Mukesh and his Actors – 06

Navin Nischol was amongst the new breed of actors to grace the silver screen from the early 70’s. He made his debut with the film Sawan Bhadon (1970) in which he was paired with none other than Rekha who was also making her debut in Hindi films.

His popular films and even more popular songs are well known. Without going into the details of his films and his successful foray into television media, I direct readers to his wiki page where ample details are provided.

In this post, we shall deal with Mukesh’s playback for Navin Nischol. There are only 3 films in which Mukesh sang a total of 5 songs for him. Here is the table of their collaboration.

# Debutant Movie –Mandir Masjid-1977#
————————————————

Today’s song is a wonderful sufi qawwaalee from the 1977 movie ‘Mandir Masjid’.

I was longing to share this song on the blog. I have listened to this song many times and liked this composition very much. The singers of this Qawwaalee song are Mohd Rafi, Manna Dey, Shankar-Shambhu, and Ram Kumar. I was under the impression that this song also has the voice of Jani Babu Qawwaal but Geet Kosh and other sources do not mention his name. As per information contained in Geet Kosh Vol-V (1971-1980) the famous Qawwaalee duo Shankar-Shambhu had confirmed that this song was composed by them, though the music composer for this movie was Sharda. They had also informed that this song has the voice of Ram Kumar as well(I am not aware about him).

#The Decade of Eighties – 1981 – 1990 #
————————————————————————

We are all aware of the movie ‘Jai Santoshi Maa’ which came in the year 1975. This movie turns fifty years old’ this year. I remember watching this movie with my parents and I liked all the songs from this movie. However I was not aware of the movie whose song is being covered in the post. I became aware of this movie only after getting hold of Geet Kosh Vol-VI (1981-1985). Geet Kosh mentions in the footnote of this movie that the songs from this movie ‘Sampoorna Santoshi Maa Ki Mahimaa-1981’ were released in the 1975 with the title ‘Santoshi Maa Ki Mahimaa’. However, later the title of this movie was changed to ‘Sampoorna Santoshi Maa Ki Mahimaa’ and it was released in 1981.

Mukesh and his Composers – 39

Coming to the next part of this series, I take up a solo song by Mukesh from the film Parmatma released in 1978. It was directed by Chand and had Shatrughan Sinha, Rekha, Pradeep Kumar, Aruna Irani, Ranjeet, Dev Kumar, Jagdish Raj, Chand Usmani, Helen and others in the cast. The music was by K. Babuji and lyrics by Indeevar.

Again, not much information is available on the music director K. Babuji. It appears Mukesh has sung only one song for him.

Today (30 June 2025) is the last day of the month. Last day of the month is important in many ways. It is on this date that accounts are settled for many things. For instance, one may pay the milkman for the milk taken during the month and may pay for the newspaper taken for the month. In government service, it is a very important day for retiring people. People who were born sixty years ago retire on this date. So, people born during June 1965 are retiring today. I too retired on this day exactly three years ago.

This article is not about those events though. In this article, I will discuss the blog activity in the month of june 2025. When we look at the previous months, we notice that we were typically covering songs whose number ranged from 30 odd to 70 odd in a month. The last time we touched three figures of songs in a month was in may 2023, when we touched exactly 100 songs. This broke a five months long streak that began from January 2023 when more than 100 songs were getting covered every month.

The name of SN Tripathi evokes fond memories of melody and good music amongst avid HF music lovers. He was a multitalented personality who contributed to composing, singing, acting, storytelling, direction, screenplay writing, filmmaking etc.

Despite contributions in many fields of film making, he is best known as a music director. He gave music to mainly B grade mythological and historical movies, but these movies had A grade songs for us to cherish.
