Songs Repeated in Hindi Films – 25

Ah yes, of course. The reading of the title line tells us that we are getting another repeat song. And this one is a blockbuster – everybody knows the original, so I will not spend much time on that.

The date today is 7 july 2020. From the HFM point of view, birth anniversaries of Anil Biswas (born 1914) and Saraswati Kumar Deepak (born 1918) falls today. We have already honoured the two artists in two articles earlier today.

Some other important non HFM related things also happened on this day. It was on this day in 1928 that sliced bread was forst sold by Chillicothe Baking Company of Chillicothe, Missouri, USA. Their product, “Kleen Maid Sliced Bread was advertised as “the greatest forward step in the baking industry since bread was wrapped. This gave rise to the popular idiom “greatest thing since sliced bread”. 🙂

We in this blog have covered lots of HFM from all eras. While doing that, we have had lots of discussions on Hindi movies as well.

Yesterday night, and early morning today, I was thinking about the differences between Indian music and Western music, and I realised that there is considerable technical and conceptual differences between the two and the difference between the two kinds of music is something that very few people are aware of. I realised that the “western” music that we in India have brought in is not really “western” music as it is in the west. We have failed to import the spirit of western music. We have ended up introducing western instruments in India but we have failed to tap the vast richness of western music. We have ended up largely becoming a frog in the well, deluding ourselves that our music is older and richer and all that vis a vis western music, whereas the real facts are altogether different. It is a very interesting (at least to me) topic and a rather vast and somewhat involved topic as well. I hope to be able to discuss it in detail when I get my thoughts sorted out on this topic.

The first three songs in the movie “M S Dhoni- the untold story”(2016) were sports related songs and they all appear in the first half of the movie.

Dhoni’s gets selected into India A and then India team in the second part and his cricketing exploits as an international cricketer, after some initial disappointing performances, form the second half. At the same time, the second half of the movie deals with MSD’s love life. The songs in the second half of the movie are all romantic songs. He meets a girl, called Priyanka, who is not aware that MSD is an Indian cricketer. On realising that he is indeed an Indian cricketer but with no notable performances so far, she wishes him luck for the next match and predicts that he would have a great match. She does not know his name though. On asking his name, MSD replies that she would become aware of his match after the Vishakhapatnam match !

The first three songs in the movie (as well as the story) dealt primarily with cricket and the first three songs too dealt with cricket.

The think tank of the movie then may have decided that too much of sports was going to make things monotonous. Like in normal Hindi movies, romantic songs must be incorporated.

I have so far discussed two songs from the movie “M S Dhoni the untold story”(2016). The first song appeared after about 20 minutes into the movie while the second song appeared after the next 20 minutes. So it was like clockwork- one song after every 20 minutes.

I discussed the first song of “M S Dhoni the untold story”(2016) the previous day (31 january 2017). I have mentioned it in that writeup that I have quite a lot of observations to make on this movie. I have shared some of them with that writeup. Now here is the next installment.

I am not one who can sit through a Hindi movie for its full duration now a days. Moreover, I cannot even bear to watch most new movies. There are exceptions of course. For instance, I liked “Lage Raho Munna Bhai”, “PK”, etc. I in fact have discussed a few songs from these movies in the blog as well, where I mentioned that I liked these movies.
