Rona kabhi nahin rona

It was one of those Rajesh Khanna movies that I watched when it was released in 1970s and thoughroughly enjoyed the movie. Those were the days when the era of Hero singing sad songs throughout the movie and getting bashed by the villain ( Pran, typically) was coming to an end. The new age hero of 1970s took it lying down only till the interval and then took to action in the second half. “Apna desh ” was one such movie.

Kishore Kumar has sung lots of songs that could be described as happy, romantic, comedy, sad etc. But there was one category of song where Kishore has not figured too many times. And this is the category of ghazal.
Here is a song that could be called a ghazal. If it is not so, plese correct me. This is a Kishore Kumar solo song, and quite a nice song. Yes, it is picturised on Rajesh Khanna. How did you guess that ?

For those who lived in India during 1960s and 1970s, and who listened to radio Ceylon every morning, 7-30 to 8 AM was the time for old songs. Most people (masses) including kids like me scoffed at these old songs and waited for 8 AM. Last song of that programme was by K L Sehgal, and we would know that the “aaphi ke geet” programme, where new songs were played was just round the corner. All over the country, listeners, including the farmaish senders from Jhumri Tilaiyya and elsewhere would start paying more attention.
There was one exception during this time slot between 7-30 to 8 AM though, and that would arrive on the first day of every new month. This was a song of Kishore Kumar that would go ” din hai suhana aj pahli tarikh hai”. Even those who could not stand old songs would approve of this song. It was the only song of that programme that no one ever found boring or grumbled against.

Kishore Kumar sang most of his earlier songs under the music direction of S D Burman. But he did sing under other music directors too. But as far as sad/ serious songs were concerned, most such songs of Kishore Kumar tended to be under the music direction of S D Burman and typically picturied on Dev Anand.
But Kishore Kumar’s prowess in singing sad/ serious songs was being acknowledged by other music directors too. And Kishore Kumar was getting chances to sing for himself in movies as well.

Rajesh Khanna had acted opposite many actresses right from seniors like Asha Parekh and Sharmila Tagore to his contemporaries like Hema Malini and Rekha as well as juniors like Shabana Azmi and Smita Patil. There are many Bollywood stars who have acted opposite their wives before marrying them. Rajesh Khanna did not acted against Dimple, but he did something rare. He is perhaps the only leading actor who has acted against his sister in law in a movie.

Boat songs, where the singer sings about maajhi(boatman) and the boat were the speciality of S D Burman as a singer and music director. But here, his son R D Burman has created music that his father must have been proud of .
And the voice of Kishore Kumar is nothing short of magical. It has been chronicled that the people present at the time of recording of this song were so much moved by Kishore Kumar’s singing that they cried. Kishore Kumar’s voice full of pain and pathos had that effect on them.

Kishore Kumar has sung some awesome sad songs, which are very well known. These days,I have been unearthing some forgotten gems of Kishore Kumar. Surprisingly, these forgotten songs are not all that old. These songs were recorded in 1980s. The fact that the movies to which these songs belonged failed miserably, may have been one of the reasons why these songs failed to become as popular as they should have.

1980s had seen steady deterioration in the quality of Bollywood movie music, but every once in a while one could still come across some beautiful songs.
Here is one such song. The movie sank almost without trace, but this song has remained in memory. A beautifully sung song by Kishore Kumar for that ageing superstar Rajesh Khanna. Such songs were almost becoming anachronism in those days, and I do not think this song became too popular. But as far as discerning listeners are concerned, it will count among the best songs of Kishore Kumar.

It was Music director S D Burman who gave Kishore Kumar the chance of singing for the then matinee idol Dev Anand starting from Baazi (1951), and how well Kishore Kumar responded to the opportunity.
He did a good job, and that enabled him to get a foothold on the industry as a playback singer, singing for Dev Anand, the then heart throb of millions.
