We are discussing songs sung by Mukesh, in the year 1947. In this year, the film ‘Do Dil’ was a veritable bonanza for Mukesh, with the music director Pt. Gobindram getting Mukesh to sing for as many as six songs. Three of these songs are solo, and three duets. On this blog, we have already posted the three solo songs, and two of the duets (with Suraiyyaa). Here is the third duet, and the sixth Mukesh song from this film. The accompanying voice in this song is that of Rajkumari.

The year of 1947 was the most prolific yet for Mukesh. Having started his singing career for Hindi films in 1941, in the six years from 1941 to 1946, he had sung a total of 21 songs in eleven films. Of these, seven are solos and fourteen are duets. As far as incremental score is concerned, the years 1945 and 1946 were very good in comparison to the years from 1941 to 1944.

In the process of searching for some rare songs sung by G M Durrani, I came across a song ‘chamkat damkat daamini’ sung by him in the film GEET GOVIND (1947) with Aabha and Geeta Dutt. I have not heard the name of the film nor the song. I am not even aware of Aabha, one of the playback singers in this song. Perhaps she may be one of those ‘one-film’ playback singers.
