genre: fluff

pairing: jay x gn south asian!reader

word count: 610

warnings: none

A/N: in honor of all the holidays coming up (holi, vaisakhi, ramadan/eid, etc.), AND also my srk x jay post that sparked desi enha discourse, this one goes out to all my desi engenes!!!! 🫶🏼 happy holi!!!! happy vaisakhi a month in advance. and a ramadan mubarak to those who celebrate.

soft desi engene hours. could u just IMAGINE sitarist!jay and dholi!you!?!??? 🥺

jay is grateful to have a lover who hails from such a gorgeous, rich culture that spans millennia. and as any connoisseur of culture would say - music isn’t just part of culture….it is culture. he’s been playing guitar for many years now. and he wants to venture out into other stringed instruments. and what better way than learning the sitar?

jay enjoys the calming, soulful, and twangy sound of the sitar. it sends him into a trance and he feels completely immersed in a different world. despite it being “different” from what he’s done before, he believes that the language of music is universal - one felt within the heart first and foremost.

he holds a deep reverence for south asian music. be it nusrat fateh ali khan, kishore kumar, mohammed rafi, noor jehan, or asha bhosle, he feels the timeless, evergreen spirit of such compositions pulse within his soul.

watching him learn the sitar is an endearing sight. ethereal even! seeing the level of dedication he has towards mastering such an art form warms your heart. he wants to learn bhajans, shabads, and ghazals for you. all he wants in life is to express his love for you through music. just chillin’ in his kurtas with the sleeves rolled up and his sitar by his side, showing you the ravi shankar songs he’s learned so far.

on the other hand, he too admires you for your passion for percussion. jay loves your appreciation towards the different types of dhol. he fawns over the euphoric feeling you get when hitting every thappi and tiparu and the way you chant your DHAs and DHINs while doing so. jay also appreciates the way you treat your dagga and tilli sticks like they’re your babies. he loves the swingy sound of dhol beats and the swagger you exude while you play.

jay sometimes gets annoyed when you pester him with the sound of your loud ass dhol while he’s peacefully and calmly practicing his sitar. but he knows it’s out of love and good fun. it’s the desi equivalent of the percussionist kids in band disrupting the ones who play the wind and brass instruments. antics aside, jay appreciates the lively spirit and camaraderie that comes with these musical clashes, cherishing the shared moments of cultural exchange and musical banter.

in the end, these musical escapades become cherished memories, shaping jay’s musical journey with a touch of spontaneity and joy. the blend of dhol and sitar, once seemingly contrasting, transforms into a celebration of diversity within your shared love for music. as the two of you continue your artistic pursuits, jay realizes that the moments of lighthearted banter and cultural exchange have added a special rhythm to the soundtrack of your relationship - one of seismic adoration.

with each note played and every shared laugh echoing in the air, jay acknowledges that your artistic pursuits have not only strengthened your musical connection with each other, but have also deepened your bond with him. the rhythm of seismic adoration encompasses the highs and lows, much like the crescendos and decrescendos in your collaborative performances. through the language of music, your relationship thrives, creating a symphony of understanding, support, and shared passion that resonates far beyond the notes of your instruments.

Happy Birthday, #Helen (21/11).

Helen's foray into Bollywood began with a little help from a family friend, actress Cuckoo. Starting with group dance roles in movies like "Shabistan" (1951) and "Awaara" (1951), Helen quickly became a regular in the industry. Her talent shone through, earning her solo dance spots in films such as "Alif Laila" (1954) and "Hoor-e-Arab" (1955). Notably, she also appeared as a street singer in "Mayurpankh" (1954).

A significant breakthrough came in 1958 when Helen was just 19. Her performance in the song "Mera Naam Chin Chin Chu" from the film "Howrah Bridge" captured hearts. Sung by Geeta Dutt, this song marked the start of a series of successful projects for Helen. The 1960s and 1970s saw her rise to fame, with Geeta Dutt lending her voice for many of Helen's performances. During this period, Helen often portrayed characters who would perform a song or dance and then exit the plot, paving the way for the film's lead actress.

By 1969, Helen had become a household name, even gracing the cover of Filmfare Magazine. Another prominent singer, Asha Bhosle, frequently provided playback for Helen's performances, especially during the 1960s and early 1970s. Helen's versatility wasn't just limited to dance; she was nominated for the Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actress in 1965 for her role in "Gumnaam". Her dramatic roles in "China Town" and "Sachaai" (1969), alongside Shammi Kapoor, were box office hits. She also portrayed a compelling character in "Chhote Sarkar" (1974), co-starring Shammi Kapoor and Sadhana. Helen's hit dance numbers included 'Suku Suku' in "Junglee", 'Yamma Yamma' in "China Town", and several others.

Helen's fame wasn't confined to the Indian cinema; she performed on stages in London, Paris, and Hong Kong. In 1973, "Helen, Queen of the Nautch Girls", a 30-minute documentary by Merchant Ivory Films, highlighted her life and career. This was followed by Jerry Pinto's book "The Life and Times of an H-Bomb" in 2006, which won a National Film Award. Writer Salim Khan played a key role in Helen's career, casting her in several films he co-scripted. Her performance in "Lahu Ke Do Rang" (1979) earned her the Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actress. In recognition of her contributions, Helen received the Filmfare Lifetime Achievement Award in 1999.

Though she officially retired in 1983, Helen made occasional appearances in films like "Khamoshi: The Musical" (1996) and "Mohabbatein" (2000). She also appeared alongside her real-life step-son #SalmanKhan in "Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam" and in "Humko Deewana Kar Gaye" (2006). Her contributions were further acknowledged when she was selected for the Padma Shri in 2009, alongside Aishwarya Rai and Akshay Kumar. Helen also served as a judge in the semifinals and finals of India's 2009 "Dancing Queen" television series.

Mohammed Rafi and the Magic of Romantic Melodies

When we think of Bollywood’s golden era, a few names stand out as legends who shaped its identity. Among them, Mohammed Rafi holds a special place as a singer whose voice transcended generations. Born on December 24, 1924, in Kotla Sultan Singh near Amritsar, Rafi’s journey from a small village to becoming the most celebrated playback singer in Indian cinema is nothing short of extraordinary. His melodious voice, incredible versatility, and dedication to his craft made him an icon whose songs continue to touch millions of hearts worldwide.

This article explores how Rafi defined an era of Indian music, his contributions to Bollywood, and the lasting legacy of his unmatched talent.

A Humble Beginning

Mohammed Rafi’s life began in a modest household in Punjab, where his love for music was evident from a young age. Legend has it that Rafi was inspired by a wandering fakir who sang soulful tunes in his village. This early exposure to music planted the seeds of a passion that would later blossom into a legendary career.

Rafi’s family recognized his potential and supported his ambitions, leading him to train under esteemed musicians like Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan and Firoze Nizami. His rigorous training in classical music became the foundation of his versatile singing style, which allowed him to perform effortlessly across various genres. Despite his growing talent, Rafi remained humble, a trait that endeared him to colleagues and fans alike.

Rise to Stardom in Bollywood

Rafi’s Bollywood journey began in 1944 when he sang for the Punjabi film Gul Baloch. However, his big break came in 1946 with the song “Tera Khilona Toota Balak” in Anmol Ghadi, composed by Naushad Ali. This marked the beginning of a partnership that would produce some of the most iconic songs in Indian cinema.

Rafi’s golden era coincided with Bollywood’s rise during the 1950s and 60s. Collaborating with renowned composers such as Shankar-Jaikishan, S.D. Burman, and O.P. Nayyar, Rafi lent his voice to leading actors like Dilip Kumar, Dev Anand, and Shammi Kapoor. His ability to adapt his singing style to suit the personality of the actor on screen was unparalleled, earning him the reputation of being Bollywood’s most versatile playback singer.

A Voice for Every Mood

One of Rafi’s greatest strengths was his ability to convey a spectrum of emotions. Whether it was the romantic charm in “Chaudhvin Ka Chand Ho,” the spiritual depth in “Man Tarpat Hari Darshan Ko Aaj,” or the playful mischief in “Sar Jo Tera Chakraye,” Rafi’s voice captured the essence of every mood.

He was equally adept at soulful ghazals, energetic dance numbers, and heart-wrenching ballads. Songs like “Kya Hua Tera Wada” and “Dil Deke Dekho” highlight his ability to evoke deep emotion, while tracks like “Yahoo! Chahe Koi Mujhe Junglee Kahe” demonstrate his knack for high-energy performances. This versatility set him apart from his contemporaries and ensured that his voice became the heartbeat of Bollywood music.

Timeless Collaborations

Rafi’s collaborations with composers and lyricists played a crucial role in shaping Bollywood’s musical landscape. His long association with Naushad resulted in evergreen classics like “O Duniya Ke Rakhwale” and “Madhuban Mein Radhika Nache Re.” His work with Shankar-Jaikishan gave us gems like “Baharon Phool Barsao.”

Notably, Rafi’s duets with female playback singers like Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhosle are considered some of the finest in Indian music history. Whether it was the romantic “Aaja Sanam” with Lata or the lively “Aankhon Hi Aankhon Mein” with Asha, Rafi’s voice complemented his co-singers perfectly, creating magical musical moments.

Challenges and Triumphs

Like any artist, Rafi faced challenges throughout his career. The rise of Kishore Kumar during the 1970s led to increased competition, yet Rafi’s resilience and dedication never wavered. He continued to deliver hits, such as “Pardah Hai Pardah” from Amar Akbar Anthony and “Main Zindagi Ka Saath” from Hum Dono. His humility and professional ethics won him admiration from peers and music directors alike.

Despite his immense success, Rafi remained grounded, always prioritizing his craft over personal gain. It is said that he would often refuse payment for songs if the producer faced financial difficulties, highlighting his generous and selfless nature.

The Legacy of a Legend

Rafi’s untimely death in 1980 left a void in the Indian music industry that remains unfilled. Yet, his legacy lives on through the countless songs he recorded over his career. He received several awards, including the Padma Shri in 1967, in recognition of his contribution to Indian music.

Today, Rafi’s songs continue to resonate with audiences of all ages. His music is a bridge between generations, played at family gatherings, weddings, and cultural events. Even decades after his passing, Rafi’s voice has an unmatched ability to evoke emotions and connect people through the universal language of music.

Conclusion

Mohammed Rafi voice is not just a part of Bollywood’s history; it is a symbol of its golden era. His ability to embody the essence of every song, combined with his humility and dedication, made him a legend whose influence extends far beyond the boundaries of cinema. As we listen to his timeless tracks today, we are reminded of a time when music was pure, heartfelt, and unforgettable.

"The Magic of Music in Desi Cinema: How Songs Define the Soul of Indian Films"

Introduction: No other film industry in the world celebrates music as much as Desi Cinema. Whether it's the grand, orchestrated musical numbers of Bollywood or the soulful ballads in regional films, music is the heartbeat of Indian cinema. In this post, we'll take a deep dive into how music has shaped and defined desicinema, from its early beginnings to modern-day hits.

The Role of Music in the Golden Age:

The 1950s and 1960s were a defining period for Indian film music. Music directors like S.D. Burman, Shankar Jaikishan, and Naushad composed melodies that became immortal. Songs from films like Mughal-e-Azam (1960), Awaara (1951), and Pyaasa (1957) didn’t just complement the narrative but enhanced the emotional depth of the story.

The early Bollywood musicals were often built around the songs themselves. Bollywood songs became a language in their own right, often conveying emotions too complex to be expressed through dialogue. Lata Mangeshkar and Kishore Kumar, the voices of the era, gave life to these songs, making them iconic.

The '70s and '80s: The Rise of Disco & Playback Singing:

The 1970s and 1980s saw an interesting shift in Bollywood’s musical landscape. Disco music entered the scene with tracks like I’m Your Baby Tonight from The Burning Train (1980) and Disco Dancer (1982), marking a more international sound. Meanwhile, playback singers like Kishore Kumar, Mohammad Rafi, and Asha Bhosle dominated the scene, creating songs that were as iconic as the films themselves.

In the 1980s, films like Sholay (1975), Amar Akbar Anthony (1977), and Qurbani (1980) brought forward energetic numbers that resonated with the masses, giving Bollywood a new sound. But it wasn’t just the music; the choreography, the costumes, and the setting also came to define the genre. The popularity of the "item number" emerged around this time, a tradition that continues to define Bollywood today.

The '90s: The Era of Romance and Soundtracks:

The 1990s were marked by an explosion of musical blockbusters. The classic pairing of melodious love songs with visual grandeur became a hallmark of Bollywood during this period. Composers like Jatin-Lalit, Nadeem-Shravan, and A.R. Rahman introduced a range of sounds, from the soulful romantic ballads of Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995) to the more contemporary pop-infused melodies of Dil Se (1998).

A.R. Rahman, in particular, revolutionized the industry with his fusion of Western and Indian music, creating scores that broke conventional barriers. His iconic work in Roja (1992) and Taal (1999) not only changed the music industry but also brought a new era of musical experimentation in Indian films.

Modern Day: The Fusion of Genres and Global Influence:

Today, Desi Cinema is characterized by a mix of traditional music with international styles. Composers like Pritam, Amit Trivedi, and A.R. Rahman continue to dominate the soundscape, but the influence of global genres like hip-hop, rap, electronic dance music (EDM), and even reggaeton can be felt in contemporary tracks. Bollywood soundtracks now embrace a wider range of genres, reflecting the evolving tastes of global audiences.

The rise of digital music platforms like Spotify and YouTube has made desicinemas film music more accessible than ever before, allowing audiences to discover and enjoy songs from all over India. In the past decade, regional cinema has seen a rise in musical experimentation as well, with composers like Ilaiyaraaja (Tamil).

Conclusion:

Music is the lifeblood of Desi Cinema. It’s what makes us laugh, cry, and dream alongside our favorite characters. From the majestic orchestral compositions of the 50s to the pulsating beats of today, the role of music in Indian cinema cannot be overstated. In Desi films, music is not just a background element—it’s an essential part of the narrative, blending seamlessly with the story to create an experience that is distinctly Indian, yet universally relatable. Whether you're humming a tune from a Bollywood blockbuster or tapping your feet to a Tamil chartbuster, music continues to be the soul of Indian cinema.

Asha Bhosle Unveils 'VOICE OF THE NATION,' a Book About Lata Mangeshkar's Life

In a grand event at her Mumbai residence, the renowned singer Asha Bhosle launched the book "Voice of the Nation," which narrates the life of Lata Mangeshkar. The book is an English translation of the Assamese book "Asomi Ailoi Pranam," authored by Devajit Bhuyan. Having been an instant hit with several editions, senior journalist Achyut Kumar Patowary translated the book into English, and its publication was made possible with the assistance of Dhiraj Goswami from Assam Book Hive, a leading publishing house in Guwahati. Assam Book Hive had also published the original Assamese version.

Asha Bhosle, accompanied by Lata Mangeshkar's sister Usha Mangeshkar, spoke highly of the book, commending its special effort in portraying the story of the "tune empress." Asha Bhosle fondly recalled the strong connection between Dr. Bhupen Hazarika and Lata Mangeshkar, expressing her desire to visit Assam and applauding the book for maintaining the connection between Mangeshkar's family and Assam.

Discussing Lata Mangeshkar's impact on Indian music, Asha Bhosle called her "incomparable." She expressed concern about current music trends and appreciated the book for preserving Lata Didi's timeless songs.

Despite being 90 years old, Asha Bhosle remains active in her work, crediting the lessons she learned from Lata Didi. She aims to stay relevant and move with the times, valuing the wisdom from her older sister. Usha Mangeshkar, present at Lata Mangeshkar's home in Prabhukunj, described the book as a witness to history, filled with many untold stories and pictures from Lata Didi's life. She found it fascinating and wished her sister could see the book. Usha Mangeshkar recognized Lata Mangeshkar's unique contribution to the Indian music industry, highlighting the lasting impact her sister has had.

Bollywood celebrities Suresh Wadekar and Rupkumar Rathore also praised "VOICE OF THE NATION," emphasizing the importance of such books in introducing Lata Mangeshkar's life and talents to younger generations. They expressed gratitude to the author, Devajit Bhuyan, for his exceptional work.

The English version of "VOICE OF THE NATION" is published by Assam Book Hive and will be available at the upcoming Guwahati Book Fair. This marks a significant moment in sharing Lata Mangeshkar's legacy with a wider audience.

Lata Mangeshkar was one of the most important musicians in modern (i.e. post-independence) India, and I'm saying this as a kind of non-fan (there rlly is no way to completely be a disliker of her music or disinterested in her work at all for a majority of Indians). She and her family were the most prominent musician family in Marathi and Hindi cinema up till a decade and a half ago. This woman near completely defined the sound of cinema for multiple generations of people throughout the Indian subcontinent and the *world*. She was in the Guinness Book of World records before being replaced by her sister Asha Bhosle, as the most recorded artist in history. She recorded like 50,000 songs in FOURTEEN different languages AND was an occasional music composer along with being the most celebrated female playback singer of her time. She and her sisters were singing playback for actresses decades younger than them up till her death. Here are a few of my favourite songs and music videos featuring her!
