But somehow nothing happens when I listen to this, which is the original

Hi Sumeet

Some songs in Vansh have the same tunes as the original. Since Ilaiyaraja has composed for the original i guess there is a similarity to Sadma

This Asha Bhosle number my friends is "as good as it gets" - musically (composition), vocally, lyrically and visually....

Film - Hum Dono.
Music - Jaidev.
Lyrics - Saahir Ludhianvi.
Singer - Asha Bhosle.
( Do not forget to listen to the magical words by Saahir sahab and how stunning Saadhnaji looks..)

Also note the exceptional use of VIOLINS and the GUITAR..... its totally haunting and addictive once u begin to decipher the magic in it..... a class apart.....
So much beauty in this world......

Song - Kya janu sajan.
Film - Baharon ke sapne.
Singer - Lata Mangeshkar and Lata Mangeshkar.
Music - R.D.Burman.

Please follow the violins..........

I heard this same song live played on Trumpet by none other than KISHORE SODHA ji who was the main Trumpet player in the RD Burman troop. I have never heard trumpet sound so sweet and glorious. Thank fully someone has uploaded the Video on youtube, watch the full video, it grows on you:

Since I attended this concert I always look forward for the trumpet while listening to any RD Burman number

Film - Ek musafir ek hasina.

I only had a glimpse of this era and I miss it so much. I really dislike what everything has become now

Yes corelement, if u speak of music then i too really dislike what everything has become now...
But, the decline in music is also followed by a gradual improvement in the quality of MOVIES that r being produced today.... i mean, not the mainstream hindi films but a lot of low budget hindi and mostly regional films.... some fascinating and original work done there...
So i think u lose some and u gain some....
Also u can always catch-up on the missed era by listening to the old classics today.... thats what i do all the time... i too am yet to discover a lot of old beauties...
Take for example this beauty...

Film - Maya.
Music - Salil Chaudhary.
Lyrics - Majhrooh Sultanpuri.
Singer - Lata and DWIJEN MUKHERJEE (now i was so convinced that the male singer here was Hemantda and i still find it difficult to tell the difference between the two... Maybe some bangla guys who have heard Dwijenda more than i have would be able to make out....)))
Anyway its a lovely song.... evergreen salilda....

**sumeet** · 04-03-2012, 06:02 PM

The film Maya has such a beautiful soundtrack btw...
All the songs r topnotch....

Song - Ja re ud ja re panchi.
Film - Maya.
Music - Salil Chaudhary.
Lyrics - Majhrooh Sultanpuri.
Singer - Lataji.

I've been trying to find high quality recordings of Salil Chaudhary's bengali songs but cant find them. Any idea where to get?

i have been told that u get tonnes of vinyls on the streets of Kolkata... Its the easiest and cheapest place to find vinyls... And u cannot go wrong with quality of recordings with vinyls....
I have a few by Hemantda and Burman dada, but none by Salilda.... Will try and search for them...
