Entertainer par excellence-
In the late 1960s, Rahul Dev Burman worked on the soundtrack of the film Padosan , in which Kishore Kumar sang the popular
songs "Mere Saamne Wali Khidki
Mein" and "Kehna Hai". It is said that the song- Meri pyaari bindu was done on the sets before the shooting.
Padosan was a
comedy film starring Kishore Kumar as a dramatist-musician, Mehmood as a Carnatic music and dance teacher, and Sunil Dutt as a simpleton
named Bhola. Kishore Kumar's character in the film was inspired by the
personality of Kishore's own uncle; Dhananjay Banerjee (a classical singer).The
highlight of the film was a musical, comical duel between Kishore Kumar-Sunil
Dutt and Mehmood, Ek Chatur
Nar Karke Singaar- which could arguably be one of the best rap songs of Hindi films.
Kishore Kumar & Mehmood had an enduring friendship & did
many films together including-Pyaar Kiye
Jaa, Sadhu Aur Shaitan, Bombay to Goa etc. He gave playback to Mehmood in
many films as well.
Yet another turning point-
In 1969, Shakti Samanta produced and directed the film Aradhana, for which the
music was composed by S. D. Burman. S. D. Burman fell ill after recording some
duet songs with Mohammed Rafi, Asha Bhosle, Lata
Mangeshkar and Kishore Kumar. Afterwards, his son and assistant R. D. Burman took over the recording. R. D. Burman got Kishore
Kumar to solo sing the songs "Mere
Sapno Ki Rani" and "Roop
Tera Mastana", which became smash hits. Kishore Kumar won his first Filmfare award for the song
"Roop Tera Mastana". Aradhana was also the turning point of Superstar actor Rajesh Khanna.
It is said that
before Aradhana, he was paid Rs. 500/- for each song & in the late 70's
when he was at top position, he was paid Rs 30,000/-.
After this, he never looked back & his career as playback
singer flourished till the end.
Down Melody Lane-
Kishore Kumar's
ability to modulate his voice to suit the personality of his hero, and the
ethos of the situation, was what made him a star. He was as much the voice of
the dapper Dev, the adorable Rajesh as well as the aggressive angry young man
Amitabh Bachchan.
He was the quintessential voice of Dev Anand- right from Marne ki Duaye.
Dev Anand received playback from Hemant Kumar, Talat Mehmood &
Mohammad Rafi, but with Kishore, the magic was different!
