We love the Indian Music Industry, we honestly do. It has given us some really good songs, for a number of occasions. Be it a party anthem, or a song that just sits well when we feel sombre, we have a wide array of songs to choose from. And the lyrics that are a part of those songs - man, do they give us goosebumps sometimes.
There are a lot of reasons why people just cringe at the song, especially if that guy's a Bengali. First of all, it just besmirches a classic Bengali folk song with inane trash. However, the lyrics that accompany the rest of the song, is just absurd -
Oh you know this one was on this list. Himesh Reshammiya has a penchant for two things - making songs that are catchy as heck, and making song hooks that stick to your brain for years. However, in that pursuit, he has often given us some bizarre lyrics. For example -
I bet you don't remember this one, now, do you. Well, it is only plausible. The song was a part of a movie called The Xpose, starring Himesh Reshammiya & Yo Yo Honey Singh. If you're laughing just at this fact, hold your horses, and take a look at the lyrics -
Rowdy Rathore was your typical masala entertainer and a movie that necessitated that you left your brains at home when you went to watch the film. That's okay, Bollywood isn't usually known for making films that make you think that hard, barring a few instances. But until we read the lyrics for this song we didn't know that you are supposed to leave your brains behind, even when listening to the songs.
Finally, we have a gem of an example of just how ridiculous lyrics can get. The song is full of such instances. So many in fact that we cannot even count all of them. Here are just a few of the choicest ones -
In 1971, after the death of his uncle Mubarak Ali Khan, Khan became the official leader of the family qawwali party and the party became known as Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Mujahid Mubarak Ali Khan & Party. Khan's first public performance as the leader of the qawwali party was at a studio recording broadcast as part of an annual music festival organized by Radio Pakistan, known as Jashn-e-Baharan. Khan sang mainly in Urdu and Punjabi and occasionally in Persian, Braj Bhasha, and Hindi. His first major hit in Pakistan was the song Haq Ali Ali, which was performed in a traditional style and with traditional instrumentation. The song featured restrained use of Khan's sargam improvisations.[20]
Khan's experimental work for Real World, which featured his collaborations with the Canadian guitarist Michael Brook, spurred on several further collaborations with a number of other Western composers and rock musicians. One of the most noteworthy of these collaborations came in 1995, when Khan grouped with Pearl Jam's lead singer Eddie Vedder on two songs for the soundtrack to Dead Man Walking. Khan also provided vocals for The Prayer Cycle which was put together by Jonathan Elias, but died before the tracks could be completed. Alanis Morissette was brought in to sing with his unfinished vocals. In 2002, Gabriel included Khan's vocals on the track "Signal to Noise" on his album Up.
Khan contributed songs to, and performed in, several Pakistani films. Shortly before his death, he composed music for three Bollywood films, which includes the film Aur Pyaar Ho Gaya, in which he also sang for "Koi Jaane Koi Na Jaane" on-screen with the lead pair, and "Zindagi Jhoom Kar." He also composed music for Kartoos where he sang for "Ishq Da Rutba", and "Bahaa Na Aansoo", alongside Udit Narayan. He died shortly before the movie's release. His final music composition for Bollywood was for the movie Kachche Dhaage where he sang in "Iss Shaan-E-Karam Ka Kya Kehna." The movie was released in 1999, two years after his death. The two singing sisters of Bollywood, Asha Bhosle and Lata Mangeshkar sang for the songs he composed in his brief stint in Bollywood. He also sang "Saya Bhi Saath Jab Chhod Jaye" for Sunny Deol's movie Dillagi. The song was released in 1999, two years after Khan's death. He also sang "Dulhe Ka Sehra" from the Bollywood movie Dhadkan which was released in 2000.
Khan contributed the song "Gurus of Peace" to the 1997 album Vande Mataram, composed by A. R. Rahman, and released to celebrate the 50th anniversary of India's independence. As a posthumous tribute, Rahman later released an album titled Gurus of Peace which included "Allah Hoo" by Khan. Rahman's 2007 song "Tere Bina" for the film Guru was also composed as a tribute to Khan.[28]
Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's voice was otherworldly. For 25 years, his mystical songs transfixed millions. It was not long enough ... He performed qawwali, which means wise or philosophical utterance, as nobody else of his generation did. His vocal range, talent for improvisation and sheer intensity were unsurpassed.
Paul Williams picked a concert performance by Khan for inclusion in his 2000 book The 20th Century's Greatest Hits: a 'top-40' list, in which he devotes a chapter each to what he considers the top 40 artistic achievements of the 20th century in any field (including art, movies, music, fiction, non-fiction, science-fiction).[66]The Derek Trucks Band covers Khan's songs on two of their studio albums. Their 2002 album Joyful Noise includes a cover of "Maki Madni", which features a guest performance by Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, Khan's nephew. 2005's Songlines includes a medley of two of Khan's songs, "Sahib Teri Bandi" and "Maki Madni." This medley first appeared on the band's live album Live at Georgia Theatre (2004).[67]
In 2007, electronic music producer and performer Gaudi, after being granted access to back catalogue recordings from Rehmat Gramophone House (Khan's former label in Pakistan), released an album of entirely new songs composed around existing vocals. The album, Dub Qawwali, was released by Six Degrees Records. It reached no. 2 in the iTunes US Chart, no. 4 in the UK and was the no. 1 seller in Amazon.com's Electronic Music section for a period. It also earned Gaudi a nomination for the BBC's World Music Awards 2008.[69]
In February 2016, a rough mix of a song recorded by Red Hot Chili Peppers in 1998 called "Circle of the Noose" was leaked to the internet. Guitarist Dave Navarro described the song saying, "It's pop in the sense of verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge, hook. I really love it and we use a loop of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. It's really nice. The best way I can describe it is it's like pepped- up '60s folk with '90s ideals, but I would hate to label it as folk because it's not, it moves."[73]
One of Khan's famous qawwali songs, "Tere Bin Nahin Lagda"[75] ("I am restless without you"),[76] appeared on two of his 1996 albums, Sorrows Vol. 69[77] and Sangam (as "Tere Bin Nahin Lagda Dil"), the latter a collaborative album with Indian lyricist Javed Akhtar;[78] Sangam sold over 1 million copies in India.[79] Lata Mangeshkar recorded a cover version called "Tere Bin Nahin Jeena" for Kachche Dhaage, starring Ajay Devgn, Saif Ali Khan and Manisha Koirala.[75] Composed by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, the Kachche Dhaage soundtrack album sold 3 million units in India.[80] British-Indian producer Bally Sagoo released a remix of "Tere Bin Nahin Lagda", which was later featured in the 2002 British film Bend It Like Beckham, starring Parminder Nagra and Keira Knightley.[76] A cover version called "Tere Bin" was recorded by Rahat Fateh Ali Khan with Asees Kaur for the 2018 Bollywood film Simmba, starring Ranveer Singh and Sara Ali Khan.[81]
Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's music had a big impact on Bollywood music, inspiring numerous Indian musicians working in Bollywood since the late 1980s. For example, he inspired A. R. Rahman and Javed Akhtar, both of whom he collaborated with. However, there were many hit filmi songs from other Indian music directors that plagiarised Khan's music.[12][82] Viju Shah's hit song "Tu Cheez Badi Hai Mast Mast" in Mohra (1994) was plagiarised from Khan's popular qawwali song "Dam Mast Qalandar."[12]
Despite the significant number of hit Bollywood songs plagiarised from his music, he was reportedly tolerant towards the plagiarism.[82][83] In one interview, he jokingly gave "Best Copy" awards to Viju Shah and Anu Malik.[84] In his defense, Malik claimed that he loved Khan's music and was actually showing admiration by using his tunes.[83] However, Khan was reportedly aggrieved when Malik turned his spiritual "Allah Hoo, Allah Hoo" into "I Love You, I Love You" in Auzaar.[82] Khan said "he has taken my devotional song Allahu and converted it into I love you. He should at least respect my religious songs."[83]
Eyes Teri Katilana Hai song is from the 2020 Indian web series Dangerous. The series is available on the OTT platform MX Player. Bipasha Basu, Karan Singh Grover, Suyyash Rai, Sonali Raut, Natasha Suri and Nitin Arora have played the key roles in series. The series is directed by Bhushan Patel and produced by Vikram Bhatt and Mika Singh.
Every song is challenging, no song really comes off easy. Also, every song that I sing, I always try to do something new with it. So, if that is the intention then there will be challenges and this too came with its set of challenges. Besharam rang needed simplicity but it had scope for ornamentation so I have used a technique called khatka in ghazal and it brings out the song in a simple way while subtly ornamenting it.
