This is a lovely song by Mukesh under Salil Chowdhary in an unreleased film by Mitti Ka Dev. The film& #39;s reels were destroyed in a fire. Hence it couldn& #39;t see the light of the day. The lyrics were by Gulzar. https://youtu.be/2KpPC6mVeuE ">https://youtu.be/2KpPC6mVe...
As it happened, Gulzar later used the lyrics for a video song directed by Meghna Gulzar. The song, however, had a different tune. Song and music by Jagjit Singh. https://youtu.be/2KpPC6mVeuE ">https://youtu.be/2KpPC6mVe...
In between, there is another version of the same lyrics, this time tuned by R D Burman, and sung by Asha Bhosle. https://youtu.be/kJvnL9Rybrg ">https://youtu.be/kJvnL9Ryb...
As it happened, the original Salil Chowdhary tune had a Bengali version too, and was sung by Mukesh. But apparently it didn& #39;t feature in any film (not sure of this part). https://youtu.be/tUwroPlUmkU ">https://youtu.be/tUwroPlUm...
The story doesn& #39;t end here. Salil da used the same tune for a Hindi song for a never-made Bengali movie Ashwamedher Ghoda. Lyrics by Yogesh, & sung by KJ Yesudas.
Dunno whether any other tune & lyrics had gone through so many permutations & combinations. https://youtu.be/_-OXMFKcg9Y ">https://youtu.be/_-OXMFKcg...
