Lata’s breakthrough featured Mukesh’s vocals

Majboor – which released in 1948 – was regarded as Lata Mangeshkar’s big break in Hindi films.

The songs of the film were composed by Ghulam Haider (who later migrated to Pakistan*). Mangeshkar considered him her godfather.

The only song from the film in my collection was Ab Darne Ki Koi Baat Nahin.

The man who joined her behind the microphone for it was the one and only Mukesh.

Nazim Panipati wrote the song.

(*Note: Born in Hyderabad, Sind, in 1908, he died of throat cancer in Lahore at the age of 45 on November 9, 1953.)
