The Voice of Mukesh #39
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

A rare song, and a very infrequent combination indeed. This is a duet sung by Mukesh and Surinder Kaur. Continuing the series of pending Mukesh songs, and now traversing the year 1949, we come across this gem of a song from an obscure film, ‘Daada’. The duo have sung together only in two films, this one and ‘Sunehre Din’, also from the same year. All songs of ‘Sunehre Din’ are already posted here. From ‘Daada’, there are two Mukesh songs pending, and today I bring on one of them.

“Waapas”(1943) is a very old movie. Little is known about this movie today. But we in this movie have all the details about this movie, thanks to our beloved in house encyclopaedia, Mr Arunkumar Deshmukh. Here is what he has to say about this movie:

The Voice of Mukesh #37
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

Ah haa, another lovely ghazal, this time from a lesser known film from 1949. The film is ‘Nazaare’, from the renowned banner of Ranjeet Movietone. The film is directed by Prahlad Dutt. A reading of the star cast indicates this would be one of those assembly line outputs of Ranjeet. The star cast includes Shashikala, Agha, Satish, Shanti Madhok, Khan, Anwari, Ramesh Thakur, Ram Avtar, Rajendra. The poet for the lyrics is identified as Rajinder Krishan, and the music is from the baton of Bulo C Rani. The film has sixteen songs in all, and a bit surprising that Bulo C Rani thought of using Mukesh for only one song in this film.

1949, in my opinion, is the pinnacle of Hindi film music. Many a music directors, lyricists and singers, wrote their histories in this year. There has been great music both before and after this singular year. But the numbers and quality of music from this year, simply speaks for itself.

Today I am posting the next song by Mukesh, from the year 1949. The film is ‘Lekh’. Given that this film stars the famous pairing of that era – Motilal and Suraiyyaa, I am guessing that this film must have been one of the successes of its time. Maybe so, but today, the name sounds unfamiliar and obscure.
