Mukesh’s talent was j(Yah)udiciously used

Given my penchant for infusing a bit of humour into each blog post, Yeh Mera Deewanapan Hai, from Yahudi (1958), should be my signature tune.

But since my singing prowess is something that is best kept a secret, I would prefer listening to the song that was rendered by Mukesh to attempting my own version (with the emphasis on the suffix -pan, which is pronounced pun).

However, on a more serious note, Shailendra penned this track, which was composed by Shankar Jaikishan.

It earned the former the first-ever Filmfare Award for Best Lyricist in 1959.
