![]() ![]() Gravitas as the requisite voice for crisis and climate emergency? Types of singing as indicative of modes of climate change discourseĭistinctions of "voice" in the art of climate change rhetoric? Here is this song.Climate change discourse according to classification of singing voice types? This song had so much background information behind it ? Phew ! Even I was not aware. ![]() Also, the “Laila Majnu” songs, which are credited to Madan Mohan, were composed by Jaidev, as Madan Mohan had died before composing the songs of this movie. For instance, Jaidev was the assistant of S D Burman, and many S D Burman songs were composed by him. But his music was heard in many more movies, even though he did not get the credit. The reason was, he was unable to sell himself as a music director. I, like many fans, wonder why Jaidev got so few movies as a music director, despite impeccable credentials. And as I have repeatedly mentioned, he was at the peak of his prowess those days. ![]() Gulzar, the writer of this awesome song, was of course the grandmaster of his art. The Bollywood producers were unnecessarily going overboard about her, just because she was a “phoren” singer. And I agreed with Lata’s feelings about the issue. Personally I found her voice similar to Asha Bhonsle. She put her foot down, and thus threw cold water on the enthusiasm of the Bollywood producers.Īdmittedly, Runa Laila sounded good, but that was because of novelty value. But that was only till Lata came to know the astronomical amounts that the movie makers were paying Runa Laila to sing her songs. She sought, and got the blessings of Lata Mangeshkar. Runa Laila was much feted and celebrated in Bollywood circles. Bollywood producers, who were so much “phoren” obsessed those days that even a Bangladeshi singer became a hot property for them. Runa Laila, on the other hand was a Bangladeshi singer. Bhupinder Singh was around in Hindi movie songs from 1960s, during whic time he sang a few songs as well as played guitar in several songs. The singers are Bhupinder and Runa Laila. Every Bollywood character, however poor he may be, lived in a palatial house with a big staircase connecting the ground floor with the first floor, and here we find an entire movie devoted to the housing problem of urban dwellers !? Now for those who were brought up on the diet of mainstream Bollywood movies, it would hardly appear a problem. The characters in this movie for example were shown struggling to find a home of their own. This movie was a small budget movie in which the characters actually looked real life with real life problems. ![]() Neither the movie, nor the song were mainstream ones by the standards of 1977, but this song and this movie struck the right chords in the hearts of the audience. Here is a fantastic song from “Gharonda”. ![]()
