Mukesh was synonymous with dard

Rajesh Khanna got Rajendra Kumar’s Ashirwaad in the form of his Carter Road abode. And enjoyed a period of short-lived superstardom.

It was during this phase that he starred in Maryada (1971).

While my blog on the music of Hindi films released between 1969 and 1986 contained a post on an upbeat track from the film, this one – which I heard recently – was titled Zubaan Pe Dard Bhari Dastaan.

And, at that point, the crooner who usually came to mind when a song was pathos-laden was Mukesh.

Anand Bakshi penned the track, which Kalyanji-Anandji composed.
