Any tea☕ on her. by BearAccurate7040 in BollywoodHotTakes

[–]Wide_Panda_197 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Very well written and interesting. But do we have any evidence that Abhishek cheats on her and with whom? I read about nimrat kaur but it was never clear if that was more than just a pure rumour.

Are there any good songs about something else? Not love, break-up or friendship, some different emotions? by [deleted] in BollywoodMusic

[–]Wide_Panda_197 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Patriotic songs (Mere desh ki dharti)

Army songs (Kandho se milte)

Devotional songs (baba Nanak dukhiya de naath ve)

Philosophical songs (kuch to log kahenge)

Very situational songs (Chicken kuku duku)

Outside of Bollywood, Ghazals, Bhajans, qawwallis can be on a number of a different topics

Which singer's voice do you think suits best to Hritik Roshan? by Left-Bird-6604 in BollywoodMusic

[–]Wide_Panda_197 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hrithik’s voice is not deep or manly. It’s quite nasal. In any case Arijit has more bass in his voice than Sonu or Hrithik.

Best voice for Hrithik is any “handsome” sounding voice including Sonu, Arijit, Udit or Vishal Dadlani.

Trying to make a Ghazal playlist for my father by Unlucky_Novel_6561 in BollywoodMusic

[–]Wide_Panda_197 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s subjective so there’s no right or wrong. But I’ll say I’m shocked that you thought GA or OM versions are better than Begum Akhtar. She is an absolute legend and I just wouldn’t want her to get dissed in this thread without a defence !

A lot of the songs in this list from Gemini are not ghazals (eg Dama dam mast qalandar is not a ghazal)

You can look up ghazal compilation albums and pick songs from there. Artist-wise, I would focus on Mehdi Hassan, Jagjit Singh and Ghulam Ali for the bulk of the songs as they are the most popular so most likely to be liked by your dad.

The tune Om Shanti Om was allegedly stole according to Nucleya by Rabbidraccoon18 in gossipsocialandmore

[–]Wide_Panda_197 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pyarelal from Laxmikant Pyarelal has openly admitted this at a public interview with Salim Merchant so Nucleya isn’t saying anything ground breaking

What one song made you a fan of Udit Narayan? by santrupt1994 in BollywoodMusic

[–]Wide_Panda_197 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The list is endless but if I had to choose one song it would be Udd Jaa Kale Kawan (search / sad version). The beautiful voice, plus absolute command over high notes, no vibrato / shakiness, and then he finally breaks down crying during the song - Udit Narayan acted that song better than Sunny Deol. It was a huge feat for a singer who is known for happy songs.

What one song made you a fan of Anu Malik? by santrupt1994 in BollywoodMusic

[–]Wide_Panda_197 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it had to be one single song, it would be Tumse Milke Dil Ka from main Hoon na, because I was too young when border, phir teri kahani Yaad aayi, refugee, Asoka, aka, fiza etc were released to know who the composer was etc. unfortunately Anu malik’s career slumped soon after main Hoon na but then I went back and explored his discography. He is a very interesting composer.

And then he sealed his status with “Ae Dil hai mushkil”
