I had written my first submit on Kalyanji-Anandji about ten years in the past on their finest songs for Mukesh and had titled it “Made for one another”. I used that phrase studiedly as a result of that was my instinctive feeling. Nudging by a reader made me discover their extra songs – for Rafi, Different male singers, and Lata Mangeshkar and different feminine singers within the present yr. I now uncover that he composed greater than twice the songs for Rafi as he did for Mukesh. However I nonetheless maintain on to “Made for one another” tag for KA-Mukesh. All this dialogue was restricted to the 50s and 60s.
I had saved the SOY’s mandate to the Hindi movie songs from the 30s by way of the 60s. I didn’t need to dilute that character. (In my theme-based posts nonetheless, wherever I thought of mandatory I’ve used songs from the 70s and later. I don’t take it as a contradiction.) Nonetheless, Kalyanji-Anandji’s transformation to 2.0 was distinctive and really distinct from that of the opposite stalwarts from the Golden Period. The superstars like Naushad, OP Nayar, Shankar-Jaikishan and C Ramchandra pale away although they may have plodded on for some years past the 60s. They couldn’t navigate the uneven waters. Solely SD Burman and Khayyam show to be an exception. KA 2.0 reincarnated themselves with a special fashion of music and catapulted themselves among the many Massive Three – the opposite two being RD Burman and Laxmikant-Pyarelal who had debuted in 1961 and 1963 respectively. Their trajectory was completely different. RDB was extra a post-70s phenomenon. LP have been instantly among the many tops since their debut and continued with their related melody and orchestration, and gradual tweaking to stay on the prime.
KA 2.0 have been a special ball sport. Their transformation paralleled Kishore Kumar 2.0 reincarnation post-Aradhana. I’ve written it in several phrases earlier. “Kalyanji-Anandji 2.0 and Kishore Kumar: Made for one another” sums up this double transformation and their nice tango. I’m additionally together with Kishore Kumar’s duet with feminine singers on this submit.
1. Hey re Kanhaiya kisko kahega tu maiya by Kishore Kumar from Chhoti Bahu (1971), lyrics Indivar, music Kalyanji-Anandji
This can be a lovely track on Krishna mythology. One mom gave beginning to him and one other reared him up. Who would he name Maiya (affectionate manner of calling the mom). Everyone knows the reply, the lyricist, composer and the singer have created a fantastic track. Indivar’s lyrics are fantastic. Have a look at the traces – Janam diya ho chaahe pala ho kisi ne bhed ye mamta na jaane/ Koi bhi ho jisne diya ho pyar ma ka man to usi ko ma maane.

3. Jo tum hansoge to duniya hansegi rooge to na royegi duniya by Kishore Kumar from Kathputli (1971), lyrics Varma Malik, music Kalyanji-Anandji
This track paraphrases Rahim’s couplet Rahiman nij man ki vyatha man hello raakho goye, encapsulating a basic philosophy of life. You could share your happiness with others, however don’t share your sorrows. Nobody would share it, fairly the could make enjoyable of it.
4. Chupke se dil de de nahin te shor a lot jayega by Kishore Kumar and Lata Mangeshkar from Maryada (1971), lyrics Anand Bakhshi, music Kalyanji-Anandji
I keep in mind I slept by way of this movie, but it surely had some nice songs. Amongst a number of fashionable songs of the movie have been a Kishore Kumar solo Gussa itna haseen hai to pyar kaisa hoga, a Rafi-Lata Mangeshkar duet Tu bhi aa ja ki ke aa gayi jawani, and a Mukesh solo, Juban pe dard bhari dastan chali aayi.
5. Hamaare siwa tumhare aur kitne deewane hain by Kishore Kumar from Lata Mangeshkar from Apradh (1972), lyrics Indivar, music Kalyanji-Anandji
Now KA 2.0 and KK 2.0 have been discovering a pure match with one another.
6. Nainon mein (?) nindiya hai, maathe pe (?) bindiya hai by Kishore Kumar and Lata Mangeshkar from Joru Ka Ghulam (1972), lyrics Anand Bakhshi, music Kalyanji-Anandji
This question-answer in staccato phrases have been tried with success earlier by completely different composers. Since nain, matha (and baal, and aankh) are already occupied by completely different objects, the person is perplexed and asks the lady herself the place he would reside.
7. Tu na mili to hum jogi ban jayenge by Kishore Kumar from Victoria Quantity 203 (1972), lyrics Indivar, music Kalyanji-Anandji
We’ve seen in Jogi, Bhogi or Dhongi that usually jogis are pure charlatans. Or extra seemingly, heroes in disguise expressing their love in a comic book method.
8. Pal pal dil ke paas tum rahti ho by Kishore Kumar from Blackmail (1973), lyrics Rajendra Krishna, music Kalyanji-Anandji
One other superhit Kishore Kumar solo within the movie was Sharbati teri aankhon ki jheel si gehrai mein. Pal pal dil ke paas tum rahti ho appeals to many severe music lovers.
9. Agar dil hamara sheesha ke badle patthar ka hota by Kishore Kumar from Ek Kunwari Ek Kunwara (1973), lyrics Prakash Mehta, music Kalyanji-Anandji
Rakesh Roshan is bitter with the lady for her betrayal, and begins with a sarcastic recital – Dil todnewalon ki mehfil mein aa gaya hun/ Kaise duaayein dun, foremost badi mushqil mein aa gaya hun. Then he begins singing: Had this coronary heart been fabricated from stone, it might not have damaged.
10. Rafta rafta dekho aankh meri ladi hai by Kishore Kumar and Usha Timothy from Kahani Kismat Ki (1973), lyrics Rajendra Krishna, music Kalyanji-Anandji
A superhit track of its time with applicable light-hearted lyrics and dance. We don’t get to listen to Usha Timothy typically. KA had used her earlier in Himalay Ki Gode Mein (1965) within the track Haye soniye, heeriye..Tu raat khadi thi chhat pe.
11. Peenewalon ko peene ka bahana chahiye by Kishore Kumar and Hema Malini from Haath Ki Safai (1974), lyrics Gulshan Bawra, music Kalyanji-Anndji
Kishore Kumar does an ideal job to sing for a drunk particular person. Hema Malini is an ideal foil.
12. Hum bolega to bologe ki bolta hai by Kishore Kumar from Kasauti (1974), lyrics Verma Malik, music Kalyanji-Anandji
Pran acts a comic book Gorkha. Kalyanji-Anandji create an ideal track for the state of affairs rendered equally properly by Kishore Kumar.
13. Mera jeevan kora kagaz kora hello rah gaya by Kishore Kumar from Kora Kagaz (1974), lyrics MG Hashmat, music Klayanji-Anandji
Composing such poignant songs within the voice of now Kishore Kumar was a routine factor for Kalyanji-Anandji.
14. Khai ke paan Banaraswala by Kishore Kumar from Don (1978), lyrics Anjaan, music Kalyanji-Anandji
Don was a landmark movie within the profession of the Massive B. When you get a challenge like this you need to have the expertise for composing nice songs, every befitting the state of affairs. Amitabh Bachchan was now a grocery store for the whole lot – comedian, romantic, indignant younger man and his voice was typically Kishore Kumar. The movie additionally had Kishore Kumar’s Ei hai Bambai nagariya tu dekh babua and the title track Arey deewanon, mujhe pahchaano, (and to not overlook Asha Bhosle’s Ye mera dil pyar ka deewana). Nothing illustrates Kalyanji-Anandji’s full transformation higher than Don.
15. Salaam-e-ishq meri jaan qabool kar lo by Lata Mangeshkar and Kishore Kumar from Muqaddar Ka Sikandar (1978), lyrics Prakash Mehra, music Kalyanji-Anandji
In duets I’ve began the apply of mentioning the singer who comes first. This track impacts us extra as a Lata Mangeshkar solo. A musical blockbuster. One other track from the film Rote huye aate hain sab is posted subsequent. There are not less than two extra superhit songs: A Kishore Kumar/ Asha Bhosle twin model track O saathi re tere bina bhi kya jeena, Lata Mangeshkar’s Dil to hai dil, dil ka aitbaar kya keeje, and a Mahendra Kapoor-Lata Mangeshkar-Asha Bhosle triplet track Pyar zindagi hai.
16. Rote huye aate hain sab hansta hua jayega by Kishore Kumar from Muqaddar Ka Sikandar (1978), lyrics Anjaan, music Kalyanji-Anandji
I conclude this submit with one other superhit track from the film. That is the completely satisfied model of the track. The unhappy model is in Rafi’s voice.
