Today’s song is from a social film Hum Ek Hain-1969.

There were 3 films having this same title. They were made in 1946, 1969 and 1982. Like the same name confusion of artists, even the film titles of same name can cause confusion. This can be seen clearly if you see such films’ songs on Youtube. Well known music company SAREGAMA is well known for such confusion. When I was searching for a song from today’s film, I found a song, but it was labelled as from the film Hum Ek Hain-1946. Even photos from the 1946 film of the same title were shown on the song audio. Since the song’s mukhada and the singers’ names were as mentioned in HFGK for the 1969 song, I heard the entire song and confirmed from the lyrics that actually it was from the film Hum ek hain-1969.

This is the reason I tell people to ensure mentioning the correct year of the film along with the title, to avoid such confusion.

Kamsune/Unsune songs of Asha Bhosle – 92

We are getting closer to the triple figure mark of the rare or lesser heard songs of Asha Bhosle.

“Mere Hotho Ki Lali Jane Kisne Churali” is sung by Asha Bhosle. It is written by Indeevar and composed by Usha Khanna. The song is a cabaret/club song from “Ilzam” (1970).

The Hindi film Ilzam was released in 1970 and belongs to the action–crime drama genre. It was filmed in black and white.

The film was directed by Kamran (credited simply as Kamran) and produced by Lalitkumar C. Doshi under the banner of L.K. Productions. The story was written by Devraj Bahri, while the screenplay was handled by Kamran himself. Dialogues were written by Farooq Kaiser. Music for the film was composed by Usha Khanna, with song lyrics by Asad Bhopali and Indeevar. Editing was done by S. T. Koorani, and art direction was by J. S. Pophaly.

The principal cast was led by Dara Singh, who played a dual role as Raju and Kishan. Sanjana appeared as the female lead Rita, while Azra played Radha. Ulhas was seen as Jwalaprasad, and Prem Nath played Ajit. Other important roles were performed by Ramayan Tiwari, Jagdish Raj, Mumtaz Begum, Bela Bose, Hamida, Geeta Kaushal, Zeb Sultana, Habib, Brahmachari, Khurshid Khan, and T. Jayshree in supporting parts.

Ilzam (1970) is a crime-drama built around mistaken identity, injustice, and revenge.

The story revolves around two look-alike men, Raju and Kishan, whose lives move in completely different directions. Raju is a simple, strong-willed man with a straightforward sense of right and wrong, while Kishan is connected to a criminal environment shaped by greed and power. Circumstances beyond Raju’s control lead to him being falsely implicated in serious crimes. Because of his resemblance to Kishan, the blame for criminal acts is placed on the wrong man, and Raju becomes the victim of an unjust accusation—an ilzam (charge) that turns his life upside down.

As Raju struggles to clear his name, he faces betrayal, social humiliation, and violent opposition from those who benefit from keeping the truth hidden. Rita, his love interest, stands by him and believes in his innocence, while other characters either exploit the confusion or remain silent out of fear. The criminal forces behind the conspiracy use their influence to manipulate witnesses and the law, making it nearly impossible for Raju to prove the truth.

The narrative builds toward confrontation as Raju decides to fight back, not only to reclaim his honour but also to expose the corrupt individuals responsible for framing him. Through action, sacrifice, and dramatic revelations, the truth about the two identical men finally comes to light. The real culprits are unmasked, justice is restored, and Raju’s innocence is proven, bringing the film to a moral conclusion that condemns abuse of power and celebrates perseverance against injustice.

The song is performed and lip synced by Jayshree T.

Mukesh and his Co-Singers –16

I begin this very special post with a video of Asha Bhosale ji on her own youtube channel.

A short video wherein she speaks about her first 3 songs in Hindi Films.

I tried to trace the chronological accuracy of the songs enlisted in the video. What I found was that the films mentioned seem to be correct, but she has sung two songs in her second film and so her duet in Lekh (1949) could be her fourth and she mentions it as her third.

Sometime later, I will try to trace the exact chronology, but what matters for this post is her first duet in Hindi Films.

A duet with none other than Mukesh.

I request readers to watch the interesting video as Asha ji talks of her initial days in the industry.

I wish the video was fully on Mukesh, but then she digresses on some other topic.

Anyway, her first interaction with Mukesh is quite interesting and only reaffirms and confirms the godly title given to Mukesh, “a noble soul”.

As is evident from the video, Mukesh right from his initial days had no qualms on worldly pleasures and led a simple, honest and righteous life. No wonder the voice emanating from such a noble soul continues to enthral music lovers all over the world to this day.

Coming to this post, I call it special as it is my 100th Mukesh post on the blog.

Today I introduce a song from a movie which makes a debut on this blog. The movie I am talking about is “Laila” released in 1984 and the song is a fast romantic one sung by Kishore Kumar – “Ho Gaye Deewane Tum Ko Dekh Kar”.

The 1984 film Laila is a romantic drama directed by Saawan Kumar Tak. It is notably remembered as one of the early films of Anil Kapoor’s career, though its release was slightly delayed, leading to Woh 7 Din being his official debut as a leading man.

In this post I am presenting a ‘club-dance-song’ sung by Suman Kalyanpur. I came across this song only yesterday. Songs are this genre is mostly sung by Asha Bhonsle and we have been listening to many such Asha Bhonsle songs on this blog these days. So when I came across this song in the voice of Suman Kalyanpur I thought I should present it here.

I have no idea how many such songs Suman Kalyanpur has sung in Hindi Films. This song is picturised as a typical 1970s club dance song on Jayshree T.

Today, December 31, 2025, is the 7th Remembrance Day of Writer-Actor Kader Khan who created a niche for himself in the midst of Hindi film’s first super star writer duo, Salim Javed. In fact, he went one step ahead of them as he was also a prolific character actor of various shades.

The life profile of Kader Khan ( 22/10/1937 – 31/12/2018) is an inspiring one. It is one more of ‘rags to riches’ stories of artists in Hindi film industries. He was born in Kabul but due to poverty, his family shifted to Mumbai and stayed in Kamathipura area in Mumbai. Soon, he lost his mother when he was an infant. His step mother ensured that Kader Khan completes his education. In the midst of extreme poverty, he completed his matriculation and joined Ismail Yusuf College in science stream. After passing Civil Engineering, he got a job as a lecturer in Saboo Siddik College of Engineering on a monthly salary of Rs.300/-. He worked as a lecturer for about seven years up to 1975.
