A R Rahman – The Musician of 21st Century – 12

This was the last post in the series.

Every day I find myself humming one song or the other of ARR’s compositions. It is only in the last decade or so ARR has started to compose songs for films made in Hindi only. For more than two decades, the maestro was focused more on Tamil/telegu and some time Malayalam film industry and composing music for them. Some of these movies were made in hindi also simultaneously. But most were made in Tamil/Telegu and dubbed for the hindi version.
Despite this fact, the impact of ARR brand is evident all around.

Today’s song is the Last and final song from the Family Drama film Saas bhi kabhi Bahu thi – 1970.

The title of the film immediately reminds us of the popular TV serial Saas bhi kabhi Bahu thi which continuously ran from 3-7-2000 to 6-11-2008 in its first run and then the Season 2 started from 29-7-2025. Though the name of the serial and this film are similar, there is no connection between them. Of course, as the name suggests both were about the sour relationships of the Mother in law and the Daughter in law, which finally end in the sweet way – as expected by the audience and provided by the producers !

Sas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi (1970) is a classic Bollywood family drama-comedy that delves into the eternal, generation-spanning conflicts between mothers-in-law (saas) and daughters-in-law (bahu). Produced and Directed by V. Madhusudan Rao and featuring music by R. D. Burman, the film serves as a lesson in how misunderstanding can fracture a home and how empathy ultimately rebuilds it.

Today’s song is the last and final song from a not so well known, but deserving film – Saudamini (1950).

In Hindi (and in almost all Indian languages) films, well known and popular dramas, Novels, Stories and the famous writers have played a significant role in providing material to make logical and meaningful films with a message to the people or a particular society. I can say that films based on famous and popular writings have been made into more qualitative presentations than films on Folk stories and Historical Myths.
