As you are already aware, these blogs are being recreated from the posts on my Facebook page Lyrical wherein I started with this theme of giving you the best raaga based songs in Hindi movies on the 8th of Aug 2015. Presently, I am on my 19th Raaga: Raag Bhupali. I have already given you blogs on Raaga Bhairavi (Part I, II and III), Yaman or Kalyan (Part I, II and III), Jhinjhoti (Part I, II) and Darbari Kanada (Part I, II, and III) and Bhimpalasi (Part I and II) which make only five of the nineteen Raagas. This means that I am well behind schedule.
Khamaj is one of the ten Thaats (parent scales) of Hindustani music. It is also a specific raaga within the Khamaj thaat. Raag Khamaj is a late evening raaga and is brought out rather elegantly in the light classical form of thumri. It has been a popular choice for film music as well. Devotion, beauty and the opulence of love are the basis of Raga Khamaj.
The romantic nature of the raaga is brought out by this delightful composition of Salil ChowdhuryO Sajna Barkha Bahar Aayi (the cover picture song). This song is supposed to have been set to the swishing of the wipers of an Ambassador car when the composer Salil Chowdhury was caught in a torrential downpour. The original version done in Bengali called Na Jeona was also sung by Lata Mangeshkar. She is said to have chosen this song when asked what is the one song she will take with her to a desert island!
Salil da was not the only Bengali composer fond of Raag Khammaj. Rahul Dev Burman used the Raag for composing Aayo kahan se ghanshayaam in Buddha Mil Gaya. He used the same Raag twice in 1971 movie Amar Prem in the songs: Bada natkhat hai ye Krishan Kanhaiyya, and Kuchh to log kahenge.
Anand Bakshi was the lyricist and the song was sung by Kishore Kumar for Rajesh Khanna. Of course the movie itself was made by a famous Bengali: Shakti Samanta and starred the great grand-daughter of Nobel Laureate Rabindra Nath Tagore: Sharmila Tagore.
It is from the 1966 movie Anupama and the scene is picturised on the actress Surekha singing it for her husband Tarun Bose. You know the story after that. She gives birth to a child and dies. This child grows up into Sharmila Tagore. Tarun Bose, her father, hates her as being the cause of the death of his wife and she grows into a reclusive, introvert person.
man le gayii re dhobaniyaa raamaa kaisaa jaaduu Daar ke
kaisaa jaaduu Daar ke re, kaisaa Tonaa Daar ke
man le gayii re dhobaniyaa raamaa kaisaa jaaduu Daar ke
man le gayii re dhobaniyaa raamaa kaisaa jaaduu Daar ke
In 1948, Roshan came to Bombay to find work as a Hindi film music director and became Assistant to Music Composer Khawaja Khurshid Anwar in film Singaar. He struggled until meeting Kidar Sharma, who gave him the job of composing for his film Neki aur Badi (1949). While this film was a flop, Roshan emerged as a player on the Hindi film music scene with the film Baawre Nain, released the following year.
This one is a favourite of mine from the 1970 movie Pushpanjali starring Sanjay Khan and Naina. It is by the most versatile combination ever of a lyricist and music director: Anand Bakshi and Laxmikant Pyarelal. The song or rather the enchanting bhajan has been sung by Manna Dey and Lata Mangeshkar.
This is from the 1979 movie Meera that starred Hema Malini in the title role. Pandit Ravi Shankar composed the lyrics of Meerabai (one of the over 3000 she wrote) into this beautiful bhajan. And who better to sing it than Vani Jairam, who has made a name for herself in classical singing.
(Since I give you three songs everyday, we are recently two songs short. That happened because I was away to Goa for my course reunion and for two consecutive days I posted only two songs each day instead of usual three.
The first one has been very popular but a rare combination. It was penned by Dr Rahi Masoom Reza. He was a poet, novelist, lyricist and even wrote dialogues in Hindi movies. We know him better as the script writer for the popular TV serial Mahabharat.
Whenever I have put up this song in the past I have brought out the spontaneous chemistry that existed between Dev Anand and all his heroines. All of them gave their best performances with him.
The last song was one of the best dancing numbers of Guide with Waheeda as the dancer. That reminds me of the dancing queen Asha Parekh and how one of her best dancing numbers is also composed in Raag Khammaj.
saare vaade nikale jhuuThe
saamane ho to koii unase ruuThe
le gaI bairan shahar piyaa ko
raam kare ki aisii naukarii chhuuTe
unhe.n jisane banaayaa gulaam baabuu
kore kaagaz pe likh de salaam baabuu
vo jaan jaae.nge, pahachaan jaae.nge
kaise hotii hai subah se shaam baabuu
This was deliberate. I wanted to give you this from the 1966 movie Amrapali right in the end so that the flavor stays with you. The movie starred Vyjayanthimala in her most sensuous role and Sunil Dutt.
It was based on the life of Amrapali (Ambapali), the nagarvadhu (royal courtesan) of Vaishali in present day Bihar, the capital of the Licchavi republic in ancient India around 500 BC and Ajatashatru, the Haryanka dynasty king of the Magadha empire, who falls in love with her. Though he destroys Vaishali to get her, she in the meantime has been transformed by her encounter with Gautama Buddha, of whom she becomes a disciple and an Arahant herself. Her story finds mention in old Pali texts and Buddhist traditions.
Dhanak (2016) is known to be one of the finest movies of Nagesh Kukunoor. It is a story about two children who set off alone on a 300 KM journey beating the unbearable climate as well as all the difficult circumstances.
This comedy-drama film featured Salman Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan as the lead roles. In addition to that, this movie made sure of stealing our hearts at the theatres with one of the finest performances by Mr Khan and a heart-touching storyline and message.
Bol Bachhan is an action-comedy featuring Ajay Devgn and Abhishek Bachchan as protagonists along with Prachi Desai and Asin. Well, we all definitely had a good time watching the film, however, did you guys know that this film was inspired from the 1979 film Gol Maal? No right? Well, me neither!
Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ram-Leela was a tragic love story starring Ranvir Singh and Deepika Padukone for the very first time together. The film was shot initially in Gujarat, however, some sequences were also shot at Udaipur Palace and Gangaur Ghat. Remember how they both made us drool over their chemistry and their magnificently drafted characters?
When this road drama directed by Imtiaz Ali starring Alia Bhatt and Randeep Hooda aired, people showered it with love, not just because of a phenomenal storyline but also because of an outstanding performance by Bhatt.
PK starred Amir Khan along with Anushka Sharma in the lead roles along with several others. In addition to that, this movie is a satire on the religion, customs, languages, attires, notions amidst several others that humans follow wrapped in comedy and drama. The movie not only bagged laurels and trophies but also gave people some food for thought.
Paheli, starring Shahrukh Khan and Rani Mukherjee is a fantasy and a remake of a 1973 Hindi movie, Duvidha by Mani Kaul. Based on the short story written by Vijayadan Detha in Rajasthani language, it is a story of a couple visited by a ghost who falls in love with the wife.
Rang De Basanti is one of the best movies till-date that received an overwhelmingly positive response by the audience and the critics. With a thought-provoking story and an excellent performance by all the actors including Amir Khan, Siddharth Narayan, Soha Ali Khan and others, the movie was showered with love by all.
This movie never left us, did it? It feels like Naina, Bunny, Aditi and Adi still reside in us. Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani starring Ranbir Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, Kalki Koechlin and Aditya Roy Kapoor is a romantic comedy that bagged tons of appreciations and laurels.
Border was a war drama film about the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971. Moreover, it was based on real-life events with outstanding performances. The cast includes Sunny Deol, Sunil Shetty, Akshaye Khanna, Jacky Shroff, Tabu, Pooja Bhatt, amidst others and heartfelt songs and music.
Delhiites who have been longing for the city during the pandemic and the ones who simply love the city, well, I totally recommend you to watch Delhi 6. This is an exceptional film starring Sonam Kapoor, Aditi Rao Hydari, Abhishek Bachchan and more. The movie is about Delhi, it was shot at Sambhar, which had a similar architecture as that of Old Delhi.
This iconic romantic drama not only earned a universal admiration but also respect from all over the world. Further, this history-making film features the very graceful Madhubala alongside Dilip Kumar and more.
Manikarnika, a period-drama movie, starring Kangana Ranaut as Rani Lakshmi Bai. In addition to that, it was shot at several parts of Rajasthan including Jaipur, Jodhpur, Jhunjhunu and Bikaner. The film was highly appreciated.
This is a historical action-drama film and featured John Abraham, Diana Penty and Boman Irani. Besides, it was mostly praised by the critics and is definitely a worth-the-watch. And as the name suggests, the major portions of the film were shot in Pokhran and areas of Pokhran Fort, Aada Bazaar, Gandhi Chowk Main Market and the Gomat Railway Station.
