If you are a RD fan then you have to get hold of the 59 th National Award winning book R.D. Come to think of it this film had another Khamaj based composition Jiya Na Lage Mora. He gave us another gem Aayo Kahan Se Ghanshyam also based on Khamaj. That may well have been the year of Raga Khamaj for RD.
#CHURA LIYA HAI TUMNE RAAGTUNE MOVIE#
But even then can you think of another movie which has three songs based on the same raga in one movie? Let me hasten to add that in Kuchh Toh Log, the notes of Khamaj merge into Raga Kalavati. In Amar Prem he used the raga for two more songs Bada Natkhat Hai Re and then again in Kuchh Toh Log Kahenge. RD was greatly influenced by Raga Khamaj.
The song was crafted with the mood of the story and not on the time of the day. The song is a mix of two ragas – a morning raga Todi in the mukhra and raga Khamaj, a late night raga. He had heard his father sing a song Bela Boye Jaye which stayed in his mind during the composition of Raina Beeti Jaye for the movie Amar Prem. Pancham used to merge two ragas effortlessly. From the whir of a studio fan, to the thud of someone patting a thick book, he drew his melody from everyday objects and sounds and put them into his music. He introduced mixed rhythms and sound mixing. So Pancham had to create something that sounded unique. Remember SD had given us the hit music of Sharmilee in 1971. His competition really was Madan Mohan and more importantly, his own father. OP Nayyar was not the same hit factory any more. In the seventies, Naushad and C Ramchandra were fading. The sixties had seen Laxmikant-Pyarelal and Kalyanji-Anandji emerge. The extra musician had to be paid off and relieved before SD got down to the recording.Įvery decade throws up a new sound. It is said that Pancham had asked for 12 musicians during the recording of Safal Hogi Teri Aradhana while SD had mandated 11. SD’s minimalism and RD’s exuberance when mixed together created magic. While the father was a minimalist, Pancham built his brand by crafting his music based on blues, bossa nova, folk, jazz and Indian classical. You need to have a style of your own.” RD certainly took this advice to heart. This was when SD’s gave some sage advice and told his son, “Whatever you compose sounds like a Madan Mohan or Roshan melody. When a composition was good, critics often passed it off as SD’s craft. Right? Happy birthday Pancham.īeing the son of SD Burman was the biggest barrier that RD had to overcome for a long time. You would have turned 75 on 27th June 2014.
