While assisting director Hemen Gupta on the film Kabuliwala (1961), based on Tagore’s story, Gulzar wrote the lyrics of Ganga Aaye Kahan Se, which was set to the tune of an east Bengal bhatyali (boatman) folk composition by Salil Chowdhury. Gulzar’s obsession with all things Bengali began to take shape, from the use of melodies to films inspired by Bengali writers and filmmakers. His marriage to the actress Rakhee, whom he humorously referred to as his “bangalan” wife, turned the Sikh writer into a “half Bengali”, he said. The non-film album Gulzar in Conversation with Tagore features seven songs based on Hindi translations of poems by Tagore. The indefatigable 82-year-old poet and filmmaker has written the lyrics for compositions by Shantanu Moitra and Shreya Ghoshal, all rendered by the singer Shaan. A poem narrated by Gulzar forms a prelude to each song, leading to a composition that is inspired by Rabindra Sangeet in its use of minimal orchestration and emphasis on lyrics. In Singaar Ko Rehne Do, the excellent use of a shehnai and a stringed instrument on Ghoshal’s ethereal vocals reflects the semi-classical influence. The nightingale voice of Bollywood - Shreya Ghoshal has sung 'Singaar Ko Rehne Do' from the album 'Gulzar in Conversation With Tagore'. Gulzar Sahab’s voice sets the narrative to this song which talks about the fact that a woman looks best when she is herself, without any make-up, raw uninhibited beauty is a girl's ornament. The elegance of Tagore’s poetry is weaved into lyrics by Gulzar Sahab and Shantanu Moitra’s music compliments it. Though it's sung from a guy's perspective it’s one song that every girl can surely relate to. 04-SINGAAR KO REHNE DO CD MISC-20190616 TRACK#04 4:12 GULZAR IN CONVERSATION WITH TAGORE-2017; SHREYA GHOSHAL; SHANTANU MOITRA; GULZAR & RABINDRANATH TAGORE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pmneCuFcfA&feature=player_embedded_uturn Bujh Gaya Tha Kyun Diya has shades of Ala Amar Alo and Tu, the ghazal Moitra composed in Bobby Jasoos (2014). Shaan and Ghoshal switch to singing a stanza in Bengali towards the end of the track, lifting the melody as a bridge between languages. 05-BUJH GAYA THA KYUN DIYA CD MISC-20190616 TRACK#05 6:13 GULZAR IN CONVERSATION WITH TAGORE-2017; SHREYA GHOSHAL, SHAAN; SHANTANU MOITRA; GULZAR & RABINDRANATH TAGORE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p60U04BLhNk अलबेला मौसम कहता है-तोहफा १९८४ अभिवादन के शब्द हमेशा सुनने में अच्छे लगते हैं चाहे वो किसी भी भाषा के हों, बस समझ में आना चाहिए क्या बोला जा रहा है। सुनते हैं एक स्वागतम गीत फिल्म तोहफा से किशोर और लता का गाया हुआ। बरसों पहले भी यह मधुर सुनाई देता था और आज भी मधुर सुनाई देता है। इन्दीवर की रचना को सुरों में ढाला है बप्पी लहरी ने। गीत में आपको फुग्गे वाली फ़िएट कार भी देखने को मिलेगी। 06-ALBELA MAUSAM KEHTA HAI SWAGATAM CD MISC-20190616 TRACK#06 3:50 TOHFA-1984; KISHORE KUMAR, LATA MANGESHKAR; BAPPI LAHIRI; INDEEVAR https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqXlvOb2YJI In 1997, Kajol marked her debut in Tamil cinema in a wonderfully beautiful film by Rajiv Menon titled Minsara Kanavu. Remade into Hindi as Sapnay, the film was a charming romance about love. But it was the music by AR Rahman that really set the film apart. With a brilliant soundtrack, Rahman gave an evidence of why he was considered the 'Mozart' of music back then. we take a look at the tracks that make Sapnay a wonderful film to revisit to this day. 'Chanda Re Chanda Re' This is, by far, the track of the album. A beautiful love ballad from the pen of Javed Akhtar, it found perfect expression in the voices of Sadhna Sargam and Hariharan. If that wasn't enough, Prabhu Deva gives the song a new dimension with his almost balletic choreography. Of course, there is Kajol. What else do you need? 07-CHANDA RE CHANDA RE CD MISC-20190616 TRACK#07 5:00 SAPNAY-1997; HARIHARAN, SADHNA SARGAM; A. R. RAHMAN; JAVED AKHTAR https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4aA0HnStYQ Aaj Se Teri This extremely soulful love ballad starts off rather interestingly with the use of shehnai. And soon Arijit Singh lifts it up with his melodious voice. It's one of the best songs of Arijit Singh. But the major reason this easy on ears song works is the innocence it's laced with and that is all thanks to the lyrics of Kausar Munir. This one is winner and is among the top ten songs of 2018. 08-AAJ SE TERI CD MISC-20190616 TRACK#08 4:41 PADMAN-2018; ARIJIT SINGH; AMIT TRIVEDI; KAUSAR MUNIR https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9_039bQsXw We bring you #TheherJaoNa, a #ZeeMusicOriginals song sung by Jeet Gannguli & Aakanksha Sharma. 09-THEHER JAO NA CD MISC-20190616 TRACK#09 3:17 ZEE MUSIC ORIGINALS-2018; JEET GANGULI, AAKANKSHA SHARMA; JEET GANGULI; RASHMI VIRAG https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogzykI3yQFE Signoff HAPPY FATHER’S DAY ….पितृ-दिवस पर चरण वंदन। 10-PITAAH CD MISC-20190616 TRACK#10 5:33 PITAAH-2002; UDIT NARAYAN; ANAND RAJ ANAND; PRAVIN BHARDWAJ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4fbNmlFfYo THE END समाप्त
