Download Baabul WallpapersAmong the many first that BABUL may achieve, one prominent first would be emergence of Amitabh Bachchan as a music director. He has composed one of the songs in the movie. It is triumph of a perseverance that has graduated from exercising the vocal chords way back in late 70s to 2006 when it has brought about the confidence to hold the baton as well. Amitabh has been lending voice as a playback singer to most of the compositions off-late on a regular basis to expositions of Dr. Harivansh Rai Bachchan far from the media glare in various meetings that he had been attending in the dusty mofussil towns of UP.

It was with Kishore Kumar that Bachchan made his debut as a play back singer, crooning the absurdities with such a panache, and is a feat that, it is still difficult to emulate, rendering those absurd verses with such a consummate ease as he did. The consummate ease owed probably to being a son of an illustrious father, an accomplished Professor of English Literature, whose recitation of ‘Madhusala’ used to mesmerize the public. Then came MR. NATWARLAL, and, 'Ao Bachchon.. Mere Pass Aao Mere Dosto', which is, still a favorite of the children inspite of the changes in generation. It then became a regular feature and he was probably the only super star of his time who also used his own voice as a play back singer, be it in NASEEB or AALAP.

His confirmation as a singer was sealed with ‘Mere Aangne Mein’, which was scoffed at by the critics, but it became such a chart buster that AB had to do encore of its performances in various shows that he had taken during the earlier 80s. The ‘Chal Mere Bhai’ of NASEEB to ‘Pag Ghungroo Bandh Meera Nachi Thi’ of NAMAKHALAL were songs, which were performed on totally different octaves and still continued to become the chart busters, were indicative of the fact that AB was a serious student of music and a keen music aficionado. In fact in his heydays as a super star AB had remarked that he did not operate his music systems without wearing globes, so that the dust did not settle down on the system. And the ‘Jaha Chaar Yaar Mil Jayein’ of SHARABI is still a swan song for the stag parties. In association with Kishore Kumar the duets that Bachchan sang hit bulls eye every time. His blossoming as a singer was also to do with the fact that at those times he was majorly doing films with Manmohan Desai and Prakash Mehra who encouraged him to use his vocal chords for crooning as well, apart from dialogue delivery. Sudesh Bhonsle could make a career in singing only by imitating the voice of AB, and it was the ultimate tribute to the crooning abilities of AB.

The anthem song that he sung for MAIN AZAAD HOON, 'Itne Bazoo Itne Sar… was a tribute to the common man's struggle. ‘Jidhar Dekhun Teri Tasvir’ was may be ahead of its time in MAHAAN, but when it came in its modern avatar as ‘Main Yahan Tun Wahan… in BAGHBAAN it broke hearts as it carried the mellowing of the age and the rendition in synonymy with the age.

AB has been able to have his experimentation with his vocal chord for the soul reason that his voice is a voice of the common man, who may not have the ability to become a commercial singer, but have in his hearts an innate desire to crone to his beloved and his ilk in his own simplified manner.

Nimii, Bahut khoob...now who is not a fan of Big B???...another genious who keeps mesmerising his fans with different facets of his talent...that someone, who was considered unfit by All India Radio because they felt voice wasn't upto it, would go on become epitome of dialogue delivery with perhaps one of the most powerful voices bollywood ever got.....and further to a singer and now to a music director...unimaginable!!!!
Kishoreda and Big B....two peas of the same pod....what say???
