Vidya (1948).
Dev has had almost all the leading playback singers of that era sing for him but Mukesh has been an exception. Except for this one track.

2. Ae dil kahan teri manzil (Dwijen Mukherjee/ Salil Chowdhary)
Film: Maya (1960)
Though S.D. Burman was the in-house music director for Navketan and almost exclusively composed music for all Navketan movies, Dev did have some notable hits by other music directors. One such movie was Maya, with an impeccable soundtrack by Salil Chowdhary. Rafi was Dev’s preferred voice at the time (he remains my favorite voiceover for Dev) but Salilda was known to prefer Talat. Not sure why he got Dwijen Mukherjee for this song, but I’m so glad he did because it’s a beautiful one. Lyrics are by Majrooh Sultanpuri.

3. Mujhe le chalo (Rafi/ Madan Mohan) Lyrics: Rajinder Krishen
Film: Sharabi (1964)
Dev played Keshav, an alcoholic who keeps turning back to drink as his life becomes miserable perpetuating the cycle. He turned in an impressive performance but the movie failed. This was Madhubala’s last release. This song conveys perfectly his state of mind as he regrets ever turning to the vile habit and longs for the days before he did.
