Join UsLut Gaye Hum Toh Raah Mein – Manzil Manzil
A lazy Sunny Deol riding on a donkey, wooing gorgeous Dimple Kapadia on beautiful landscapes of Kashmir from Nasir Hussain sahab’s Manzil Manzil. R. D. Burman never stuck to a particular singer for any actor. He always read the situation, the character and assigned singers accordingly. For Sunny Deol, R. D. has experimented with Suresh Wadkar, Shabbir Kumar, his own voice and Shailendra Sing, who has sung this song. Penned by Majruh Sultanpuri, the song has an amazing laidback feel especially with the excellent flute sounds. Asha ji enters the song in the end and gives a nice touch. One of the really less heard gems.
Socha Tha Maine Toh – Chandi Sona
Kishore da in some of his songs sounds so different and yet so endearing. R. D. in one of his interviews had said, ”You have to be happy in your mind to create. Even if it’s a sad song to be composed, you have to be happy in your mind.” May be that is why this number creates a feeling of hope in the end. Also, watch out for Sanjay Khan, one of the most handsome men of those times.
Ab Ke Sawan Mein Jee Kare – Jaise Ko Taisa
Super sizzling Reena Roy and jumping jack Jeetubhai ala Jeetendra in this foot tapping rain dance number. We especially like the interludes and the way R. D. has crafted the transition from the antara to the mukhda. Lata didi is amazing and sounds full of life. Incidentally, Jaise Ko Taisa had a more popular song in the title song itself.
