I have posted many Mukesh solo songs in this blog, and most of them were “sad” songs of different denominations and varieties. This particular song is a duet, and moreover, it is not a sad song. So here is a Mukesh song, sung with Lata from “Dharti Kahe Pukaar ke” that can surely qualify to be called a gem.

Ever since I started following Bollywood movies, I have been hearing that Bollywood songs basically show Hero and Heroine running around trees. All these days I was curious to see one such song.

1972 was the year when many Bollywood movie makers decided to hitch the bandwagon turned Juggernaut of Kishore Kumar- RD Burman combination. And the result were some movies that had music by R D Burman and songs by Kishore, but the movies themselves were no great shakes.

Pyaar hua hai jabse

What do I say about this song ? It was a big favourite of mine as well as that of others. But those days one could only listen what was played on radio and loudspeakers. So as a song stopped playing on these media, one tended to forget the song.

Jab tak rahe tan mein jiya

This is a song that was quite well known to me, but those days I never knew which movie this song was from. It was only recently that I came to know that this movie was called “Samadhi”.
In those days prior to VCR/ Video players, the only way to watch a movie was on the big screen. It mostly meant watching the movie on cinema halls. Some times though, some people/ clubs would sponsor movies that would be shown at night on open space for free.

Gum hai kisi ke pyaar mein

This movie “Rampur ka Laxman” is by and large forgotten by now. It had many newcomers in it, including Randhir Kapoor, Rekha, Shatrughan Sinha etc.
Movie may have been forgotten by now, but its songs are not. Though the songs were supposed to be timepass songs, many of them became popular not only during their time, but stayed popular with the passage of time as well. It speaks for the quality of these songs and their creators that we still like to listen to these songs.

I was under the impression that Kishore Kumar, who sang almost all varieties of songs, never sang a qawwaali, and that the closest to a qawwali that he sang was “kabhi bekhudi ne maara” from “alag alag”. Now I stand corrected. Kishore Kumar did sing at least one proper qawwaali and it was in a 1973 movie called ” Anokhi Ada”. And it was quite a popular qawwali too. I wonder how this fact had slipped from my mind.

Tauba ye matwaali chaal

Mukesh, known for his melancholic songs, sings a romantic song ( Shringaar ras song is an appropriate hindi word) for Manoj Kumar praising the beauty and walk of Mumtaz and Waheeda Rahman. Unlike how a typical Indian lady would react on such an approach, Mumtaz and Waheeda respond with an almost unreal sportingness.
