The actor-singer beginnings

His early film Nirdosh combined acting and singing, a useful reminder that a famous playback voice can emerge from several kinds of screen work. The song Dil Hi Bujha Hua Ho To belongs to this formative period.

A listening route through Mukesh’s recordings

The label’s catalogue offers several starting points: Aawara Hoon from Awaara, Kisi Ki Muskurahaton Se from Anari, Kahin Door Jab Din Dhal Jaye from Anand and the songs of Kabhi Kabhie. These connect his voice with different films and characters; they are an editorial listening route rather than a popularity chart.
