And
now let us continue back on the road from Bombay to Goa. This being the
weekend evening, here is a medley of club classics - performed live in
the movie by Usha Uthup (at that time Usha Iyer). The medley include
some of the chart busters like "Listen to the pouring rain",
"Temptation", "Fever", "I married a female wrestler" and "It's all right
with me".
Of course while the songs were chosen by Usha Iyer
essentially, RD remodelled them in his own style. So if you hear has
bossa nova rhythm in one, there is a well structured bongo element in
another one (the one with Goan tune) to balance the same.
As
the sequence starts with Amitabh walking in to the club, one can see a
different avatar of Amitabh - much more confident then his earlier
roles. Though at the time of shooting no one would have been knowing the
importance of this sequence in his career, yet perhaps the destiny was
getting him ready, because this club sequence ultimately leads into a
fight between Amitabh & Shatrughan - and apparently it is this fight
sequence that got the attention of those looking for the hero for
Zanjeer.
However, it is time for us to start grooving with Usha Iyer & R D Burman:
