A lovely duet from "Bhairavi" (1996) today. Ashwini Bhave, Sridhar and Manohar Singh played the lead in this drama. The story is about a pretty village woman with a golden voice.
A duet from "Lakeer--Forbidden Lines" (2004) today. It is an action/romance drama that flopped at the box office. A. R. Rahman has reused his composition from a Tamil film, Rhythm for making this song. I am also including the clip for the Tamil song.
Singers: Kavita Krishnamurthy, Shaan
Lyrics: Mehboob
Music: A. R. Rahman
Over to the humble nimbu on our taste trail! Enjoy this very well-known dance number from "Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam" (1999) today. This is based on a Rajasthani folk song. With this song, Aishwarya Rai appears on two consecutive days in this space.
Presenting the title song from "Hum Saath Saath Hain" (1999). This film told the story of a joint family and had a huge star cast. Produced by Rajshri, it was received well by family audiences.

Today's song is from a different era, when many things in the world of Hindi films had begun to change. Films started featuring a galaxy of stars. They were produced keeping the non-resident Indians in mind, with a part of the story taking place in some foreign land. They got released in several cities across the world, ensuring a wider reach amongst their audiences. "Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham"(2001) belonged to this new era. Popularly known as K3G, this was a commercially successful film. Enjoy a peppy dance number from this film.
Singers: Kavita Krishnamurthy, Alka Yagnik, Udit Narayan, Sonu Nigam, Amit Kumar

"1942: A Love Story" (1994) was a good film with memorable music by R. D. Burman. It was the last film that he composed for. In fact, it was released after he passed away. A sweet duet from that film today.

She is ecstatic. She has just realised that she has found that 'special someone' in her life. This song from "1942: A Love Story" (1993) conveys her emotions in the most beautiful manner. Lovely lyrics, catchy composition and a marvellous Manisha Koirala went on to create this memorable melody. Enjoy it, it is an audio-visual treat.
Trivia: This film was R. D. Burman's last work as a composer. It brought him one of the three Filmfare Awards that he received in his entire career, although he was nominated for 16 films. This was the first Indian film to use Dolby Stereo.
Kavita Krishnamurthy bagged the Filmfare Award for Best Female Playback for this song. She married Violin Virtuoso L. Subramaniam and settled down in Bangalore. Javed Akhtar received a Filmfare Award for Best Lyrics too, but for another song from this film, Ek ladki ko dekha toh aisa laga.
