"Saranga" [1960] is an Indian Hindi film directed by Dhirubhai Desai.
Starring Sudesh Kumar, Jayshree Gadkar, Nilofar, B.M. Vyas and Niranjan Sharma.
Music is by Sardar Malik and lyrics by Bharat Vyas...........
Mukesh Chand Mathur (Hindi: मुकेश चन्द माथुर) (22 July 1923 to 27 August 1976) was an Indian playback singer of Bollywood. Along with Mohammed Rafi, Ahmed Rushdi, Manna Dey and Kishore Kumar, he was one of the leading male Indian subcontinent playback singers from the 1950s to the 1970s.
Mukesh was born in Punjab, in a small middle class family. His father Lala Zorawar Chand Mathur was an engineer. His mother was Chand Rani. He was the sixth in a family of ten children. The music teacher who came home to teach Mukesh's sister Sundar Pyari, found a pupil in Mukesh who would listen from the adjoining room. He had a younger brother Parmeshwari Das. Mukesh left school after the 10th standard and worked briefly for the Delhi Department of Public Works. Mukesh experimented with voice recordings during his employment in Delhi and gradually developed his singing abilities...............
Mukesh's voice was noticed by Motilal (a popular actor in Hindi films, also a distant relative of Mukesh) when he sang at his sister's wedding. Motilal took him to Bombay, let him stay with him and even arranged for singing lessons by pandit jagannath prasad for him. During this period, Mukesh managed to bag a role in a Hindi film, Nirdosh (Innocent) (1941). His first song was dil hi bujha hua ho to as an actor singer for Nirdosh. He got his break as a playback singer for Actor Motilal himself in 1945 with the film Pehli Nazar'music by Anil Biswas & Lyrics by Aah Sitapuri' (First Look). The first song he sang for a Hindi film was Dil Jalta Hai to Jalne De (If the heart burns, let it burn), which was incidentally picturised on Motilal.
Mukesh was such a big fan of K. L. Saigal that in his early years of playback singing he used to imitate his idol. In fact, it is said that when K. L. Saigal first heard the song Dil Jalta Hai to Jalne De, he said "That's strange, I don't recall singing that song"................
Mukesh died of a heart attack on 27 August 1976 in Detroit, Michigan, USA, where he had gone for a concert. His body was carried back to India by Lata Mangeshkar, where a grand funeral ceremony took place as many famous actors, personalities of the Indian film industry, and fans paid tribute to the late singer. When the news of his death reached Raj Kapoor, he remarked, "I have lost my voice," which is a testimony to the timeless and unforgettable association of Mukesh's voice (in playback) to the immensely popular songs of Raj Kapoor's films................

Sardar Malik composed 21 songs in Saranga & all were good. The songs particularly sung by Mukesh were excellent.

@yuanyuanyuanyin Mukesh's version is with heavier orchestra while Rafi's is with Harmonium only. See how much you can find (in & out) with me around? I think time for me to go.....yes? Lol.

Hello Yuan and TY. Though bad choice of actors in it, this film I believe had 14 or 16 songs. Very unusual. Though he gave superb music throughout 1950's, Music Director Sardar Malik is remembered only by this film. This song was also sung by Rafi. A real short version but well sung.
