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.

“Dil Diya Dard Liya” (1966) is an archtypical Dilip Kumar movie. At least that is how it appeared to me when I became aware of this movie in my younger days. This movie was being shown in an open space in my colony for free. Young kids like me and my friends , after suffering through the movie for almost half the lenth of the movie, could take it no more and decided to call it quits. “What is all this pyar vyaar, rona dhona, why cannot the hero indulge in some maar dhaad instead”, our leader wondered aloud, and the rest of the kids whole heartedly agreed.
