The rumour has it that this film was inspired by the '60s Jerry Lewis comedy "You are never too young". Kishore shows his multiple talents as an actor, a comedian and an amazing singer singing in his own voice and also in a woman's voice in the same song ! Quite a feat really and there are some funny stories around it. Some of the most fascinating compositions of Salil are in this film. In one hand Salil experimented with the most incredible operatic arpeggios challenging and using Lata and Kishore's voices in the song 'Wo ik nigah kyaa milee' and on the other hand composed some wonderful melody in 'Chand raat tumho saath' inspired by scottish folk music .Salil composed four Bengali songs sung by two less well-known artists called Kaartik & Basanta. One of the songs is a mixture of Song #HT1 and Song #HT3. Actually its an excellent song on its own. Im sure Salil was feeling lazy or nostalgic or both ! HMV has been kind and thoughtful enough to bring out a CD with all the songs. |
