‘Guns and Gulaabs’: nostalgia and opium meet to create a heady show

I wonder what nostalgia will mean for Generation Alpha. Will it be a fond chuckle of how their favorite movie or TV show buffered while streaming a critical scene? Or how some rando photobombed their lit party pics? Are these even things that they’ll do or care about? Or will nostalgia be another folder in the cloud, accessible via a monthly plan, no longer a sepia-tinged sigh of wistfulness? How…

Hey, you wanna hear about an album? Too bad! So today was Shalimar by Rahul Dev Burman and several others that I can't get Spotify to tell me. So this is the soundtrack to a Bollywood movie. It's pretty cool. I have absolutely zero idea what to say about this except that I enjoyed it. Might try and watch the movie if I can find it. Probably like a 3.5 where I'm inclined go with the higher side. 4/5!

Birthday greetings to the living music legend of the Hindi film industry, Sri #Pyarelal Ramprasad Sharma (03/09).

The iconic music director duo #LaxmikantPyarelal is synonymous with Hindi film music, particularly its popular hits. Born on September 3, 1940, Pyarelal Ramprasad Sharma is the son of the renowned trumpeter, Pandit Ramprasad Sharma, also known as Babaji. Under his father's guidance, Pyarelal started learning the violin at just 8 years old, dedicating 8 to 12 hours daily to practice. He further refined his violin skills under Goan musician Anthony Gonsalves. The song "My Name Is Anthony Gonsalves" from the film Amar Akbar Anthony is a tribute to Gonsalves, featuring music by the Laxmikant–Pyarelal duo.

At 12, Pyarelal began playing the violin in various studios, including Ranjit Studios, to support his family financially. His brother, Gorakh Sharma, also contributed by playing guitar for songs composed by Laxmikant-Pyarelal.

The duo first gained widespread recognition with their music for the 1964 film Dosti, produced by Rajshri Productions. Despite relatively unknown lead actors, the film's memorable songs like "Chahoonga Main Tujhe Shaam Savere" and "Rahi Manwa" made it a hit. Many initially thought Laxmikant–Pyarelal was a single person. They won their first Filmfare Award for Best Music Director for Dosti, beating industry giants like Shankar–Jaikishan and Madan Mohan. Their subsequent work in films like Lootera, which featured famous Lata Mangeshkar songs, also gained fame.

By 1966, Laxmikant–Pyarelal had firmly established themselves in Bollywood. They continued to earn acclaim for their music in films like Aaye Din Bahar Ke and Pyar Kiye Jaa. In 1967, they had a series of hits, including the Golden Jubilee musical hit Farz, and other big-star films like Anita and Shagird. They won their second Filmfare Award for the film Milan.

Laxmikant–Pyarelal, along with contemporaries like Rahul Dev Burman and Kalyanji-Anandji, represented a new era in Bollywood music, overshadowing earlier composers. They were frequently chosen by major film producers and consistently delivered exceptional music.

Their significant collaboration with lyricist Anand Bakshi led to some of Bollywood’s most iconic songs, appearing in over 250 films. Anand Bakshi wrote the lyrics for all the films that earned Laxmikant–Pyarelal Filmfare Awards, except for their first. #RajeshKhanna also had a long-standing professional relationship with the duo, choosing them as the music directors for 26 of his films.

Another fruitful partnership was with singer Asha Bhonsle, who voiced numerous hits composed by Laxmikant–Pyarelal, including chart-toppers like "Dhal Gaya Din" and "Hungama Ho Gaya." The latter song was re-recorded for the 2014 film Queen and became a massive hit again. Between 1980 and 1986, Asha Bhonsle was often the lead vocalist for their compositions. Laxmikant–Pyarelal also scored music for the Telugu film Majnu in 1987, which was well-received for its musical numbers.

Top Timeless RD Burman Hits Every Bollywood Fan Should Know

Rahul Dev Burman, affectionately known as Pancham Da, is a name that resonates with music lovers worldwide. In the golden era of Bollywood, RD Burman emerged as a trailblazer, infusing traditional Indian melodies with Western influences and creating a unique, unforgettable sound. His ability to blend various genres, experiment with instruments, and capture emotions through music made him one of the most celebrated music directors in Indian cinema. In this article, we dive into how RD Burman redefined Bollywood music and why his influence is still felt in the industry today.

The Early Years: Shaping an Icon

RD Burman was born into a musical family; his father, SD Burman, was one of Bollywood’s most respected music composers. However, RD Burman was not content to simply follow in his father’s footsteps. He sought to carve out his own niche, drawing inspiration from a range of musical influences beyond the borders of India. Growing up, he was exposed to jazz, rock ’n’ roll, and Latin music, which left a profound impact on his style.

Pancham Da’s curiosity and openness to different sounds were apparent from the very beginning of his career. His training and immersion in diverse musical styles allowed him to become a bridge between Eastern and Western music traditions, setting the stage for a revolutionary career in Bollywood.

Innovation in Sound: Fusing Genres

RD Burman’s musical genius lay in his ability to experiment and take risks. He understood that Bollywood music was ripe for innovation and daring compositions, and he used his talents to bring fresh, unconventional sounds to the industry. Unlike many composers of his time, Burman wasn’t afraid to mix genres, blending Western jazz, rock, and disco with traditional Indian ragas and folk music.

This fusion was exemplified in songs like “Mehbooba Mehbooba” from the movie Sholay, where he incorporated Middle Eastern rhythms with Indian elements. The result was an electrifying melody that became an instant classic. Similarly, in the song “Dum Maro Dum” from Hare Rama Hare Krishna, Burman introduced psychedelic rock elements to Hindi film music. These daring choices not only set him apart from his contemporaries but also changed Bollywood music forever, making it more globally relevant and appealing.

Instrumentation and Rhythm: Creating Unconventional Sounds

Burman’s innovative use of instruments added a unique flavor to his compositions. He frequently used instruments that were uncommon in Indian music, like the harmonica, synthesizer, and electric guitar. One of his hallmark creations, “Chura Liya Hai Tumne Jo Dil Ko” from Yaadon Ki Baaraat, used a clinking glass and a guitar as its opening sound — a decision that was radical for Bollywood music at the time.

In another example, for the song “O Haseena Zulfonwali” from Teesri Manzil, Burman combined rock drums, brass sections, and traditional Indian tabla rhythms, creating a sound that was both modern and rooted in Indian tradition. His understanding of rhythm and tempo was so profound that he could seamlessly switch between fast-paced numbers and soft, soulful ballads. This versatility allowed him to craft songs that appealed to a wide range of emotions and audiences.

Emotional Depth and Storytelling in Music

RD Burman’s music wasn’t just about catchy beats and innovative instrumentation; it was also deeply emotional and narrative-driven. He understood the importance of aligning the music with the storyline and characters of each film. His ability to bring out the emotional nuances in his compositions made his songs timeless.

In “Tujhse Naraz Nahin Zindagi” from Masoom, Burman crafted a haunting melody that perfectly conveyed the emotional struggle and innocence of the characters. This song, with its minimal instrumentation and soulful composition, remains a heart-wrenching classic that resonates with listeners across generations. Burman’s skill in conveying mood and story through music allowed his compositions to stand as standalone works of art, even beyond the films they were originally written for.

The Legacy of RD Burman: A Lasting Influence

Although RD Burman faced periods of professional struggle, particularly during the late 1980s when the Bollywood music scene shifted, his music saw a resurgence in popularity after his passing. Today, his songs are celebrated by listeners of all ages, and his compositions are frequently remixed and reimagined for new generations. His timeless music serves as a source of inspiration for contemporary composers who seek to bring innovation to Bollywood.

RD Burman’s influence can be heard in the works of many modern composers, who continue to adopt his techniques, such as genre fusion and creative instrumentation, to bring something new to the industry. His legacy is a testament to the power of creative risk-taking and the enduring appeal of music that speaks to the heart and soul.

Conclusion

RD Burman was more than a music composer; he was a visionary whose creative genius broke barriers and set new standards for Bollywood music. By daring to be different and blending Western and Indian sounds, he opened doors for future composers and introduced Indian audiences to a whole new world of music. His compositions have not only withstood the test of time but continue to captivate listeners with their richness, emotional depth, and innovation.

If you haven’t yet experienced the magic of RD Burman’s music, now is the perfect time to dive in. Rediscover his timeless hits on your favorite streaming platforms, and let the melodies of Pancham Da transport you to an era of Bollywood where music knew no bounds.

44 Years of Aandhi (13/02/1975)

Aandhi is a political drama film starring Sanjeev Kumar and Suchitra Sen, and directed by Gulzar. At the time it was alleged that the film was based on the life of the then-Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and her relationship with her estranged husband, but in reality, only the look was inspired by the politician Tarkeshwari Sinha and Indira Gandhi.

The story is based on a chance meeting of an estranged couple after several years, when wife Aarti Devi, now a leading politician happens to stay in the hotel run by her husband during an election campaign. The movie is noted for its songs composed by Rahul Dev Burman, written by Gulzar and sung by Kishore Kumar and Lata Mangeshkar.

Suchitra Sen, the noted actress from Bengali cinema, who also worked in a few Hindi films, played the lead role of Aarti Devi after actress Vyjayanthimala refused the film as she had reservations about enacting the role.

The movie was not allowed a full release when Mrs. Gandhi was in power. The film was banned during the national emergency of 1975 a few months after its release. The ban immediately made the film a national topic. After her defeat in the 1977 national elections, the ruling Janata Party cleared it and had it premiered on the state-run television channel. It proved to be an important film in the career of Sen, and also her last Hindi film, as she retired from films altogether in 1978.

At the 23rd Filmfare Awards, she was nominated for Filmfare Best Actress Award, while Sanjeev Kumar won the Filmfare Award for Best Actor. The film itself won the Filmfare Critics Award for Best Movie.
