Mukesh’s rendition reached its destination

O Mehbooba was the most underrated song on the soundtrack of Sangam.

But there’s no two ways about the fact that it reached its manzil-e-maqsood (destination) – the memories of the listeners, where it continues to be.

 The longest of the three songs penned by Hasrat Jaipuri in the film, it was four minutes and 59 seconds long.

A track that was tailor-made for Mukesh, it (ideally) should not be attempted by mere mortals, lest they be labelled eve-teasers, albeit sophisticated ones.

Jokes apart, the song, which Shankarsingh Raghuvanshi and Jaikishan Dayabhai Panchal composed, was beautiful.
