ye ilm kaa sauda, ye risaale, ye kitaaben
ek shaks ki yaadon ko bhulaane ke liye hain
—– Jaan Nisaar Akhtar
The meaning of the sher is that these exchange of knowledge, these journals, these books are meant to forget memories of a person. But I write this article for remembering today, Jaan Nisaar Akhtar on his 49th Remembrance Day. He was essentially a poet but circumstances forced him to write songs for films when an arrest warrant was issued against him in Bhopal being the follower of leftist ideology. He went underground eventually landing in Mumbai in 1949 leaving behind his wife and two small children. So, to manage the family, he started writing songs for Hindi films.
Syed Jaan Nisaar Hussain Rizvi (18/02/1914 – 19/08/1976), popularly known as Jaan Nissar Akhtar was born in Gwalior. His father, Muztar Khairabadi, a well-known Urdu poet was the Magistrate in the State of Gwalior. After completion of the matriculation from Gwalior, Jaan Nissar Akhtar joined Aligarh Muslim University and completed M.A. in Urdu. He returned to Gwalior and got a job as a lecturer in Victoria College. In 1943, he got married to Safia, sister of Urdu poet, Mazaj Lucknawi. In 1947, he shifted to Bhopal where he joined Hamidia College as Head of Urdu and Persian Department. In Bhopal, he joined the Progressive Writers’ Movement.

Mukesh and his Composers – 41
Today, 22 July is Mukesh’s birthday (22 July 1923 – 27 August 1976).
Much has been written on him in my various posts.
Hence, coming to the next part of this series, we take up the case of composer duo Sapan Sengupta and Jagmohan Bakshi known popularly as Sapan Jagmohan. They are so popular by this name that every time, one is compelled to ponder whether they are one or two people.

Mukesh and his Actors – 07
As we draw towards the last few HF songs of Mukesh, it is becoming increasingly difficult to trace his unposted songs on the blog.
Of late, I pick up an artist (actor, co-singer, composer) and start the rigorous search on the blog to see if all the respective songs are covered. In this exercise, I am also realizing that I have myself covered the artist in one of my series in the past. 😊
Of course, I am yet to cover Raj Kapoor, Lata, Asha, and three duo-composers for whom Mukesh sang songs aplenty. The issue with such artists is that I must spend considerable time preparing the lengthy tables. However, they are quite important, and I will try to take up these marathon posts shortly. I am even contemplating breaking the songs decade-wise so that it is easy for me to cover them. Let me see what best can be done.

Mukesh and his Composers – 40
Coming to next part of this series, we take up the case of composer Shreekant Telang for whom Mukesh again has a solitary song. The film is “Santoshi Maa Ki Mahima” whose records were released in 1975, but for some unknown reason the film itself was released in 1981 with an altered name “Sampoorna Santoshi Maa Ki Mahima”.
With some difficulty, I was able to trace the movie and here it is. However, it is sans any songs. The titles are available, and thus we are able to confirm the film since the singers, composers and lyricist are known.

Mukesh and his Actors – 06
Navin Nischol was amongst the new breed of actors to grace the silver screen from the early 70’s. He made his debut with the film Sawan Bhadon (1970) in which he was paired with none other than Rekha who was also making her debut in Hindi films.
His popular films and even more popular songs are well known. Without going into the details of his films and his successful foray into television media, I direct readers to his wiki page where ample details are provided.
In this post, we shall deal with Mukesh’s playback for Navin Nischol. There are only 3 films in which Mukesh sang a total of 5 songs for him. Here is the table of their collaboration.

Mukesh and his Composers – 39
Coming to the next part of this series, I take up a solo song by Mukesh from the film Parmatma released in 1978. It was directed by Chand and had Shatrughan Sinha, Rekha, Pradeep Kumar, Aruna Irani, Ranjeet, Dev Kumar, Jagdish Raj, Chand Usmani, Helen and others in the cast. The music was by K. Babuji and lyrics by Indeevar.
Again, not much information is available on the music director K. Babuji. It appears Mukesh has sung only one song for him.

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).
