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.

Mukesh and his NFS – 14
We come back to arguably the most nostalgic songs that Mukesh sang in his life. I say life and not singing career because he recorded these half a dozen songs before he set foot in Bombay in 1940-41.
A young boy, 17 years of age managed to record 6 songs in Delhi and have them released on discs. How he pulled this great feat is not documented.

Today’s song is from an early era film – Jailor-1938.
1938 was an interesting year in the early life of the Talkie films. The film making studios had firm footing with a studio system and they tried a variety of subjects in their films. In the 88 Hindi films produced in 1938, one finds almost every Genre of film subjects, except perhaps the usual Folk stories and Historical themes. Comedy, Tragedy, Fiction, Jungle stories, Costume, Socials, Musicals, Mythologicals, you name it and you had it. Content and technical expertise had improved as films on famous novels were made.
