Pancham’s Music – Eighties-to-Nineties (1981-1994…) Duets-6
Today’s duet song which is composed by Rahul Dev Burman, fondly known as Pancham, is from the movie ‘Mil Gayee Manzil Mujhe-1988’. I have not watched this movie but when I browsed the list of its songs and listened to a few of them, this duet song sounded familiar to me.
This movie ‘Mil Gayee Manzil Mujhe-1988’ was directed by Moeen Amjad for ‘Chetna Movies’. Shantilal J Sopariwala was the producer of this movie. The presenter of this movie was ‘Chetna Zarda & Co’ and in the title of this movie (in the version available on internet this credit for the presenter comes up with a picture of the container of its product i.e. ‘Zarda’ and printed on it is ‘Chetna Zafrani Zarda 131 flavored chewing tobacco’. 🙂
Those days movies showing tobacco products were not required to carry the statutary warning about the health hazards of these products that are mandatory now a days. This movie was passed by the Censor Board on 05.12.1988.
The cast of ‘Mil Gayee Manzil Mujhe-1988’ included Mithun Chakravarty, Moon Moon Sen(as spelled in the titles of the movie), Shakti Kapoor, Girish Karnad, Kalpana Iyer, with Shobha, and Amrish Puri. Shubha Khote, Om Shivpuri, and Viju Khote had guest appearances in this movie while this movie introduced actor Manoj Verma. They were supported by Jalal Agha, Urmila Bhatt, Alka Nupur, Shantilal Suratwala, Monal Kriplani, Bhiku Verma, Tinu Verma, Kishan Thapa, Ranveer Raj, Kartik Dutt, Vasant Patel, and Jullien. Story and screenplay for this movie was written by Sachin Bhowmick and its dialogues were written by Akhtar-Ul-Iman. Editing of this movie is done by Anant Apte.
Playback singers for this movie are Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhonsle, Kishore Kumar, and Shailendra Singh. This movie has six songs written by Anand Bakshi which were composed by R.D. Burman.
Rahul Dev Burman, the genius music director was going through a lean phase of his career during this period. Only six movies with his music were released in the year 1988. Here is the list of these movies with their status on this blog.

Today we introduce this movie ‘Mil Gayee Manzil Mujhe-1988’ on the blog with this duet song sung by Kishore Kumar and Asha Bhonsle. The song is picturised on Mithun Chakravarty and Moon Moon Sen. The picturisation of this song has taken place in scenic locations of Nepal (it can be deduced from the credits of the movie where various various authorities of Nepal have been thanked for their co operation).
Let us now listen to and enjoy this Pancham composition…

Sometime in early 1980s, I had heard a non-film song, ‘mohe aayee na jag se laaj…..ke ghunghroo toot gaye’ which was rendered by Pankaj Udhas. At that time, I did not think much about this song but its hook line ‘ke ghunghroo toot gaye’ periodically reminded me of the song. After the death of Pankaj Udhas in 2024, his old non-film songs started ‘bumping up’ on the video sharing platforms during which I heard this song in full after many years and liked it, more so because of its lyrics. Since then, I was planning to cover this non-film song for the Blog. But I was not sure about the genesis of this song, particularly when I came to know that the song was written by Pakistani poet and lyricist, Qateel Shifai. So, I kept the song in hold until I got some clarity about it. After doing some reseach on the internet, I am now in a position to write the article on the song.

In this article I am taking up for discussion an obscure film, ‘Rukhsat’ (1988) which I watched online recently. The film was written and directed by Simi Grewal – the only film she directed so far. The cast included Mithun Chakraborty, Anuradha Patel, Marc Zuber, Amrish Puri, Simi Grewal, Pradeep Kumar, Rohini Hattangadi, Tom Alter, Baby Sona Sardesai etc with friendly appearance by Sujit Kumar. The film took about 6 years to complete and get released.

In the context of Hindi film music, we have often heard the word ‘plagiarism’ for copying tunes, melodies, orchestrations and even the lyrics. The plagiarism in Hindi film music has become more pronounced from 1980s onwards during which some of the new generation of Hindi film music directors faced the allegations of plagiarism in their compositions of many songs. It came into open when two songs of the same tune, ‘thamma thamma loge’ in ‘Thanedaar’ (1990) and second, ‘jumma chhumma de do’ in ‘Hum’ (1991) were released within a short gap which were said to be inspired from ‘tama tama’ by Mory Kante (1988). Some of the music directors have dismissed the allegation of plagiarism by saying that such song compositions have not been copied but have been ‘inspired’ from original sources.

“Naamumkin”(1988) was produced by Bidhu Jha (an NRI) and directed by Hrishikesh Mukherjee. This movie was a mystery movie, not a genre one associates Hrishikesh Mukherjee with.

Today’s song is from the 1988 movie ‘Naamumkin’. This movie was directed by Hrishikesh Mukherjee. It is one of the lesser known movies directed by him. He has given us many master class movies as a director but this movie is not one of them. I was not even of aware this movie when it was released in theatres.

Hullo Atuldom
Just discovered that Kumar Sanu is turning 67 (DoB 23 September 1958).
He has been around singing songs in Indian films since 1983. He first figured in a Bangladeshi film in 1986 whereas his first major Bollywood song was in “Hero Hiralal” (1988). He was born as Kedarnath Bhattacharya to Pasupati Bhattacharya who was a vocalist/ composer whose ancestral home was near Dhaka. The family moved to Calcutta (now Kolkata) in search of livelihood, where Kedarnath was born.

(A Tribute to Kishore Kumar – The Versatile Genius)
Today (13 October 2023) we pay our tributes to the ‘versatile genius’ Kishore Kumar (04.08.1929 – 13.10.1987) on his thirty-sixth ‘Remembrance Anniversary’.
Much has already been written about Kishore Kumar in the media and on this blog too. So I am not going to repeat the same today. But I would like to mention that Kishore Kumar will be discussed till HFM exists on this planet. Much will be written about him till the HFM exists on this planet. People of future generations will keep coming across his songs and his biography and his acting and musical skills and his writing skills and his directing skills and … we can go on adding about this multifaceted personality, and a simple yet sometimes eccentric human being.One needs to into depth into his life to understand Kishore Kumar fully. So people will keep discoving facts about him.
