Although it was scheduled to be his debut, Dev.D ran into production delays and was shelved for some time.

Upon Kashyap’s recommendation, Trivedi was roped in to score Raj Kumar Gupta’s directorial venture Aamir. Trivedi and Gupta worked on making the soundtrack fuse with the film narrative, resulting in an effort that garnered critical recognition.

Wishing Falguni Pathak A Wonderful 56th Birthday

Falguni Pathak

Falguni Pathak a.k.a Dandiya Queen was born on March 12, 1964, in Vadodara, Gujarat. She has four sisters. She is professionally recognized has “Dandiya Queen” of the world.
She is quite a famous personality among Gujarati community.

Every year during the festival of Navratri people from all over the world listen Falguni Pathak’s songs to do Garba on her Garga and Dandiya jingles. She is regarded as one of the first artists to make Garba so popular amount other people except Gujaratis. Let’s hear something more about her.

Career

Falguni completed her schooling and college from Mumbai. She graduated from M.M.K College of Commerce and Economics, Mumbai. She started singing on stage at age 9, growing up to perform at neighborhood events before she hit the big league in the 1990s. Since childhood she was treated like a boy, her parents wanted a boy right when Falguni was born that is one of the reasons why she is always dressed in a men’s attire. Her elder sisters always used to wear clothes like guys while playing with her so that she would feel less awkward.

She got trained in folk music from Dilwaliben Bhil and also Bhavdeep Jaipurwale for nearly 5 years.

She had recorded her first song in Gujarati movie when she was 10 years old along with Bollywood’s most successful singer Alka Yagnik.

Falguni Pathak has also sung many Bollywood jingles like –

Badan Juda Hote Hain, alongside Kumar Sanu

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bclQhj5m_eM

Aha Aha

Nach Nach Nach

Baba Yeh Meri Jawani

Yaad Piya Ki Aane Lagi

Kahan Teri Bansuri

Falguni Pathak’s Garba

Navratri is a 9 day-long festival that is celebrated with dance and music. In the northern part of India, this festival is celebrated with the Ram Leela, while in other states like Gujarat, people perform Dandiya and Garba. Singer Falguni Pathak is known as the Dandiya and Garba Queen for all the right reason. This year due to the pandemic, there are no live shows happening around the city, but if you want to enjoy dancing to the tunes of Falguni Pathak’s songs in the comfort of your home, here’s a full list of her songs to get that Garba vibe on.

Ta Thaiya

Pathak is India’s undisputed Dandaiya Queen. She’s been performing since 1986, forming Ta Thaiya in 1994. Her youthful but powerful voice may seem at odds with her signature jacket, sunglasses, short hair, trousers and ever-so-gentle headbang. But her look doesn’t matter.

Pathak’s specialty is in mixing unheard, unusual numbers with popular hits. She likes to perform in a new and different way every year. Fans happily pay higher prices for it.

Pathak is also a constant in the fast-changing world of the dandiya raas. Builders and construction companies, the chief sponsors of the events, are battling a slump in the real-estate market. Bollywood is turning villain, with copyright issues putting an end to contemporary film music performed for dandiya. And the community celebration is itself becoming more stylized and competitive.

Dwayne Das, Ta Thaiya’s sound engineer for 23 years, says Pathak is unusually meticulous. She knows exactly what she wants and how sound should be projected, if her requirements aren’t met, she won’t work with that organizer.

Still, Pathak admits to being a nervous wreck before every show. She can’t help but worry about how things will go. She becomes so anxious, she don’t feel like talking to anyone before getting out there to sing.

Falguni Pathak is also celebrating her silver jubilee with Ta-Thaiya after completing 25 years of numerous memorable performances with the band. The singer and the band will join hands once again to entertain Navratri revelers, with Falguni’s hit and popular tracks, including Yaad Piya Ki Aane Lagi & Maine Payal Hai Chhankai

Other Hit songs by Falguni Pathak

Jode Rejo Raaj

Rut Ne Jo Bansi Bajayi

Jhoom Jhoom

Hawa Mein Udati Jaaye

Yeh Kisne Jadoo Kiya

Saawariya Teri Yaad Mein

Meri Chunar Udd Udd Jaye

Maine Payal Hai Chhankai

In the recent pandemic of COVID19 faced by all the people in the world , when government of India declared National Emergency, Falguni Pathak during the lockdown period used to entertain her neighbors by singing songs from her balcony of her residence and got nationwide love.

Collaboration

Shantanu Moitra – Kanha Teri Bansuri (Leela)
Rajesh Roshan – Aha Aha (Na Tum Jano Na Hum)
Adnan Sami, Sukhwinder Singh – Nach Nach Nach (Deewanapan)
Anu Malik, Sapna Awasthi – Baba Meri Yeh Jawani (Ghaath)
Jatin – Lalit – Yaad Piya Ki (Pyaar Koi Khel Nahi)
Rajesh Roshan – Badan Juda Hote Hain (Koyla).

Many Many Happy Returns Of The Day To Legendary Mahendra Kapoor

Mahendra Kapoor

Mahendra Kapoor was born in Amritsar, city in Punjab. Soon he moved to Mumbai – A city of Dreams. He always considered Mohammad Rafi as his guru and cited many time that he was the best singer to be ever born, considered him his mentor, he started learning classical music under classical singers like Pt. Hussanlal, Pt. Jagannath Bua, Ustad Niaz Ahmed Khan, Ustad Abdul Rehman Khan and Pt.Tulsidaas Sharma.

Kapoor created a style of his own molded largely on Rafi. Kapoor had a very large vocal range, and he is sometimes known as The Vibrant Voice of India. He was the first Indian playback singer to record music in English. He was asked by the group Boney M to sing their songs in Hindi with Musarat from Pakistan.
Mahendra Kapoor sang the most iconic patriotic song of India, ‘’Mere Desh ki Dharti’’

Family

Mahendra Kapoor got married Pravinlata Kapoor and had a son and three Daughters.

Mahendra Kapoor and Mohammad Rafi

Mahendra was around 13 when he heard the Mohammed Rafi number ‘’Yahan badla wafa ka – Jugnu,1947 and was totally mesmerized by the singer. Mahendra somehow found out Rafi saab’s house in Bhendi Bazaar and reached there even though it was a riot-affected area post-Partition. Winning the Metro Murphy All-India singing competition (1957) made it easier for Mahendra to make inroads in Bollywood. Rafi saab helped him perfect the nuances. He sang the non-film song

Ilahi Koi Tamanna Nahi

He said Mahendra, to look at the stars and the moon. It’s such a beautiful night. The creator of so much beauty has no ghamand (pride). Then how can we, who’ve just sung a few songs, pride on ourselves? I’ll perform namaz, you do pooja and let’s thank the Lord.

And the two lost themselves in prayer. Mahendra would never let go of any opportunity to show his gratitude towards Rafi. In 1979, a Mahendra Kapoor night was held at the Royal Albert Hall in London where Rafi’s sons, Khalid and Sayyed, happened to be present.

When Mahendra came to know of it, he asked the organizers to get him two garlands, something impossible at that hour. They were, however, bought from a temple in the vicinity. Then, he called the boys on stage, garlanded them, touched their feet and said, ‘I am not touching your feet, I am touching the feet of my guru who’s sitting in Mumbai!’ The audience was moved. Every singer has been influenced by another but no one acknowledges it.
Surprisingly, Rafi and Mahendra never sang together (except in Aadmi, 1968).Rafi would say, ‘Log hum mein kushti ladayenge (people will pitch us against each other). We are brothers, not rivals
The ’70s saw a paradigm shift in film music with the combination of Kishore Kumar and RD Burman taking over. It was a highly insecure phase for all singers, not only Kapoor.

The Indian and earthy style of singing popularized by singers like Talat saab, Rafi saab, Mukeshji and Mahendra Kapoor gave way to a western style. The instruments changed completely. That era troubled dad. Left, right and center it was only Kishore Kumar.

There was only one song of Rafi Saab and Mahendra Saab

Aadmi 1968

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFuo1wrfOOI

The Burning Hand Story of Raj Kapoor for Mahendra Kapoor.

Mahendra Kapoor told his family another incident when he went with Raj Kapoor for a show in Tashkent, in Russia. Rajsaab asked him whether he would play the harmonium when he sang his songs.

My father agreed, so as decided, my father played the harmonium and Rajsaab sang his songs. People applauded, Rajsaab was a demi-god in Russia.

The song ‘’Neele Gagan Ke Tale’’ was a huge hit in Russia. He asked someone to translate the song into Russian language and memorised it. After Rajsaab left the stage, Kapoor started singing ‘’Neele Gagan Ke Tale’’ in Russian. People went mad, and they began calling out my Mahendra Kapoor’s name and cheering for him. Rajsaab heard the noise and wanted to see who was so popular.
On seeing Mahendra Kapoor on the stage, he said, “Sirf ek Kapoor he doosre Kapoor ko maat de sakta hai” (Only one Kapoor can defeat another Kapoor).
Rajsaab was very happy with my Mahendra Kapoor.

While returning from Tashkent, he said, ‘Mahendra, I can’t give you the songs pictured on me as Mukesh sings my songs, you know that.’
Mahendra Kapoor said, ‘I know it and I don’t want them. Mukesh is a good friend.’
Rajsaab said, ‘There are second heroes in my films for whom you can sing. I can give you those songs. Henceforth, all my second hero songs, only you will sing.’
My father pulled his leg a bit. ‘Paaji, you are such a big man, once you reach India, you will forget you ever told me this.’
Rajsaab said, ‘Mahendra, you think like this of me?’ He then took the cigarette he was smoking and burnt his hand and said, ‘This mark will remain on my hand to remind me that I have to give you songs.’
When they came back, Rajsaab gave him the songs –

Woh Gaana Gaye Ga from Sangam

Mohan, debuted as a singer and sang the song ‘’ISHQ WALA LOVE’’

which was loved by everyone and film critics as well. The Song was soft ballad along with the music duo Salim Merchant and Sulaiman Merchant a.k.a Salim – Sulaiman.

Later she was heard in the song ‘’Jiya re’’

Which was composed by the legendary A.R Rahman she said that Rahman caller her for recording while getting perceived from him.
Eventually Neeti Mohan had shown too much enthusiasm and energy previously on the show due to which A.R Rahman had chosen her to sing the song. And she turned out to be awesome.
Due to delays in the date of release Jiya Re was release after the Ishq Wala Love which was shot after Jiya re but was released first.
Anyway, both of them made mark on Bollywood’s critics and audience too.
A Bollywood entertainment website ‘’Koimoi’’ mentioned that Shakti Mohan’s refreshing voice delivers the track with lot of enthusiasm and variations. And anyway Rahman had already appreciated she got recognition since then.
Mohan provided the chorus along with Natalie Di Luccio in Raghav Sachar-composed “Bittoo Sab Ki Lega” from Bittoo Boss, released the same year. During the year, she released her first single, titled “Ja Ja” composed and written by Mohan, assisted by her father.
Mohan lent her voice for Ayushmann Khurrana’s Punjabi track, “Saadi Galli Aaja“

co-composed, co-written and co-sung by Khurana. Since Mohan does not speak Punjabi, she had to learn to pronounce the words before recording the song. “Koimoi” stated that Mohan “mesmerizes” the listeners in the unplugged version of the song, with her “husky voice”. Mohan performed the track “Kashmir Main Tu Kanyakumari”

for Vishal–Shekhar composed Chennai Express, along with Sunidhi Chauhan and Arijit Singh. Besides, Neeti Mohan worked with Vishal–Shekhar for two other projects; Gippi and Gori Tere Pyaar Mein, where she recorded “Dil Kaagzi”

For the former and “Naina” for the latter. While Mohan and Rashid Ali were performing in one Rahman’s concert show, he came up with the idea to bring a duet between the two, since “both shares similar vocal texture”. Hence, Neeti Mohan did playback for Sonam Kapoor in Raanjhanaa “Nazar Laaye“. Mohan had to bring the “softness” in her voice to match the “definite attitude” in Kapoor’s persona for her character.

In 2014, Mohan released a song ‘’Tune Maari Entriyaan’’ from the film Gunday which starred Ranveer Singh, Arjun Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra. She had sang that song along with Bappi Lahiri, Vishal Dadhlani and K.K. The Song was successfully listed in top 10 songs of the year, by The Times of India Radio Mirchi.

From City Lights Producer of the film, Mukesh Bhatt wanted a “young Asha Bhosle”, hence she had to Fix her “tone and projection” for the song. Likewise, Mohan was roped in by Vishal–Shekhar for Bang Bang and Happy New Year, where the title track for the former and “India Waale” for the latter were commercially successful. Besides, Mohan provided backing vocals for the track “Makhna”, featuring Sukhwinder Singh in Rahman-composed American film Million Dollar Arm.
In the year 2015 Neeti Mohan’s biggest hit was Mohan’s biggest release of 2015 came with Amit Trivedi’s Bombay Velvet, where she performed six jazzy tracks for the album Trivedi was in search of a voice with an “Asha Bhosle meets Nina Simone” best quality for Anushka Sharma’s Jazz singer character Rosie in the film, when he considered Mohan as the choice. According to The Indian Express, “what has worked” in the song “Mohabbat Buri Bimari“

is Mohan’s extemporization in the middle of the track—with all the hiccups, laughs and squeals in place. The film marks the first time she read a script before recording a track to the respective film. “I was asked to sing just like how I would perform live”. She recorded the songs at the studio dressed like a jazz singer, with people around her to cheer her.

For another track “Dhadaam Dhadaam“, Mohan was locked up in a room and was asked to “feel the pain of someone who’s going through a break-up”. Describing her time recording the song, she said; “I ran a fever after that song and you can almost hear the tear in my voice towards the end”. Additionally,

Mohan recorded a track titled “Naak Pe Gussa” for the film, which was inspired by K. M. Nanavati v. State of Maharashtra case. Mohan again collaborated with Trivedi in Shaandaar where she performed both “Nazdeekiyaan” and “Senti Wali Mental” for the film.

She considered Mangeshkar as her “greatest teacher for playback“, while she credited A. R. Rahman for making her sustain her standard; “He is a task master but he gets the best out of you. His standards are very high, be it a recording or live performance”. Mohan has also been influenced by many artists outside the country.
