In the process of searching for some rare songs sung by G M Durrani, I came across a song ‘chamkat damkat daamini’ sung by him in the film GEET GOVIND (1947) with Aabha and Geeta Dutt. I have not heard the name of the film nor the song. I am not even aware of Aabha, one of the playback singers in this song. Perhaps she may be one of those ‘one-film’ playback singers.

This delightful and endearing sound of a heart that is finding love for the first time, took me by surprise. And the song seems to be really rare, in that I am not able to locate any published version online so far.

The Voice of Mukesh #15
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
With the previous post in this series, we stepped into Mukesh’s world of 1947. His popularity and demand continued to increase. In this year, he has recorded 20 songs for nine films. Compare this with 7 songs for five films in 1946. We do recall that 1945 was good year for him, as he struck a chord of good fortune and popularity with the iconic song “Dil Jalta Hai To Jalne De”, and had recorded 8 songs for three films, seven of them for ‘Pehli Nazar’ and ‘Moorti’. So, after a slow year in 1946, Mukesh seems to be coming into his own in 1947.

Arshon pe sitaara hai wo

Sadanand Kamath’s writeup

I had not heard the name of the film BEETE DIN (1947). What prompted me to know about this film was a song ‘arshon pe sitaara hai wo’ from this film which is sung by Mukesh and M A Rauf (Osmania), one of the two music directors in the film. The song’s composition is somewhat different than what one usually finds in most of Hindi film songs. There is no repetition of lines of mukhda in the antaras. The tune is more or less the same for both the mukhda and antaras.

The song I have chosen for discussion is a Mukesh-Shamshad duet ‘moti chugne gayi re hansi maansarovar teer’ from the film ‘CHHEEN LE AZAADI (1947) which I have been all along assuming to have already beencovered in the blog. Now I find that this duet is yet to be discussed in the blog. The reason for my erroneous assumption was that some time back our dear Sudhir had taken up the mission of posting Mukesh songs pertaining to 1940s.
