An Indian Morning
Sunday May 16th, 2021 with Dr. Harsha V. Dehejia and Kishore "Kish" Sampat
An Indian Morning, celebrating and seeking the spirit of India thru sounds, stories, music & songs.

Namaste! And for us in India, we express Mangal, the benevolent, through color and sound, image and gesture, Ganesh and Lakshmi, the colour red, the sound of shehnai, the ringing of a temple bell is Mangalmai. For to be Mangalmai is to be radiant and joyous not just for ourselves, but for everyone around. For Mangala bestows our blessings everywhere. Let us this Sunday morning through the Akashwani of CKCU make this a Mangal morning.

Dixit made her debut with Abodh (1984) and hit gold after a series of flops with Tezaab (1988). Ek Do Teen from Tezaab is counted as one of the most popular songs in Hindi cinema, and it proved to be a sign of things to come for Dixit. 03-Ek Do Teen Char Panch Chhe Saat CD MISC-20210516 Track#03 5:47 TEZAAB-1988; Alka Yagnik; Laxmikant-Pyarelal; Javed Akhtar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOGWtJt6I0Q Dixit’s box office magnet status was sealed with Beta (1992). Her steamy, breast-thrusting number Dhak Dhak Karne Laga is one of her greatest hits. She was paired with Anil Kapoor in numerous films, including Khel (1992). Ek Baat Maan Lo Tum from Khel (1992), better known as the Idlo Doo song, is Madhuri Dixit’s version of Sridevi’s Hawa Hawaai from Mr India (1987). The following year, the suggestive Choli Ke Peeche became one of the biggest talking points of Khalnayak (1993) opposite her frequent co-star, Sanjay Dutt. 04-Choli Ke Peeche Kya Hai CD MISC-20210516 Track#04 5:00 KHALNAYAK-1993; Alka Yagnik, Illa Arun; Laxmikant-Pyarelal; Anand Bakshi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nd5NLbUu44 Despite her undisputed ability to hold the camera’s attention, Dixit was a generous dancer, allowing her co-stars enough room to shine. In Koi Ladki Hai from the musical Dil To Pagal Hai, she danced in a contemporary style to Shiamak Davar’s choreography with Shah Rukh Khan. Who’s a better dancer than Michael Jackson imitator Prabhudeva? Madhuri Dixit, the original. 05-Kay Sara Sara Jo Bhi Ho To Ho CD MISC-20210516 Track#05 6:18 PUKAR-2000; Kavita Krishnamurthy, Shankar Mahadevan; A. R. Rahman; Javed Akhtar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvmcGSDzZU8 In Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Devdas (2002), Madhuri plays Chandramukhi, the courtesan who falls for the titular alcoholic. Maar Dala and Dola Re Dola Re are showcases of Dixit’s classical training and testaments to Saroj Khan’s imagination. Madhuri Dixit made the first of many comebacks for Devdas. She had married American surgeon Shriram Nene in 1999 and had moved to Denver. 06-Maar Daala CD MISC-20210516 Track#06 4:35 DEVDAS-2002; Kavita Krishnamurthy; Ismail Darbar; Nusrat Badr https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVg6Ehu1VXY She returned for Anil Mehta’s dance themed Aaja Nachle in 2007. The film flopped, but Madhuri’s dancing abilities were a hit. Saroj Khan returned too to choreograph Dixit in Gulaab Gang, calling her a “choreographer’s delight”. Dixit’s poise and grace in Hamari Atariya from Dedh Ishqiya earned her praise from the song’s choreographer Birju Maharaj. It was a “memorable experience”, said the kathak maestro since Dixit is a “fantastic dancer”. Madhuri Dixit is still the embodiment of beauty, talent, class and grace, more so than all current actresses put together. Happy 54th birthday Madhuri Dixit! 07-Hamari Atariya Pe, Tanik Ho Jaaye CD MISC-20210516 Track#07 3:55 DEDH ISHQIYA-2014; Rekha Bhardwaj; Vishal Bhardwaj; Gulzar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BOWrHtthyc 97-ANTMEIN-SIGNOFF – 2:17 BACKGROUND MUSIC: INSTRUMENTAL-DHAK DHAK KARNE LAGA ----------------------------------------------------------अंत मे छोटी सी बात ‘An Indian Morning’ की तरफसे: ---------------------------------------------------------- “The very temptation in the city to turn night into day is of itself health-undermining, stamina-dissipating and character-weakening.” -Orison Swett Marden “शहरी सभ्यता में रात को दिन में बदल देने की तमन्ना, स्वयं में ही स्वास्थ्य को खोखला करने, ताकत को छितराने और चरित्र को कमज़ोर करने का कृत्य है।” -ऑरिसन स्वेट मार्डेन ---------------------------------------------------------- हमारा आपके साथ आज यहीं तक का सफर था. तो चलिए आपसे अब हम विदा लेते है. अगली मुलाकात तक खुश रहिये, स्वस्थ रहिये और हाँ An Indian Morning पर हमसे मिलते रहिये. हंसते रहिये, क्योंकि हंसना निशुल्क है और एक सुलभ दवा है। Well, that's all the time we have with you today!
