RD Burman has entertained us with his hunting melodies. I have some very selected songs composed by RD. Today’s listeners of Radio City/Radio Mirchi/Radio FM may not like these songs. But I feel they are the best of RD. Off course this is my personal choice.
Ghar Aaja Ghir Aaye Badara Sawariya* Lata “Chhote Nawab”(1962)
This is the first song of RD as an independent music director. Pure classical
based song is an immortal song.
Jago Sone Walo* Mannade- Mehamood “Bhoot Bangala”(1964)
Sung on a very high pitch yet another typical western style song.
Tumane Muze Dekha* Rafi “Teesari Manzeel”(1967)
You will find very few songs of RD-Rafi combinations. This is one of them but the best.
Kajare Badarawa Re* Lata “Pati Patni”(1967)
Yet another classical based song from RD. Excellent use of Santoor
Kya Janu Sajan* Lata “Baharo Ke Sapane”(1968)
Echo as well as overlapping voice effect is excellent.
Bhai Battur Bhai Battur* Lata “Padosan”(1968)
RD-Lata combination at its peak, Santoor is excellently used. Real hunting melodious song.
Ni Sultana Re Pyar Ka Mausam* Lata-Rafi “Pyar Ka Mousam” (1969)
Excellently composed duet song. One of the best of Lata-Rafi.
Kabhi Kabhi Aisa Bhi T* Lata-Rafi “Waris” (1970)
Yet another melodious song of RD.
Waadiya Mera Daman* Lata/Rafi “Abhilasha”(1970)
You will feel that you are on a hill station. Superb song. This is one of
my all time favorite.
Pyar Deewana Hota Hai* Kishor “Kati Patang”(1971)
Piano is superbly used in this song.
Muzase Bhala Ye Aanchal Tera* Lata-Rafi “The Train”(1971)
Sweet duet.
Kuchh To Log Kahenge * Kishor “Amar Prem”(1972)
There are so many good songs in this film but this is the best, according to me.
Samane Ye Kaun Aaya * Kishor “Jawani Deewani”(1972)
Fast track song. I used to sing this song on stages and won some awards too.
Dekha Na Hi Re Socha Na * Kishor “Bombay To Goa” (1972)
Yet another fast track song.
Chala Jata Houn Kisiki Dhun Main * Kishor “Mere Jeeven Sathi”(1972)
RD was at its best when this film was released.
Kehadoo Tumhe Ya Choop * Kishor-Asha “Deewar” (1973)
Evergreen songs of RD, Even I like the remakes of this songs.
Is Mod Pe Aate Hai * Kishor-Lata “Aandhi”(1974)
I feel RD has used Tabla excellently in this song.
Aaj Kal Paon Zameen Par * Lata “Ghar”(1977)
Very melodious song one of my all time favorite.
Tuzse Naraz Nahin Zindagi * Anup Ghoshal “Msasoom”(1983)
This song is also sung by Lata but I like this version.
Ek Ladaki Ko Dekha To * Kumar Shanu “1942 A Love Story”(1994)
I restarted my singing hobby after the gap of 22 years. I had sung this song and got some appreciation. Lovely song.
