Asha Bhonsle Gave Kishoreda A Run For His Money

admin — Sat, 15 Mar 2008 19:48:05 +0000

Asha Bhonsle – The Heavenly Female Voice!

Something common ran through the trio of Kishore Kumar, RD Burman and Asha Bhonsle. What was this common factor? Was it the ability to break norms, leave aside classical rules and sing without any hesitation? Was it their fondness for the alien music styles, mostly the western ones, to which they would often fuse in with the Indian sounds? Or were they simply genetically coded to give each other run for their money, whenever it came to performing together? If they sang of love, they did so full throttle and not hiding behind the usual veils of Indian-ness that you might experience while listening to Rafi and Lata, the other two stalwarts of the Indian playback arena. Though, this Indian-ness and the two dazzling names in Rafi and Lata had its own charm and romance, which even the hardcore KK, RDB and AB fans like me will not deny about or choose to part away with.

KK, RDB and Asha gave together some of the best duets, that my generation would vouch for. Songs like Jaane jaan, dhoondhta fir rahaa hun tumhein and Aapke kamrei mein koee rahetaa hai (even RDB could be listened to in this one) are a couple such in many. They enjoyed a very great chemistry among them indeed. At the same time, it was only Asha who could give KK a run for his money in the duets she sang along with him. At times she seemed to edge ahead of KK, the way Ganguly at his best would overshadow Sachin on occasions, with his maverick stroke-making. “Did any healthy rivalry run among this Bollywood trio?” I forwarded this question to somebody who is trying to produce a new documentary on Kishoreda. I may or may not succeed in getting its answer, but the fact is Kishore Kumar, Rahul Dev Burman and Asha Bhonsle were several notches above the rest in entertaining the Indian audiences, once they formed up as a team in the post-1970 era.

Kishore Kumar – The Undisputed King!

A well-contested argument between Kishoreda and Rafi fans is always on cards whenever somebody speaks their heart out with respect to one of these two Indian greats – I have myself previously spoken on this subject. Recently, I discovered the following article by Sandipan Deb in The Indian Express, which declares Kishoreda as the numero uno without any leverage for Rafi fans.

Sandipan says, “his (Kishore’s) voice could transport you, and he had many voices, depending on which actor he was singing for, but all of them maintained a virility and a realness that I have always found missing in singers like Mohammad Rafi: even Rafi’s happy songs have always sounded a tad mournful to me and — sorry — a bit effeminate, and there’s too much training, too much technique behind those high pitched notes. In contrast, Kishore Kumar’s voice and his singing are guileless and straight from the heart. But he was much more than the voice. If ever there was a man who was living life to the full without making any concessions to any perceived wisdom, it was him. And it showed in his best songs, whether joyous or melancholy.”

A bit harsh for devoted Rafi listeners, one has to say, but the author backs himself up with some good observations. An overall thoughtful analysis, I’d say. Specially, if you recall how Rafi’s classical mold gave away to KK’s all-round performance post 1970. Hindi Cinema was, no doubt, bracing through a major transformation, which required more versatile singers and composers like Kishoreda, RD Burman and Asha Bhonsle. These three gave us some of the best music from that era, we know today.

While Gujarat and West Bengal may stand poles apart in many areas including their political beliefs, Kishoreda’s virtuosity is something nobody can dispute about!
