Today, February 13, 2026, is the 97th birth anniversary of Lekh Tandon, one of the versatile yet underrated Hindi filmmakers. Like Hrishikesh Mukherjee, Lekh Tandon made decent films with commercial appeal. He experienced many ups and downs in his filmy career of about five decades. Yet he never gave up the career until his death.

Lekh Raj Tandon (13/02/1929 – 17/10/2017) was born in Lahore. His father, Faqueer Chand Tandon was the classmate of Prithviraj Kapoor. His elder brother, Yograj Tandon was Urdu playwright and worked as a secretary to Prithviraj Kapoor. Lekh Tandon’s father wanted him to compete for Civil Engineering entrance examination of VJTI in Bombay (Mumbai). Sometime in summer vacation, Lekh Tandon visited Bombay and stayed with Prithviraj Kapoor. During his stay, he used to go with Raj Kapoor and Shammi Kapoor for watching the film shoots. He instantly liked the medium of film and decided that he wanted to become the film director.

Lyrics

dil dhadakne lagaa
sharmaayee nazar
pyaar le ke chalaa hai
naa jaane kidhar
pyaar le ke chalaa hai
naa jaane kidhar
dil dhadakne lagaa aa

aaj kyaa hai ke ??
rut bahaar aa gayee
phool khilne lagey
aur ghataa chhaa gayee
ho gayeen tez kyun
dhadkanen is qadar
dil dhadakne lagaa
sharmaayee nazar
pyaar le ke chalaa hai
naa jaane kidhar
pyaar le ke chalaa hai
naa jaane kidhar
dil dhadakne lagaa aa

saans bajte hain yoon
jaise shehnaayiyaan
muskuraane lageen
meree tanhaayiyaan
aarzoo
kya hai dil kee
naheen kuchh khabar
dil dhadakne lagaa
sharmaayee nazar
pyaar le ke chalaa hai
naa jaane kidhar
pyaar le ke chalaa hai
naa jaane kidhar
dil dhadakne lagaa aa

kaun aayaa yahaan
muskuraataa huaa
chaand taare zameen par
bichhaataa huaa
ho gayaa hai haseen
zindagee kaa safar
dil dhadakne lagaa
sharmaayee nazar
pyaar le ke chalaa hai
naa jaane kidhar
pyaar le ke chalaa hai
naa jaane kidhar
dil dhadakne lagaa aa

Though a gifted and talented musician, he was known to be an unlucky Music Director.

Today’s song is from the movie ‘Shareef Daaku-1960’. This movie is making its debut on the blog today. It seems to be an obscure movie of its time.

One big advantage of the internet era is that sharing of resources has become easy. It has enabled music lovers to share music from obscure movies that would have remained out of reach of most music lovers if there was no internet. Songs from old movies that were considered very rare songs and even lost songs have become available with time for the listening pleasure of music lovers. One cannot thank the uploaders of such songs enough. Music lovers will remain grateful for their generosity in sharing such rare musical gems online.

It was 29 days ago (on 9 January 2026) that we had reached blog song post number 19800. That song post also happened to be 300th duets of Kishore Kumar and Asha Bhonsle. If 300 duets of a pair of singers is an enormous achievement then what will we say about twice that number of duets ? 600 duets !! That is a mind boggling mind numbing number of duets. This feat is achieved by Mohammad Rafi and Asha Bhonsle in the blog.

Mukesh and his Co-Singers –16

I begin this very special post with a video of Asha Bhosale ji on her own youtube channel.

A short video wherein she speaks about her first 3 songs in Hindi Films.

I tried to trace the chronological accuracy of the songs enlisted in the video. What I found was that the films mentioned seem to be correct, but she has sung two songs in her second film and so her duet in Lekh (1949) could be her fourth and she mentions it as her third.

Sometime later, I will try to trace the exact chronology, but what matters for this post is her first duet in Hindi Films.

A duet with none other than Mukesh.

I request readers to watch the interesting video as Asha ji talks of her initial days in the industry.

I wish the video was fully on Mukesh, but then she digresses on some other topic.

Anyway, her first interaction with Mukesh is quite interesting and only reaffirms and confirms the godly title given to Mukesh, “a noble soul”.

As is evident from the video, Mukesh right from his initial days had no qualms on worldly pleasures and led a simple, honest and righteous life. No wonder the voice emanating from such a noble soul continues to enthral music lovers all over the world to this day.

Coming to this post, I call it special as it is my 100th Mukesh post on the blog.
