Mukesh and his NFS – 15

At the outset, as I post the last of the 4 available private songs (out of 6) which Mukesh sang in Delhi in 1939-40, I take this opportunity to once again profusely thank Shri Pawan Tanay ji for uploading these priceless gems on his youtube channel.

Had it not been for his generous gesture, these 4 private songs would have also remained only in print with no access to sound bites of a 16-year-old who would soon turn into a legend.

Today’s song is from an unknown film -Ankh Micholi-1942. Unknown does not mean it is not mentioned anywhere, but it only means that it was not known to most people. It is slightly lesser than ” less known’ films.

In 1940, after the film Kumkum the dancer, starring Sadhona Bose, the establishment of Sagar movietone was wound up and it was merged lock,stock and barrel with National Studios. After 3 films, this also closed down and Chimanlal Desai started his own Amar Pictures. As per Biren Kothari’s book- Sagar Movietone, after making just 6 movies, Amar also closed down. Out of these 6 films, except the film Adab Arz-1943, the other 5 films just came and went, without much noise.

Film Aankh Micholi-1942 was directed by a veteran and a spillover from the Silent era- R.S.Chaudhari. Music was by Gyan Datt and the Lyricists were Pt.Indra, Satyakam and Shatir Lucknowi. The cast of the film included Nalini Jaywant, Satish, Sulochana, Jillo, Hadi, Protima Devi and others.
