This post is a special post that celebrates the 400th song of Mukesh on this blog. Given that the total list of all known recordings of songs by Mukesh ji is just a little below one thousand (including all songs from Hindi films – 861, all songs from regional language films – 62, and non film renditions – 69), we are very close to hosting 50% of all the known film songs of Mukesh here. The numbers listed above are all the songs that are currently identified and for which the recordings are available. There definitely are more songs that have been recorded, but that have not been released and are not available, at least at present. Maybe someday, more songs may be uncovered and brought into circulation, but the thinking is that the number of such songs may not be very large in any case.

It is one of those songs that I liked a lot without having an inkling of its details. The fact that the song was sung by Kishore Kumar was all that mattered. Of course, I assumed that a song this popular could only be an R D Burman composition.

Singing filmy songs is a career not only for playback singers but also for small time beggars etc in real life. We in these pages have discussed beggars singing Hindi movie songs on Mumbai local trains. I wonder if beggars still sing such songs on these locals, seeing how crowded these train are. Singing these songs on the roadside, or typically while seated under a tree on the streets is a much better option.
