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.

This song is from the Film Khaamoshi – The Musical. This is a comparatively new film for this blog. But since I like the songs of this film too much, I want to discuss this song first. The singer is Kavita Krishnamoorthy and the music director is the duo of Jatin-Lalit. Jatin-Lalit may not be the most original music directors of the 90’s but they brought a freshness to Hindi film music which had lost all appeal during the 80’s.

Most songs of this blog are from an era between 1931 to 1980s. Songs later than 1980s are often described by me as songs of post golden era when the songs were not what they used to be in the earlier decades.

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.

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.
