During the early 70s when I got interested in Hindi film songs of the golden era. I had heard from my seniors in this field talking about singers, music directors and lyricists of 30s and 40s with some anecdotes. While, I had almost forgotten many of the unfamiliar names over a period of time until the advent of the internet technology, one of very few names which firmly remained in my mind was that of D N Madhok. From their discussions, I had then realised that he must have been an influential lyricist of his time. He was stated to be one of very few lyricists of that time who used to give lyrics to music director with tunes. While this may be a boon for the struggling music directors, my guess is that the established and self-respecting music directors must have surely resented his ‘value addition’ to the lyrics. One of the music directors of the 40s ( I am not very sure but it was probably Shyam Sundar) had a tiff with him on this issue and he never worked with him.

Remembering Sardul Kwatra on the anniversary of his passing away (6th July, 2005).
Sardul Kwatra – An impressive and talented composer who failed to impress, in a film world where the sheer number of artists in the 1950s and 60s made it impossible for each one to make a mark. However, in their own limited ways, such artists have left behind musical memories that are no less remarkable. And the wonder is the treasure that is hiding in the obscure, unheard songs that simply did not come to the attention of the listening public for many a reason.

Gobindram getting Mukesh to sing for as many as six songs. Three of these songs are solo, and three duets. On this blog, we have already posted the three solo songs, and two of the duets (with Suraiyyaa). Here is the third duet, and the sixth Mukesh song from this film. The accompanying voice in this song is that of Rajkumari.
