There is only one right way to complete my series of "Top 100 Bollywood Soundtracks Review" by paying respect to the True Showman of Bollywood. "Raj Kapoor" is the benchmark of Indian cinema that all generations of filmmakers strive to achieve. Before he became India’s greatest showman, before he became India’s favorite Joker, he was the common man, the vagabond, a persona that was as iconic and famous across the globe as Hollywood’s tramp Charlie Chaplin. His persona of the common man that all Indian’s routed for was shaped by Raj Kapoor and his band of merry men - Shankar Jaikishan his music directors who were the soul of his movies, Shailendra and Hasrat Jaipuri his lyricists who were the heart of his songs and Mukesh his voice. With the help of his friends and the talented Nargis, Lata, Manna Dey and Rafi he would conquer the hearts of the world. That is how the legend of Raj Kapoor was born with Barsaat, Awara, Aah, Shree 420 and Chori Chori in post independence India.
Their immortal partnership begins with Barsaat, a movie directed by Raj Kapoor which introduced India to the music of Shankar Jaikishan and the words of Shailendra and Hasrat Jaipuri. The RK films logo came into being from the iconic scene of Nargis and Raj Kapoor in this movie. The movie also introduced the actress Nimmi and was the first movie written by Ramanand Sagar who would go on to make several big movies but will be most remembered for his Epic series Ramayan. The success of this movie allowed Raj Kapoor to build RK Studios and launch his Iconic brand. The amazing soundtrack of this movie begins with back to back masterpieces by Lataji as she sings “Jiya Beqarar Hai” and “Mujhe Kisi Se Pyar Ho Gaya Hai”. Both songs are extremely melodious as Shankar Jaikishan start their career with what would certainly become their memorable brand of music. Then the first ever song penned by Shailendra lands on a RK soundtrack as Mukesh and Lataji sing "Patli Kamar Hai”. The simplicity and incredible depth of the song’s lyrics is what made RK stick with this amazing partnership of musician, lyricist and singer till their last days. "Bichhde Hue Pardesi” by Lataji and "Zindagi Mein Hardam” by Rafi are incredible songs penned by Hasrat Jaipuri to bring side A to an end.
Side B kicks with the most popular song of the movie “Hawa Mein Udta Jaye Mora Lal Dupatta Malmal Ka” by Lataji, a song which has been covered, reimagined and remixed multiple times. Lataji sings her solo “Ab Mera Kaun Sahara”
