My voice, My face = My hits

With Baiju Bawra, the suffering Indian woman found a new face in Meena Kumari (For the film she adopted the name Meena Kumari). The heroine in the film is ever ready to negate herself for the material and spiritual advancement of the man she loves and is even willing to annihilate herself to provide him the experience of pain so that his music would be enriched. It was a strong performance and fetched her the inaugural Filmfare Award for Best Actress in 1953. With Daera (1953), Ek Hi Raasta (1956), Sharda (1957) and Dil Apna Aur Preet Parayi (1960), Meena went from strength to strength playing the suffering woman, the martyr to prefection. It is a pity that Meena was known for her tragic roles and she too chose more such roles to cultivate her image of being the great tragidienne because in the few light-hearted films she did in-between like Azaad (1955), Miss Mary (1957), Shararat (1959), and Kohinoor (1960) she displayed an unhibitedness that was refreshing to say at least. In these films, her physical moments are free and unrestrained and her dialogue delivery absolutely normal, a stark contrast to the studied mannerisms and passive postures of her tragic roles.

Great articles!!! Love it! Eagerly waiting for more!! 👏

My voice, your face = Our hits

TALAT MAHMOOD AND DILIP KUMAR"

"There are numerous people who can sing like Mohamad Rafi, Mukesh or Kishore Kumar but hardly anyone who can recapture the softness and romantic melody of Talat Mehmood". No wonder, when melody ruled the roost in the Hindi film world, Talat Saab remained the number one singer for about seven years from 1950. He was totally identified with Dilip Kumar ("Babul'', "Daag'', "Tarana'', "Footpath'', "Sangdil'', "Shikast''), sang for Raj Kapoor ("Aashiana'', "Anhonee''), Dev Anand ("Taxi Driver''), V. Shantaram ("Parchain'', "Subah Ka Tara'') and other lesser-known heroes.

He was sought after by every music director including C. Ramchandra, Shanker-Jaikishan, Roshan, Ghulam Mohammad and Madan Mohan. This period also produced some of the most wonderful duets, pairing Talat mainly with Lata Mangeshkar and also with Asha Bhosle and Geeta Dutt. "Singing duets with Talat bhai was something special," observed Lata Mangeshkar. Around 700 songs including private recordings and ghazals in a career span of around 20 years may not be all that impressive. But quality is not judged by quantity.

Thanx BOB da u are back with a bang! i missed these articles and posts. All those articles were bang on!.

this is the combination no one speaks off but when u hear it, it is just magic

Sanjay Dutt and Adnan Sami. Adnans voice is most perfectly suited for Sanjay Dutt pretty much tailor made 😊 😊

Love this Combo.

Nice topic babu.

Among the current lot we missed out one more - Sudesh Bhosle and BibB.

Shammi Kapoor and Rafi Saab can be called the perfect voice and face combo. except for one song (dnt remember the song now) all the songs of Shammi Kapoor were sung by Rafi Saab.

Among the actresses its less prevalent in the olden era as mostly it was lata who used to lend the voice. Still one we can consider is Geeta Dutt and waheeda rehman.

Then there's S P Balasubramaniam and Kamal Hasan. How can we forget Anu malik and Salman 😆 As i recall will add more.

Didi - that movie is Ujala (1959) All Shammi's songs were either sung by Mukesh or Manna Dey. I remember 2 duets -- yalla yalla dil le gaya where Shammi had Manna Dey's voice and duniya walon se door jalane walonse door, aaja aaja chale kahi door kahi door kahin door where Shammi had Mukesh's voice. And there are 2 solos of Manna Dey in this movie which I am not sure are filmed on Shammi or are background songs. I had seen this movie many many many years ago and I still remember we had a great laugh hearing Shammi singing in Mukesh's voice. That sounded so odd.

Bharat Bhushan-Rafi saab.😊This combination has given so many beautifull songs.Baiju bawra,barsat ki raat,Basant bahar,phagun,dooj ka chand,sohani mahival,chandrakanta in all these movies rafi saab has sung for Bharat bhushan.Mejortity of them are all time classic.
