Jeevan Sangeet

Le Chal Mere Jeevan Saathi (Vishwaas)

2010-04-25T12:17:00.001-07:00

The song is filmed on Aparna Sen and Jitendra.

As it was the norm for a song sequence during the late1960s and early 1970s, while romancing his heroine, Jitendra hinders Aparna Sen's vision by standing in front of her in the convertible jeep while she is driving (worse than texting while driving) and hangs on the side of the moving vehicle, throwing caution to the wind and then takes her for an elephant ride without the Mahaut's supervision.

Aparna Sen is a critically acclaimed film maker, script writer and actress, whose other notable role in Hindi films was in "Sagina" with Dilip Kumar and Saira Banu.

Jitendra started his screen career as Sandhya's double in "Navrang". Since then he went on to play a wide variety of roles ranging from youthful, acrobatic Gopal in "Farz" to the teacher in "Parichay" (which was inspired by "Sound of music"). He almost got married to Hema. He has received many "lifetime awards", but none for his lead roles.

I thank Nikita for lending her melodious voice for this lovely duet and

Jatin Arya for mixing this song. I am also very thankful to Paras Acharya for helping me gather some information for the film Vishwas which has some wonderful songs like "Chandi Ki Deewar Na Todi" and excellent music by Kalyanji-Anandji who received Filmfare award for another song from Vishwas "Aap se hum ko bichhade huve"

Friends, please do listen and leave your valuable feedback. I will greatly appreciate your support!

Give Me Some Sunshine

At first I was very reluctant to sing. But with some courage and encouragement from my 3 daughters who are my 3 beautiful angels and not (3 idiots), I bring to you two beautiful songs from the film. I think that this was the best movie of the year 2009 with beautiful music by Shatanu Moitra. 3 Idiots is not only a flawless work of art, but it is a vital, inspiring and life-revising work of contemporary art with some heart imbued into every part. In a country where students are driven to suicide by their impossible curriculum. 3 Idiots provides a message of hope.

Directed by Rajkumar Hirani, with a screenplay by Abhijat Joshi, and produced by Vidhu Vinod Chopra. 3 Idiots has become the highest grossing Bollywood movie of all time. The film set a box office record for the Indian film industry. The film also went on to win many awards, winning six Filmfare Awards including best film and best director, and ten Star Screen Awards.

Lastly, I thank my daughter “Chiku” for giving chorus to complete one of the songs and also thank Chiman & Aruna Mistry to inspire me to sing one of their favorite songs “Behti Hawa Sa Tha Who” Chiman….this goes to you, as I dedicate your special farmaish!

Friends, please support and provide your feedback by giving a listen. Many Thanks!

Saraswati Chandra (Classic Forever)

2009-02-28T12:30:00.000-08:00

Saraswatichandra was raised by his "step mother". He was a compassionate person who wanted to spend his life for "Lok Seva" but upon his father's suggestion agreed to meet Kumud Sundari and fell in love with her. The step mother did not like the idea of another woman getting importance in her house. She accused the step son of wasting money on his future bride and the father also scolded the son for being irresponsible. Saraswati decided not to marry and left his home also. Kumud was married off into a rich family but had a very unhappy married life. The story deals with... first love, sacrifice, duty, temptation and true love again.. which is to sacrifice everything for that person.

The movie was based on a Gujarati novel by Govardhanram Madhavram Tripathi and was directed by Govind Saraiya, starring Nutan as "Kumud Sundari" and a relatively unknown actor, Manish as "Saraswatichandra". The dialogue writer, S. Ali Raza, went on to receive Filmfare Award for Best Dialogues and the Best cinematography award went to N. Irani. Kalyanji-Anandji received a National Award for their melodious music.

Saraswatichandra was the last movie to be made in black and white in that era. Please listen to my humble attempt to 2 beautiful songs from the film. I would like to thank Paras Acharya who had been very instrumental, encouraging and helping me gather information to complete this classic theme. Your valuable feedback will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

LIFE ITSELF IS A PHILOSOPHY!
One of the most philosophical songs of all times from the film "Anokhi Raat", this was also the last composition of legendary composer Roshan (known to the present generation only as Hritik Roshan’s grand-father and Music Director Rajesh Roshan's father). And how beautifully Indivar sa’ab has juxtaposed elements of nature and cycle of life with beautiful lyrics: Sooraj ko dharti tarse, dharti ko chandrama, Paani mein seep jaise, pyaasi har aatma, Boond chhupi kis baadal mein, koi jaane na, oh re taal mile nadi ke jal mein, Nadi mile saagar mein, Saagar mile kaun se jal mein, koi jaane na. Mukeshji has sung this with deep emotions. Listen to my sincere attempt to begin the new year 2009 with much peace and hapiness in the globe.
Your feedback will be much appreciated. Thanks.

AN ETERNAL SONG (DIL JALTA HAI TO JALNE DO)
Mukesh's voice was noticed by Motilal (a popular actor in Hindi films, also a distant relative of Mukesh) when he sang at his sister's wedding. Motilal took him to Bombay, let him stay with him and even arranged for singing lessons for him. During this period, Mukesh managed to bag a role in a Hindi film, Nirdosh (Innocent) (1941). His first song was dil hi bujha hua ho to as an actor singer for Nirdosh. He got his break as a playback singer in 1945 with the film Pehli Nazar (First Look). The first song he sang for a Hindi film was Dil Jalta Hai to Jalne De (If the heart burns, let it burn), which was incidentally picturised on Motilal.

Mukesh was such a big fan of K. L. Saigal that in his early years of playback singing he used to imitate his idol. In fact, it is said that when K. L. Saigal first heard the song Dil Jalta Hai to Jalne De, he said "That's strange, I don't recall singing that song".

Well, I have tried my best and really it was not easy. Please do listen my humble attempt and your genuine feedback will be very much appreciated. Thanks all!

Remembering Mukeshji

2008-08-25T16:10:00.000-07:00

August 27th 1976 Hindi Cinema lost one of the finest voice in the industry. Rajkapoor broke down and said? “I’ve lost my voice”. Mukeshji left behind a treasure house of some 1,500 songs. Every time he sang, his sincerity and vulnerability shone through, leaving no doubt that here was a true gentleman, that cannot be said of any other Hindi playback singer, except the sweetly sensitive and truly noble Mukesh Chand Mathur. Together with Lata Mangeshkar and Mohammed Rafi, he completed the trinity of silver throats who enriched and enraptured the Golden Era of hindi cinema playback. Fans like me can go on forever speaking about Mukeshji, but can not ignore the tremendous impact through his soulful singing which perhaps will linger forever.

Commemorating Mukeshji’s 32nd Anniversary, I would like to a pay a humble tribute through songs of my choice on this memorable day. He is still alive reviving every broken piece of heart with his supreme & sublime expression poured throughout his singing career.

Lastly, I have no words to express my thanks to Dr. Parasmaniji who had been very helpful and instrumental, correcting my gujju diction and always encouraging. Thanks Paras for accompanying me in this lovely duet. Friends, please give a listen to our humble attempt and leave your valuable feedback. Thanks to all for remembering "Mukeshji"

Raj Kapoor's Mukesh

2008-06-03T21:22:00.000-07:00

Dost Dost Na Raha
Film: Sangam
Original Singer: Mukesh
Music: Shankar Jaikishan
Sung by: Dinesh

Mukeshji's sweet & soulful voice needs no introduction. Mukesh is Rajkapoor's heart. His simple style has left us mesmerized forever.
His singing has infact touched so many hearts that mere words can't express such vastness in expressing sorrow.
Mukesh-Raj Kapoor-Shanker Jaikishan team has contributed some of the best music in the Bollywood Music Industry. With this beautiful composition from RajKapoor's film "Sangam" I would like to pay a humble tribute to these Great Legends who will remain immortal forever.
DOST DOST NA RAHA (Sangam)
