Mukesh sings for Super Star Rajesh Khanna of Indian Cinema
.jpeg)
Mukesh has sung few songs for Super Star Rajesh Khanna and all of them are great songs.
Songs :
1) Song Title : Maine tere liye hi saat rang ke sapne
http://youtu.be/SC8DuvNCjbY
Movie : Anand - 1971
Singer : Mukesh
Lyricist : Gulzar
Music Director : Salil Chaudhary
Song picturised on Super Star Rajesh Khanna.
Star Cast : Super Star Rajesh Khanna, Amitabh Bachchan, Sumita Sanyal, Ramesh Deo & Seema Deo.
Super Star Rajesh Khanna plays the character of a cancer patient in this movie, he knows he’s going to die and has just a couple of months left to live. But he doesnt let that dampen his spirits. On the contrary, he tries living his life to the fullest. I wont start with the dialogues all over again. I wont be able to stop at one or two if I do. I’ve seen this movie so many times but I was never sure who this song was actually meant for (in fact never thought about it). When he gets his jhola and refers before starting the second antara, there’s a hint of sadness, loneliness in his eyes. He doesnt have a heroine paired opposite to him here though he mentions a girl who he was in love with. Is he thinking of her while singing this song or is he singing this to himself, to his life. Now the more I listen to it the more I feel it’s Anand’s life from his point of view. Both Mukesh and Super Star Rajesh Khanna have done an outstanding job and brought out the right emotions in this song.
2) Song Title : Kahin door jab din dhal jaaye

It’s quite a strange thing that Mukesh has sung two songs for Super Star Rajesh Khanna in the same movie which are very top songs. This is the only time we see Anand (Super Star Rajesh Khanna) sad, weak and vulnerable in the movie. It’s so poignant – the setting sun, the longing : longing for life and what couldn’t be his, there’s so much of sadness in it and yet it’s so beautiful and so soothing.
3) Song Title : Jis gali mein tera ghar na ho baalma

http://youtu.be/o6niIzcjGa0
Movie : Kati Patang - 1970
Singer : Mukesh
Lyricist : Anand Bakshi
Music Director : R.D. Burman
Song picturised on Asha Parekh & Super Star Rajesh Khanna
Another favourite Mukesh-on-Rajesh Khanna song of mine. I grew up listening to this song but saw it for the first time only while watching the movie. And Kati Patang is among the movies I saw right after Amar Prem. And this was the first time I was listening to Mukesh and watching Rajesh Khanna on screen, it kind of felt odd. He declares his love to his best friend’s widow, with a style and a charm that was uniquely his. Any girl would be on cloud nine listening to someone sing such beautiful poetry to her, but Asha, impersonating her friend, holds herself back but that doesnt discourage him a bit.
4) Song Title : Phool aahista pheko
http://youtu.be/J_RLTi5ufCI
Movie : Prem Kahani - 1975
Singer : Mukesh & Muskes.
Lyricist : Anand Bakshi
Music Director : R.D. Burman.
Song picturised on Super Star Rajesh Khanna, Mumtaz & Shashi Kapoor.
This is one movie I’ve never been able to get hold of till now. But the songs, be it cheerfully romantic title track or this one, they are just terrific. And the exchange of sher-o-shayaris before the song is masha-allah!
5) Song Title : Zubaan pe dard bhari
http://youtu.be/0qTmusL11e0
Movie : Maryada - 1971
Singer : Mukesh & Lata Mangeshkar
Lyricist : Anand Bakshi

Mukesh’s voice is usually referred to as dard-bhari awaaz. And we all know, he was the best when it came to bringing out the sorrow. Nobody can sing tragic songs like him, one of the main reasons why I have resisted him for so many years. And here he is singing Zubaan pe dard bhari. I wonder if he was roped in to sing this song because of the lyrics. But whatever it may be, this song wouldn’t have been the same if somebody else had to sing it. I dont remember much of this movie (probably because I didnt find it all that great) except for the fact that Mala Sinha was in a double role. I have vague memories of Raj Kumar wandering with a cage, and just Chup ke se dil de de and this song.
6) Song Title : Dil sambhale sambhalta nahin
http://youtu.be/h81IOyTjySA
Movie : Raaz - 1967
Singer : Mukesh
Lyricist : Anand Bakshi
Music Director : Kalyanji Anandji
Song picturised on Super Star Rajesh Khanna and Amitabh Bachchan.
This is one hell of a romantic song (Mukesh doesnt sing only dard-bhare songs) and a very catchy one. It’s one of those let-me-go shaam dhalne lagi songs which I totally love. Such beautiful background (blue sky spotted with fluffy white clouds, snow-capped mountains glistening, greenery, cattles grazing) , two very good looking people romancing onscreen and two of the greatest singers singing it for them – all one has to do is just sit back and enjoy and let it’s beauty sink in. They sound so helplessly in love and that just adds to the cuteness factor of this song.
7) Bina Badra Ke Bijuria
http://youtu.be/azYclDkkGp8
Singer : Mukesh
Lyricist : Anjaan
Music Director :Kalyanji Anandji
Song picturised on Anju Mahendru, Mumtaz & Super Star Rajesh Khanna
Lyrics :
Naa To Aaj Barasaat Kaa Mausam, Binaa Badaraa Ke Bijuriyaa
mu : naa to aaj barasaat kaa mausam naa kahi chhaa_i badariyaa
phir bhi more jiyaraa me chamake are tham-tham ko_i bijuriyaa
ko : vaa-vaah-vaah toharaa javaab naahi
mu : binaa badaraa ke bijuriyaa kaise chamake
ko : ho binaa badaraa ke bijuriyaa kaise chamake
mu : kaise chamake ko_i puchhe re hamase
ko : kaise chamake ko_i puchhe re hamase
mu : ho binaa badaraa ke
ko : ho binaa badaraa ke
mu : raaho me jab gori nayanaa milaaye ke
ko : nayanaa milaaye ke
mu : muskaaye ghunghataa me mukhadaa chhipaaye ke
( to mar jaa_en ) -2 ham to qasam se qasam se
mu : binaa badaraa ke
ko : ho binaa badaraa ke
mu : kaise chamake
ko : ho binaa badaraa ke
mu : baithe ho jab mithe sapane sajaaye ke
ko : sapane sajaaye ke
mu : aise me haule se paas kabhi aaye ke
( jo bichhavaa ) -2 bajaaye de gori chham se qasam se
mu : binaa badaraa ke
ko : ho binaa badaraa ke
mu : kaise chamake
ko : ho binaa badaraa ke
