In the second part of this series “The Art of making Fresh Songs derived from other Hindi Film Soundtracks” already released, here are the references of some memorable tracks which were just reworked from the antras, preludes or interludes of other existing songs very intelligently.
But once again I would like to remind that all the inclusions here are not mentioned in a negative sense to raise some allegations on our talented music directors of the Golden Era & present. Instead its all about the healthy & intelligent inspirations which they took either from their own earlier works or from the works of other fellow music composers as a humble gesture of mutual appreciation, which was once lovingly visible in our Hindi Film Industry prominently.
So in this Second Part of the series, here is the….
List of Songs extracted from the Antras, Preludes or Interludes of other already released songs, which can be easily spotted as you listen to the source tracks mentioned below, once again :
1. The song “Gharhi Gharhi Mora Dil Dhadhke' can be heard in the interlude of 'Aaja Re Pardesi' from the same film MADHUMATI (1958).
2. 'Baagh Mein Kali Khili' from CHANDA AUR SURAJ (1965) is there in the interlude of 'Saathi Re, Tujh Bin Jiya Udaas Re' from POONAM KI RAAT (1965).
3. Interlude of “Jaani Tum To Dole Daga Deke” from DR. VIDYA (1962) later gets re-composed as “O Panchi Pyare” in BANDINI (1963).
4. The Bhajan “Kaahe Apno Ke Kaam Nahin Aaye Tu” from RAMPUR KA LAXMAN (1972) can be found in the notes of interlude of “Aaj Ka Junli Raat Ma' from TALAASH (1969).
5. The antra of 'Haan Pehli Baar' in AUR KAUN (1979) are very similar to the antra of “Thodi Si Jo Pee Li Hai' from NAMAK HALAAL (1982).
6. In the song "Aapko Agar Zaroorat Hai” in HATYA (1988), the phrase "Take-Take-Take" gets composed as another melodious song in film DILJALAA (1987) as “Jaan Tan se, Tan Jaan Se”.
7. The Theme Music of MERA NAAM JOKER (1972) can also be heard towards the end of the song “Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega” in Raj Kapoor’s SANGAM (1964).
8. In the track, “Chand Sa Mukhda Kyon Sharmaya” from INSAAN JAAG UTHA (1959), the mandolin piece that follows the mukhda plays the notes of another song "Dho Ley Tu Aaj Apne Dil Ke Har Daag Dho Ley' from APNA HAATH JAGANNATH (1960).
9. One of the ‘Chorus Interludes’ from the song "Chehra Hai Ya Chand Khila Hai" in SAAGAR (1985) was re-used as the antra of "Tune Kiya Kya Jadoo" which was sung by RDB only in film APNE APNE (1987).
10. The prelude & the Ist interlude of the song “Aa Zara Mere Hamnashin” from POONAM (1981), becomes one of the main hit song of KAREEB (1998) as “Chori Chori Jab Nazren Mili”.
11. And then an interlude of the same song “Aa Zara Mere Hamnashin” from POONAM (1981), becomes the main melody of “Tu Hawa Hai Fiza Hai” in FIZA (2000) too.
12. The antra of “Rabbi Re Rali Gulaab Ki Kali” from YAARANA (1995) is exactly similar to the antra of “Dil Tera Deewana Hai Sanam” from DIL TERA DEEWANA (1962)
13. The interlude of song “Maine Rab Se Tujhe Maang Liya” from KARMA (1986) becomes the Mukhda/ Sthaya of a song in EK HI RAASTA (1993) as “Akh Mere Yaar Ki Dukhe”.
14. The antra of Ram Laxman's song from film TARANA (1949) “Gunchey Lagey Hain Kehne” gets recycled in a very intelligent manner by him only for the mukhda of “Maye Ni Maye” in HUM AAPKE HAIN KAUN (1994).
15. The interlude of “Tere Naino Ne Chori Kiya Mera Chhota Sa Jiya” from film PYAAR KI JEET (1948) suddenly reminds you of the similar notes used in the prelude of “Jiya Beqaraar Hai Chhayee Bahar Hai” from BARSAAT (1949).
16. A small musical piece in the interlude of “Mujhe Teri Mohabbat Ka Sahara Mil Gaya Hota” from AAP AAYE BAHAR AAYI (1971) at once reminds you of another beautiful song “Kuchh Iss Tarah Do Dil Mile” from BHAIRAVI (1996).
17. The song “Hamesha Hamesha” in HAMESHA (1997) very cleverly uses the theme music or signature tune of MERA NAAM JOKER and RK Films both in its composition and ending musical piece.
18. The antras of “Batao Tum Kaun Ho” song from ANMOL (1993) are composed just as it is, like in the cult classic “Yeh Sama, Sama Hai Pyar Ke” from JAB JAB PHOOL KHILE (1965).
19. The prelude of the song “Frenny O Frenny” in KHATTA MEETHA (1981) later becomes the track “Tanhayee Tanhaaye Tanhaaye” in KOYLA (1997).
And similarly there may be many more instances where talented music directors made complete masterpieces inspired from the Antras, Interludes or Preludes of other songs quite amazingly.
Cheers!
(With thanks to ‘Rajiv Vijaykar’ & his FB group on the same subject for being the inspiration behind this series on our own internal musical inspirations.)
(Note : If you also have an information of any such instance in Hindi films then please let me know as I would love to include it as your contribution to the list.)
