ROCKSTAR- MOHIT CHOUHAN


I have been reading a book on painting lessons. the author says - to express  something as a form; it is not necessary to put each and every  detail, sometimes too much detail mars the beauty of  the painting.
so it is very important to know how much detail is enough to express a form beautifully. I think same is true for music too.

A R Rahman is without doubt a gifted musician but I think , he should downsize his orchestra to make his music more fit with  ENOUGH space for  SINGER as well as LYRICS.
If he is too much passionate about music only he should  opt for making symphonies that lack both vocals and lyrics.

  what we call music in common sense is combination of music, singer and lyrics. In this combination music is prime, followed by singer  and lyrics. but each part needs its expression without hindering other, rather should complement each others.
why i am saying all this?
after listening  the song "aur ho" from Rock star.
 a superb song I heard after a long gap from any new movie. music is extra ordinary but it  has over shadowed lyrics and vocals of Mohit Chouhan.The hindi- urdu words are so stretched and minced for the will of the musician that they have not received the expression they deserved.
 I have written the name of irshad kamil on the wall, if everything goes well , he would be the lyricist of the this decade.
 I hear “aur ho” but it could not get my attention,

but one day I heard the line   
 Main hasrat mein ik Uljhi dore hua.. Suljha de..ho ho
Main dastaak hoon Tu band kiwadoon sa Khulja re..ho.

this is the  only line in whole song where music, vocal and lyrics  are fully visible.

the vocal of lovely lady from Bosnia is sweet but does not go with the emotion of deep pain. the most extra ordinary thing is- MOHIT CHOUHAN.
 With this song  he has jumped to the next level of singing, it’s  my feeling that he has left far  behind ; all the existing male singers of the hindi cinema.
In spite of all the shortcomings for MOHIT CHOUHAN`s sake , I love this song too much.

The way he sings the line  in high note- Iss lamhe..kya kar doon mein Jo mujhe chain mile Aaraam mile -is just fantastic and
Ranbir`s expression in movie for this line is just superb.  Over all worth to include the song  in musical blood people.
I have tested it Ok as I  heard it more than 100 times without feeling any boredom.

Meri bebaasi ka bayaan hai
Bus chal raha na iss ghadi-2

Rus hasrat ka nichode doon
Kus bahon mein aa todh doon

Chahoon kya jaanoon naa
Cheen loon chod doon
Iss lamhe..kya kar jaaoon
Iss lamhe..kya kar jaaoon
Iss lamhe..kya kar doon mein
Jo mujhe chain mile
Aaraam mile

Aur ho aur ho
Saans ka shor ho
Aanch ki ore badhe
Aur ho aur ho
Saans ka shor ho
Taap bhi aur chade
Aur ho aur ho
Aur mile
Hum aur bhi jal jaaye

Tujhe pehli baar mein
Milta hoon..Har dafaa
Meri bebaasi..ka bayaan hai
[oh saathiya..]
Tujhe cheen loon ya chodh doon
Tujhe maang loon ya modh doon
Iss lamhe..kya kar jaaoon
Iss lamhe..kya kar doon mein
Jo mujhe chain mile
Aaraam mile
Aur ho aur ho
Saans ka shor ho
Aanch ki ore badhe
Aur ho aur ho
Saans ka shor ho
Taap bhi aur chade
Aur ho aur ho
Aur mile
Hum aur bhi jal jaaye
[ Piya..piya..
Piya..piya..
Piya..]

Main hasrat mein ik
Uljhi dore hua..
Suljha de..ho ho
Main dastaak hoon
Tu band kiwadoon sa
Khulja re..ho

Oh bebaasi
Mann mein bassi
Aa jeetey jeetey
Jeeley sapnaa..
Aur ho aur ho
Saans ka shor ho
Aanch ki ore badhe
Aur ho aur ho
Aur mile
Hum aur bhi jal jaaye
Ruke sa..na ruke
Yeh na thake
Aandhi si joh chale
Inn sansoon ki
Pata bhi na chale
Kahan pe kya jale
Hai darr se
Tann mann ki
Sehran se..
Hasrat ki
Surgan se
Bhadke aag..

Shola shola
jake bhuje
Dhuaan dhuaan oh
Dhuaan dhuaan
Lage mujhe
Dhuaan dhuaan oh

Meri bebaasi ka bayaan hai
Meri bebaasi ka bayaan hai
Meri bebaasi ka bayaan hai

Betab dil ki tamanna yehi hai


I have been out of gear. I mean my musical journey seemed derailed.  Whatever collection I have, I tried all but could not find solace. I thought, I have lost the taste of music.  Listening few favorite one but it was just not as passionate as I have relation with music.  Suddenly an old song came to rescue me and put me on the musical track. 
I am listening to this song in a loop.
 And suppose God asks - tell me the song for which you love to die.
 At the moment   I would say- BETAAB DIL KI TAMMANNA YAHI HAI.
Lata Ji once again totally captivated my ears in sweet tone, Kaifi sahib`s  touchy words and wonderful  score by  Madan Mohan.  I recognized this   musicians quite late.  A class musician of own kind  


Apne se bhi chhupa ke …. My fav line.




Betaab Dil Kee, Tamannaa Yahi Hai,
tumhein Chaahengey, Tumhein Poojengey,tumhe Apanaa Khudaa banaayengey


sune Sune Khwaabon Mein, Jab Tak Tum Naa Aaye Theiy
khushiyaan Thi Sab Aauron Ki, Gam Bhee Saare Paraaye Theiy
apane Se Bhi Chhupaayi Thee, Dhadakan Apane Seeney Ki
hum Ko Jeenaa Padta Thaa, Khwaayeesh Kab Thee Jeeney Ki
ab Jo Aa Ke Tum Ne, Humein Jeenaa Seekhaa Diya Hai
chalo Duniyaan Nayi Basaayenge
betaab...




bheegey Bheegey Palakon Pe, Sapane Kitaney Sajaaye Hain
dil Mein Jitana Andhera Tha, Utaney Ujaale Aaye Hain
tum Bhi Hum Ko Jagaanaa Naa ,Baahon Mein Jo Sou Jaaye
jaise Khushabu phooon Mein, Tum Mein Yun Hi Kho Jaayein
pall Bhar Kisi Janam Mein, Kabhi Chhootey Na Saath Apana
tumhein Ayese Galey Lagayenge.
betaab...


waadey Bhi Hain, Kasmein Bhee, Bita Waqt Ishaaron ka
kaisey Kaisey Aramaan Hain, Mela Jaisey Bahaaron Ka
saaraa Gulashan De Daalaa, Kaliyaan Aaur Khilao Na
hansatey Hansatey Ro Dein Humein  Itanaa Bhi Tou Hansaao Na
dil Mein Tum Hi Basey Ho, Saaraa Aanchal Wo Bhar Chuka Hai
kahaa Itani Khushi Chhupaayengey.
betaab...

Anmol Vachan:
If I could write 360 posts ever , I would tell the  song which I believe  can make me respond  even if  I were dead.
