Continuing with the series of posts about rare Mukesh gems, here is a wonderful solo song from the film Hum Matwaale Naujawaan (1961). This film is a social drama, produced under the banner of Rover Films, Bombay and directed by LR Asthaana. The star cast includes Shekhar, Saeeda Khan, Jeevan, Agha, Lillian, Mirza Musharraf, Chaman Puri, Gopal Sehgal, Tun Tun, Indira Bansal, Kammo Tripathi, Ravikant, Baby Farida etc. The film was not any major success at the box office, but it did leave its mark. Its music and songs are really very good – a typical grade A quality of music for a B/C grade film. The lyrics are Majrooh Sultanpuri and the music composition is by Chitragupt. This song is a lovely melody, that has been wonderfully rendered by Mukesh.
