Nazar Mila Ke Nazar Chhurana....

Nazar Mila Ke Nazar Chhurana- Lata Mangeshkar- Film Anurag 1956- Lyrics Kaifi Azmi-  MD Mukesh Mathur

Like Talat Mahmood amd Kishor Kumar, Mukesh also  entered Hindi film world to become an actor-singer like their idol K.L.Saigal. Except Kishore Kumar who tasted success in both acting and singing field, Talat Mahmood and Mukesh were not so successful as actors. Talat tried his hand in acting in films like Malik, Ek Gao ki Kahani ,Lala Rookh, Waris , Sone Ki Chidiyan and a guest role in film Aaram. All these films made average business on box office. Similarly Mukesh also appeared on screen in films like Aah (Guest Role),  Nirdosh (Opposite Nalini Jaywant), Adab E Arj , Mashooqa (Opposite Suraiyya), and Anurag opposite Usha Kiran and Mrudula Rani. He was also co-producer and composer of film Anurag.

All the above films in which Mukesh made screen appearance failed to make any impact on the box office. At last just like Talat Mahmood , Mukesh also decided to concentrate on singing career. As a music composer of film Aurag, he gave stellar performance. The songs of the film were appreciated by music lovers although they were not raging hit among masses.

The film had nine Songs

1) Koi Dil mein Hai Koi Nazarmein - Mukesh

2) Nazar Mila Ke Nazar Chhurana- Lata

3) Ab Ham Tumhe Sunanewale Hai- Shamshad Begum, Madhubala zaveri

4) Pal Bhar Ki Pehchan- Mukesh

5) Jisne Pyar Kiya Uska Dushman zamana- Lata

6) Ho Saka Na Do Dilonka Mel- Mukesh

7) Tere Bin Soona Soona Lage- Lata 

8) Man Chal Man Chanchal Ho Jayega- Lata

9) Ye kaisi Uljhanein Hai- Lata

Although no videos of these songs are available, these songs can be listened as audio form (Except last song)

All Lata's solo songs and " Pal Bhar Ki Pehchhan" song by Mukesh are superbly composed and treat to the ears. This is the only film of Mukesh as composer. Afterwards he turned to singing only.
