After I had coated the perfect songs of Kalyanji-Anandji for Mukesh and Rafi, I as soon as browsed by their songs for ‘different’ male singers for a lark. I used to be amazed to search out an infinite number of singers that they had chosen. Although all of the songs have been well-known it had not registered in my thoughts immediately. The consequence was a put up on Kalyanji-Anandji’s finest songs for ‘different’ male singers. That was, after all, KA1.0 (as much as 1970).
Now I’ve began exploring KA post-70s. Now their major singer was Kishore Kumar, naturally! From Chaand si mehbooba ho meri kab to Kahike paan Banaraswala was a tectonic shift of their fashion. KA 2.0 and Kishore Kumar have been made for one another. I had initially thought that in the identical put up I might cowl different male singers too. However It was a nice shock to note that they maintained the identical range of their selection of male singers. Solely the packing containers of the ‘Fundamental singer’ and ‘Different singers’ have been reshuffled. Now everybody else apart from Kishore Kumar was relegated to the ‘different’ class. However it’s attention-grabbing to check out these songs for the sake of range. Additionally they occur to be of excellent high quality. I would come with their duets too with feminine singers.
KA1.0 had composed some eternal songs for Lata Mangeshkar and different feminine singers. I can’t say the identical for KA2.0, although they’ve composed some good songs for Lata Mangeshkar and different feminine singers.
Mukesh
1. Zuban pe dard bhari dastan chali aayi by Mukesh from Maryada (1971), lyrics Anand Bakhshi, music Kalyanji-Anandji
KA 2.0 continued to create some glorious songs for Mukesh.
2. Tere hothon ke do phool pyare pyare by Mukesh and Lata Mangeshkar from Paras (1971), lyrics Indivar, music Kalyanji-Anandji
A pleasant romantic duet with a pleasant beat. The woman’s lips are like two stunning flowers, what does he want from a backyard now? For her, his eyes are like two brilliant begins, what does she care concerning the sky?

3. Do kadam tum bhi chalo do kadan hum bhi chalein by Lata Mangeshkar and Mukesh from Ek Haseena Do Deewaane (1972), lyrics Qafil Azar, music Kalyanji-Anandji
This tune has the distinctive characteristic that Sivanandam Palamdai identified in a dialogue. The primary line Lata Mangeshkar sings with none instrumental music or prelude at a sluggish tempo, thereafter KA’s signature orchestration begins.

4. Kya khoob lagti ho badi sundar dikhti ho by Mukesh and Kanchan from Dharmatma (1975), lyrics Indivar, music Kalyanji-Anandji
Dharmatma was the primary film shot in Afghanistan, in Godfather fashion. Nevertheless it couldn’t eliminate Bollywood totally. Here’s a good romantic duet.
5. Behna O behna teri doli major sajaunga by Mukesh from Adalat (1976), lyrics Gulshan Bawra, music Kalyanji-Anandji
KA 1.0 had composed a chartbuster in Kishore Kumar’s voice, Meri pyari bahaniya banegi dulhaniya. KA 2.0 too created a tune for a brother singing on his sister’s marriage – now within the voice of Mukesh. The brother Amitabh Bachchan’s happiness is palpable.
Rafi
6. Aao tumhein major pyar sikha dun by Rafi and Lata Mangeshkar from Upasana (1971), lyrics Indivar, music Kalyanji-Anandji
Rafi was a really prolific male singer for KA 1.0, however their songs got here down considerably. However even in that small quantity they managed to compose some good songs.
7. Fundamental tujhse milne aayi mandir jaane ke bahaane by Lata Mangeshkar and Rafi from Heera (1973), lyrics Indivar, music Kalyanji-Anandji
I now observe the apply of mentioning the singer who comes first in a duet. That makes an enormous distinction within the impression the tune creates on you – for instance, this tune looks like a Lata Mangeshkar solo.

8. Badi door se aaye hain pyar ka tohfa laayein hain by Rafi and Mukesh from Samjhauta (1973), lyrics Varma Malik, music KA
Rafi sings for Anil Dhawan, and Mukesh for Shatrughna Sinha. Mukesh’s half could be very temporary; therefore the tune impacts us as Rafi-solo.
9. Tumse door rahke humne jana pyar kya hai by Rafi and Lata Mangeshkar from Adalat (1976), lyrics Gulshan Bawra, music Kalyanji-Anadji
One other tune from a number of hits from this movie.
10. Saare shahar mein aapsa koi nahin by Rafi and Asha Bhosle from Bairaag (1976), lyrics Anand Bakhshi, music Kalyanji-Anandji
The decline of Naushad couldn’t be clearer. On this Dilip Kumar-helmed film Kalyanji-Anandji was the chosen music director.

Premnath
11. Dagar chalat dekho Shyam kar guiyan by Premnath from Raja Kaka (1973), lyrics Anjaan, music Kalyanji-Anandji
Premnath as a singer? It appears he was a educated classical singer. Right here he sings a superb mild classical tune.
Manna Dey
12. Yaari hai iman mera, yaar meri zindagi by Manna Dey from Zanjeer (1973), lyrics Gulshan Bawra, music Kalyanji-Anandji
This movie got here at a vital level in Amitabh Bachchan’s profession because it created the Offended Younger Man picture for him. Gulshan Bawra wrote among the finest songs for KA – each in 1.0 and a pair of.0. Pran performed an endearing pathan who began off with actions on the flawed aspect of the legislation. The preliminary encounters between the righteous cop and the crooked pathan don’t go properly. However impressed by the cop’s honesty and fearlessness he provides up all his unlawful actions. On this superhit tune with Arabic music, he needs to cheer up the intense cop, now his buddy. Because the tune is nearing the tip it brings a sliver of smile on his face.
Manhar Udhas
13. Hum tumhein chaahte hain aise by Anand Kumar and Manhar Udhas from Qurbani (1980), lyrics Indivar, music Kalyanji-Anandji
Qurbaniwas the smash hit of the 12 months due to Firoz Khan’s fashion. Many tales circulated concerning the film, akin to he smashed an actual Mercedez Benz within the film. This should be an actual waste, as a result of for many of us a prop or an actual factor doesn’t make a distinction. It had a groundbreaking Aap jaisa koi meri zindagi mein aaye, a pre-existing chartbuster by Nazia Hassan, which was composed by her brother Biddu, however KA’s personal compositions have been additionally superhits. A turning level in Manhar’s profession got here courtesy Kalyanji-Anandji along with his tune Aapse humko bichhade huye ek zaman beet gaya (Vishwas(1969), meant to be lastly sung by Mukesh. Hum tumhein chaahte hain aise is an equally excellent tune. Manhar can’t assist if his voice is so much like Mukesh.
Amit Kumar
14. Laila major Laila aisi hun Laila, har koi chaahe mujhse milna akela by Kanchan and Amit Kumar from Qurbani (1980), lyrics Farooq Kaiser, music Kalyanji-Anandji
KA 2.0 hit parade continues, now with Kishore Kumar’s son Amit Kumar and Kanchan. Throughout this era we frequently come throughout a feminine singer named Kanchan in KA’s music. She was the spouse of Babla, the youngest brother of Kalyanji-Anandji.
15. Oye, oye, tirchhi topiwale babu bholebhale by Amit Kumar and Sapna Mukherjee from Tridev (1989), lyrics Anand Bakhshi, music Kalyanji-Anandji
This tune is the perfect proof of KA’s full transformation and reinvention from the 50s, 60s fashion of music making to the late Eighties. The tune is funky, Naseeruddin Shah additionally adapts himself from middle-of-the-road severe cinema to an out and out industrial venture along with his lip-synching of Oye, oye in a bizarre costume.
Amitabh Bachchan
16. Mere angane mein tumhara kya kaam hai by Amitabh Bachchan from Laawaris (1981), lyrics Conventional, music KA
This tune maybe represents the Massive B’s first look as a correct singer and the tune grew to become a superhit. It additionally had a twin feminine model within the voice of Alka Yagnik picturised on Rakhi. There can’t be a greater vindication of my idea of Twin songs: A front-runner and a laggard, although the male model is sung by a non-singer, and the feminine model by the highest playback singer of the time.
Suresh Wadkar and Anwar
17. Haathon ki chand lakeeron ka by Suresh Wadkar and Anwar from Vidhata (1982), lyrics Anand Bakhshi, music Kalyanji-Anandji
By this time many high initiatives fell to the lot of KA. This landmark movie had two thespians, Dilip Kumar and Shammi Kapoor, enjoying the function of engine drivers and playfully arguing their factors of view about future and arduous work.
