Mukesh and his Co-Singers –15

I am extremely delighted to present this next post on Mukesh and his co-singers to the readers of the blog.

Mukesh and Suman Kalyanpur. Two singers who renditions are remembered and enjoyed to this day mainly because of the unique sweetness in their duets.

Their standalone solos and duets with other singers are legendary. But when they came together, the melody was amplified and in a different league altogether. The charm and harmony in their voices is very much evident. Most of the songs that they sang were usually soft romantic numbers.

In many films they had only one song. But many such films are remembered only for the duet of Mukesh and Suman Kalyanpur. Their voices blended perfectly creating iconic songs.

In Hindi films, in addition to heroines, there would be one or two secondary female characters. For examples, in the love triangle involving the hero, there would be ‘other woman’. To create a rift between hero and the heroine, there will be a vamp. Then, Hindi films’ model box office formula stories also require female characters of seducer, westernised women of high society, courtesans, hero/heroine’s sister and friend etc. There were some popular actresses who were known for doing such character’s roles like Kuldeep Kaur, Shashikala, Nishi, Aruna Irani, Helen, Bindu, Faryal, Naaz, Nazima and many more during 1950s to 1970s. There were some lesser known actresses doing such roles, one of them being Lolita Chatterjee. This diva from Kolkata with her glamorous look, drew the attention of Hindi film makers during mid-1960 to mid-1970.

#the Decade of Sixties – 1961 – 1970 #
———————————————————————

Regulars on this blog are aware that I am a big fan of Qawwaalees from Hindi films (as well as non-film qawwaalees ). I am also a big fan of the famous Qawwaalee singer Jaani Babu Qawwaal. His voice is pure nostalgia for me. I love his singing and also the way he performed his qawwaalees on screen.

I am trying to present Qawwaalees sung by him whenever I get an opportunity to do so. Today I am presenting a song that must be considered rare because it is not mentioned in HFGK and its records were apparently not made. This song is only available in the movie. Despite its presence in the movie it has gone unnoticed because not many people may have watched the video or noticed that this song was not mentioned in HFGK..

Today, August 19, 2025, is the 6th Remembrance Day of a ‘ruhaani‘ music director, Mohammed Zahoor Khayyam Hashmi (18/02/1927 – 19/08/2019), better known as Khayyam. His musical career can be divided into three parts. The first part (1948-67) was his struggling years during which he mostly got low budget films. In the second part (1967-74), he took sabbatical from the Hindi film industry and concentrated in composing non-film Hindi songs. In the last part of his musical career, (1974-2013) he rejoined his musical career in Hindi films during which he had a successful stint both financially and career-wise.

Khayyam was born in Rahon in Nawanshahr district (now Shaheed Bhagat Singh Nagar) of Punjab in a Muslim scholar’s family who loved poetry and music. There used to be a regular gathering in his father’s large library room to discuss poetry and music which included films as well as classical music. All the family members were highly educated. His father expected Khayyam to follow suit. But he was glued more to the gramophone record player listening to film songs than to his schoolbooks (akin to the addiction to smartphone among today’s school going children) as he wished to become an actor-singer like K L Saigal, his idol.

Kamsune/Unsune songs of Asha Bhosle – 18

Today’s song “Saaqiyaa Saaquiyaa Aankhon Se Jaam Pila De” by Asha Bhosle is another rare/rarely heard song from the 1960s.

The 1967 Hindi historical drama “Nawab Sirajuddaula” is a film based on the life and times of Siraj ud-Daulah, the last independent Nawab of Bengal. The film chronicles the political intrigue, betrayal, and colonial conspiracy that led to one of the most significant events in Indian history — the Battle of Plassey in 1757.
