1949, in my opinion, is the pinnacle of Hindi film music. Many a music directors, lyricists and singers, wrote their histories in this year. There has been great music both before and after this singular year. But the numbers and quality of music from this year, simply speaks for itself.

Today I am posting the next song by Mukesh, from the year 1949. The film is ‘Lekh’. Given that this film stars the famous pairing of that era – Motilal and Suraiyyaa, I am guessing that this film must have been one of the successes of its time. Maybe so, but today, the name sounds unfamiliar and obscure.

I am sure the readers are kind of wary by now, of the delays and gaps between the posts that I am able to prepare and send to Atul ji for publication. Multiple reasons I can ascribe to this irregularity, but I depend on the indulgence of all of you, and the joys of uncertainties too.

Yesterday I had posted a lovely duet song from the film ‘O Jaanewaale’ (1948). With reference to certain online resources, Mahesh ji wanted to check whether the music director behind this song is Pankaj Mullick. I was surprised to see this query. But I was able to unravel it quickly. Appears that the online resource that Mahesh ji referred to has an error. The name of the film is correct, but the remaining details are picked from a Geet Kosh entry that is one after this film. Hence the confusion. This is a careless error in transcription from the printed source to the web based page displays.

‘O Jaanewaale’ is kind of an unheard film from 1948. Searching for the next installment in this series of Mukesh songs, I come across this film, which probably I would have simply overlooked otherwise. Produced under the banner of Navhind Pictures, Bombay, it is directed by S Sardesai. The star cast includes Geeta Desai, Trilok Kapoor, Umakant, Pande, Mehar Sultana, Manchi Thoothi, RB Rohini, and Master Chandrakant. The music of this film is by a music director whose name sounds totally unfamiliar – Ali Hussain Moradabadi, a name that appears on this blog for the first time today. The film has seven songs, penned by three poets by the names Kaifi, Mustafa an S Sardesai. However, there is no specific information that links a poet’s name to each song.

“Dev Kanya” (1963) was a Sur Sagar chitra production. It was directed by S N Tripathi. the movie had Mahipal, Anita Guha, B. M. Vyas, Krishna Kumari, Babu Raje, Mukri etc in it.

Today (8 september 2013) is the 80th birth anniversary of Asha Bhonsle. On this occasion, here is a forgotten musical gem from this equally forgotten movie. This song is a duet which is sung by Asha Bhonsle and Mukesh. B D Mishra is the lyricist. Music is composed by S N Tripathi.
