When a song in films becomes popular with the audience, the hard work behind it often does not come into discussion. Something similar happened with the song 'Judi Jodi' from 'Ramayana'. Lyricist Kumar Vishwas had to go through many stages in preparing this composition dedicated to the marriage of Lord Ram and Mother Sita. Initially, producer Namit Malhotra did not feel that his written words reached the emotional level that the film's team was looking for.
After this, there were repeated changes in the song and new versions were introduced. Even after six attempts, things did not work out, but in the seventh presentation, the words written by Kumar Vishwas immediately impressed the producer. The song was approved as soon as the line which was being searched for a long time appeared. Today this composition is a part of the popular music of the film and the story behind it has further increased the interest of the fans.
The song got approval in the seventh attempt
Kumar Vishwas had written this song keeping in mind the marriage ceremony of Ram and Sita. But producer Namit Malhotra did not feel that special impact in the initial presentations. The lyricist mentioned this experience during the preview event of the film. According to him, the producer was confident that he had the words that could properly convey the spirit of the episode, but he had not yet reached that particular line. After listening to the composition several times and discussing, finally the mukhda emerged, which ended the entire team's search. Kumar Vishwas told that as soon as he recited the line 'Judi Jodi Janam Janamon Ki Janak Ghar Gunje Hai Siya Siya Ram', Namit Malhotra immediately accepted it. The producer made it clear that this was the emotion and words he needed.
What did Kumar Vishwas say on the role of producer and director?
Through this experience, the lyricist also explained the importance of creative communication in film making. According to him, to improve a song, it is necessary to constantly give suggestions to the producer and director. Just getting consent on the first presentation is not success, but artists have to change their thinking many times to reach the right result. In the case of this song too, constant discussion and new choices shaped the final composition. Kumar Vishwas also indicated that only when there was a coordination between the producer's expectations and the lyricist's imagination, that special line could emerge, which gave the song a distinct identity.
Shreya Ghoshal's voice enhanced the attraction of the song
Famous singer Shreya Ghoshal has given her voice to 'Judi Jodi'. The lyrics of the song are written by Kumar Vishwas, while the music of the film is composed by AR Rahman. The creative partnership of these three has presented the marriage story of Ram and Sita through music.
Got a big response on social media also
After the release of the song, it received good response on digital platforms. According to available information, its number of views on YouTube has reached more than one crore. Kumar Vishwas expressed hope that this composition will be heard extensively in marriage ceremonies in the future. Four songs have been released so far in the film and the audience is curious about the music. The story of 'Judi Jodi' tells that sometimes the creator has to go through many unsuccessful attempts to reach a memorable song.
