A
good composition demands - & deserves - a right singer, and most of the time, RD did
manage to strike right combination for his compositions. Yet, there were
exceptions.
For example, this song from Do Chor: a movie
starring Tanuja & Dharmendra. A particular sequence had the lead
pair, being chased by the cops, finding themselves amidst a crowd of
hippies. Good enough opportunity for RD to create a composition that
could have rival a Dum Maro Dum, and yes, the song does have that
influence.
The song was quite popular, with claiming the 8th
spot on Binaca Geet Mala for the year 1973. Yet there was something
missing. To my mind, listeining to this song with a fresh mind, it was a
case of a mismatch. One can only speculate about the reason for RD to
choose Lata for a song that was tailor made for Asha.
Not that Lata is not efficient in the song, yet the fact remains that ,
lending her voice to Tanuja for this song, somehow she just could not
capture the uninhibition that Tanuja's performance is capable of - if
you remember Raat Akeli Hai from Jewel Thief.
Looking at
Tanuja's performance, one really does not wonder about the acting
prowess & the lack of inhibition that Kajol has displayed. She was
fortunate enough to inherit the right genes.
