The shivering vocals of Lata magically conveyed the first uncertain moves of innocence blossoming into love as she wonders what has changed this year which makes her react to the rain so differently.Īruna Irani in a backless maxie teases a young Rishi Kapoor in an party about how he is about to fall in the trap of love! The mischief and the taunting was well played out in the recording? the actor had little left to do. Youll be left breathless.Ī teenage Hema Malini in a bathtub with the rain pouring outside. Kishore and Lata steam up the mood just using their emotive voices. No, once again, you dont have to watch Vikram and Laxmi sweating it out.
Surprisingly, this number has not yet caught the attention of remix scavengers, for them, Lata songs seem to provide a lifetime of work.Īn out and out bedroom number.
The same year had another similar song by sister Asha BhosleMeri beri ke ber mat todo - kaanta chub jayega for∪nokhi Raat. Betcha this wont happen if you just listen to the feeble voiced remix number. But if you listen to the original, you don?t have to watch the visuals to feel sexy. Yes, this is the sameKaanta Laga song, the remix of which was a rage with Shefali Zariwala strutting her stuff. Heres a list of top twenty lovely songs sung by Lata which which capture her in a different mood - either seductive or playful, naughty or zingy, mischievous or joie-de-vivre filled numbers and even conveying longing and sex-starved feeling - completely unorthodox! Hence, instead of penning anotherme-too review giving more or less the same numbers all over again, let me blast the myth with which I opened this passage. Infact just take the first three reviews at the bottom of the page and they would cover a fair bit of my sample songs of Latas top twenty. The voice is a pathway to divinity - it is crystal clear and pure.Īnd like many others who have already written reviews on this topic, my list would be overfull with such divine numbers from among the thousands of Lata gems over the decades. True, when it comes to evoking sentiments of devotion, distress, melancholy or even innocence while singing a verse, the prowess of Lata Mangeshkar is unparalleled. This is the lament that most people have about the pristine voice of Indias nightingale.
