Agar bewafa tujhko pehchaan jaate

I first became aware of Prem Dhawan in 1970s as the lyricist of the immortal patriotic song Jahan daal daal par sone ki chidiya karti hai baseraa from Sikandar e Azam. This song was composed by Hansraj Bahl. Subsequently I got to hear a few more songs which were written by Prem Dhawan and composed by Hansraj Bahl. Then I became aware of “Shaheed” (1965) and “Pavitra Paapi”(1970), where Prem Dhawan was the lyricist as well as the music director. And what nice song these two movies had !

I do not know as to why I suddenly remembered Sanjeev Kumar (real name Haribhai Jariwala) today early in the morning when I was preparing for my morning walk. His anniversary dates were nowhere near and I have not seen any of his films and video clips for a long time. As it is, my ‘area of operations’ on YT are mainly confined to the watching/listening of video/audio clips pertaining to the period between 1940-1960, straying sometime up to late 60s and most of his his songs does not fit in to my preference. Probably, this was a reminder to me from Sanjeev Kumar donning a white suit and trouser in true suspense film style echoing “old man, have a peep at me too sometime”.

The regular visitors to this blog must have noticed that we are seeing more Asha Bhosle songs posted in the blog nowadays than anybody else’s. The reason is that she is heading towards reaching a milestone figure of 1000 songs in the blog. I have been remiss in writing post of Asha Bhosle songs. Let me rectify this. The song I have chosen is my personal favourite. Asha Bhonsle’s solos from “Sujata” and “Bandini” under S D Burman, are a treasure which I knew from early days.

Main hoon tera geet gori

“Mahua” (1969) was a reincarnation story and quite an ambitious one at that. Here the hero and heroine undergo not one, but two reincarnations each. It is obviously difficult to keep track of the comlicated plot, not just for the moviegoers, for for the moviemakers too. So the end result was a confused and confusing movie that duly flopped at the box office.

From the little I know about “Mahua” (1969), it was a story about re incarnation, but unlike say “Madhumati” (1958) and “Milan” (1967), the makers of this movie were not clear about what they wanted to present to the public. The movie finally ended up with a confused story line which was given a thumbs down by the movie goers.

Mera prem Himalay se oonchaa

The film songs of Mukesh do not even number 800, with the current research that is available, but it is still a great treasure. The voice behind these songs, this person, carries a link back into the soul itself – such is the power and the fascination in this voice. It would be a very tough job, to find a Mukesh song that one could say “naah, not worth the listen”. What maybe would seem lacking in numbers is more than made up by simply the quality of sound and the eminence of rendering.
