Mukesh and his Co-Singers –11

Having covered the songs of Mukesh under the composition of Usha Khanna, I was always curious to list the duets of Usha Khanna and Mukesh.

No, it is not just picking up the duets from the table in the above post as they also sang under other composers; albeit quite a few songs.

Today’s song is a NFS – NON-FILM SONG – of 1945, sung by Juthika Roy.

During my early years of writing on this Blog, I had run a series “The joy of NFS” in the month of June 2014, in which I had discussed 10 NFS songs by different singers. I have been a great fan of NFS, because in my younger age I was listening to them from time to time. However, the last NFS I wrote about was more than almost 2 years ago. While checking on Youtube for some other song, I accidentally saw this song and I was tempted to write on it. This song is uploaded by the well known collector Syed Zafar Shah, who has been generously uploading many old songs. May God increase his tribe !

Today’s song is from the film Guru Ghantal-1956.

There was a film in 1937 also with the same title. The story of both the films were on similar lines. But do you know what the meaning of the word Guru Ghantal is ? I did not know, but I found out from a Hindi-English dictionary, published in 1889. This was compiled by ” The Rev. T.Craven, M.A.”, in Lucknow. Many years ago, I had a habit of roaming on the streets of big cities like Bombay, Delhi, Calcutta or even smaller cities like Poona, Lucknow or Hyderabad, in search of second hand old and rare books. I found this dictionary of Hindi-English-Hindi and Urdu-English-Urdu words for sale in Lucknow. It was quite a thick book and occupied considerable space in my suitcase. The book is extremely useful and I have to use it very carefully because, being so old-135 years- its pages have become brittle and delicate. It is one of my prized possessions !

While going through the filmography of the music director, Vanraj Bhatia recently, I found that he had done the music composition mostly for the off-beat or ‘middle of the road’ films, including those of Shyam Benegal’s films. Among his Bollywood masala films which are few, ‘Surkhiyaan’ (1985) was one of them which came as surprise to me because a couple of songs from the film which I had heard long back, sounded to me like that of R D Burman. The title of the film gave the hint that the story may have something to do with print media. With Naseeruddin Shah as a lead actor, I thought that the script of the film would be good for him to agree to work in the film. I watched the film a couple of days back on this assumption.

The song in this post is a song from a recent movie by the standards of this blog. It is from the year ‘1981’ and the title of the movie it is ‘Sant Gyaaneshwar’. I doubt how many of us remember that there was a movie with this title in the year 1981. As for me, I have never heard or read about this movie of 1981. On the other hand it is the movie ‘Sant Gyaaneshwar’ of 1964 that I am aware of from my childhood days. I remember this movie title because of its memorable songs. My guess is that this movie 1981 with the same title ended up becoming a forgotten movie immediately after its release. This movie was passed by Censor Board on 03.03.1981.
