Lata Mangeshkar: 5 Songs That Sing About Healing
Javed Akhtar is among the millions who believe Lataji’s voice to the therapeutic. “When your morale is down or when your not feeling well, her songs immediately restore and heal you,” he said. Here are the 5 songs of Lataji that are known to have a healing affect.
- Jago mohan pyare(Jagte Raho): In The Raj Kapoor produced experimental film about one anonymous man’s quest to quench his thirst one desperate dark and lonely night, RK needed a song for the climax where the thirsty man is finally given water by a kind lady. In a chat some time ago Lataji recalled, “It was a very special song.Nargisji was to sing it on screen. This is the last time she appeared in a film of Raj Saab. Iss gaaane mein bahot shakti aur gehrayee hai. Raj Saab believed it could heal the soul. Salidada(Chowdhary) composition was a tough one.I always suspected he used to deliberately put hurdles in a composition to challenge me.”
- Aaja piya tohe pyar doon(Baharon Ke Sapne): Majrooh Sultanpuri Saab’s lyrics Kis liye tu itna udhas sookhe sookhe honth ankhiyon mein pyaas…. Hone de re jo ye julmi hai, path tere gaaon ke. Palkon se chun daloongi main, Kaante teri raahon ke…are so steeped in a feeling of protectiveness. Asha Parekh who lip-synced the song says, “This is one of my most favourite songs that I’ve sung on screen. Bahot hi khubsoorat likha hai .And R D Burman has invested the words with such a beautiful tune.As for Latabai’s singing her voice has the tenderness that can move mountains and heal broken hearts.So many times when my I am dep[ I’ve turned to this song for comfort.”
- Lag jaa gale se(WohKaun Tthi): One of Lataji’s most popular songs, an evergreen with an ever-renewable therapeutic value. Said Lataji, “I don’t know what it about this song.So many people have told me it makes them feel better on a despondent day.All I can say is, if my songs have helped people to smile,then I’ve had a successful life.”
- Jiss path pe chala uss path pe mujhe aanchal toh bichane de(Yaadgaar): Manoj Kumar remembers this Yaadgaar song very well. “I had a hit song Ek tara bole by Mahendra Kapoor. But we needed a solo for the great Nutan.This was my one and only film with her. We needed an outstanding song where the heroine tries to boost the hero’s morale.Indeevar’s lyrics were magical.Kalyanji-Anandji came up with an outstanding composition .And who but Lataji to sing this song about healing? Unki awaaz sun ke toh jung ruk jaye(her voice can stops wars).”
- Chhod he saari duniya kisike liye yeh munaasib nahin aadmi ke liye(Saraswatichandra): The ultimate song about healing, it is counted among the best written songs of Hindi cinema: Kitni hasrat se takti hai kaliyaan tumhe in bahaaron ko phirse bulaate nahin/Ek duniya ujad hee gayi hai toh kya doosra tum jahan kyon basaate nahin. Said Lataji, “Yeh gaana bahot hi lokpriya hai. Kitno ne mujhe kaha ki iss gaane se unhe prerna mili hai(this song is very popular. So many have told me that this song has given them encouragement).” Lataji credits the words of the haunting melody for its abiding popularity. “Indeevarji ne kamaal ke shabd likhe hain.”

Aamir Khan’s Sister Plays Shah Rukh’s Mother In Pathaan

Ever since Pathaan released on Wednesday, audiences have been curious to know who is the woman who plays Shah Rukh Khan’s adoptive mother in Afghanistan. The stately lady with royal looks is none other than the late producer Tahir Hussain’s daughter and Aamir Khan’s elder sister Nikhat Khan.
Nikhat has been closely associated with the film industry and has helped her father in the production of his films like Dulha Bikta Hai and Tum Mere Ho.
Nikhat has acted earlier in the Akshay Kumar starrer Mission Mangal , Ajay Devgan’s Tanhaji and in Sandh Ki Aankh(as a Maharani).
For Pathaan, it was Shah Rukh Khan who suggested Nikhat Khan should play his foster-mother in Afghanistan who names him ‘Pathaan’. It proved to be an inspired piece of casting, as audience have loved Nikhat Khan’s cameo.
It is heartwarming that all three Khan superstars are associated with Pathaan in one way or the other.

Anurag Kashyap’s New Film Is About Love Jihad

Love Jihad, whatever that means, is the theme of Anurag Kashyap’s new film Almost Pyaar With D J Mohabbat.
Debutant Karan Mehta plays a Muslim boy in an intense relationship with Alaya F who plays a Hindu girl.Kashyap has spared the audience none of the ugliness that such a relationship generates among social-media bouncers, the self-styled guardian of morality .
In the hardhitting powerful and pertinent film a bigot is heard commenting snidely, “These people first talk about Mohabbat. Then they talk about Mohammed.”
Happily and surprisingly, the Central Board Of Film Certification gave the film a ‘UA’ certificate with no cuts: a rare non-‘A’ film of Kashyap.
So far Kashyap and his team have kept the Love Jihad part of the plot out of all media interaction.
But the cat is now out of the bag.

Bollywood’s Achche Din Have Come

All you doomsday prophets, the booms-day profits are here. Pathaan has opened the floodgates again for Bollywood’s bumper bonanza at the boxoffice.And now there is only the achche din ahead for Hindi cinema.
In the next two months there are three sureshot blockbusters coming up, beginning with Shehzada. An astute devilishly impish adaptation of Allu Arjun’s 2020 Telugu blockbuster Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo.The super-popular Kartik Aaryan gives his own spin to the character. This performance will take Kartik to the next level of stardom. Kartik’s version of Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo is radically different from its Telugu version. Shehzada takes the core idea of the Telugu original and turns it into a something completely different. Kartik’s co-star in Shehzada is Kriti Sanon with whom he earlier shared superhit space in Lukka Chuppi.
Then there is Luv Ranjan’s ravishing rom-com Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar. The director’s male viewpoint on the chaos of love relationships crests to a comic high in his latest. Ranjan for the first time, collaborates with Ranbir Kapoor for the first time collaborates with Shraddha Kapoor who badly needs a hit.This film should do the trick. The winsome lead pair tries to do one another in a game of Luv This is Luv Ranjan’s Hum…Aapke Hain Con. Ranjan has in the past used the romcom space to entertain his audience to the hilt, he says this time the stakes are different. It is not something we’ve seen before.
Finally it is Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani. Karan Johar’s first directorial in six years(not counting the one segment each in Ghost Stories and Lust Stories). This time he has assembled a dream star-cast of Dharmendra, Jaya Bachchan, Shabana Azmi, Ranveer Singh and the boxoffice darling(s) Alia Bhatt. But trust me, this one is not about assembling stars into a complacent plot. The writing in this zany Romeo & Juliet is so crisp and engrossing, the experience is likely to be the visual version of a multi-flavour icrecream cone. Colour, choler and karma collide in this tragic-comic love story . Let the box office dhamaka begin from the house of Dharma.
