Saat rang mein khel rahi hai

On the occasion of Holi today, which is the fourth Holi for this blog, here is a Holi song from “Aakhir Kyon” (1985). The time from 1980s onwards was when my period of blackout from Hindi movies had begun, so it comes as no surprise that I am not much familiar with the music of those days. Personally I came across this Holi song just now and I found it quite a hummable and danceable song.

Remembering Mahendra Kapoor today, 9th January, his birth anniversary.
A resounding voice, that brings home the feeling of echoes in the valleys and mountains. A booming voice that is the representative and the choice for the rousing songs of chivalry and patriotism. A voice that is unmatched in the annals of the industry. A voice that has probably the widest vocal range amongst the contemporary singers and is rich in the higher octaves. Likened with the famed Italian tenor, Pavarotti, Mahendra Kapoor was always called upon to render the songs that needed power and exuberance. Listening to his voice gives a strong feeling of mountains and wide open spaces full of sound and melody. His songs are remembered for their inspiring and dominant strength.

“Baaton Baaton Mein” (1979) is a movie that was not about superhuman characters, but about average day to day characters like you and me. And the depiction of their hopes, aspirations, joys, sorrows and other feelings of the characters were so natural and one could empathise with them. And when these feelings are expressed in the form of songs which are written with heart, composed with sensitivity and sung with feeling, that such songs are bound to be remembered and recalled.

When India won the world cup on 2nd april 2011, it was a great feeling for millions of Indian cricket fans and they celebrated late into the nights and well into the next day and the next. The fact that the final was played on saturday and there were two days of holidays on the following days (Sunday being the normal holiday and monday being Indian calender’s new year day), people had enough time to celebrate and get over the hangover.

By 1980s, the lyrics of Hindi movie songs had become much more functional and basic. In many cases, the songs of that era virtually dispensed with the need of any meaningful lyrics and managed with gibberish passing for lyrics.

It has been one of those big mysteries of Bollywood which I have not been able to fathom yet. Just why did Kala Patthar not become one of the biggest block-busters of all times! Heck, it is not even among the top 50 grossers of 1970’s (it was released in 1979)

Many of the songs I have posted on this blog so far have been songs of the 1970s. I will not be so presumptuous as to claim that these songs are any better than songs of another decade. Every decade has produced its memorable songs and many would consider the golden period of Hindi film music to have started already in the 1940s/50s.
