Isn't it true that in those days, if the song was off, the scene had to be entirely reshot?Richahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06929327513426934169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8204542.post-24123576850769896362016-01-04T23:31:22.464+05:302016-01-04T23:31:22.464+05:30Loved this - specially the bit about Musafir.

Keeping in mind the fact that most playback singers try to emote their voices to identify with the actor on screen, a few songs sung by actors have been tailored to focus on the emotive aspect of it, and less on the sur taal. <br />For example - ye jeena bhi koi jeena hai lallu = is not typical angry young man, but still typical amitabh bachchan<br />aati kya khandala is typical tapori - the character played by Aamir<br />and so is Apun bola from Josh by Shah Rukh. The same is reflected in lines sung by Dileep Kumaar(also in Devdas) that underline his tragedy king status. <br /><br /><br /><br /> <br />Rahulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08600228969911790479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8204542.post-15020791439836830102016-01-02T22:20:47.668+05:302016-01-02T22:20:47.668+05:30""Here was sensitive, bespectacled Salma...""Here was sensitive, bespectacled Salman, confined to the recording studio, far removed from the world of sleeping pavement-dwellers and black bucks, in touch with his finer emotions simply by virtue of being a singer. The video had obvious merits as a public-relations exercise."<br /><br />Hahaha...I agree. In fact, I would go one step further to add that Salman (and even other stars like Amir and SRK) are better actors off screen than on screen.
