...Mere Sapnon Ki Rani...

Hi Friends , I'm presenting a Nostalgic Hindi song which is an all time hit. "Mere Sapnon Ki Rani" Kishore Da's one of the masterpieces from the film "Aradhana" .The song is a fast number enriched with Anand Bakshi Sir's Lyrics and S D Burman Sir's Music.
Anand Bakshi was born in Rawalpindi, now in Pakistan, on Monday, 21 July 1930. Anand Bakshi came to Bollywood to get a career for himself in singing but ended up becoming more successful in writing lyrics. He got his first break in films in 1956 when Bhagwan Dada signed him to write four songs for Brij Mohan’s Bhala Aadmi, from which he went on to work as a lyricist for over 300 films in the course of his life.He established himself as a versatile lyricist with the song Dum Maro Dum in the movie Hare Rama Hare Krishna (1972). After this, he wrote memorable lyrics in many movies including Bobby and Amar Prem ,Sholay,Hum,Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge,Taal,Mohabbatein, Gadar - Ek Prem Katha , to mention a few.Late in his life, he suffered from heart and lung disease as a consequence of life-long smoking. He finally died of organ failure on 30 March 2002 at Mumbai's Nanavati Hospital, at the age of 72.The last released movie with lyrics by Anand Bakshi was Meri Biwi Ka Jawaab Nahin (2004).Bakshi received 40 Filmfare nominations, and won four Filmfare awards as best lyricist. The songs were:Aadmi Musafir Hain in Apnapan ,Tere Mere Beech in Ek Duje Ke Liye , Tujhe Dekha in Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge,Ishq Bina in Taal. Bakshi wrote the most lyrics -- for more than 250 movies -- with the music directors duo Laxmikant Pyarelal as the movies' composers.He won many Ruby Film Awards, Aashirwad Film Awards, Sushma Shama Awards, 3 Screen awards, and Zee & Stardust Hero Honda Awards.Bakshi won an award from the SPCA for his hard-hitting lyrics for the song Nafrat Ki Duniya Chhodke Pyar Ki Duniya Mein from the film Haathi Mere Saathi
S D Burman : Music director born in Tripura. Classical training by his father, sitarist and Dhrupad singer Nabadwipchandra Dev Burman; later with ustad Badal Khan and Bhishmadev Chattopadhyay. Early work for radio was based on East bengali and North eastern folk-music.In early 30s made a reputation in bengal as singer of folk and light classical music, e.g. at the Allahabad Sangeet Sammelan (Music Conference) in 1935. First record was of a Nazrul Islam composition.First film as singer: Tinkari Chakraborthy's Sanjher Pidim ; also acted in Dhiren ganguli's Bidrohi . Music director from 1939 onwards in Calcutta.

Remained Dev Anand's key composer for several years (Paying Guest, Tere Ghar ke Saamne, Jewel Thief, Prem Pujari). As a singer, his thin but powerful, accented voice was often used as a bardic commentary: e.g. the Wahan kaun hai tera musafir in Guide, Safal hogi teri aradhana in the hit Rajesh Khanna movie Aradhana.

A man who can sing and dance, act and mimic, write and compose, make you laugh and cry all at one time,a person who lives by defying norms,a genius whose talent is immeasurable, Multi-faced, versatile, eccentric, sensitive - There has been only one such a man in Hindi filmdom, Kishore Kumar. Kishore Da was born on August 4, 1929.Since his childhood Kishore nurtured dreams of becoming a singer and following the footsteps of his idol K. L. Saigal. The young Kishore's real ambition was to become a playback singer and which became true, when, music director Khemchand Prakash called him to lend his voice for Dev Anand for the film Ziddi in 1948, the song was 'Marne Ki Duvayen Kyon Maangoon".He recorded his last song on october 12, 1987, a day before he died. Lata Mangeshkar's fond and fitting tribute best describes this great personality....."He was a sampoorna kalakar (the complete artist). He knew everthing. I call him India's Danny Kaye. Producer, Actor, Singer, Director, Lyricist, Composer....."
