As Subir rushes after her to make sure he does not lose sight, Burman Dada brings in his favourite Bamboo Flute and the Santoor to add to the spell that\u2019s being cast. The violin obbligatos form superb bridges. Particularly, one notices all the tabla beats as one approaches the beginning of the interludes, the pace picks up, a bit racy.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>The Challenge to Create a Rustic Classical<\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_3360\" style=\"width: 226px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3360\" class=\"wp-image-3360 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/learningandcreativity.com\/silhouette\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/01\/SD-Burman-Majrooh-Sultanpuri.jpg\" alt=\"SD Burman and Majrooh Sultanpuri\" width=\"216\" height=\"367\" srcset=\"https:\/\/learningandcreativity.com\/silhouette\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/01\/SD-Burman-Majrooh-Sultanpuri.jpg 216w, https:\/\/learningandcreativity.com\/silhouette\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/01\/SD-Burman-Majrooh-Sultanpuri-88x150.jpg 88w, https:\/\/learningandcreativity.com\/silhouette\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/01\/SD-Burman-Majrooh-Sultanpuri-177x300.jpg 177w, https:\/\/learningandcreativity.com\/silhouette\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/01\/SD-Burman-Majrooh-Sultanpuri-150x255.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 216px) 100vw, 216px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-3360\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The challenge SD Burman and Majrooh Sultanpuri faced was to create a classical song but with a tinge of the rustic countryside<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The lyrics by Majrooh Sultanpuri capture the feel of the village with a fair use of dialect, <em>heraai aai kangana, gori ad jao na maano kehna, kari ho bahana <\/em>and so on. Subir has not met Uma before but thanks to Durga Mausi (Durga Khote\u2019s) briefing earlier, he is aware that\u00a0 that the priest at the temple, Sadanand Bhaiyya and his daughter are exponents in classical music.\u00a0 He had heard her the day before chanting <em>shlokas<\/em> with her father.<\/p>\n<p>Now here in lies a curious challenge in this song. The composition needed to have a classical base to show Uma\u2019s expertise and ease with its complexities. Yet it had to be rooted in the village soil, which in other words means using a dialect without making it folk. There could not have been a lighter song nor a pure classical. There is <em>sangeet <\/em>in the entire <em>shrishti,<\/em> and the music of Nature had to be captured in all its mellifluous hues.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c2150a;\">Besides, there was a greater challenge where Burman Dada had to make Lata sing in a manner that reflected that the heroine on screen was a better singer than her to-be-husband. Imagine having to make her sound better than Kishore Kumar and Rafi all through the other songs in this movie without making them compromise on their rendition. Well, SD Burman is no stranger to drawing out the best from his singers and this song is a shining example of that acumen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c2150a;\">The orchestration had a super balance of poetic and commercial superiority. At 2.18 Lata stretches to fit the meter with an excellent murki <em>Ab khadi khadi sochoon<\/em>.<\/span> It heightens the dilemma of the bride who has lost her bangle and is wondering what excuse to cook up for her mother-in-law and sister-in-law who would quiz her about it for sure. Oh well, it did prove costly meeting her beau discreetly on the river bank!<\/p>\n<p><div id=\"attachment_1132\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1132\" class=\"wp-image-1132 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/learningandcreativity.com\/silhouette\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/04\/Lata-rehearsing-for-Dada-Burman-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Lata rehearsing for Dada Burman\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/learningandcreativity.com\/silhouette\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/04\/Lata-rehearsing-for-Dada-Burman-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/learningandcreativity.com\/silhouette\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/04\/Lata-rehearsing-for-Dada-Burman-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/learningandcreativity.com\/silhouette\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/04\/Lata-rehearsing-for-Dada-Burman-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/learningandcreativity.com\/silhouette\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/04\/Lata-rehearsing-for-Dada-Burman.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1132\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lata rehearsing for Dada Burman <br \/>(Pic courtesy: Sachin Dev Burman Fan Club Facebook Group)<\/p><\/div><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #c2150a;\"><em>Dekhi hai saas nanadiya<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Tab kaa kare ho bahana <\/em>{an amazing stretch}<br \/>\n<em>Ab to sooni kalaa-aa-aa-i <\/em>(the matras make her voice dance down the steps)<br \/>\n<em>Laike chori chori jaana<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Bhaari pada re piya se milna <\/em>[2]<br \/>\nThe postlude is simple and does not dominate the singer.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><em>Abhimaan<\/em> &#8211; a Team of Super Talents<\/h3>\n<p>This was a dream project for director, Hrishikesh Mukherjee. He had apparently discussed about it with S D Burman way back in 1969 after <em>Aashirwad<\/em> (1968). For various reasons the project kept getting delayed. For Burman, it was also a pet project for after many years he was getting an opportunity to compose for a film that had music as its primary subject. Within himself he had been planning ever since.<\/p>\n<p>Dreamt of and planned for so long by people who were masters in their craft and co-produced by the lead stars themselves, <em>Abhimaan<\/em> had everything going right for it. Needless to say, the charisma of Amitabh Bachchan and the spontaneous simplicity of Jaya Bhaduri were ideally suited to their roles \u2013 of the singer star and the simple, innocent girl. As was characteristic of this super-talented actress, she emoted the song with exact emphasis in the correct places, seamlessly lip-syncing with the murkis too.<\/p>\n<h3>Shots are Cut to Match Beats<\/h3>\n<p>As students of cinema appreciation we\u2019ve analysed the world classics, dissecting them frame by frame for days on end.<\/p>\n<p>But when it comes to giving an easy-to-grasp glimpse of the craft of cinema to a regular movie viewer, I fall back on <em>Abhimaan<\/em>. Reason? Every frame in this film is a vital link to the story. One must acknowledge the critical role of the screenplay writers here &#8211; the legendary <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/learningandcreativity.com\/silhouette\/nabendu-ghosh\/\">Nabendu Ghosh<\/a><\/strong><\/span> along with Biresh Chatterjee\u00a0and Mohini N. Sippy. Drop a frame, you lose a link. Drop a song, you break the flow of the story irrevocably. <span style=\"color: #c2150a;\">All the songs of <em>Abhimaan<\/em> are &#8220;Obbligatos&#8221; unto themselves!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>And <em>Nadiya kinare<\/em> is no different. The story flows through the song and with each cut, Hrishida is careful not to intrude into the flow of the music. So when is the cut? Its on the <em>taal<\/em> or the <em>samm<\/em>! Check the cuts alternating between Uma and Subir that perfectly match the beats 1:06, 1:07, 1:08, 1:09 with a finish at 1:10. <span style=\"color: #c2150a;\">Notice the interplay between the Flute and the Sarangi in the first interlude.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>Kaahe panghat upar<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Gayi thhi chalke akeli <\/em><\/p>\n<p>The camera holds steady as Lata plays with the delightful murkis.
