Nazrana 1987: Remembered for Kishore Kumar the Great
The discussion on the Rajesh Khanna, Smita Patil and Sridevi Starer Movie Nazrana 1987 is nothing but remembering the Song "Isse Pahle Ki Yaad Tu Aayee" by none but One and Only Kishore Kumar the Great. The Film has nothing Impressive in today's Context. No doubt, Rajesh Khanna, Smita Patil and Sridevi- all were Great acting Genius. But the Film is identified with the Singing Voice of Melody King Kishore Kumar.
Kishore kumar needs no introduction. But the way Maestro Kishore Kumar sang "Isse Pahle ki Yaad Tu Aayee" is just matchless. But the Film sends certain message to today's Playback Singers. As a Playback Singer Kishore is Second to None. His extraordinary Singing Calibre makes a Film successful both from Commercial and Artistic point of View. There are many films in Bollywood that became all time Hits only because of Kishore Kumar's Songs. The Great Kishore Kumar had the ability to make Film successful singlehandedly. His Singing Voice had been behind the Stardom of Many in Bollywood. So long, Kishore Kumar was alive, Bollywood depended more on Kishore Kumar's Songs and his Magical and Intoxicated Voice than any Actor. Kishore kumar established Playback Singing as a Different Gharana of Music that makes all spellbound even after more than 37 Years since the Artiste having Greatest Singing Voice bade adieu from this Mortal World. In fact, Kishore Kumar expired in the same year 1987 when the Film Nazrana was released.
But alas! Bollywood Playback Singing has declined to unprecedented low in the Given Time. The Playback Singers of this era have miserably failed to take forward the Legacy of Kishore Kumar. Today's Playback Singers should stand before the Mirror to find how much and why they have become Irrelevant in Bollywood Films. Playback Singing is virtually a non-entity in today's Bollywood. This proves the relevance of an Artiste like Kishore Kumar the Great who has already ensured his Immortality through his Unforgettable Songs which are popular among today's youngsters. Really, Artiste like Kishore Kumar comes only Once. No one was before him and Nobody can ever be after.
