Mukesh and his Composers – 41

Today, 22 July is Mukesh’s birthday (22 July 1923 – 27 August 1976).

Much has been written on him in my various posts.

Hence, coming to the next part of this series, we take up the case of composer duo Sapan Sengupta and Jagmohan Bakshi known popularly as Sapan Jagmohan. They are so popular by this name that every time, one is compelled to ponder whether they are one or two people.

Mukesh and his Actors – 07

As we draw towards the last few HF songs of Mukesh, it is becoming increasingly difficult to trace his unposted songs on the blog.

Of late, I pick up an artist (actor, co-singer, composer) and start the rigorous search on the blog to see if all the respective songs are covered. In this exercise, I am also realizing that I have myself covered the artist in one of my series in the past. 😊

Of course, I am yet to cover Raj Kapoor, Lata, Asha, and three duo-composers for whom Mukesh sang songs aplenty. The issue with such artists is that I must spend considerable time preparing the lengthy tables. However, they are quite important, and I will try to take up these marathon posts shortly. I am even contemplating breaking the songs decade-wise so that it is easy for me to cover them. Let me see what best can be done.

Mukesh and his Composers – 40

Coming to next part of this series, we take up the case of composer Shreekant Telang for whom Mukesh again has a solitary song. The film is “Santoshi Maa Ki Mahima” whose records were released in 1975, but for some unknown reason the film itself was released in 1981 with an altered name “Sampoorna Santoshi Maa Ki Mahima”.

With some difficulty, I was able to trace the movie and here it is. However, it is sans any songs. The titles are available, and thus we are able to confirm the film since the singers, composers and lyricist are known.

Mukesh and his Actors – 06

Navin Nischol was amongst the new breed of actors to grace the silver screen from the early 70’s. He made his debut with the film Sawan Bhadon (1970) in which he was paired with none other than Rekha who was also making her debut in Hindi films.

His popular films and even more popular songs are well known. Without going into the details of his films and his successful foray into television media, I direct readers to his wiki page where ample details are provided.

In this post, we shall deal with Mukesh’s playback for Navin Nischol. There are only 3 films in which Mukesh sang a total of 5 songs for him. Here is the table of their collaboration.

Mukesh and his Composers – 39

Coming to the next part of this series, I take up a solo song by Mukesh from the film Parmatma released in 1978. It was directed by Chand and had Shatrughan Sinha, Rekha, Pradeep Kumar, Aruna Irani, Ranjeet, Dev Kumar, Jagdish Raj, Chand Usmani, Helen and others in the cast. The music was by K. Babuji and lyrics by Indeevar.

Again, not much information is available on the music director K. Babuji. It appears Mukesh has sung only one song for him.

Mukesh and his Composers – 38

Ek raat mein do do chaand khile
ek ghoonghat mein ek badli mein

Who has not heard this lovely romantic duet featuring Nanda and Anant Marathe?

The poet talks about a moon in the ghoonghat and another amongst the clouds. Nanda with her reticent and infectious crescent moon smile is all over the song.

Have I written about Nanda? Well, maybe just a comment here and there.

Many of her songs come to mind instantly but that will have to wait for another day to see if I can pull off a post on her career.

Coming to the topic in hand, today we shall see the collaboration of Mukesh with famed composer Chitragupt aka “King of Duets”.

Mukesh and his Composers – 37

The name of SN Tripathi evokes fond memories of melody and good music amongst avid HF music lovers. He was a multitalented personality who contributed to composing, singing, acting, storytelling, direction, screenplay writing, filmmaking etc.

Despite contributions in many fields of film making, he is best known as a music director. He gave music to mainly B grade mythological and historical movies, but these movies had A grade songs for us to cherish.

Mukesh and his Composers – 36

Today, we shall take up the case of a rather unknown music director, Prem Kumar.
He has a solitary unreleased film to his credit. Only two solo songs are available in the voice of Mukesh and Mahendra Kapoor.

The film name is Paisa aur Zindagi which was in the making circa 1973. Not many details are available of any the cast of this film. Myswar has whatever details are available of this unreleased film.

Mukesh and his Co-Singers –14

I have covered Mukesh’s songs composed by Sharda in my previous post.

I have also tried to cover many aspects of her career, but a few more details remain. A lot can be written about her association with Shankar and the various gossips and stories. But then, what is also known is that Sharda never revolted or reacted to these. She continued her life and career with whatever she came across. As such, a thought ran through my mind that it is better to stick to facts and statistics rather than the personal lives of artists.
We all have our likes and dislikes. I am not particularly fond of Sharda’s voice. But, then in many of her songs there is this unconventional, distinctive childish texture in her voice. In many songs that she sang this was a welcome change and did manage to capture the attention of music lovers. In an era where heroines were evolving into more mature roles and free expressions, such a voice suited their antics on the screen.

Mukesh and his Composers – 35

Who was the first woman music director in Indian films?

Well, to the unversed but having some intertest in HFM, Usha Khanna’s name would crop up in the mind. To the more learned ones, Saraswati Devi would be the answer. To experts, it would be Jaddanbai, the mother of legendary actress Nargis.

However, the credit goes to Ishrat Sultana aka Bibbo, who was the composer of Adl-e-Jahangir released in 1934. Jaddan Bai’s score for Talash-e-Haq was a year later in 1935.
