I have listened to this song many a times, and I liked this song very much. Not only I knew that this song was sung by Mukesh, I was also aware that the movie was called “Raaste ka patthar”.

Hum chhod chale hain mehfil ko

The hero Joy Mukherjee is leaving his home for ever, and certainly there has got to be some major reason behind this drastic step. His wife appears suitably chastened, repentent, etc, but that is too little too late,the decision has been taken and there is no going back.

Singer is Mukesh, lyricist is Shailendra and composers are Shankar Jaikishan. One may be forgiven to think that it must be a song picturised on Raj Kapoor. But no, this is a song from “Hariyali aur Raasta”, a movie featuring Manoj Kumar.

Listening to this Mukesh song all these years without any additional information, I thought that this song had all the attributes of a Raj kapoor song. It was sung by Mukesh, lyrics looked Shailendra like and music appeared Shankar Jaikishan like, and I was sure that the song was picturised on Raj Kapoor.

I have already posted one memorable nostalgic song from this movie sung by Mukesh and picturised on Dharmendra.
This movie was in fact full of memorable songs. Quite a few of such songs were sung by Mukesh for Dharmendra. Here is another such memorable song.

Barkha rani zara jam ke barso

There are different songs for different times and moods. When it is time for rains, it is time for love to blossom in Bollywood. That way, I have always felt that the Valentine day (and season) in Bollywood is not in the spring season, but in the rainy season.

Ae baadal jhoom ke chal

Here is a Mukesh song with a difference. Yes, it is not a sad song. It is a happy song.
This song is from a by now forgotten movie called “Naadaan” (1971) and it was picturised on Navin Nischol. This song was reasonably popular at that time. But as I have repeatedly mentioned, 1971 was the year of bumper crop of outstanding songs, and many nice songs found themselves edged out in popularity stakes. In other less competitive times, the same songs would have fared much better.

This song from “Holi Aayi re” appeared as a solo as well as a duet in the movie. The solo song sung by Mukesh is the one that became more popular and I too like the solo song more.
Mukesh, as usual, paints a vivid picture of the feelings that the lyrics of indeewar seek to convey. The way his voice can almost make you enter the mind of the character and visualise what is going through there is simply amazing. There were those who said that Mukesh was classically not trained, but such people miss the real fact. The fact is, Mukesh’s ability to express different feelings in all their nuances was simply awesome and that was the reason why majority of his songs struck a chord with the listeners.

Here is a Mukesh song from a 1971 movie called Upaasna. This song has Mukesh singing for Feroz Khan. The situation is that Feroz Khan has nursed Mumtaz back to health but he laments the fact that Mumtaz, earlier confined to wheel chair and now back on her feet, failed to notice Feroz Khan’s true feelings for her.
How does a male express his feelings to a lady of his dreams. The modern method is just to say “I love you” and be done with it. But that was not the way in Bollywood movies those days. Well, in bollywood movies those days, beating about the bush was often the way to convey one’s feelings to the lady of one’s dreams. Directly saying “I love you” was considered too crude and unsophisticated in those days. 300 words and 4 minutes were used to say what could have been said in 3 words and 3 seconds.
