It is one of Hindi films’ most cherished and eternal romantic songs, featuring the urbane Guru Dutt and the ethereal Waheeda Rehman, but the dream-like music for “Chaudhvin Ka Chand Ho” was scored by its composer within 10 minutes and its opening lyrics took even lesser time. Music director Ravi, to whom we owe this melody, revealed the tune came to him as he was returning home from work and it took him “just 5 to 7 minutes” to refine it.
Stopping there, he called up lyricist Shakeel Badayuni and recited “Chaudvin ka chand ho…”. In a minute, Shakeel responded with “Ya aftaab ho…” and after another couple of minutes, added “Jo bhi ho tum khuda ki kasam, laajawab ho”.
“Chaudvin ka Chand” (1960) proved to be a pace-setter for Ravi, who was born in Delhi on this day (March 3) in 1926, for it established his reputation, and he went on to score for many...

The film was also notably shouldered by two women actors, Jomol and Chanchal, who would go on to make an endearing impression in Malayali hearts for years to come. It hence served as no surprise that when a recent photo of Janakikutty (Jomol) and her beloved ghost friend Kunjathol (Chanchal) surfaced on social media, Malayalis let out a collective sigh, basking in nostalgia. “This was the only ghost I ever fell in love with,” a fan wrote under the picture,...

Even more so, considering her astonishing range and talent. If one were to draw a career chart of the 55-year-old actor, they would find that her progression is staggeringly consistent not only as a performer, but as someone who has casually reinvented herself at crucial junctures in her career. Bindu, however, rarely got the opportunities or scripts to flex her craft like her male contemporaries. Or let’s just say she probably couldn’t afford the work flexibility of male...

Legendary singer Hariharan, who has touched many lives with his craft in over 4 decades of his career, has released a new ghazal titled ‘Bewafaa’ in collaboration with Kumar Atul, who has penned and composed the track. The track also features vocals by the US based singer Shubha Chaki.
‘Bewafaa’ is a cross-country collaboration that depicts the emotions of a heartbroken person in love. The idea of this ghazal and collaboration with Hariharan first came to Kumar Atul, who wanted to make an original piece with live recorded instruments. It has been composed in Raag ‘Todi’.
Talking about the ghazal and the association, Hariharan said, “When Atul approached me for the song, I immediately loved the song and was moved by the lyrics of the ghazal. I thoroughly enjoyed working on this ghazal ‘Bewafa’. The song has a vulnerability in its lyrics and it gave a visual movement to the song.

Musician-composer Leslee Lewis is excited to have a live concert with a new set of songs on his experimental genre, Global Hindi, at the Kala Ghoda Arts Festival on Sunday in Mumbai. Lewis says he missed the stage and cannot wait to perform live.
"I was missing stage and the live gig vibe terribly. Although I made music, did virtual concerts and other musical work, nothing can replace the excitement of a live gig. I did compose a song 'Ek India' keeping the global pandemic in mind and featured various artistes," Lewis told Ians.
"Online work is great but we artistes make songs for people, so all we look for is instant reaction of the audience. It is because of their energy that the same song sounds different in each concert," he added.

New Delhi, Feb 26: Over the years, Indipop has faded away and record companies are unwilling to invest in the genre, composer Lesle Lewis points out.
Lewis, who formed the band Colonial Cousins with ghazal singer Hariharan, says "though there is nothing wrong in increasing popularity of Bollywood music", due to this "the record companies have stopped investing in Indipop music albums".
"They feel such albums won't work anymore, so what is the use of bringing them out anymore," Lewis told Ians.
The 1990s saw an upsurge in private albums by singers like Baba Sehgal, Anamika, Shaan and Jasbir Jassi, but later Bollywood.

For the past 5 years, there hasn’t been any film that has actually witnessed a grand success both at box office and won critical acclaims as well. Indeed, the producers are so vexed as they’re giving up their film production. It looks like Media One Global Entertainment is also going through the same turmoil as their previous films have been terrific flops.
With both of their previous ‘Dhaam Dhoom’ and ‘Modhi Vilaiyaadu’ flunking terribly at box office, the producers are very much concerned about their next release ‘Chikku Bhukku’. The film is directed by Manikandan, once an associate of Late Director-Cinematographer Jeeva. Colonial Cousins – Leslie and Hariharan have scored music to the lyrics of Vaali and Pa. Vijay.
The film’s released is scheduled in July and the audio will be launched during first week itself. Since Aarya’s previous ‘Sarvam’ and ‘Naan Kadavul’ haven’t done good business at box office,...
