Another Asha-RD combination. This time from the movie Anamika!
Produced by Tahir Hussain, Amir Khan’s father, Anamika was his 2nd
production – the first one being Caravan. Once again, Anamika, saw RD
giving some of the best compositions to lovely lyrics by Majrooh.
Kishore's Meri Bheegi Bheegi Si, & Lata's Bahon Men Chale Aao were
chart busters when the movie was released & have remained fresh in
their sound till date.
As has been the trend with RD, the more
popular compositions also managed to hide some rare gems – and most of
the time the singer to get that treatment was Asha Bhosle. Anamika was
no different which had three superb numbers rendered by Asha.
My favourite is, however, this cabaret. Picturised on a very sensuous
Helen, the song had to do something special to match Asha-Helen-RD’s
number from Caravan. And yes, it does – starting slowly with Bhupendra’s
guitar riffs, the song moves on the generate some great beats –
specially in between the stanzas, and Asha's effortless seductive voice
complements Helen's movement on-screen, the way only she could have done
it.
