Mahendra’s solo was sound advice

My blog on the music of Hindi films released between 1960 and 1968 contains posts on a couple of tracks from Hamraaz, which released in 1967.

Both of them were rendered by none other than Mahendra Kapoor, who also rendered the third song from the film, which is the subject of this post – Na Munh Chhupa Ke Jiyo.

It could be translated to, “There’s no point living if you have to hide your face”. And that – quite literally – was sound advice.

The track, which was penned by Sahir Ludhianvi, was composed by Ravi Shankar Sharma.
