Staying power of Kalyanji-Anandji
Kalyanji later stated that it was easy to compose music for films like "Saraswatichandra". But in action films where music didn't play an important role, composing was a challenge. The mid-'70s saw the emphasis shift from music to action. Kalyanji-Anandji spent a lot of time for films like "Qurbani" and "Don". These discussions proved fruitful as the popularity of songs like Laila main laila ... and Khaike paan Banaras wala ... proved. Kalyanji-Anandji were known to be the most accommodating pair of composers in Bollywood. They were open to suggestions from the singer or the song writer who asked for a slight modification to their tune if it was "for the betterment of the overall effect of the song". Thus, when Feroz Khan got Biddu to do Aap jaisa koi meri zindagi mein aaye ... for "Qurbani", they did not mind it. To the Kalyanji-Anandji duo goes the credit of having introduced that phenomenon called Amitabh Bachchan on the stage. His popularity was never confined to India. So they came upon the idea of turning his instant appeal into live shows under their baton. Belonging to the Kutch side of Saurashtra, they also came under some Arabic influence which was discernible in some of their "Muslim songs" like Yaari hai imaan mera ... in "Zanjeer" and Qurbani qurbani qurbani ... in "Qurbani". The duo cherished the National Award for "Saraswatichandra" and the Filmfare Award for "Kora Kagaz". They were also proud of the fact that they were the first music directors to receive the platinum disc from HMV for the super success of their "Muqaddar ka Sikander". They claim credit for having introduced a number of singers like Kamal Barot, Kanchan, Hemlata, Manhar, Alka Yagnik, Sadhana Sargam, even Runa Laila.

The credit for the score of "Tridev", with its chart-buster Oye oye ..., went to Kalyanji's son Viju Shah, while K-A took a backseat. Kalyanji wanted to experiment with him before he became a solo music director.

I like this Gazal( lyrics) alot .

it really sound good in Mandi hassan voice too.

Mehdi Hassan's version is reckoned by many to be a singular testament of his skills.I do recall that a young, upcoming Hariharan had sung this on DD many yrs ago. This was before he became famous. He hd basically rendered Mehdi Hassan's version. I think even Asha Bhonsle has rendered Mehdi Hassan's version.

Qwestji,
Since you know Runa personally, she is from North Bengal and not from Sylhet .. right? I would like to lebel her most talented and versetile Bangladeshi singer. She started her career in West Pakistan because her father was posted there. After independence, all of them came back to Bangladesh. Her sister Dina who was a good singer too, died of cancer in her early age.
