MUTTERINGS #66: TERE BINA.....

Tere Bina Zindagi Se Koyi, Shikwa, To Nahi,
Shikwa Nahi, Shikwa Nahi, Shikwa Nahi

Tere Bina Zindagi Bhi Lekin, Zindagi, To Nahi,
Zindagi Nahi, Zindagi Nahi, Zindagi Nahi
Tere Bina Zindagi Se Koyi, Shikwa, To Nahi

Kaash Aisa Ho Tere Qadmo Se,
Chun Ke Manzil Chale Aur Kahi
Door Kahi - 2
Tum Gar Saath Ho, Manzilo Ki Kami To Nahi
Tere Bina Zindagi Se Koyi, Shikwa, To Nahi

Jee Mein Aata Hai, Tere Daaman Mein,
Sar Jhuka Ke Ham Rote Rahe,
Rote Rahe - 2
Teri Bhi Aankho Mein, Aansuo Ki Nami To Nahi

Tere Bina Zindagi Se Koyi, Shikwa, To Nahi,
Shikwa Nahi, Shikwa Nahi, Shikwa Nahi
Tere Bina Zindagi Bhi Lekin, Zindagi, To Nahi,
Zindagi Nahi, Zindagi Nahi, Zindagi Nahi

Tum Jo Keh Do To Aaj Ki Raat,
Chaand Doobega Nahi,
Raat Ko Rok Lo -2
Raat Ki Baat Hai, Aur Zindagi Baaki To Nahi

Tere Bina Zindagi Se Koyi, Shikwa, To Nahi,
Shikwa Nahi, Shikwa Nahi, Shikwa Nahi
Tere Bina Zindagi Bhi Lekin, Zindagi, To Nahi,
Zindagi Nahi, Zindagi Nahi, Zindagi Nahi

MUSIC #78: 16 TOP HITS 1975 (HINDI OST)

Here’s a collection of 16 hot songs from the early to mid 1970’s compiled by Polydor Records. One thing I did notice about this compilation is that Kishore Kumar is the only male singer featured. I wonder why? Any ideas from you out there?

BTW, I love the picture of Shoma Anand (from the movie Barood) on the cover. This is also the picture featured on fellow blog mate’s site, Music From the Third Floor.

My verdict: 5 star compilation

MUSIC #78: 16 TOP HITS 1975 (HINDI OST)

MUSIC #70: RAJA RANI 1973 (HINDI OST)

Another gem from the 1970’s and music director Rahul Dev Burman. It’s been an album that been eluding me and viola, one day I get an email from a friend in the UK …. “Veen, do I have an LP for you!” Well, did he ever. Thank you Shafiq….I have been wearing out the needle of my player listening to this (and another MP3 album actually, Abhinetri, from my friend Babu....thank you Babu!).

Raja Rani (King and Queen) the movie is directed by Sachin Bhowmick and stars Hindi screen legend Rajesh Khanna and Sharmila Tagore. For an insight to the movie, check out my friend Greta’s review at MEMSAAB STORY.

In my opinion, this is one of RD great albums, although it is not as well known as his others such as Caravan, Yaadon Ki Baraat and Sholay. However, this album would differ from RD’s other albums as most of the songs here are in the mujhra or court dancing music style and classic Hindi movie genre…except for “Jab Andhere Hota Hai” which is in the typical RD cabaret style music and the start of “Na Tum Se Hui Na Hum Se Hui” … great insert of psychedelic music here.

For me all the songs are great in their own rights but if I had to pick favourites, I am going for “Jab Andhere Hota Hai” and “Lal Chunariya Odhke”. Asha Bhosle was nominated Best Female Playback Singer for "Jab Andhera Hota Hai", the only Filmfare nomination for Raja Rani. It does not surprise me, as both the song and Asha sizzle! BTW, Anand Bakshi is the lyricist for this album.

My verdict: 5 stars

4. Na Tum Se Hui Na Hum Se Hui – Lata Mangeshkar

MUSIC #70: RAJA RANI 1973 (HINDI OST)

MUSIC #60: LAKHON ME EK 1971 (HINDI OST)

Lakhon Me Ek (literally translated = “one in a hundred thousand” but actually means “One In A Million”) the album is just as it name suggests….a rare gem that has gotten lost in music obsecurity, in my opinion, only because the film did not boast the superstars of the era. It did however star the Bollywood comic of all time, Mehmood. I know I saw this movie as a kid but I have to admit I can’t remember much, if any actually, about it. Another DVD to add to my want list, that’s for sure.

The album is by Rahul Dev Burman and lyrics are by Anand Bakshi. The most famous and popular song from this album is “Chanda O Chanda” and one of my favourites. Check out the youtube clip included in this post. Next on my list would be “Main Tera Naam”, a very ‘cabaret’ sounding tune but unfortunately, I could not find any clippings for it. Would have really loved to see the dance scene….so if anyone out that has a clipping, please do share! And then there’s “Jogi O Jogi”, a real hoppity tune that had me imagining Jeetendra and Leena Chandravakar, doing their crazy dance scenes in beat with this tune. And if you like parody tunes, “Mere Samne Wale” will surely get you going! So sit back and enjoy this one in a million soundtrack.

MUSIC #60: LAKHON ME EK 1971 (HINDI OST)

MUSIC #01: PYAR KA MOUSUM 1969 (HINDI OST)

Pyar Ka Mousum is a 1969 movie directed, produced and written by Nasir Hussain which stared Shashi Kapoor and Asha Parekh. The music is composed by Rahul Dev Burman and lyrics are by Majrooh Sultanpuri.

This is one of the few records that I can remember from my childhood and I know for a fact that my mother wore out the needle of our JVC record player from playing this record over and over again. Her favourite song was ‘Ni Sultana Re’ which at that time, then became my favourite song by proxy – at that age, I did not have a choice! But I can understand why she liked the song. It has a lovely tune that changes tempo and great lyrics to boot (lyrics available HERE).

Now however, I tend to favour my dad’s favourite from the album – the Mohammad Rafi’s version of ‘Tum Bin Jaon Kahan’. It has a beautiful haunting melody and such romantic lyrics. This is my weak attempt (with my limited comprehension of Hindi) of translating the first and second verse of this song.

Tum bin jaon kahan x2Where would I go without you x2?
Ki duniya mein aake, kuch na phir, chaaha kabhi, tumko chaahke,Since coming into this world, I have not desired anything/anyone after desiring you.
Tum bin.
Without you.

Reh bhi sako gaye kaise, ho ke mujhse juda.How can you live separated from me?
Phat jaaye gi deewarein, sun ke meri sada.The barriers will tumble upon hearing my call,
Aana hoga tumhe mere liye saathi meri suni raha keAnd you will have to come to me, you, my companion of this lonely journey,

Now isn’t that romantic? Sigh!

Overall, I give this album 4 stars out of 5.

The full tracks of this album (in movie order) are:

1. Tum Bin Jaon Kaha 1 – Kishore Kumar
2. Ni Sultana Re – Mohd Rafi and Lata Mageshkar
3. Aap Si Miliye – Lata Mangeshkar
4. Aap Chahen Mujko – Lata Mangeshkar
5. Main Na Miloongi – Lata Mangeshkar
6. Tum Bin Jaon Kaha 2 – Mohd Rafi
7. Che Khush Nazare – Mohd Rafi
8. Na Ja Mere Hamdam – Lata Mangeshkar
9. Tum Bin Jaon Kaha 3 – Mohd Rafi (movie version)
