And by the time you come to the end of the cassette, you kind of have a picture of the movie.Īnd that may be the success of the young music director Devi Sri Prasad who has strained very hard to live to the expectations of Chiru's fans. The sharp rhythm and the infectious beat (for him to break into his inimitable dance movements) are certainly high. The songs of his forthcoming release Shankar Dada MBBS are typically mass entertainers. It is essential to remember this background before getting to evaluate any of his films or their songs. His films are unabashed entertainment - with a reason. He doesn't mind going a bit easy on artistic elements just to satisfy his fans. But, to the eternal credit of Chiru, he has always managed that. It is almost impossible to live up to such expectations. The kind of expectations that his legion of fans have for his films and their songs is staggering. The sobs you hear while the song plays are yours.Chiranjeevi is a prisoner to his image and his fans. Tujhe saab hai meri maa: Taare Zameen Par(2007): Poet Prasoon Joshi and composer-singer Shankar Mahadevan put together a song that seems threaded with the teardrops of a child missing his mother. Kailash Kher’s heartwarming ode to Mom is imperishable.
Mumma: Dusvidaniya(2008)-The film may be forgotten. Prasoon Joshi masterfully weaves both the mother and child’s sentimental in the same line of aural vision.A marvel of melodic creation. While the first half of the number has mom Lata Mangeshkar searching for her mischievous child as he plays a hide ‘n’ seek with her, the second-half of the song has son Rahman reaching out to his mother from a place where she can’t hear him. Lukka chuppi bahut hui saamne aaja na: Rang De Basanti(2006): The most unusually structured motherly song ever. Try listening to this Laxmikant-Pyarelal number without getting a lump in your throat. Maa mujhe apne aachal mein chupa le gale se lagaa le : Chota Bhai(1966): Master Mahesh pining for his mother in Lata Mangeshkar’s voice. Interestingly this same long-forgotten film(which marked the debut of Anjana Mumtaz as a leading lady) had Asha Bhosle singing another aching ode to the mom: Maa kaa aanchal ladle daaman hai bhagwan ka. Maa hai mohabbat ke naam maa ko hazaaron salaam: Maa Ka Aanchal(1970): Remarkable mainly for Kaifi Azmi’s emotional homage to the Mother Figure, the song is composed by Madan Mohan almost like a patriotic song.
Kishore Kumar sounded so much like Deven Verma in this song that listeners mistook the actor to be the actual singer of this Rajesh Roshan composition. This mom song has ‘son’ Deven Verma grumbling to his screen mom about his delayed marriage. Mummy oh mummy tu kab saas banegi: Khatta Meetha(1978): Again a departure from the syrupy norm. Whereas most motherly melodies in our movies sing in praise of the mother, this song composed by Laxmikant-Pyarelal actually has the child speaking about the absence of maternal love in his life! Lata Mangeshkar sang for Master Bobby who was just 9 years old. Maine maa ko dekha hai maa ka pyar nahin ka: Mastana(1970): An exceptional song. In this song that Rajendra Kumar sang for his screen-mother Sulochana(who was barely 15 years older) Burman Dada brings such strong feelings of filial bonding you feel he is not singing but offering prayer to the Mother.The umbilical chord lies unbroken. Composer Sachin Dev Burman’s voice had the power to rip a hole in your soul. Meri duniya hai maa tere aanchal mein: Talaash(1969). Lataji’s voice conveys the all-embracing love of a child reaching out to his mother, Nirupa Roy in the film.Laxmikant-Pyarelal who idolized Lataji’s voice insisted she sing for the child.The tansformation was magical. Tu kitni achchi hai tu kitni bholi hai pyai pyari hai oh ma….Raja Aur Runk In 1968 when Lata Mangeshkar was 39 years old she sang for the 11-year old child actor Master Mahesh (who grew up to be a well-known actor Mahesh Kothare in Marathi cinema).
