This article is written by Sadanand Kamath, a fellow enthusiast of Hindi movie music and a regular contributor to this blog.
In the late 60s, there was a time when I would watch one Hindi film almost every week-end in the theatre. The one aspect of the films which used to irritate me at that time was actors suddenly going into singing mode thus interrupting, like a speed breaker on the highway, the smooth flow of the narration. Some people would even walk out of the theatre as soon as the song started on the screen and come back only after the end of the song. Of course the audience would not do that when a song is melodious and well picturised.

Today (25 july) is the death anniversary of G S Kohli. He is one of those unsung music directors who deserved to get far more opportunities than what he actually got. In the few movies where he gave music, he has created awesome music. Who can forget the music of movies like “Faulaad” (1963), “Shikari” (1963) and “Namaste Jee” (1965).

Today (22 july) is the birthday of Mukesh. This gives us an opportunity to dedicate the day for some as yet undiscussed Mukesh songs.
Mukesh had a singing career that began in 1941 with “Nirdosh” (1941) and he had a playback career lasting 26 years till he died in 1976. During his career, he sang around 800 songs in Hindi movies. We in this blog have already discussed 452 of them. So we are already more than halfway there. If we discuss the remaining Mukesh songs at the rare of one song daily and more on special occasions like his anniversaries, then I hope that we will be able to cover all remaining Mukesh songs by this date the next year.
