She was also exposed to ‘natya sangeet’ or ‘drama-based music’ from a young age when she used to accompany her father and this helped her to develop expressions in her way of singing. Her training in classical music started under the guidance of her father-Pandit Dinanath Mangeshkar, a man renowned for his knowledge of classical music. She accepted all kinds of songs that came her way and that helped her develop her range and versatility. Right from the beginning, in order to carve a distinct niche for herself she moulded her vocals to conjure up a different persona not to be confused with her elder sister and this differentiator made her stand out for her uniqueness. Though Asha Bhosle was always versatile, she had to face a long struggle before she could get to sing for the lead heroine of the film. Asha’s uniquely melodious, exuberant, alluring and resonating vocals added that extra ‘X-factor’ to even the seemingly simple songs which ensured that no one else would be able to emulate her style or recreate her magic ever again.
Qawwalis, ghazals, devotional songs, classical songs, peppy romantic numbers, cabaret songs, dance numbers, folk music, mujra songs, sensuous numbers, sad songs, songs of yearning and separation, disco songs-she has excelled in them all with equal adroitness and alacrity. When it comes to versatility and range, there is no doubt that Asha Bhosle’s name would easily be above every other singer who has ever sung in Hindi cinema.
The film had five music directors and the pleasant romantic song chosen in this blog was written as well as composed by Tanishk Bagchi and sung by Jubin Nautyal and Asees Kaur. Siddharth Malhotra gives a heart-felt performance as Captain Batra. This biographical drama based on the life of late Captain Vikram Batra who lost his life in the Kargil war was the most touching film of 2021. Here is a list of my favourite songs of the year 2021 which were pleasant to hear and while watching the film, they blended well into the context of the story and were quite enjoyable! However, change is inevitable and one has to move with the changing times and changing tastes and look for enjoyment in what is being offered.
And with a plethora of new voices entering the industry every day there are just too many names to remember. There seems to be no bonding between the singers and actors. But today, it is only the repeated viewing on YouTube that makes us remember which song belongs to which film.Īnother change being observed is that many of the films have more than one lyricist and more than one music director and at times, separate musicians for background score and song compositions. There was a time when apart from the singer who put in the emotions, it was the actor who brought to life the songs on-screen which not only touched the viewer’s heart but also added to the recall value of the song. Lip-syncing by actors is definitely disappearing and today’s actors don’t seem capable of emoting to the words. In fact, many songs now are used more as a promo tactic than a necessity for the story and when the film is released, we see them being incorporated towards the end when the credits roll out. Irrespective of whether it is a romantic song, a sad song, an inspirational song or a philosophical one, a majority of them are just played in the background which makes it very difficult to remember them after a while. Even their picturization has undergone a sea-change from earlier times. With the result, songs which had been an integral part of our cinema seem to be losing their importance in our narrative. Many films which were directly released on these platforms tackled unconventional topics and all this did not leave much scope for any remarkable musical compositions. Once again, we were exposed to a variety of content on OTT platforms including anthology films and short films. 2021 was yet another year spent in lockdown with theatrical releases being very restricted.
