What a sea of songs of Salil’s that Team Nostalgia sailed us through in its 66th Episode at Dignity Foundation, Bengaluru this month! Armed with a meticulously planned playlist themed on music composer Salil Chowdhary that spoke…nay sang volumes of the versatility of the composer, Anchor Sri Sheshadri Mokshagundam was all of verve and vigour.
Opening the programme with ”Naa Jiya Lage Naa” of “Anand” fame, sung by Rekha, audience couldn’t have asked for a more perfect beginning to Salil’s repertoire of songs. A complex number such as “Mila Hai Kisi Ka Jhumka” from film “Parakh” rendered effortlessly by Sudha as also that wonder song ‘Saathi Re Tujh Bin Jiya” from the horror film “Poonam ki Raat” stilled the audience to haunting silence! Only to be woken up with a peppy folky one like “Dhitang Dhitang Boli…” - lovely rendering by Rekha followed by yet another one “Aha Rhimjhim ki yeh Pyare Pyare …” a duet by Rekha and Shesh Sir tempting us to tilt our necks! Doing complete justice to some fab songs like “Kahi Door Jab Din Dhal Jaaye…” and “Suhana Safar Aur Ye Mausam Haseen…” was Prakash Sir. “Kahi Door…” was yet another one rendered by Prakash Sir picked from the film “Anand” where, as Shesh Sir says, “A movie made for Raj Kapoor; perfect poignant portrayal of every role; philosophy spoken on celluloid subtly conveying ways of welcoming the inevitable phase in every human’s life i.e., Exit from this world.
“Baagh me kali khili…” as well as “Dhitang Dhitang Boli…” rendered so beautifully in Bengali by Rekha. Why would she miss singing these when it’s heard through microphone at macro decibels in every pandal of the streets of Bengal. Thanks to yes S Chowdhary Saab, Bengaluru beti now I know why you are so much a Bengali Saheli.
Shesh Sir signed off in style preserving “Rajni Gandha…” title song till the end generously showering on us the Gandha (fragrance) of Salil straight from his “Dill’ (heart).
Not really for Smt. Girijamma, a cheerful lady among the audience of “Naa Ninna Marayalaare Sheshadri” fame! filing her “farmaaish” for the team to sing “Dooradinda bandantha sundaranga jaana” from the Kannada film “Samshaya Phala”. When rest of the audience second her first request, would the team refuse more so when “Sundaranga Jaana” is anchoring? Samshayave Illa !! (No doubt, absolutely !)
