Continuing with the series of delightful but rare songs from Mukesh. This offering is a lovely heartfelt melody from an unreleased and obscure film from 1964, ‘Bhool Na Jaanaa’. The songs, that have thankfully not been lost, are a wonderful treat, and the credit goes to Daan Singh, who is the composer for this film. Practically all the songs of this film are gems of the first water, something that speaks to the unsung talent of this great musician from Jaipur. There are seven songs available from this unreleased film, three of which are already discussed on this blog, viz. “Mere Humnasheen Mere Humnawaan” sung by Geeta Dutt, “Gora Gora Mukhdaa Ye Tu Ne Kahaan Paayaa Hai” sung by Mukesh, and “Gham e Dil Kis Se Kahoon” also by Mukesh. The earlier posts include brief write ups about the circumstances of this film, and how it got shelved. A film about the 1962 war with China, it got entangled with the changed government policy in 1964-65 to not depict anything negative about China. And Daan Singh, a very talented musician, was branded unlucky with his very first venture itself.
