“Jogan”(1950) was a Ranjit Film Company Production. This movie was made at a time why the studio was on the verge of bankruptcy. This movie, based on a seemingly flimsy looking story line rescued the company. Here is what Mr Arunkumar Deshmukh, our beloved inhouse encyclopaedia, has to say about this movie:-

“Magadh Raj” (1946) must be one of the most obscure Hindi movies of all time. Hardly any information is available about this movie. Songs from this movie are not available on YT either. One can come across songs like this only in one’s own offline collection if any and there too one needs to search specifically for these songs.

The Voice of Mukesh #12
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
After being the relative wilderness of unfamiliar artists from 1941 to 1944, Mukesh’s career took an upwards turn in 1945 with the release of ‘Pehli Nazar’. And 1946 turned out to be the best years thus far for him. In this year, Mukesh got singing assignments with five films. He sang for music director MA Mukhtar in the film ‘Chehraa’ – one solo and one duet with
Shamshad Begum. Both these songs have been discussed here on this blog recently, He sang a duet with Beenapani Mukherjee for the film ‘Druban’. There is a little uncertainty about the music director for this film (more about that later). Then, under the baton of Hansraj Behl, he rendered a wonderful duet with Sushila Rani for the film ‘Gwaalan’ –
Lagat Najar Tori Chalaiyya morey gore badan ko. This song also already appears on this blog. Then for the film ‘Raajputaani’, he sang a solo and a duet, under the music direction of Bulo C Rani. And lastly, he sang another duet song for music director Hanuman Prasad in the film ‘Raseeli’. Going up to seven songs in one year was a whole lot better than an average of two or three songs per year for the prior five years (1941-45).

The Voice of Mukesh #9
——————————-
Now this song is really something. The scenario that is presented in these verses, is one that would be close to the hearts of every married couple with the caveat that they live in a joint family. (Those who do not live in a joint family, of any type, may discount this experience. 🙂 ). The song is about the moments of romance that a married couple can steal, maybe in the night, when all other members are blissfully asleep. The husband reaches out to his wife, and the wife complains about all the hard work she has to manage at home during the day. The husband placates her and tries to convince her that the household chores are no big deal and for him, and that for him, she still is as beautiful as the chirpy, naughty mynah bird.
