from the MDs equivalent of writer's block :( I had high hopes from them,

but acc. to me they just petered off. They gave some music for some other

songs (imHo, I really don't care whether they come in xyz muqabla or lmn

Hey, don't give up on those youngsters yet!
They have composed some good tunes for Dev Anand's next
release 'GANGSTER'.. The songs grow on you as you listen to
them. The lyrics are the only weak point, but the orchestra
has been handled very well and sounds closer than ever to RD.
Dev had apparently instructed them to sound as much RDish as
possible. Their next promsising score will be for
'RETURN OF JEWEL THEIF'

The song that you are referring to, Ikram-bhai, has been MD'd by loRD
Burman himself! It's from Parinda, a Nana Patekar, Jackie Shroff,
Anil "I-don't-know-why-I'm-here" Kapoor, and Madhuri Dixit starrer.
The lyrics of the song are like this:
(Suresh) "tum se mil ke, aisaa laga
tum se mil ke, armaaN hue poore dil ke
ai meri jaan-e-wafaa
teri-meri meri-teri ik jaan hai
saathe tere raheNge sadaa~~

I believe it was meant to be Jatin-Lalit's debut release, but JJWS

Ikrambhai,
The song is:
"Tum mile, dil khile, aur jeene ko kya chahiye".
Movie is "Criminal", Singer Kumar Sanu, MD is MM Karim ( or MM Krim ,
as they write on TV shows ).
I do not think J-L were MDs for "Krantiveer". Could be N-S.

Agree with first one. For the KHKN, I think "Ae kaash ke hum hosh maiN"
was better than "Anna mere pyar ko". And "Deewana dil deewana" too.

Actually the other KSanu song in KHKN Ae kaash ke hum was the best in term
of lyrics but KSanus rendition (repeat performance by Pintuji :) ) !! That
is why for me the best songs will be the "Deewana ,,, dil deewana" (Oh,
the way Amit sings that stanza in a low-voice for the first time....
TooTaa sitaraa toh maaNga thha rab se tumko hee jaanewafaa.....ummmmmm
wonderful.... In my books just for his superb voice, I place him among the
all-time greats of male singers.... Udit visits this hall many a times and

was too much of a take off on Ma Baker....

Dead wrong! About the other songs, I mean. Ikrambhai's original
question dealt with Jatin-Lalit sounding RD-esque. IM*H*O, in the
songs from KHKN, Jatin-Lalit sound RD-esque only in "Anna! mere pyaar
ko". In "deewaana! dil deewaanaa!" and "ae kaash ke hum hosh meiN ab
aane naa paayeN" they sound decidedly and pronouncedly
Nadeem-Shravanish! (*ugh*). More so in the latter song than in the
former. I can't tolerate Nadeem-Shravanish music for nuts. I still
saw the movie twice. For two reasons. a) Suchitra K. and b) "Anna,
mere pyaar ko".
BTW, while on the topic of KHKN, one should also mention that the song
"sachchi yeh kahaani hai, sun le meri jaan ... woh banaa kaise DON"
makes extremely entertaining hearing. And the most forgettable song
from this film is the "woh to hai albelaa" song. This last mentioned
is a real howler. The song is started by Shahrukh's sister, I think,
and then his mother joins in, and then the Father (no, not Shahrukh's
dad) Naseeruddin Shah. *then* it's the turn of Tiku "yeh kyaa ho
rahaa hai" Talsania, and then Suchitra Krishnamoorthy's inner voice.
Then Shahrukh's dad joins in, and then the entire gang of party
invitees ... people keep coming into this song with such remarkable
frequency that you almost expect the dog that roams in the streets
also to pitch in with his efforts.
Incidentally, Kuntal, do you remember the song that Shahrukh's and
Suchitra's man-ki-aawaaz sings when he takes her to the "New Year's
Ball" or whatever ... that was a nice song, and quite RD-esque too, I
felt. It's that background song that comes in the film before Deepak
Tijori comes in and blows Shahrukh's KHushi-kaa-bulbula, and Suchitra
slaps him hard ... gosh! did I hate her for doing that! ;-)
Ravindra.
*now* do you believe that Rafi-ans listen to good music,
not just *old* music?

Knock, knock! Wake up, Kuntal-ji! aaj kal bahut late-night kaam kar

post.
Incidentally, are you also sure about the MM K(a)rim part? As far as
I know, Criminal is the remake of a Telugu film (I dunno its name),
and the MD for *that* film is MM Keeravani. I am almost 99.9% sure
that Keeravani is also the director for the Hindi version. At least,
this song sounds the same in Telugu and Hindi, as far as the music
goes.

Great. You have given me the info I needed. Rahul Roy and Mamta K....
ummmm. My brain says they appeared only once together. The movie was
"Bhookamp", also starring Jeetendra. MD are N-S. Movie was released
in 1993. And song goes like this :
Tum jo mile (your fillers )
Gulshan Khile ( fillers again )
Maheki maheki hawa hai

Hey, that song is the one "Ae kaash ke hum". Lyrics also match the
situation. Now you are in a fix: earlier you said you did not like the
song and it was Nadeem-Shravanish. And now you are telling that was a
nice song. And quite RD-esque too !!!

Most certainly ! But it is still "daamadol" unless you give me that Asha

As for UVRji and his bettin' habits, all I can say is this,
Buri aadat hai yeh, aadat abhi badal dalo
KK in "ke pag ghungroo" from Namak Halal
{ Nothing like quoting a KK song to a Rafi-an if you want to rub it in :)

Btw, I am almost certain that the Music directors of Bhookamp were Jatin
Lalit.

Yeh! You got the spelling right. For the movie, not the MD, though.
I am speaking about AR Ra/ehman's name. If you notice carefully (and
if you can read the "thamizh" script), you can see that his name is
written as A.R. Ragumaan in Thamizh. However, you'll agree that while
changing Rahman to Rehman is quite a natural transformation, changing
Keeravani (a perfectly southie name) to Kareem (Kuntal said it was
"Kreem") is a change that isn't that natural to perceive.

Okay, if you really like Rahman-style music, you'll like this song
"tum mile dil khile" from Criminal, Ikrambhai, but I seriously have
some strong reservations against predicting a great future for
Keeravani. The reason is because I feel (and this is *my* opinion) he
doesn't have much talent, and certainly can't establish a style of his
own. I believe he started out as the senior music assistant cum
orchestra arranger, or something like that, and used to work for
Ilaiyaraja (who, despite all his failings, is one of the most original
composers I have heard, IMO). Somewhere down the line, MMKeeravani
felt the need to get out and be on his own. That was when he made
some success with KshanaKshanam. Besides this, most his other films
were entirely forgettable. If you note carefully, his music in
KshanaKshanam is quite Ilaiyaraja-esque. Then the guy had to lie low
till he came up with this ab. dynamite song (I'll grant him that), but
then, this is in a style that sounds like some countrymade-mixture of
Ilaiyaraja+Rehman. I don't mean to belittle MMK's achievements, but I
somehow can't help feeling that they guy suffers from a dearth of
the kind of talent needed for MD's to make it big on their own.
These are only my opinions, and you may disagree with them.

Few weeks back I was watching movie "Sliver" with friends. And one

Now if you can prove that this Khankhanam was after Sliver was

UVRji,
This MM Keeravani guy is the same guy as MM Kareem (just as the AR Rahman
guy in Tamil is the same as the AR Rehman guy in Hindi :) :) Honestly most
of the Tamil cassettes that I have list his name as AR rAhman [with the
'a' and not the 'e', dunno why ] Also I have seen one other movie MDed by
this guy available dubbed in Hindi called Hairaan (discussed sometime back
on rmim) which is actually the Hindi dubbed version of the movie
Kshanakshanam (Hope I got the sp right :) ). I really loved both the music
and the movie. Acc. to me it was the second best movie that I saw in that
year (first goes to Hum Hain Rahee pyaar ke) and I do make it a point to
see a lot of movies. Became a fan of "hansta hua noorani chehra" Venkatesh

Kuntal,
Firstly, I felt the need to change the name of the thread because
we've come quite far from Jatin-Lalit. Apart from being a
contemporaneous MD, MMK surely has nothing in common with them.
Secondly, it is 'k-sh-ana-k-sh-anam' (meaning something like
"ghaD.i-ghaD.i" in Hindi), and not "khankhanam", though the latter,
with a slightly modified title, like, say "Khan-Khanum" would have
made a wondrously hit movie, if directed well ;-) ;-)
But, of course, it would have to be a tragedy. Nothing else would do,
would it?
And lastly, Kshanakshanam was *not* released after Sliver, IMO. But
then, kshanakshanam is also not the name of the Telugu version of
Criminal, as you wrongly seem to be assuming. Kshanakshanam was
dubbed into Hindi, I think, and starred Venkatesh and Sridevi, whereas
Criminal has been remade/dubbed (I don't know which) into Hindi from
it's Telugu original, and stars NAGARJUNA and Manisha Koirala.
Someone like S. Jagadish would perhaps be able to give us the real
name of the film Criminal in Telugu, but for some reason, methinks the
Telugu original was also called "Criminal."
All this doesn't mean that my opinion of MMK as a talentless MD has
changed. I still consider him to be slightly short on that aspect of
music direction. Of course, what I'll grant him is that he's got an
absolutely blown sense of orchestration, which makes most of his songs
a pleasure to listen to (no jarring interludes and no stupid sounds in
the middle to distract you, et all that sort of thing).
Ravindra.
Just making myself clear(er).

I don't mean to bring Rajesh Roshan into the picture except for the sake of a
comparison, but in Telugu film music, M.M. Keeravani is a lot like what RR is to
Hindi Music. An MD with extremely 'identifiable' music, who is capable of good
music, but tends to resort to copying as an easy way out. Kshana Kshanam (which
was dubbed into Hindi as 'Hairaan', starring Sridevi and Nagarjuna) was his first
venture followed by 'Seetaramayya Gari Manavarallu', both of which showed a lot
of promise.

Kshana Kshanam was released sometime around Nov-Dec of 1991 for sure. It was the
hot favorite of all my nieces and nephews during my sister's wedding, especially
Sridevi's antics.

I think so too, though I maybe grossly wrong. There was a Telugu movie by that
name released sometime in mid or late 1994, which starred Nagarjuna. Or wait,
maybe the Hindi 'Criminal' maybe a remake of the Telugu 'Antham' which starred
Urmila Matondkar. HEY! 'Antham''s MD was R.D. BURMAN!! Now I remember! So that's
how this thread is relevant to rmim. :) Antham had a *decent* okayish soundtrack,
though nothing close to what you'd expect from RDB. There was a Kavitha
Krishnamurthy solo in it that's pretty freaky and fun to listen to. I'd like to
hear more on this movie if anyone has heard the songs.

True to a large extent. He's dished out some real crap too though. Including
jarring music and jhankaar beats and the works. But Kshana Kshanam to date
remains his best ever. The SPB-Chitra duet 'ammayi muddu ivvande' the SPB solo
'jaamu raathiri jabilamma' are fantastic, instrumentation wise and SPB and Chitra
run circles around you in the first song especially.
I'd like to know more about this Criminal business though. Was it Antham's remake
or 'Gaayam's remake? Gaayam incidentally had the distinction of being a
Mani Rathnam-Ram Gopla Verma dual directed movie, again with Urmila Matondkar in
it.

The name of the movie is same bothin Hindi and Telugu : Criminal.
It is based on the hollywood hit "The Fugitive". It is ofcourse,
indianized, with songs and a triangle (Nagarjuna, Manisha and Ramyakrishna)
It was directed by Mahesh Bhatt. I think it was a flop both in Hindi
and Telugu. Except one song ("Tume Mile...", which is so so), the other
songs and the movie is below average.

The music for "Antham" (*Nagarjuna and Urmila) is by RDB. It was decent,
going by the telugu movie standards but IMHO far below par, coming from RDB.
It had couple of interesting tunes, but was too loud overall. Probably RDB and
RamGopal Verma thought that Telugu movie goers like loud music, because
Gang Leader, (*Chiranjeevi, Music: Bappi Lahri) was loud and was a hit.

"Gaayam" was not dual directed. Mani Ratnam and Ram Gopal Verma both worked
on the story and screen play together. It was directed by Ram Gopal Verma.
"Antham" was dubbed into Hindi and was called "Drohi" (too much violence)
and both were flops, I think.
Ram Gopal Verma gave good movies like "Shiva" "Money" and "Kshnam Kshnam".
"Gaayam" was OK too. His next venture is "Rangeela" (much discussed on RMIM
due to Rehman :)).

Sridevi looks equally ethereal is "JagadekaVeerudu, AtilokaSundari
(JVAS)" in which she acted opposite Chiranjeevi.

=> I think so too, though I maybe grossly wrong. There was a Telugu movie by that
=> name released sometime in mid or late 1994, which starred Nagarjuna. Or wait,
=> maybe the Hindi 'Criminal' maybe a remake of the Telugu 'Antham' which starred
=> Urmila Matondkar. HEY! 'Antham''s MD was R.D. BURMAN!! Now I remember! So that's
=> how this thread is relevant to rmim. :) Antham had a *decent* okayish soundtrack,
=> though nothing close to what you'd expect from RDB. There was a Kavitha
=> Krishnamurthy solo in it that's pretty freaky and fun to listen to. I'd like to
=> hear more on this movie if anyone has heard the songs.
PLN Murthy has already clarified that Criminal (of Hindi) was Criminal
(of Telugu). Speaking of RD's music for Atham, a lovely, soft,
sensuous song, with wonderful (Telugu) lyrics is there in this film;
the lyrics go somewhat like this:
"enta sepaina eduru choope naa, naa gati"
meaning, loosely, "taaqayaamat intezaar, kyaa yahi meri qismat hai?"
[ Waiting till eternity, is only this my fate?]
The bad part of this song is that it's been picturised on DiscoShanti
or one some similar looking horrid dame. The film was remade/dubbed
into Hindi (don't remember the name from PLNMurthy's post, sorry), but
the song (and, more importantly, the tune) were retained. The hindi
lyrics sound hopelessly out of place in the song, but the song in
Telugu has a *really* sensuous sound. A must-hear for *all* serious
RD fans and connoisseurs of good music.
BTW, I agree with Renu's opinion of MMK as the Telugu equivalent of
Rajesh Roshan.

=> True to a large extent. He's dished out some real crap too though. Including
=> jarring music and jhankaar beats and the works. But Kshana Kshanam
=> to date remains his best ever. The SPB-Chitra duet 'ammayi muddu
=> ivvande' the SPB solo 'jaamu raathiri jabilamma' are fantastic,
=> instrumentation wise and SPB and Chitra run circles around you in
=> the first song especially.
Nice that you brought up the topic of the "ammayi muddu ivvande" song.
IMO, it's MMK's best EVER. However, you'll be surprised to note that
I could discern minor strains of plagiarism in this song too! Listen
to the last lines of the 'antaraa-s' (what's called "charanam" back
home in AP). The three-four couple of lines sound EXACTLY like "yeh
samaa, samaa hai yeh pyaar kaa". nahiN RMIM, mere kaan nahiN baj rahe
haiN, because I noticed this similarity the first time I ever heard
the song (when I was watching the film). Notwithstanding this
plagiarization (or perhaps because of it) this ranks in my scorecard
as MMK's best ever!
=> I'd like to know more about this Criminal business though. Was it
=> Antham's remake
=> or 'Gaayam's remake? Gaayam incidentally had the distinction of being a
=> Mani Rathnam-Ram Gopla Verma dual directed movie, again with Urmila
=> Matondkar in it.
=>
=> Renu.
=>
Ravindra.
I like new Telugu/Tamil film songs, too!
But I'm a Rafi FANatic.
Oh is it???.....when was it released in Hindi BTW???

: => That song is 'Kyon na hum kisi se pyaar kare...'. What the hell,
: => let's just list all the songs of KHKN and put an end to this debate :-)
: => Might save UVR some money in the future... ;-)
Actually, the song is ,
KyuN na hum milke pyaar kareN.
I did mentionit in the first post of this thread.
: Neerajbhai-of-the-Deshmukh-clan!
: Thanks! That's the song I was talking about! And Kuntaljibhai Shah,
: you'll agree that this song sounds RD-esque. 'ae kaash ke ham'
: doesn't sound RD-esque at all ... not to my ears at least!
: =>
: => 1. Deewana dil deewana
: => 2. Ae kaash ke hum hosh mein...
: => 3. Sachchi yeh kahaani hai...
: => 4. Woh to hai albela...
5. KyuN na hum milke pyaar kareN
6. Ho Anna mere pyaar ko na tum...
: Thanks for the listing, Neeraj!
: Ravindra.

Sorry UVR, but I can not recall the tune. I have seen KHKN only once,
unlike you. And the cassette I bought is one of those "combo" type;
which unfortunately doesn't have just one song; and it had to be one
you are talking about.
Anyway, since this thread mentioned J-L and Suchitra K.; I would like
to mention another thing:
Have you heard this song from movie Gangster ( Devsaab's ):
"Aaja gori bangar ki teri kamar pe choti latke hai
Nar naveli toofani tu, ada ye teri hatke hai "
The MD are J-L; and singers are Bali "Rap" Brahmbhatt and Suchitra K.
The song is horrible, and you will loose whatever admiration you have
for J-L and Suchitra K.
So beware. It is picturised on Deepak Tijori and some new babe. And it
seems it is doing well on Top 10 charts.
-Kuntal.
