I
mentioned yesterday about how difficult it was to differentiate the
voices of Mangeshkar Sisters - when they sang in tandem in Dulhan Maike
Chali. It was all the more difficult because each of them, like a true
playback singer, were trying to ensure that their voice was matching
with the performer on-screen. Fortunately, each one was singing for only
one of the characters.
Now here is a song, where there were
two different performers on the screen - in two different kind of
characters exhibiting two contradictory moods - and yet RD used only one
singer.
Ab Jo Mile Hain to - from caravan picturised on Aruna
Irani & Asha Parekh had Asha Bhosle singing for both the actors.
Starting seductively to match the on-screen persona of Aruna Irani
wooing Jitendra, the song has a strong bossa-nova influence - perfectly matching the moves of Aruna Irani.
Half-way through, the seduction gives way to unrequited love and as the
song changes the mood, one can not but notice that subtle yet distinct
variation - in Asha's voice, in the lyrics and in the music. With Asha
Parekh performing at her best, the song manages to bring out the pain
that she is going through.
No wonder, this song has remained one of the most popular one of Asha-RD-Majrooh combination.
