We in this blog have achieved several milestones, but this milestone is something in its own league. Today we are celebrating a humongous individual milestone. With this post, Lata Mangeshkar reaches 4000 songs as a playback singer in this blog !

More than one decade ago, She had touched 1000 songs in the blog as the blog itself touched 3000 songs. Imagine, today she alone touches 4000 songs in the blog.

I had run a series on Lata Mangeshkar’s songs (yearwise) in the blog. That series, which ran every monday for 63 weeks (viz for one year and three months). In that series we had an indepth look at the list of songs that Lata Mangeshkar had sung in Hindi movies.

Today’s song is from a Mythological story – Shuk Rambha-1953.

It was directed by an expert in such films – Dhirubhai Desai and the music was given by Manna Dey. Yes, you read it right. The MD of this film was Manna Dey. many playback singers secretly desired to become MDs, but only few dared and fewer still succeeded. It was a case of reverse too – like most MDs tried their hands at singing. Some dared and few succeeded.

It is seen that the human mind always craves for something done by his superiors, like actors wish to direct films, directors wish to produce films and producers want to direct films. Remember the Gujarati proverb- ” Jeno kaam teno thaay, bija kare so gotha khaay” ? ( जेनो काम तेनो थाय, बीजा करे सो गोता खाय ). Most artists wisely give up what they feel they are not skilled to do. Manna Dey, G.M.Durrani, S.D.Batish, Snehal Bhatkar, Amirbai Karnataki, Shanta Apte, Kishore Kumar and few others learnt the lesson in short time and went back to their real expertise field !

Today’s song is from a less known film- Mordhwaj-1952. This was a Mythological film, about a less known incident which happened during the Ashwamedh Yadnya by Pandavas, after they won the Kurukshetra war against the Kauravas, with the help of Shri Krishna.

Seeing religious films had many advantages. When I was very young I had to see, not by choice, such films while taking a group of family elders to the Theatres. Initially, I was happy, then reluctant and later on an interested person. First it increases your knowledge about your religion. Most children knew about religion through what was taught in the books or told by the elders in the families. I mean, this was the situation some decades ago, when I was a school boy, i.e. the 40’s and the 50’s. Nowadays, the school books do not have stories from Religion and there are no elders in 90% of the families.

Somewhere in the late 2011 AK ji, of Songsofyore.com, had written on this Blog about the importance of NFS. After reading his views, I too wrote a rather lengthy comment supporting the inclusion of NFS on this Blog. Our contention was that, prior to Hindi Film Music becoming popular all over India, it was those ghazals, Geets and Bhajans, privately sung and recorded by various artists which had ruled the tastes of music lovers. In fact many famous singers had recorded NFS in the beginning phase of their singing careers. Some names are Talat Mehmood, Saigal, Pankaj Mullick, Jagmohan and Juthika Roy !

Today’s song is from a failed, potent comedy film Andher Nagari Chaupat Raja-1955.

The film was made by Chitramahal, Bombay and produced by Ashalata Biswas- ex wife of Music Director Anil Biswas. Though she had separated from Anil Biswas in 1954 itself, she continued using his surname till she was in films. The film was directed by Shamim Bhagat, about whom my guess is that he may be Ashalata Biswas’s brother. Her name before marriage was Meharunnisa Bhagat. The Music Director of this film was Avinash Vyas, ably assisted by Sanmukh babu Upadhyaya, who later on became an independent MD for film Lalkar-1956. He gave music to only 7 Hindi films, mostly B and C grade films. The cast of the film was Chitra, Amarnath, Gope, Umadevi and many others.

Today’s song is from the film Naulaakha Haar-1953.

Making films on folklore – well known or less known – is easy, because a lot of liberties can be taken while making the film. There is no copyright or any authentic version of any folklore. The same story may circulate in different regions/states in a different garb. Film Naulaakha Haar-1953 was also based on the love story of Alha- Udal.

Mukesh and his Composers – 40

Coming to next part of this series, we take up the case of composer Shreekant Telang for whom Mukesh again has a solitary song. The film is “Santoshi Maa Ki Mahima” whose records were released in 1975, but for some unknown reason the film itself was released in 1981 with an altered name “Sampoorna Santoshi Maa Ki Mahima”.

With some difficulty, I was able to trace the movie and here it is. However, it is sans any songs. The titles are available, and thus we are able to confirm the film since the singers, composers and lyricist are known.
