“What is wrong Talat? This is not the way you sing usually”. Talat was just not singing the way he sang in Arzoo. After several retakes, too, Anil da was not satisfied. Yet something was missing in Talat’s voice today. (One of my all time Talat favorite).Īnd, yet, today Anil-da was very, very angry with Talat! He was the one who had found Talat and gave him the break in Arzoo.
#ULFAT BHARA SALAM KISI BEWAFA KE NAAM MUHAMMAD RAFI YOUTUBE MOVIE#
Talat’s first movie “Arzoo (1950)” was a hit and his song “Aye Dil Mujhe Aisi Jagah Le chal” picturised on Dilip Kumar & composed by Anil-da was a super-hit song. The year was 1951, the movie was “Aaram” and the young singer was Talat Mahmood, barely a movie old in the Mumbai Cinema and was desperate to make his mark in play-back singing field. For the music director who was guiding him was none other than the very famous, very talented, very powerful Anil Biswas. Cold sweat was discernible on his forehead. Let’s, my friends, then take the holy dip in that reservoir of divinity, forget our sorrows & let’s experience that soulful pleasure of Talat’s voice…! Shall we?Ĭlearly the young and handsome singer was nervous. However, if I were to hear Talat’s voice coming over from yonder being played in corner shops radios or in those dingy surrounding of a typical paan-thelas in any nook or corner of INDIA’s bustling streets, I would drop everything I was doing and would stop in my tracks to listen to those divine vocal chords soothing millions of listeners and giving them that soulful pleasure that no amount of money can buy.įor I would always see TRUTH, PURITY & GOD in Talat Sahab’s voice… Where is then need to visit the TEMPLE…? Unless forced by my wife (or it used to be by my late mother), I would generally not show willingness to go and visit a TEMPLE. Just try to recall Dilip Kumar singing “Ai Mere dil Kahin aur chal” (Daag 1952) and we suddenly feel a deep longing for Dilip’s sadness & feel some indescribable closeness with his inner melancholy that he is singing & articulating thru Talat’s silken voice. There is something divine in his voice that brings him closer to us and makes him our soul-buddy. Yet despite all his so-perceived shortcomings or, perhaps, in-spite of those so-called limitations, he is dear to me like he is to millions of his fans across the world. I am acutely aware of the limitations Talat’s voice has, the limitations of his singing range or even the sublime, pleasant vibrations of his vocal chords, that at times restricted the throw of his voice… I am well familiar with it all. His voice has given me immense amount of soulful pleasure in my lonely, melancholy moments and in my happy days too. Somewhere I feel myself deeply indebted to him. ) 🙂 🙂įriends, I am a die-hard fan of Talat-Sahab. Writing on Goddesses like Lata & Asha is best left to the professionals of highest repute, only for the obvious reasons. This is not to forget that each one of them was a GENIUS in his or her own right. Only Talat, Mukesh & Manna-da had created lesser body of work by singing relatively less number of songs in comparisons to say, Kishore-da or Rafi-sahab. It is virtually impossible to write on Kishore-da, Rafi-Sahab, Lata-didi or Asha-tai in a few page brief articles. So when, after writing on some of my favorite Music Composers, I thought of writing about a Singer the choice for me was NOT HARD TO MAKE…! In every field it had a genuine quality, in general, that is somehow missing today despite vast improvement in Technology! (Also called Mumbai Cine Industry or now Bollywood Industry) Virtually in every field, be it Movie Direction, Script Writing, Acting, Music Composition, Lyrics, Singing etc. The years between 50s to Mid 70’ were, without the slightest doubt, the golden era of HINDI CINEMA INDUSTRY. (Many folks, however, don’t listen to their instincts and inner voice only to repent later)…įriends, Talat Mahmood’s silken voice had the same ring of TRUTH & PURITY to it and that attracted the MUSIC CONNOISSEURS to it like a POT of HONEY would attract a swarm of BEES to it. Many a times we may even NOT BE ABLE TO ARTICULATE IT IN WORDS, but all our SENSES & our own very SOUL shall PUSH US AWAY from that latent UNPLEASANT ADULTERATION OR HYPOCRISY. We, the PEOPLE, instinctively, on an elemental level, recoil away from an ADULTERATION and IMPURITY! We don’t like it! We sense something WRONG with it. Well, if we were to ponder deeply, we would realize that people like and admire anything THAT RADIATES TRUTH & PURITY through its persona or through its being! That is a FACT for sure! Why do we like it? Have we ever tried to analyze it? For instance, it could be a product, a service, a song, a singer’s voice, a painting, a book, a movie, a speech, a leader’s personality, an actor, even an eatable recipe of a meal. Things meaning, it could be anything at all. Why do people like, admire, and revere things in life?
