Amazing preparation for a song: When Kishore Kumar called Danny Denzongpa to his house and understood his voice
New Delhi.In the golden era of Indian cinema, actors did not just perform their work, but also lived it. An interesting example of this passion came to light when great singer Kishore Kumar adopted a unique method to make a song special. This incident is related to the film in which Danny Denzongpa played an important role.
Many famous actors were seen in the film Abhi To Jee Lein, released in the seventies, but the film could not leave much impact at the box office. However, its music definitely caught people’s attention. A special song of the film was to be recorded in the voice of Kishore Kumar, which was to be filmed on Danny on screen.
When he got this information, he decided to do something different instead of recording the song in the usual way. He invited Danny Denzongpa to his home. At that time Danny was new in the industry, so the call of such a big artist was surprising for him. During the meeting, Kishore Kumar told him that he wanted to hear some songs in his voice.
Danny sang Nepali and Assamese songs with slight hesitation. He sang in his natural style and then returned from there. He did not understand what the purpose of this entire process was. But actually this was the stage where a big artist was preparing.
Actually, during that time, Kishore Kumar was closely understanding the fluctuations in Danny’s voice, pronunciation, expressions and his expressions while singing. They wanted to know how their voice would match with the personality of the actor seen on screen.
After this he listened to different folk tunes and regional songs and made changes in his singing on that basis. When he recorded the song for the film, it showed a different tone and style. When Danny Denzongpa appeared on screen performing that song, it became difficult for the audience to recognize that the voice belonged to someone else. This was the biggest success of this experiment.
This incident shows how seriously a great artist takes his work. Kishore Kumar proved that a good voice alone is not enough, but molding that voice according to the character is the real art. This is the reason why the songs sung by him seem as fresh and impressive even today as they were in his time.
