An Indian Morning celebrates not only the music of India but equally its various arts and artisans, poets and potters, kings and patriots. The first 30 minutes of the program features classical, religious as well as regional and popular music. The second one hour features community announcements and ear pleasing music from old/new & popular Indian films. The ethos of the program is summarized by its signature closing line, "Seeking the spirit of India, Jai Hind". 01-JINGLE BELLS, JINGLE BELLS JINGLE ALL THE WAY CD MISC-20191222 TRACK#01 2:52 CHRISTMAS CAROLS SONGS FOR CHILDREN-2016; SHAAN; SUSHANT SHARMA; TRADITIONAL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvVrs6jkc_w हार्दिक अभिनंदन आप सबका, शुक्रिया, धन्यवाद और Thank You इस प्रोग्राम को सुनने के लिए। We wish MERRY CHRISTMAS to all our listeners, particularly to all our Christian listeners. सभी ईसाइयों का सबसे अधिक महत्वपूर्ण त्योहार क्रिसमस का शाब्दिक अर्थ है क्राइस्ट्स मास। ईसा के जन्म सम्मान में की जाने वाली सामूहिक प्रार्थना। वास्तव में यह मात्र प्रार्थना न होकर एक बड़ा त्योहार है। प्रतिवर्ष 25 दिसंबर को क्रिसमस मनाया जाता है। ईसाइयों के लिए घटना का अत्यधिक महत्व है, क्योंकि वे मानते हैं कि जीसस ईश्वर के पुत्र थे, इसलिए क्रिसमस, उल्लास और खुशी का त्योहार है, क्योंकि उस दिन ईश्वर का पुत्र कल्याण के लिए पृथ्वी पर आया था। Many were such questions that are asked walking through this life; Can someone just tell what must we be doing now? When life loses hope and each step is curtailed by fear, darkness surrounds and neither way nor destiny is visible anywhere, then the heart was flooded with the rays of light and darkness was cast out of sight. A Star has shone out tearing down this blanket of dark night. EK TARA CHAMKA HAI… 02-EK TARA CHAMKA HAI CD MISC-20191222 TRACK#02 4:03 HINDI CHRISTMAS SONGS-2010; DOMENIC MARBANIANG, PRIYA ROBINSON & PHEBE PAUL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OfdRxap14E 'An Indian Morning' के सभी श्रोता को किशोर संपट का प्यार भरा नमस्कार। समूचे विश्व में मनोरंजन का सर्वाधिक लोकप्रिय माध्यम सिनेमा रहा है और भारत कोई व्यतिक्रम नहीं है। बीसवीं सदी के चौथे दशक से सवाक् फ़िल्मों की जो परम्परा शुरु हुई थी, वह आज तक जारी है और इसकी लोकप्रियता निरन्तर बढ़ती ही चली जा रही है। और हमारे यहाँ सिनेमा के साथ-साथ सिने-संगीत भी ताल से ताल मिला कर फलती-फूलती चली आई है। सिनेमा और सिने-संगीत, दोनो ही आज हमारी ज़िन्दगी के अभिन्न अंग बन चुके हैं। हमारी दिलचस्पी का आलम ऐसा है कि हम केवल फ़िल्में देख कर या गाने सुनने तक ही अपने आप को सीमित नहीं रखते, बल्कि फ़िल्म संबंधित हर तरह की जानकारियाँ बटोरने का प्रयत्न करते रहते हैं। इसी दिशा में आपके हमसफ़र बन कर हम आ रहे हैं हर रविवार ’An Indian Morning’ लेकर। दोस्तों, देखते ही देखते हम वर्ष 2019 के अन्तिम महीने पर आ गए हैं। कौन कौन सी फ़िल्में बनीं इस साल? उन सभी फ़िल्मों का गीत-संगीत कैसा रहा? ज़िन्दगी की भाग-दौड़ में अगर आपने इस साल के गीतों को ठीक से सुन नहीं सके या उनके बारे में सोच-विचार करने का समय नहीं निकाल सके, तो कोई बात नहीं। AN INDIAN MORNING पर वक़्त आ गया है इस साल की वार्षिक संगीतमाला का जिसमें चुने गए हैं मेरे द्वारा हर साल की तरह इस साल रिलीज़ हुई फिल्मों के मेरे कुछ पसंदीदा गीत। JANUARY 2019: 11 Uri: The Surgical Strike; Battalion 609; The Accidental Prime Minister; Evening Shadows 18 Why Cheat India; SP Chauhan; Fraud Saiyaan; Soni; 72 Hours: Martyr Who Never Died; Bombairiya; Rangeela Raja 25 Thackeray; Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi MANIKARNIKA: THE QUEEN OF JHANSI - RAJAJI For the first time in the soundtrack a female voice is heard, what with Pratibha Singh Baghel coming behind the mike for 'Rajaji'. A romantic number that plays between Manikarnika and her beau, this one has a sweet sound to it and brings on some light moments on screen. Pratibha does well as the voice of Kangana and she is joined by Ravi Mishra who arrives in the later part of the song. The song did not emerge as a chartbuster here but it fit in well into the film's narrative. 03-RAJAJI CD MISC-20191222 TRACK#03 3:47 MANIKARNIKA: THE QUEEN OF JHANSI-2019; PRATIBHA SINGH BAGHEL, RAVI MISHRA; SHANKAR-EHSAAN-LOY; PRASOON JOSHI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJ-j6euKdc8 FEBRUARY – 2019: 1 Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga 8 The Fakir of Venice; Amavas 14 Gully Boy 15 Hum Chaar 22 Total Dhamaal GULLY BOY: APNA TIME AAYEGA The music of Gully Boy is defined in one word, it is 'trippy'. There has been no precedence of such a soundtrack in Bollywood before and it turns out to be a trendsetter. The flagship number 'Apna Time Aayega' which is put to tune by Divine & Ankur Tewari. Former's lyrics along with Dub Sharma are truly acidic and one can clearly hear the cry of the underprivileged who wants to do something really good in life. A clear-cut chartbuster here. 04-APNA TIME AAYEGA CD MISC-20191222 TRACK#04 4:13 GULLY BOY-2019; RANVEER SINGH, DIVINE; DUB SHARMA, DIVINE; DIVINE, ANKUR TIWARI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWF_aFED2ik MARCH 2019: 1 Luka Chuppi; Sonchiriya 8 Badla 15 Hamid; Photograph; Milan Talkies; Risknamaa; Mere Pyare Prime Minister; 22 Yards 21 Kesari; Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota 29 Ram Ki Janmbhoomi; Notebook; Junglee; Gone Kesh KESARI – TERI MITTI 'Teri Mitti' is easily the best track in Kesari. In fact, it is also one of the best compositions to have been unveiled in 2019 as it has the right thump to it. Right from Manoj Muntashir's high impact lyrics that bring in the right mix of patriotism and emotions to the manner in which Arko composes this one with minimal instruments in the background, 'Teri Mitti' warrants a repeat hear. As for the man who makes it all possible, it is newcomer B Praak who impresses with his vocals and leaves a lasting impression. 05-TERI MITTI CD MISC-20191222 TRACK#05 4:32 KESARI-2019; B. PRAAK; AKRO; MANOJ MUNTASHIR https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wF_B_aagLfI APRIL – 2019: 5 Romeo Akbar Walter; Jai Chhathi Maa 12 Albert Pinto Ko Gussa Kyun Aata Hai?; The Tashkent Files 17 Kalank KALANK – FIRST CLASS 'First Class' is the best song of the soundtrack, what with a peppy tune, catchy lyrics and some 'masti se bharpoor' singing by Arijit Singh and Neeti Mohan. In fact, one wonders why this wasn't the first song to be promoted and placed right at the top of the soundtrack. With a start that reminds one of Pritam's own 'Afghan Jalebi' [Phantom] and the flow that is on the same lines as 'Saree Ke Fall Sa' [R... Rajkumar], 'First Class' is a chartbuster with cool rhythm accompanied by the dance moves that have become quite popular. 06-FIRST CLASS CD MISC-20191222 TRACK#06 4:47 KALANK-2019; ARIJIT SINGH, NEETI MOHAN; PRITAM; AMITABH BHATTACHARYA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8B0AzmXPV8 MAY – 2019: 3 Blank; Setters 10 Student of the Year 2 17 De De Pyaar De 24 India's Most Wanted; PM Narendra Modi; Yeh Hai India STUNDENT OF THE YEAR – MUMBAI DILLI DI KUDIYAAN We bring you 'Mumbai Dilli Di Kudiyaan'. Vishal Dadlani chips in with his rap portion for this fun number that has an intoxicating hook is pretty much on the lines of several chartbusters that Vishal-Shekhar had delivered around a decade ago. Dev Negi and Payal Dev do well behind the mike for this fun celebration number written by Vayu that has the trio of Tiger Shroff, Tara Sutaria and Ananya Pandey come together on screen and dance away to glory. A chartbuster track. 07-MUMBAI DILLI DI KUDIYAAN CD MISC-20191222 TRACK#07 5:46 STUDENT OF THE YEAR 2-2019; DEV NEGI, PAYAL DEV, VISHAL DADLANI; VISHAL-SHEKHAR; VAYU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSRzyPh1yJc JUNE – 2019: 5 Bharat 14 Khamoshi; Kissebaaz 21 Kabir Singh 28 Article 15 BHARAT – SLOW MOTION We bring 'Slow Motion' and the song is anything but slow motion at play here. A fast-paced number that is just the kind which goes with Salman Khan's image, it reminds one of the kind of numbers that were heard in his earlier films like Ready and Bodyguard. Nakash Aziz gets the 'sur' right when it comes to singing for a Salman Khan number and Shreya Ghoshal is a surprise choice as a situation like this could well have been a ready stage for Neha Kakkar to step in. Nonetheless, a foot tapping number that takes time to grow but does eventually. 08-SLOW MOTION CD MISC-20191222 TRACK#08 4:32 BHARAT-2019; NAKSH AZIZ, SHREYA GHOSHAL; VISHAL-SHEKHAR; IRSHAD KAMIL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AedZtuoVSg That was my selection for first six months, January to June of year 2019. Next week, we will bring last 6 months from July to December. 09-CHRISTMAS CAROLS MASHUP CD MISC-20191222 TRACK#09 3:02 CHRISTMAS CAROLS MASHUP-2017; SEON ALMEIDA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FiHwtLi3maQ नमस्कार, आपका आज का दिन और आने वाला सप्ताह शुभ हो! 10-TERI MERI MERRY CHRISTMAS CD MISC-20191224 TRACK#10 2:40 TERI MERI CHRISTMAS-2007; USHA UTHUP; NEEL DUTT & ANJAN DUTT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CRbANc8o18 THE END समाप्त
