Utalk Posted May 25, 2011 Author Posted May 25, 2011 I thought I was the only one who thought Sanu was over rated. His success was largely due to lack of quality competition. When he came into the picture in Ashiqui, Hindi film music was going through a bad phase both in composition and in singing. That was the reason why Nadeem Shravan and Sanu saw such immense success. I rate Udit Narayan far higher than Sanu. As better singers came along in the next half decade, Sanu disappeared very quickly. Another think very few know about Sanu is his ego and arrogance. That was one of the reason why when composers found quality replacements, they chose not to go to Sanu ever again. At one time, he thought he ruled the industry. He used to record way too many songs in a day and would typically give an hour/two hours for each song. Whatever he sang used to be final, whether it was to the composer's satisfaction or not. He did not believe in rehearsal. Even singers like Kishor Kumar and Rafi used to give 2/3 days per recording rehearsing every song over and over till it was perfected. But not Sanu. He would reach, record straight away and leave at his scheduled time. He did well in some songs, but I rate him as a very average singer. And I agree with outy that Amit Kumar would have been a far better choice for 1942. Bolded part I agree with completely.Sanu,s career suffered because of his arrogance.He was untouchable in mid 90s when he decided to act in a bangla film and left mumbai thinking he was some superstar. It backfired on him as the film was a flop and by the time he came back other singers had taken over. But I believe he had much to give to the music Industry but for lack of good MDs post 2000.Rehman apart I hate 2000s music.

Mariyam Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Here's a Kumar Sanu number, one of his lesser known ones. Heard it today morning on the radio after ages. Now can't help myself from playing it time and again. G6rN0fu6aMU
Mariyam Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 Time to bump this thread Ultak, is this the only Kumar Sanu song where he has starred in the video himself. bGDrIysedIM
jalebi_bhai Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 Good singer. Got nothing on Rafi and Udit Narayan though. More in Shaan and Sonu Nigam's league. BAqgHmIwp00 One of my favorite songs though I don't really care about the movie. PS: What is Vinod Khanna doing ? :hysterical:

Sooda Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Do Dil Mil Rahe Hain is one of great bollywood songs. But yeah he aint a patch on Udit, or KK and Sonu
