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).

Mukesh and His Composers – 33
Singer and composer Narayan Dutt is a victim of same-name confusion where he is always mistaken for the more famous N Datta. The confusion further escalates with Datt, Dutta etc. being used for both composers. The career of Narayan Dutt has already been written by our Arunkumar ji in his posts for the songs “Dagmag Dagmag Doley Naiya” (film ‘Jogan’, 1950) and “Gupchup Un Sang Ho Gayin Akhiyaan Chaar Re” (film ‘Mordhwaj’, 1952)

Mukesh and His Composers – 32
We continue the series with composer Vishnu Khanna. He seems to have composed music for only two films. Both these films have been introduced on the blog with one song each as follows.
- “Poorab Chaloge Chaloongi, Paschim Chaloge Chaloongi“ – Patni (1970), a solo by Suman Kalayanpur which has been covered by Sudhir ji
- “Kaisi Shaam Suhaani Aayi Re“ – Pasand Apni Apni (1972), a solo by Rafi saab covered by Satyajit Rajurkar ji
The composer continues to remain obscure. No information seems to be available on him other than what is already known.

Today’s song is from the film ‘Shikar’ (1955).
Films with the title ‘Shikar’ were made in 1955, 1965, 1999 and 2001. Then there were films called ‘Shikari’, made in 1932, 1946, 1963 and 1991. To top it all, there was a film with the title ‘Shikar Shikari Ka’ made in 2010. I am not giving these details for fun, but after you read this film’s story, you will yourself say that the title of this film should have been ‘Shikar Shikari Ki’ !

Mukesh and his Actors – 01
——————————————-
Well, the Halley’s comet is back on the blog.
So much so that it did not feature in nearly two centuries of latest posts. Reasons? Aren’t they cliches already on the blog?
Incidentally, speaking of the real macro universe comet itself, it last appeared in 1986 and is expected to pass by the pale blue dot next in July 2061. Second week of December this year, it reached the farthest point from the sun known as aphelion, thus beginning its journey towards the inner solar system.
So, the date for sighting arguably the most famous comet is set for July 2061 for earthlings alive then.
Coming back to the blog, we start with a new series Mukesh and his Actors. This has been a task which I had been contemplating for years and remained a non-starter mainly because I could not decide as to which actor, I should take up for the debut post.

# Superstar Child Artist – Junior Mehmood # 15
——————————————————–
It has been over eight years now that we started this series for the songs picturised on actor Junior Mehmood. We started with songs sung by Mohd Rafi for Junior Mehmood and later on added more songs sung by other singers for Junior Mehmood. There are still few songs yet to be posted which we discovered in recent years that are picturised on Junior Mehmood.

This day that year-24 July
————————————–
A few days ago, songs were discussed from movies called 26th January and 25th July. We all know the significance of 26th January. But what is the importance of 25th July ? Reading about the story in the article tells us that unlike 26 January, 25 july was an imaginary movie. It was an imaginary action movie.
Today is 24 July. If a movie called 24 July will ever be made, it will not be an imaginary movie. 24 July is a very important day in the history of India. In my opinion it is as important a day for India as 15 August and 26 January.

Mukesh and his Composers – 23
This post is dedicated to Shri Harish Raghuwanshi ji of Surat for his pioneering work in collating songs and providing invaluable information on films and artists.
Mukesh’s collaboration with composer Lachhiram hardly rings any bell and rightly so as “they never worked in any film”.
With some surfing on the net, one comes across two devotional NFS that Mukesh sang for him. With more rigorous search one can find references of some rare and untraceable couplet that Mukesh sang in Lachhiram’s last film Main Suhangan Hoon released in 1964.

Yearwise discussion of Lata Mangeshkar songs in HFM: Part LXIII: Year 2015
———————————————————————————————————
In this episode, the 63nd episode, we cover Lata Mangeshkar songs that she sang in Hindi movies released in 2015. In the previous episode, we covered a Lata Mangeshkar song from a movie of 2011. So this time we should have covered a movie song of 2012. But it turns out that Lata Mangeshkar did not sing any songs in Hindi movies released in 2012, 2013 and 2014. In 2015, she sang one song in a movie. So, in this episode we jump over three years and arrive at the year of 2015.
