Abhimaan songs


Abhimaan (1973) starring Amitabh Bachchan, his real-life wife, Jaya Bachchan, Asrani and Bindu was directed by Hrishikesh Mukherjee. The movie is perhaps best remembered for its songs, composed and arranged by the late S D Burman, written by Majrooh Sultanpuri, and sung by famous playback singers Kishore Kumar, Lata Mangeshkar, and Mohammed Rafi. Songs like "Meet Na Mila Re Mann Ka ", " Teri Bindiya Re ", " Tere Mere Milan Ki Yeh Raina ", " Piya Bina Piya Bina " are still classics today.

The movie takes inspiration from A Star Is Born (1954). When it was released, audiences found similarities between real-life couple Amitabh and Jaya and the couple they portrayed on-screen—as Jaya's career was stronger than Amitabh's at the time. She won the Filmfare Best Actress Award for Abhimaan.

Synopsis: Subir (Amitabh Bachchan) is a professional singer whose career is soaring. He does not plan to marry—until he meets Uma (Jaya Bhaduri), a sweet village girl who also sings. Subir falls in love with Uma and marries her. He returns to Mumbai with his new bride. Subir continues as a singer and also fosters Uma's singing career. His career falters, however, just as Uma's singing career begins to thrive. Eventually, she becomes more famous than her husband, sparking jealousy from Subir. His pride and jealousy tear the marriage apart. The question becomes whether Subir can overcome his jealousy.

The movie reaches a very sensitive situation when the couple separates and Uma has a miscarriage. In what is considered a masterpiece of direction by Mukherjee and scoring by Burman, the couple comes together again in an emotional reunion and they sing together.

Anand (1971) Songs


Anand is a classic starring Amitabh Bachchan and Rajesh Khanna was written and directed by Hrishikesh Mukherjee. The movie was released in 1971 and the dialogues of this movie was written by Gulzar, who also happens to be the lyrics writer for the songs Maine tere liye, Na jiya jaye na and the poem Maut tu ek kavita hai , while Yogesh wrote for Kahin door jab din dhal jaaye and Zindagi kaisi hai paheli. Salil Chaudhary composed the music for this movie.The character of Anand was inspired by Raj Kapoor, who use to call Hrishikesh Mukherjee as "Babu Moshay". The film is dedicated to Raj Kapoor and the people of Bombay.
The film is about Anand Sehgal (Rajesh Khanna), a cancer patient who, despite knowing this fact, believes in living his life to the fullest. Contrasting Anand is Bhaskar Banarjee (Amitabh Bachchan), a sober doctor, upset with life and the dark reality of his nation. Bhaskar's tĂȘte-a-tĂȘte with Anand makes him notice the colours behind all the despair and complexity in one's life and teaches him a lesson. After spreading happiness everywhere around himself and changing the lives of many, Anand as destined, leaves them all, which inspires Bhaskar to write a book on his life.

The film is a narrative, as Bhaskar writes in his diary about his life before Anand, his first meeting, how his relation with him changes from a doctor-patient to a friend, and then to a friend for which he can do anything, and how a dying man leaves his thinking changed to such a great extent.
