Mukesh and his Composers – 41

Today, 22 July is Mukesh’s birthday (22 July 1923 – 27 August 1976).

Much has been written on him in my various posts.

Hence, coming to the next part of this series, we take up the case of composer duo Sapan Sengupta and Jagmohan Bakshi known popularly as Sapan Jagmohan. They are so popular by this name that every time, one is compelled to ponder whether they are one or two people.

Hello everyone!

It has been SUCH a long time since my last post here that I’ve forgotten how to even write posts.

So this one will most probably be a short one, unlike my past marathon posts.
I say “most probably” because I might intend a short post, but once I start writing, my thoughts end up having a life of their own. I would be an editor’s worst nightmare. 😊

Anyway, let’s see how it goes.

Ok, so the main reason for this post is a sort of coincidence that I’m taking as a sign to make me write.

During 1970s, when I was in my teens, I used to maintain records of cricket. Nowadays, we have access to cricket records with the click of a few buttons on computer or mobile phones but that was not the case 50 odd years ago. At about the same time, I also started noting down the lyrics of Hindi movie songs that I liked. Those days were pre HFGK days when we had no idea how many movie songs were created by then. The claims of 25000 plus songs and 28000 songs by individual singers were entertained and published even in Guiness Book of world records those days !

Kamsune/Unsune songs of Asha Bhosle- 28

Today I present to you a song very close to my heart. It brings a lot of nostalgia in me, making me smile and be happy.

“Pyar sajaao Baharein Lutao” is sung by Asha Bhosle. It is penned by Naqsh Layalpuri and composed by Pradeep Roychaudhary. It is from “Ang Se Ang Lagale” (1974).

Hullo Atuldom

It is 13 years since the passing of the first Superstar of Hindi cinema. I shall hold back the adjectives that are normally showered on this ICON who had a way to charm the audiences. His smile, emoting eyes etc. had the film viewing public, specially the female viewers swooning all over him, his images and even his CARS. A kind of mania no other actor has managed to replicate since then. He walked into their hearts riding an open top jeep, singing a song composed by S.D. Burman, in the voice of Kishore Kumar. Though that was not his first foray into films.

Let me first clarify that we are remembeing actor/producer Rajesh Khanna who veered towards politics (he contested the 1991/1992 Lok Sabha elections & won the ’92 Bye-election) briefly.
He was a winner of the 1965 All India Talent Contest, organised by United Producers and Filmfare magazine. Actors turned filmmakers Subhash Ghai & Dheeraj Kumar were also contestants in that year.

#The Decade of Seventies – 1971 – 1980 #
———————————————————–—
(Lyricist Kavi Pradeep-27)
—————————–
#Desh Kee Mittee Kee Khushboo#

My recent posts on this blog have been mostly presentations of devotional songs. One reason is that the holy month of saawan has commenced. Devotees of Lord Shiva or Bholey Baabaa are untertaking ‘kaanwar yaatraa’ to bring the holy gangajal from the Ganga river from places such as ‘Gaumukh’, ‘Haridwar’,Gangotri, Sultanganj (Bihar). Devotees get ‘gangaajal’ from these places and then carry the water pots on a contraption called kaanvar. Devotees then offer this water at their local shrines. Some devotees carry this water to various ‘jyotirlingaas’ of Lord Shiva or specific temples of Lord Shiva and offer it there. This is an annual pilgrimage undertaken by millions specifically in the northern parts of the country (including eastern and central India and parts of Western India). The devotees travel to the temples of Shiva while chanting ‘bol bam’ throughout the journey.

Mukesh and his Actors – 07

As we draw towards the last few HF songs of Mukesh, it is becoming increasingly difficult to trace his unposted songs on the blog.

Of late, I pick up an artist (actor, co-singer, composer) and start the rigorous search on the blog to see if all the respective songs are covered. In this exercise, I am also realizing that I have myself covered the artist in one of my series in the past. 😊

Of course, I am yet to cover Raj Kapoor, Lata, Asha, and three duo-composers for whom Mukesh sang songs aplenty. The issue with such artists is that I must spend considerable time preparing the lengthy tables. However, they are quite important, and I will try to take up these marathon posts shortly. I am even contemplating breaking the songs decade-wise so that it is easy for me to cover them. Let me see what best can be done.
