An amazing song, a truly amazing song. The arrangement of the music and the play of the singing voices as the song moves from one singer to another to chorus, with multiple combinations. This turned out to be a difficult song to transcribe. 🙂

Getting others to part with their money is not an easy task and it is quite a skilful job. It is interesting to notice that people who haggle with Rikhshaw wala for petty amount of sum leave much bigger amount in tips at supposedly high end places. People who may not bother to donate money for genuine causes think nothing before donating for fashionable causes.

We come to 1948 now. From the previous years, i.e. from 1942 to 1947, all songs of Mukesh, as per current records, are now posted on this blog. With one exception. I am still trying to trace the Mukesh – Shamshad Begum duet from ‘Laakhon Mein Ek’, the one song still to be posted for 1947.

Chaar Chaand -1953 was one of those non-descript movies which leave no trace behind them, once they go off the screen.

I had not seen this film and I did not get any information about this film anywhere on the net or in any books or magazines. With a star cast of B grade, like Shyama, Suresh, Bhagwan, Shaikh, Majnu, Cuckoo etc, even its production banner was not well known- Fine art films, Bombay.

Lata Mangeshkar sang only 11 duets with G M Durrani. 6 out of these 11 have been sung in 1948-49. In the book ‘Lata Mangeshkar …. in her own voice – Conversations with Nasreen Munni Kabir’ (2009), she has mentioned that her first song for Naushad was a duet with G M Durrani haay chhore ki zaat badi bewafaa for ‘Chaandni Raat'(1949). At that time Durrani made some personal remarks about the necklace she was wearing. She did not like his remarks and brought this to the notice of Naushad. Knowing that she was a sensitive person, Naushad replaced Durrani and took Sadat Khan for her second duet in the same film. However, this duet was edited out from the film.
