Bhojpuri Industry ki Maa behen kar di hai.

All blame goes to singer/actors like Pawan Singh, Kesari Lal Yadav, Nirahua, Ritesh Pandey etc. Its frustrating because some of them have very good vocal quality (specially Pawan Singh).

 

Till late 90's to early 00's...Bhojpuri music had less but very good songs. Manoj Tiwari, Bharat Sharma, Malini Awasthi, Sharda Sinha were the real stalwarts.

 

Post commercialization, we are seeing these new singers mushrooming from left right and center whose songs are cheezy & borderline soft porn promoting.

 

That's why many bhojpuri singers left Industry and went to Bollywood instead. Vishal Mishra & Payal Dev are few examples. They still sing some songs here and there though.

 

Please share some good ones

This number has one of the worst dance sequences of all time. In an Industry with Sunny Deol and Nasseruddin Shah, that is a feat!

 

Alka Yagnik in the 90s was on a different level. Too bad the video ruined it.

You are right, never realized it. Rahul  is worse than Sunny Deol , probably Ajay Devgan se talkar leta hain. The choreographer must have thought to better have him do a lot of headshakes to showcase his nicely shampooed hair. . Karishma is a good dancer but  here she is handicapped as she has to match  his left feet. Ugh horrible pelvic thrusts :facepalm:Classic song to watch at a gathering to laugh at. This is gold!

Amateurish choreography!

 

If you know that someone is a terrible dancer, you focus on his face during a dance sequence.

Let Rahul Roy shake his head and let his shampooed tresses bob around. Zoom in.

Do a long shot on Karishma Kapoor and let her do her thing. Dance with without abandon.

 

Instead we have a long shot on *both* of them!

 

In this song ( also very likable) from the same movie, we have better choreography for a large section of the song.

This song is so beautiful.

"Mere dil ke aaine me tasveer hai tumhari, ab tum to ban Gaye ho...zindagi hamari".

No wonder why we used to byheart these songs lyrics by lyrics.

 

Unlike today's "chaar botel vodka, kaam Mera roz ka...na mujhko koi tokey, na kisi ne roka".

is gaane pe koi vishesh tippaNi? 

 

Must be the same choreographer . I have a feeling that Bobby Deol must have been adopted. The father and first son certainly have matching dance skills

One of my fav. So many memorable songs. This is one of the classics

 

 

 

Mukesh was probably one of those rare singers who sang most of their songs with a realistic feel that it immediately connected with the common masses.

 

This song has that philosophical touch which makes you think the life and its purpose. 

 

Here is another gem, my father's favourite.

Heard this song in a talent show. I am gobsmacked, one of the greatest listening experiences I have ever had . May have listened to this a long time back, not sure. MS Viswanathan, Kannadasan supremacy. @Real McCoy @velu @rollingstoned @Stan AF @vvvslaxman @Vicks57 @ash @Vilander and other Tamil movie watchers, where does this song rank in Tamil film industry? 

 

Always knew about Sivaji's greatness. But how regal does Savitri look !!!! The critically acclaimed Telugu movie Mahanati (Keerthy Suresh) is based on her. 

 

Wish I had the Tamil knowledge depth to better understand the works of a giant like Kannadasan. Have had some friends explain his genius and spontanity, many kickass stories about him, how he would go about writing lyrics.

This is the GOAT stuff brother.

 

Very tear jerking. Very very extra sentimental. There are not enough adjectives to praise this song. Will walk into the all time ever best classics in tamil cinema.

@coffee_rules recommend some old Kannada classic.

There are so many. In that Tamil song, a few words on the female singer P. Susheela  to banta hain. She was called the Lata Mangeshkar of South India , not that she can’t stand on her own ability. Just a comparison of the sweetness in her voice and high-pitched tonal quality. Truly blessed singer. 
 

In Kannada industry of the same period, Kannandasn and Soundarajan sang a few songs and were not as popular as P.B Srinivas (the Mohd Rafi or Mukesh of the south) in Kannada. He sang for all heroes and even in Tamil for Gemini Ganesan mainly. One of his songs in the same genre comes to my mind 

 


Man. P Susheela >>>> S Janaki or , Chitra or whoever. 
 

Another giant singer of the same era is Ghantasala , mainly in Telugu and Kannada. He was classically trained and superior in talent to all South Indian singers of his era. This song is there in both Telugu and Kannada

 


Agree, you’ll enjoy the songs more if you know the language . I enjoy songs of Hindi, Kannada, Telugu and to some extent of Tamil  s well. SPB songs in all South Indian films are superb .

 

Tagging @rtmohanlal another connoisseur of music
