But for me, Kaifi Azmi’s lyrics stand out. Lata’s singing is gorgeous, as is Meena Kumari’s dancing. Out of all of Pakeezah’s songs, “Chalte Chalte” is the most famous. The jury is still out on JTHJ (not my favorite) but Pakeezah, a tragic story about a tawaif’s life, has cemented itself as one of Bollywood’s most beloved and tragic films. It happened recently when director Yash Chopra died right before the release of his film, Jab Tak Hai Jaan, and it happened in 1972, when actress Meena Kumari passed away a few weeks after Pakeezah released. But whatever you do think of SRK (since he seems to be so polarizing), his fame at least is something you can’t argue about :Pĭeath has a strange (and unkind) way of making films popular. I also think he’s best in silly comedy, like this song here. I know SRK isn’t perfect (remember what he did to Aishwarya…) but he is The Superstar for a person my age (mid-to-late 20s and younger). To this day, SRK has the power to draw thousands of people to a location, and personally, he can make me smile with that iconic pose of his. SRK took more roles, but mostly ones as a villain.īut once he took his first role as a romantic hero in 1995 (in DDLJ and Karan-Arjun), his status as one of Bollywood’s top starts was cemented. His first film that released, Deewana, did very well, earning him a Filmfare Award. He did so well on television that he signed film roles left and right. As a result, he supported himself with small roles and theatre work until he got his first role in television in the late 1980s. Unlike most other Bollywood players, SRK did not have tons of connections in the industry and neither did his parents, who passed away early in his life. Oh, Shah Rukh Khan (aka SRK, King Khan, Baadshah, Baadshah of Bollywood). Khaike paan banaraswala | don: the chase begins again (2006) I think it’s touching then that when the two met is counted by The Guardian as one of the 50 key moments in world and folk music. Listening to the two of them, it’s obvious they were the best of friends, if nothing else. Bhosle still says it is her favorite song because it reminds her of Burman, who passed away in 1994 at age 54. It’s slow, contemplative, and a little sad. This song though, released after the two married, stands out. To this day, Bhosle and Burman are remembered for those types of groundbreaking collaborations – where he pushed the envelope by introducing new Western sounds, and she lent her sultry voice. Ten years after that meeting, the Bhosle and Burman would collaborate on Teesri Manzil, one of the first Bollywood soundtracks that can only be described as wild and frenetic. The two first met with Bhosle was married, when Burman, then a teenager, was trailing after his dad at work. Burman and Asha Bhosle remain on of Bollywood’s most famous couplings. Plus, I love the sisterhood her and Madhuri have going on the two constantly refer to each other as the best. Look at this song of hers! It’s not just about 'fun’ with her choreography – it’s fun and technical skill. And third, she does fusion best and dance best. First of all, what’s wrong with all classical anyways?Second, most of her routines are not purely classical unless called for. Khan has always emphasized Madhuri’s kathak and expressive skill in routines for Madhuri.īut because Khan utilizes a lot of classical Indian dance in her routines, she’s gotten this reputation of being old-fashioned and not as ‘fun,’ which I don’t like. Unlike other choreographers, Khan makes an effort to know the dancer. Khan has choreographed some of Madhuri’s most famous dances, including this one, which bagged Khan a Filmfare Award for Best Choreographer. The combination of Madhuri’s skill and Khan’s routines made Madhuri a legend. But, in my opinion, that credit should probably be only half of Madhuri’s.Įarly in her career, Madhuri benefited from a skilled choreographer, Saroj Khan, like no other actress before or after her. Her expressions, grace, and technical prowess have made her legendary in a very short time.

Anyone want to learn how to count in Hindi? If you do, listen to this song…and I would say this is a joke but really, I learned to count up to 13 in Hindi because of this song ) Anyways, if you are a Madhuri Dixit fan, you’ve probably talked about how she is the best dancer Bollywood has ever seen.
