Swarapriya, Thanks for all the information on Guide. I tried hard but couldn't get the English version. Keep sharing HB Harshji, It is always such a pleasure to hear from you. I have also tried to get the English version but had no luck. A good friend of mine has seen the movie in English when he was in US a while back. One of her comments was that there are some intimate scenes between Waheeda and Dev in the English version that may not be palapatable for Indian audience. However, this observation was made sometime back. It probably is no longer true the state of where Hindi movies is now. Do you know whether the English version was ever released in India? Cheers, Swarapriya |

(Asha) Teesri Manzil (1966)
Here is one of my favorite movies. Everything comes together in this movie like a well organized and well executed musical concert. The story, songs, music, performances, they all add up to make this a thoroughly enjoyable entertainer. Nasir Hussain, who produced the film, was busily getting ready with "Baharon Ke Sapne" and approached Vijay Anand to direct this movie. Originally Vijay’s older brother Dev Anand was to star in it. But Dev was enjoying his new found success and recognition from making "Guide" and was not immediately available. Instead the role went to Shammi. Hussain was looking for someone to compose the music and Shammi recommended his old friends Shankar and Jaikishan. Majrooh Sultanpuri, who wrote lyrics for every Nasir Hussain movie and a good friend of Hussain, suggested R.D. Burman’s name. R.D. was new to the game and had only "Chhote Nawab" behind him. However, Hussain went along with the idea. Vijay Anand knew R.D. well (being son as well assistant of S.D. Burman), and liked the idea. But Shammi wouldn't budge. R.D. composed a couple of songs to convince Shammi that he will be able to do the justice and when Shammi heard them he had no problem. R.D. became a regular with Nasir Hussain for many of his future films. Together the tandem of Hussain-Burman-Majrooh collaborated in churning out many memorable musical hits that are remembered even today even after many many years. The music of “Teesri Manzil” was a standout. It had some breakaway music and sounds that were never heard on an Indian screen before. A good example of this is the duet Asha and Rafi Saab sang “Aaja Aaja Main Hoon Pyaar Tera”. It was a clever juxtaposition of Eastern and Western music that was at once appealing to ears as well as hearts. Asha Bhosle and Rafi Saab sang all of the songs in this movie. Apart from the song already mentioned, the other standout songs are that beautiful duet of Asha and Rafi Saab, “O Mera Sona Re Sona Re” and the romantic solo of Rafi Saab “Deewana Mujh Sa Nahin”. It turns out that this was the last Nasir Hussain movie where Rafi Saab sang all of the male songs. He did return with a bang in Hussain's "Hum Kisise Kum Nahin (1977)" where he sang that memorable National Award winning song "Kya Hua Tera Vaada". The picturization of the songs from this movie is still talked about. Vijay Anand uses some unusual camera angles to picturize the songs, like a dance seen from an eye or a guitar hole. Incidentally Salim, who would later become part of the famous Salim-Javed writing team, played a bit role in the movie. He plays drums to Helen's song and the dance number "Oh Haseena Zulfonwaali". Salim, father of actor Salman Khan, later married Helen. During the filming of this movie Shammi lost his actress wife Geeta Bali. Vijay Anand helped Shammi overcome the grief. I am uploading songs from this album in two back-to-back posts. In the first post, I am also including a special version of "Aaja Aaja" song with Asha's introduction. This is taken from the album "Legends: R.D. Burman - The Versatile Composer (CD 1)". Now for the first set of songs ...

It takes sometimes a lifetime to sing 3 songs of this quality, Rafisaab has done this on innumerable ocassions in one film. SD Burman was so overwhelmed after the recording of Din Dhal Jaye that he said to Dev Ananad and others around him " Kaun ga sakta hai aisa". How true. I cant imagine anyone reaching an outcome that Rafisaab has but the same is true for just about all his songs.
All 3 epic renditions in one of my favorite films, a film that has has to of my favorite SD Burman renditions. Kya se Kya Hogaya....still gives me goose bumbs but so does thousands of other songs of this unmatched giant of playback singing, the very best of the best. This post has been edited by suhana_safar: Mar 25 2010, 03:23 AM PLAYBACK SINGING STARTS AND ENDS WITH RAFISAAB. IN TERMS OF QUALITY, CONSISTENCY & VERSATILITY, RAFISAAB IS INFINITE LIGHT YEARS AHEAD OF ALL SINGERS BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER HIM. |

Chura Liya from Yadon ki barat is a timeless song and as for comebacks, personally Rafisaab never left the pinancle, so for me a comeback is something of a myth. Dear Swarpriya I am in no way trying to criticise you, one are one of my favorite HF members someone whom i respect, i am just giving my opinion.

SS, You put your thoughts about Rafi Saab's singing abilities so well. A gifted singer for many generations to come for sure. Aren't we fortunate to be around to listen to such treasure lodes of songs from Rafi Saab's magnificent voice? Thanks for sharing Burmanda's thoughts about the song "Din Dhal Jaaye". Cheers, S |
