KISHORE KUMAR OLD SONGS MOVIE

KISHORE KUMAR OLD SONGS MOVIE

The movie got released sometime in the early 1970's, but the words written by Sahir Ludhianvi, the most sensitive lyricist Hindi cinema ever had, still hold so true. In short, a situation when you are unable to decide who should get the real credit for the song - the lyricist, the composer, or the singer? This song is one such song. When I say wholesome, I mean a song that gives your soul all-round nourishment - good lyrics set to a catchy tune and a great voice that does justice to the tune as well as the poetry. The most wholesome song that Kishore Kumar has ever sung, according to me, is Tera mujhse hai pehle ka naata koi (from Aa Gale Lag Jaa). But since Kishore Kumar is one of the guiding forces of Ganga Mail, and since tomorrow happens to be his birthday, I have decided to search for an answer to mark the occasion and I think I have found an answer, after three drinks and spending two hours surfing You Tube. Readers are welcome to send in their choices, even though it's an unfair question: it's like asking a 70-year-old man to pin down the best meal he has ever had in his life. The best example is Muqaddar ka Sikander: can you ever tell whether O saathi re was sung by Kishore or Amitabh Bachchan? Bloody hell, he sounded convincing even in the throat of Amol Palekar! - Aane wala pal, jaane wala hai.Д«ut which song, according to you, is Kishore Kumar's best? The best? And Kishore Kumar lived up to his status: he made it appear as if it was the actor, be it Dev Anand or Randhir Kapoor, who was really singing the song and not him. A bike song ( Zindagi ek safar hai suhana) and a jeep song ( Mere sapnon ki raani) for Rajesh Khanna marked the reinvention of Kishore Kumar as the country's most sought-after playback singer. The other Kishore, the one I worship, arrived on the scene riding the metaphorical Sholay-type of bike (denoting friendship and partnership) with Rajesh Khanna. Though there might be exceptions, such as O.P. I wouldn't really waste my time collecting those songs. One belonged to the black and white era, the actor who also sang his own songs. It isn't, therefore, surprising, that he didn't live long entertainers like him don't. Even when he died at the age of 58, in 1987, he was still dancing on the stage in spite of having suffered two cardiac arrests. But can you imagine a doddering Kishore Kumar climbing on to the stage with the help of a walking stick - that would have gone against his very name and also nature. Tomorrow is his birthday: had he been alive, he would have been 82, perhaps leading a retired life and giving the occasional stage performance. Tomorrow, August 4, if you happen to sit in front of television for a while, you are likely to see a familiar face.
