Yaadein male hariharan movie#
One of the songs from the movie is a favourite: Bharat hamako jaan se bhi pyaara hai. His first film Roja won him the National Award for Best Music Director. In 2009, when AR Rahman won two Oscars (for Best Song (Jai ho)) and Best Original Score (together with Gulzar)(Slumdog Millionaire) many of us felt that the Roja songs and music were better than the Slumdog Millionaire. Roja not just won the National Award for Best Film on National Integration but was later dubbed in Hindi, Marathi, Telugu and Malyalam. Rahman’s films career started with the 1992 Tamil movie Roja, also a Mani Ratnam movie and also starring Arvind Swamy, though with Madhoo and not Monisha Koirala. In recent past, no other composer and music director has occupied space in our hearts and minds more than Rahman. Just as, the other day, we took up Surbahar player Annapurna Devi (Please see: ‘ Raaga Based Song Of The Day #88‘) who became a Hindu after having been born a Muslim as Roshana Khan, AR Rahman was born a Hindu, Dileep Shekhar, on (three days later is his 51st Birth Anniversary) and converted to Islam in 1989, at the age of 22. The song belongs to its composer Allah Rakha Rahman more than to anyone else. Unsurprisingly, the film won the Nargis Dutt Award for Best Feature Film on National Integration. Less than two years after the infamous Bombay Blasts, after the demolition of Babri Masjid, Mani Ratnam released this movie which based on a love story between a Hindu male and a Muslim female in the backdrop of the Mumbai blasts. We also jump several decades ahead, more precisely to the year 1995. Tonight, in order to do something new on the third day of the new year, I shall give you a duet between our twelfth male singer Hariharan and eleventh female singer Kavitha Krishnamurthy. We also took up songs of ten female singers: Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhosle, Suman Kalyanpur, Shamshad Begum, Geeta Dutt, Uma Devi (Tun Tun), Suraiya and Zohrabai Ambalewali, Sudha Malhotra and Amirbai Karnataki.
