(A tribute to Singer Mukesh on his Remembrance Day 27th Aug’2023)
——————————————-———————————

Readers of this blog are aware that this year is the ‘birth centenary year’ of the legendary singer Mukesh (22.07.1923 – 27.08.1976). Earlier we had a few posts on the blog for the birth centenary celebrations. When our respected Sudhir ji and Mahesh ji started presenting posts with Mukesh songs I was under the impression that there will be post on every day starting from 22nd July to 27th August (which is Mukesh’s Remembrance Day) since many Mukesh songs are yet to be posted here. That did not happen. But there were some Mukesh related posts till his birth anniversary …

Today’s song is from the film Subah Ka Tara (1954).

Today’s song is a special song. Firstly, it is the last song of this film to appear here, thus making this film an “YIPPEE” film and secondly it is my 1234th post on this Blog ( it is a serial number 1-2-3-4, for those readers who need an explanation.).

Deepti Naval is known for her roles in parallel/experimental Hindi films. After watching a couple of her TV interviews, I have come to know that she is a multi-faceted personality. Apart from acting, Deepti Naval is a writer and director. She is also a poet, a painter, and a photographer. Probably, she is the first Indian American who has been associated with Hindi films in India.

Today’s song is from a film made in Madras – ‘Naya Aadmi’ (1956).

The film was made by Jupiter Films, Madras, simultaneously along with the Telugu film ‘Santosham’. The cast was mainly from the South, taking few Hindi actors for the Hindi film, like Anwar Hussain, Gope and Helen (her first Telugu film incidentally, when she danced in film ‘Santosham’ also). The Music Director pair was Vishwanath – Rammurthy (their first Hindi film) with 8 songs and Madan Mohan with just 3 songs. The cast was Anjali Devi (South), NT Rama Rao, Jamuna, Raja Sulochana etc. For the Hindi lyrics it was, of course, Rajendra Krishna- the South’s favourite.

As per Hindu mythology, the Sun god is travelling in the sky on a chariot pulled by seven horses. After pulling the chariot for a long time, the six horses are tired. It is the seventh horse who remains and continues to pull the chariot signifying it to be the horse of dreams and aspirations for the future. In 1952, Dr Dharamvir Bharati published his novella, ‘Suraj Ka Saatvan Ghoda’. I read the novella in full which is available online. The novella is written in narration style in which the protagonist, Manik Mulla narrates to his three friends, three separate romance stories relating to three girls. What is of interest is that Manik Mulla is not only the narrator of the stories, but he is also the characters in all the three stories who loves these three girls at different points of time in his life. As Agyeya said in his foreword to the novella, ‘Suraj Ka Saatvan Ghoda’ is not the one story comprising three stories, but three stories constituting one story. The author, in his introduction, has revealed that during his early period of writing, he was influenced by Marxist objectives rather than hardcore Marxism. In this novella, some indications of that objectives can be inferred.  The full novella in Hindi can be read here.

HEARTIEST CONGRATULATIONS FOR CROSSING THE MARK OF 16 MILLION VISITORS !

Today’s song is from a Costume film ” Raj Mukut” (1950).

The decade of the 1950 was the one in which possibly the highest number of films having “King and Queen” stories were made . A cursory look at the Film Title Index shows a total of 77 such film titles, starting with the letters “Raj…”. Out of these, 17 films are from the 50’s. There must be more films having the trio of ” King,Queen and the Vazir”, but starting with other words like Raami Dhoban or films starting with Samrat or words connected with kingdoms etc. Finally I gave up my ‘Research’ !

Regulars of the blog would recall that I used to write a lots of posts about my pets between 2012 to 2014. The tales were amusing tales that some people may even dismiss as made up tales. But they were true tales. In one of the posts, I even put up a video link as proof to demonstrate that what I described in that post were facts and not fiction.
