Hello.. I am back again..from a trip into the heartland of the country
where in a few days we criss-crossed the rivers, ravines, grasslands -
and experienced the harmony that nature creates, from the very close
quarters. More about the trip, however, later and at another page.
Here, on this page, to begin with, in response to my friend Taru's query to my last post comes another RD - Kishore special:
Yes, Sahir & Pancham did work together - but surprisingly almost a decade after Pancham
had turned into a composer. Their first movie together was Aa Gale Lag
Ja - directed by Manmohan Desai, who used RD's talent in only two
movies. The movie itself, starring Shashi Kapoor & Sgarmila Tagore,
was a story of misunderstanding,s, manipulations & lost & found
- a genre MKD always preferred.
The music of Aa Gale Lag Ja
went on to become one of the milestones for all those associated with it
- RD, Kishore and Sahir. I had featured its most popular song - Tera
Mujhse Hai Pahle Ka Naata Koi quite early on this page.
Just
like RD's other movies, there are other hidden gems - one of them being
this Kishore number - again for its heartfelt rendition with Kishore
using his trademark yodelling to reach right inside one's heart. Sahir,
donning the cap of a lyricist - unlike the shair that he was, manages
to infuse the verse with uncommon words like Tohmat and Aeb.
The real magic of the song is, however, in the interludes wherein RD has
used and mixed a variety of western instruments like accordion, guitar,
violin & and bells - adding depth to the song.
Here it is:
