This is just an attempt to cover 20 best numbers of **Kishore Da- All
Rounder**.Kishore Kumar was indeed an all rounder. Acting, Singing,
Dancing or Music Composing.
Nota Bene:-As usual I promise a very informative review focussing the facts which you might .I said might not be knowing.
Hey.buddies so lets not waste the precious time on the web.
From my hobby book I could finally find these 20 numbers enlisted here in their
priority order.
Yup! It was a tough job indeed.
1) Tum Bin Jaoon Kahan-Aa Gale Lag Jaamy favourite
Shashi kapoor, Sharmila Tagore.great music .great movie.
I never dare to sing this number on stage its too difficult.to sing.
But B-U-T remind you this movie had two versions of the same
song.one sung by Rafi Sahab and another Kishore Da.
Kishore Da and Rafi Sahab were equally good in Janu Meri Jaan-Shaan.
But Rafi Sahab clearly excelled in the Sa Re Gama - CHupke Chupke
Track coz it has variations which need classical knowledge in which
Kishore Da was nill and Rafi Sahab was best only next to Manna Dey.
This was the time for the revenge. He did it.Tum Bin Jaoon Kahan in
Kishore Kumar's voice was a major hit leaving Rafi Sahab's Number far
behind though both were of different moods.
Kishore and Mohd Rafi cannot .just cannot be compared. They both
were masters in their talents. If any of them could be that .that
strong we would have had a MR Lata .too .one for all.isnt It?
2) EK Hasina Thi -Karz
Karz - The boost in Subhash Ghai's career, the beautiful
picturization made this song up to the mark.
Laxmikanthji -Pyarelalji made that uncomparable music and there
onwards they were the only choice of his films till
Pardes(Nadeem-Shravan)
3) Chingari Koi Bhadke-Amar Prem
Beautiful piece by R.D.Burman. Anand Bakshi's lyrics was truly a
worthlistening ones.remembered those Kaka Rajesh Khanna Days.
I love the words:-
Mana Toofan ke aage
Nahi chalta zor kisika
Maujo ka dosh nahi hai
Yeh DOsh hai aur kisika
MajhDhar mein naiya dole toh maajhi paar lagaye!
Maajhi jo naav dooboye use kaun bachaye!
4) Chehraa Hai Ya-Sagar
Ask the guitar fans and this is their choice. The song starts with a
master piece followed by a very romantic voice .Kishore Da.
Rahul Dev Burman again.the king of late 80's
5) Pag Ghungroo Bandh - Namak Halal
So those who believe in Kishore Kumar also know that hez damn good in
singing fast track with a bit of humor in it.
The songs starts nicely but moves to a very different pitch in
between(Mausamein Ishq mein.) showing how Kishore Da can manage
both the Pitch simultaneously. Music By Bappi Lahiri.
6) Jaane Jaa Dhoondta
A very pacy song .with Ashaji and RD Burman which is a worth
listening number.
It Delights you .with those lines when Ashaji says Dil Machalne
laga and kishore da's'Hey' Follows .worth listening duet.
7) Mere Mehboob Qayamat -Mr X in Bombay
Picturized on himself.This track is from Mr X in Bombay the
original version of Mr India.based on the novel The Invisible Man
Kishore Da found it very difficult to make it in the world of
Playback singing those days .when Talat Mehmood, Mohd Rafi, Mukesh
and Mannadey were at their best.so he used to sing only for himself.
8) Dil Kya Kare- Julie
So when Hrithik's Uncle Rajesh Roshan approached Kishore Da for
Julie.it was rare combination which gave such a beautiful number.
8) Tu Tu hai Wohi- Yeh Wada Raha
Hey not the remix please.just listen to this number from Yeh Wada
Raha.late 80's again.and tell me thousand times better than the
remixes.
This ones often found in the Valentine Hits collections nowadays.
10) Manzilein apni jagah hai - Sharabi
Big B indeed. As if kishore Da's voice was made for him.
The pitch was very low and Kishore Da who was famous for his Doodlie
Doos made it by literally cryin' like what Rafi Sahab was famous for.
This number was for Bappi Lahiri's Music which paid Bappi a filmfare
that year. Sharabi and Namak Halal were the hits of the year.
11) Tere Mere Milan Ki -Abhimaan
This song will definetly remind you of its picturization.
Abhimaan is the movie.a very challenging work for Kishore Da.
Lata was kept constant while the male songs of this movie was sung by
Rafi Sahab, Mukesh Ji and KIshore Da. Prestige Issue after all.
12) Tere Bina Zindagi Se-Aandhi
Gulzar Days .happy days.were there again.music styles were
changed by Khayyam and RD had to accept the slow n sweet new trend
which emphasised more on Lyrics and singing capability.
This track along with Tum aagaye Ho were the key assets to pull the
crowd in the cinema hall.
13) Phoolon ke rang se
Picturized on Dev Anand who constantly changed his voice.
Started with Hemant Kumar and Talat Mehmood. Became a star with Rafi
Sahab's Voice when KIshore Kumar himself was an actor and then ended
his star career with Kishore Da's Voice.
14) Tu Auro Ki Kyu Hogayee- Ek Baar Muskara Do
Wow what a classic solo.you'll hardly pay attention to the music.
Inspite of its very fast pace it was very nicely and comfortably
sung. This is a challenging number for performers in competitions. It
was a major hit. Deb Mukherjee(Brother of Joy Mukherjee) was the lead
actor with Tanuja. The Movie was a hit and this song too.
15) Meri Bheegi Bheegi Si-Anamika
Sanjeev Kumar with Jaya Bachchan .this song .Ohhh One of its kind.
16)Chalte Chalte-Title Track
Dev Anand's brother was launched and with no second thought this song
by Bappi Lahiri was handed to Kishore Kumar. Was a huge Hit all over.
17)Dekha Ek Khwab To-Silsila
Yash Chopra movies as we know are seen specially for its song. They
Say Yashji has got a very good sense of Music. Specially romantic
numbers. This is one of the all time hits from his movies. Kishore Da
with Lata Ji
Shiv-Hari were the music directors. Remind you Shiv is santoor master
Pandit ShivKumar SHarma and Hari is FLute master Pandit Hariprasad
Chaurasia. They are the two maestros in Indian CLassical Music. Hmmm
hence the music of SIlsila, Chandni and Darr are so melodious.
18)Khilte Hai Gul Yahan- Sharmilee
Shashi Kapoor used to have dual voice in his movies. Few hits from
his movies had voice of Rafi Sahab few by Kishore Da.
19) Humein Tumse Pyar Kitna- Kudrat
Rajesh Khanna and Hema Malini in Kudrat. Either Kishore Da was lucky
to have Amitabh, Dev Anand and Rajesh Khanna three superstars backing
him or the other way round. But Who cares .they gave hit after hits
isnt it.
20) Agar Tum Na Hote
Kakka Rajesh Khanna-Raj Babbar-Rekha Starrer movie. This title track
of the movie was the only song which was even the theme of the movie.
BMG Crescendo had the rights for the movie which is the reason you'll
never find this song in Kishore Kumar Compilations because major
songs of Kishore Da were on HMV(Now SareGama) and few even with
PolyGram(Now Universal).
Ahhh! NOw im tired .trust me.I wrote it all at once.The list
just popped out of my brain. Please mail me if any of the
information misleads in any sense.
Thanks for reading. And If you liked it check out my other reviews
too. I'll be soon writing review on my favourite singer Kumar Sanu
soon .So Be Ready!
Happy Deepawali to all of you all!
