composer Chitragupt aka “King of Duets”.

Mukesh and his Composers – 36

Today, we shall take up the case of a rather unknown music director, Prem Kumar.
He has a solitary unreleased film to his credit. Only two solo songs are available in the voice of Mukesh and Mahendra Kapoor.

The film name is Paisa aur Zindagi which was in the making circa 1973. Not many details are available of any the cast of this film. Myswar has whatever details are available of this unreleased film.

Mukesh and his Composers – 35

Who was the first woman music director in Indian films?

Well, to the unversed but having some intertest in HFM, Usha Khanna’s name would crop up in the mind. To the more learned ones, Saraswati Devi would be the answer. To experts, it would be Jaddanbai, the mother of legendary actress Nargis.

However, the credit goes to Ishrat Sultana aka Bibbo, who was the composer of Adl-e-Jahangir released in 1934. Jaddan Bai’s score for Talash-e-Haq was a year later in 1935.

Mukesh and his Composers – 34

Do Badan (1966) song “Raha gardishon mein hardam” was first recorded in the voice of Mukesh for Ghunghat (1960), which belonged to the production house of Gemini Studios.
The producer S. S Vasan felt that the song was not aligning with the flow of the film and he recommended its exclusion.

Six years later, composer Ravi took permission from S. S Vasan and included the song in the film Do Badan, in the voice of Rafi. Of course, the said song as well as all others in Do Badan (1966) did become quite popular. But sadly, the unused Mukesh version is probably lost forever. According to some sources, composer Ravi was said to be in possession of the spool recording of this unused Mukesh song, but unfortunately, it was lost in the Mumbai floods of 2005. Thus, the only place where there is a remote possibility of this song being traced is Gemini Studios, the production house of Ghunghat (1960).

Mukesh and his Actors – 05
——————————————–

In my previous post, I had let the cat out of the bag by revealing the next actor’s name in this series.

Well, Mukesh has sung some 19-20 odd songs for Shashi Kapoor. The number is seemingly quite less, but that’s the story of Mukesh for most of his contemporary actors for whom he gave playback.

Mukesh and his Actors – 03
———————————————

It was 1967, nearly 3 decades since Mukesh started singing in HFM. Yet, his mettle was again put to test. The film was Milan (1967) for which the production house of L. V. Prasad, decided to rope in emerging composer duo Laxmikant Pyarelal (LP). This was in spite of their successful association with Shankar Jaikishan for Chhoti Bahen (1959), Sasural (1961), Hamrahi (1963), Beti Bete (1964) etc.

Mukesh and His Composers – 33

Singer and composer Narayan Dutt is a victim of same-name confusion where he is always mistaken for the more famous N Datta. The confusion further escalates with Datt, Dutta etc. being used for both composers. The career of Narayan Dutt has already been written by our Arunkumar ji in his posts for the songs “Dagmag Dagmag Doley Naiya” (film ‘Jogan’, 1950) and “Gupchup Un Sang Ho Gayin Akhiyaan Chaar Re” (film ‘Mordhwaj’, 1952)

Mukesh and His Composers – 32

We continue the series with composer Vishnu Khanna. He seems to have composed music for only two films. Both these films have been introduced on the blog with one song each as follows.

  1. Poorab Chaloge Chaloongi, Paschim Chaloge Chaloongi – Patni (1970), a solo by Suman Kalayanpur which has been covered by Sudhir ji
  2. Kaisi Shaam Suhaani Aayi Re – Pasand Apni Apni (1972), a solo by Rafi saab covered by Satyajit Rajurkar ji

The composer continues to remain obscure. No information seems to be available on him other than what is already known.

Non-Film Songs of Mukesh – 04
————————————————
A hat-trick of short songs and shorter posts.

For Mukesh’s Remembrance Day on 27 August 24, due to paucity of time, I had sent this short song from Sangam (1964).

Then, I happened to stumble upon another rare rendition by Mukesh from the film Duniya Na Maane (1959).
