Renowned Santoor player Pandit Shivkumar Sharma passed away on Tuesday. He was 84. The maestro composed music for many popular Yash Chopra films in the 1980s and 1990s. Films like Silsila, Chandni, Darr, Lamhe and many others with iconic evergreen songs had music composers Shiv-Hari at the helm. However, sceptics believed that the musical duo, also including flautist Hariprasad Chaurasiya, would dilute their art to meet the demands of Bollywood.
hindi film songs of silsila
"Silsila" is a 1981 hindi film which has Shashi Kapoor, Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, Rekha and Sanjeev Kumar in lead roles. We have 6 songs lyrics and 6 video songs of Silsila. Shiv-Hari, Hariprasad Chaurasia and Shivkumar Sharma have composed its music. Lata Mangeshkar, Kishore Kumar and Amitabh Bachchan have sung these songs while Javed Akhtar, Hasan Kamaal and Harivansh Rai Bachchan have penned its lyrics.
"We asked for two weeks, sat together at home and composed the songs. Sahir (Ludhianvi) was contacted to write the songs, but he was not able to fit himself into the schedule. So, after a lot of consideration, Javed Akhtar was taken on. It was his first assignment as a film (lyric) writer."
I would also add,The Classical based songs from क्षुधत पषण (Kshudit Pashan), by Ustad Amir KhanThree classical based songs, composed for the film by Ali Akbar Khan saheb.
He was a renowned Sitar Player. He composed only one song for the film, Kadambari. The song was written by Amrita Pritam. Sung by Asha Bhosle, it is one of her memorable songs.Composed beautifully, it has a rich flavour of classical music.
The 1981 romantic drama, starring Amitabh Bachchan, Rekha, Jaya Bachchan, and Shashi Kapoor, was the first film collaboration for Shiv-Hari. The songs included ''Dekha Ek Khwaab'' and ''Ye Kahan Aa Gaye Hum''.
For the classic that it has become, Silsila is not without imperfections. I love the musical picturizations of Hindi movies but even for me, this film just had too many. In one case, two songs back-to-back! Like Kabhi Alvida, I think Silsila could have been pared down and shed at least 15 minutes easily, if not more.
