Mukesh and his Actors – 11

Mukesh sang one of his most iconic and quintessential sad songs in the film Aabroo (1968). The film was from the production house of Rawal Films.


Its director was C. L. Rawal, writer and lyricist was G. L. Rawal and producer B. L. Rawal.


It was the debut film of actor Deepak Kumar and the most famous song from the film; Mukesh’s solo was picturized on Deepak Kumar. While preparing this post, I learnt that Deepak Kumar was the son of C. L Rawal.

Alphabetical list of actresses who have lip synced in Asha Bhonsle’s voice- Part IV

(Actresses whose name begin with the letter D)

In the first three episodes of the series, we listed actresses whose names begin with the first three letters of the alphabet and who had lip synced in Asha Bhonsle’s voice in the blog. They we went on to cover a song that was lip synced by another acresses whose name began with the same letter and who had not lip synced in Asha Bhonsle’s voice in the blog.

The exercise of finding a “new” actress whose name begins with a particular letter is being increasingly difficult. The three “new” actresses who made their debuts in the blog (as far as lip syncing in Asha Bhonsle’s voice is concerned) were Anju Mahendru, Bhanupriya and Chandrakala.

In this episode, we arrive at the letter D. There are only five actresses who have lip synced in Asha Bhonsle’s voice in the blog.

Alphabetical list of actresses who have lip synced in Asha Bhonsle’s voice- Part III

(Actresses whose name begin with the letter C)

In the first episode of this series, we gave a list of actresses whose name began with A and who had lip synced in Asha Bhonsle’s voice in the posts of the blog. That post covered a song picturised on an actress whose name started with the letter A who had not lip synced in Asha Bhonsle’s voice in the blog till that time.

In the second episode, I gave a list of actresses whose name begins with B and who had already had songs in the blog that were sung by Asha Bhonsle and were picturised on them. Then I covered an Asha Bhonsle song picturised on an actress who did not have an Asha Bhonsle song picturised on her in the blog.

Now in the third episode of this series, we take up actresses whose name begins with C.

Alphabetical list of actresses who have lip synced in Asha Bhonsle’s voice- Part I

(Asha Bhonsle singing for Actresses whose name begin with the letter A)

Asha Bhonsle passed away recently and many people paid tributes to her in various ways. One tribute that caught my eye was a video that carried snippets of 35 Asha Bhonsle songs picturised on 25 different actresses. The actresss were well known and the songs were well known too.

Mukesh and his Composers – 46

Ramu to diwana hai (1970, 1980, 2001) was produced and directed by Chandru.

He wrote the lyrics as well as composed the songs in the film.

Further, the story, screenplay and dialogue were also by Chandru only.

Last but not the least, he also acted in it.

The confusion whether it was Chandru Atma or Chandru Hingorani continues though the latter seems confirmed.

The film titles display the name as only Chandru. There is a very clear snap of his with Raj Kapoor and his wife Krishna along with the actress of the film. And the caption also says Chandru only.

Anyway, this film started as a B/W movie in the 70s and continued to be made for a long time. It was probably censored in 2001 but never released. Some clips of the film including the titles roll are available on the net.

Mukesh sang two soulful solos and a very good duet with Suman Kalyanpur. Both the solos are represented on the blog and I bring forth the classy romantic number in this post.

1 and 2 in the table below give ample information about the making of the film and the stories behind the making.

1 Khwaabon ki duniyaa sitaaron ki duniyaa
2 Maanga thha pyaar magar
3 Tu sabse haseen hai dilruba

I am not giving the full details of the Mukesh songs in the film in the above table as all were written and composed by Chandru.

It seems this was his only film as a composer. I request knowledge readers to throw more light on Chandru if anything is available lately.

I had sought info about this film from late Shri Harish ji and I reproduce his response in as-is basis. Since he was not keeping well for a long time, he wrote in phrases, but it is amply clear that he had a lot of authentic information about films and especially anything to do with Mukesh.

Dear Maheshbhai
Ramu To Deewana Hai Banner : Razzamattazz
Actor, Lyricist, Music director : Chandru
Relative of Arjun Hingorani
There is long story behind this film
I am writing in 3-4 lines

Films shooting started around 1970 in B& W Before it completed colour films started. No value of B& W, So chandru started in B&W heroine changed. But it seems it was not completed
May be producer thought it was not up to the standard. Its songs LP came in the market
around 1980 but film was not sent for censorship. Though it was censored in 2001
it is not released till now
3 Songs of Mukesh recorded Two solo and one duet
Khwabon Ki Duniya………Mukesh
Tu sabse hasin hai……….Mukesh-Suman Kalyanpur
Meri duniyako..Maangaa thaa pyaar magar……Mukesh

Today’s beautiful duet was one of the few that I had brought out as unposted on the blog when I had covered the songs of Mukesh with Suman Kalyanpur.

Here is the link to that memorable post.

Today’s post also has a couple of video links sans the actors lip-syncing it. Hence, I am proposing the audio link only which is good enough to hear.

A beautiful duet with its sweetness amplified in the voices of Suman Kalyanpur and Mukesh.

Listen and enjoy to this duet which sounds so lively to this day.

Editor’s note:- The cast of the movie as available online is Chandru Hingorani, Deepa Rani, Yakub Sayeed, Phonsok, Manvendra Chitnis, Leela Chitnis, Chand Usmani, Janki Das, Shakeel, Toot, Rasool, Baby Ritu, Rehman, David, I.S. Johar, Gulshan Bawra, T L Desai, Padmini Kapila, Raj Kapoor etc. Video of this movie showing Chandru and Deepa Rani frolicking in a beach is available. Deepa Rani had played the role of a career conscious fiancee of Raj Kiran in the movie “Hip Hip Hurray”(1984).
Chandru Hingorani (brother of Arjun Hingorani) was an assistant of Raj Kapoor since 1950s.

This song was picturised on Chandru Hingorani and Deepa Rani.

tu sabse haseen hai dilruba
dil tere bina hai bekaraar
chhodo jee chhodo ye baat humse naa chhedo
kar loon main kaise aitbaar

tu sabse haseen hai dilruba
kar loon main kaise aitbaar
tu sabse haseen hai dilruba
kar loon main kaise aitbaar
tu sabse haseen hai dilruba

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.

  1. Poorab Chaloge Chaloongi, Paschim Chaloge Chaloongi – Patni (1970), a solo by Suman Kalayanpur which has been covered by Sudhir ji
  2. 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.

Yesterday 7th may 2024 was the third phase of General elections 2024 of India. I was looking forward to it for quite some time. The electoral process had started from march end itself and the process will go on till 4 June 2024. A very long drawn, a very elaborate, and at the same time a tedious and tiring process for all. Nevertheless, a very important process for India, and by that token, for the world, because it is the biggest polling exercise ever undertaken in the history of mankind.
