Non-Film Songs of Mukesh – 03

Today, 22 July 2023 marks the birth centenary day of Mukesh Chand Mathur who was born in Delhi a hundred years ago.

His wiki page gives a fair information of his life and 36 years of film career which as we are all aware is mainly as a playback singer. In the initial part of his career he also acted, produced, and composed. However, his role as a playback singer put him high up on a pedestal as one of the greatest singers of all times. A singer whose very name brings to fond memories some of the exceptional songs that he rendered. A voice which touched the inner chords of human soul. A voice which we can easily associate and link to our daily lives. For sincerity, dedication and total submission to singing is what his voice is all about. Almost every song of his is a bhajan in my view as the voice was beyond the materialistic world and has one or the other facet of life covered. My song for this special post which we shall come up a bit later is a testimony to this view.

Blog 10-Year Challenge (2013-2023) – Song No. 31
————————————————————————————–

On this date ten years back viz on 2 March 2013, four songs from four different movies (plus one NFS) were covered in the blog. Here are the details:-

Blog post number Song Movie (Year) Remarks
7585 Aseer e gham ka bhala phir kahaan thhikaana thha Kamla Jharia NFS(1934)
7586 O paagal premi Saudaamini (1950) 7 songs covered out of 9 by now
7587 Main hoon kali matwaali Panghat(1943) 6 songs covered out of 12 by now
7588 Mausam hai bada mastaana Tarzan aur Hercules(1966) One song covered out of 5 by now
7588 Ae chaand ki zebaayi Chhoti Si Mulaaqaat (1967) Movie YIPPEED by now

We can see that one NFS and four film songs (from four different movies) were covered on this date ten years ago (on 2 March 2013). One movie (out of four) whose songs were covered on that day has since been YIPPEED in the blog. So three of those movies are eligible for Blog Ten Year Challenge today (2 March 2023).

Mukesh and his Co-Singers –9
———————————————-

Let me begin this post with a disclaimer to make it more interesting.

If you are reading this post, it means the editors have gratefully accepted my take on the subject and for the inclusion of this NFS in the above quoted series.

The series Mukesh and his co-singers had begun with Mukesh’s association with Rafi saab. Thereafter, I have covered a total of 4 each male and female co-singers. Amongst male singers apart from Rafi saab, Talat Mehmood, Kishore Kumar and Manna Dey have been covered.
A very important name missing amongst male singers was of course Mahendra Kapoor who not only has some good number of songs with Mukesh, but also had a close and friendly relationship with him. The obvious reason for the delay of this post was the fact that all of the known 12 songs in which they collaborated had already been covered on the blog.

Today we celebrate a combined anniversary of two singers. Two singers who were contemporary, two singers who were very good friends, two singers whose voices were considered almost similar. It is the birth anniversary of Geeta Dutt (nee Roy), and the remembrance day of Meena Kapoor.

The years 1980s and 90s were the golden period of TV serials which used to be telecast on National Doordarshan Channel.  The TV Serials of these period might have been lacking in technical specs as compared with that of the current TV serials. But what made these Doordarshan serials very popular was that they were mostly based on down to earth story lines, the good directions, the good performances of the lead and supporting actors and above all the absence of the present TRP dominated TV industry. These factors have made the TV serials of yore unforgettable for most of the the viewers including me. And the proof is that most of these serials had repeat telecasts on a number of times keeping in view the response from the viewers.

Greetings to all the readers of the Blog on the occasion of आजादी का अमृत महोत्सव on the 75th Year of Independence of India today, August 15, 2022. Independence Day is the reminder to all of us about the sacrifices a large number of Indians made during the freedom struggle to achieve independence on August 15, 1947. Thanks to the history books, the present generation is aware of the sacrifices for the independence struggle, made by Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, Lala Lajpat Rai, Lokmanya Bal Gangadhar Tilak, Bipin Chandra Pal, Shaheed Bhagat Singh, Chandra Shekhar Azad and many more. But lets us not forget to remember hundreds of other freedom fighters whose sacrifices, by and large, remained in anonymity. One such name which I came to know recently was that of Vidyadhari Bai, a tawaif (courtesan) who, apart from composing and singing patriotic songs in her musical performances, she also provided financial and logistic support to freedom fighters.

Today’s song is a Non Film Song (NFS), sung by Jagmohan Bakshi.

In the field of NFS (Non-Film Song), most people know about Jagmohan Sursagar but very few would know about Jagmohan Bakshi. At Least I have come across only this NFS song by Bakshi so far and that too thanks to record collector Zafar Bhai who has uploaded this song. Music lovers, by now, know Zafar Bhai as one who has been uploading some rare songs from obscure and famous films, as well as a few NFS too. We, in ASAD, know him as a friend of our friend Sudhir ji.

Today’s song is a special song. It is special because it is sung by an almost unimaginable actor who was a famous villain and we could never imagine that he would have sung a solo song and a record was brought out for that song ! But then life is like that only. It has routinely presented surprises, shocks, puzzles and inconceivable situations. That’s why LIFE is interesting ! Speaking about show business, it is all the more pertinent. There are umpteen number of cases where men became actors when it was not planned and from actors they went into something totally different, unconnected activity. Let us see some examples.
