Archive for the ‘Song sung by three or more singers’ Category
This song is a long pending farmaish for this blog. This song is “Haseenon ki adaayen”, aka “haan ye bholi soorat waale” from “Chaar Din” (1949). This song has been giving me lots of troubles. For one, this song has not one , but two parts. And secondly, each of the part is supposed to have three singers each and as per credits, only one singer is repeated in the other part of the song. But I can clearly notice that these parts have more than three singers singing in them. Moreover, more than one common voice can be heard in both the versions.

I have mentioned this fact about Hindi movie songs that most of them are about human feelings viz love, sadness, happiness and not about commerce/business. In fact there are very few songs that are about selling some products. I have discussed a few songs where chanajor or similar stuff is being sold. In one such write up, readers came up with the list of a few other songs where some item was being sold.

When a normal human being misses his/her beloved, you expect them to bear it privately. But a Hindi movie hero/heroine missing his/her beloved decides to make a public spectacle of themselves. They quickly burst into a missing you song whose lyrics could be something like “Main yahaan hoon tu hai kahaan” or “Ab to aa jaa” etc. They go all over the town singing the song. One can expect them to be doing that in India, but imagine doing them in the streets of Venice, Italy and the local population not even batting their eyelids !

This article is written by Sudhir,a fellow enthusiast of Hindi movie music and a regular contributor to this blog.
Vasant Desai had a fairly long stint of thirty plus years in the film industry, and yet his total assignments as a music director are less than fifty. It is said that he did not take up or did not get many assignments because of his style. His style is deeply rooted in the classical and folk traditions, and he maintained that style throughout his career. In the 60s and 70s, his assignments are few and far between, and yet, with each outing as a composer, he has left an indelible mark.
