It is often said that most festival songs that continue to be popular are several decades ago and that the festivals as well as the songs about them were no longer the same.

While I was busy checking up the details of Saif ali Khan whose birthday falls today(16 august), I came across the information that today is the birthday of Manisha Koirala too. I as well as the regular contributors had missed out on her birthday. It turns out that she was born on 16 july 1970, exactly on the same day and year that Saif Ali Khan was born. Could they be identical twins separated at birth, Hindi movie istyle ? 🙂 Not likely, because such separation at birth happens only in non royal families (viz. Pran and Nirupa Roy, for instance:) ). Here both Saif Ali Khan and Manisha Koirala happened to be born in royal families, silver spoon and all. 🙂

“1942 A Love Story” (1993) was a movie which was produced by Vidu Vinod Chopra and directed by Vidu Vinod Chopra. The movie, despite its publicity, was no great shakes.
But the music of this movie was quite a revelation. This movie was released a few months after the death of R D Burman. When music lovers heard the music of this movie, they sat up and took notice. Some reviwers even went as far as to state that this was the music ever composed by R D Burman ! I am not one to indulge in such odious comparisons, but I was one of those music lovers who found the music of the movie quite divine. When I went on to watch the movie, I found the movie quite a let down. The movie was supposed to be a period movie on 1942 but all the characters dressed, looked and behaved like people of 1990s.

Bollywood music touched its nadir in 1980s when “Disco” music took over the music scene. The fact that Bappi Lahiri and Mithun da were the biggest beneficiary of that era says it all. Bappi Lahiri (though capable of creating great music) preferred to create forgettable music. Mithun da indulded in so called disco “densing”, which, if you watched closely, bore little resemblence to actual “densing”. “Densing”, incidentally was how Mithun da pronounced “dancing”.

I can watch Bollywood songs any time, but ask me to watch a Bollywood movie containing the same songs and I develop cold feet. I find that the songs are often the only redeeming part of many movies.

Most of the songs posted in this blog are from 1970s and earlier. It is because I like to post those songs that people love to listen to even today. Most songs of 1990s and later are not as timeless as the earlier songs. In fact , many of these songs are forgotten within a few weeks after they are released.

By late 1980s, R D Burman was struggling to get assignments, because Bappi Lahiri and Anu Malik kind of music had invaded the Bollywood music scene. And R D Burman died a rather unsung death in 1991, as limelight had deserted him by that time.
