#VIDEO SONGS MAINE PYAR KIYA MOVIE#
Salman Khan is fantastic his role in the movie could only have been played by him - no other top actor could have pulled it off. This was the film that made Salman Khan a huge star, and he deservedly won the filmfare best male debut award for this. MPK is one of those love stories I can watch over and over again and love it even more. In fact I would go as far as calling MPK the best soundtrack of the 80's.
My favourites are Mere Rang ne or Kabootar Ja Ja. Usually when I listen to a movie soundtrack I normally listen to a couple of songs and skip the rest but not the case with MPK, I can listen to the songs over and over again and never get bored. The thing I love so much about MPK is the songs, each one is a masterpiece. The story is as old as the hills but the way it is told is very sweet and you really feel for the lovers. Most people may claim HAHK was Mr Barjatya's best movie but I find it ridiculously overrated, MPK was Mr Barjatya's finest hour. Bhagyashree went on to get married whilst Salman Khan went on to star in Sooraj Barjatya's Hum Aapke hain koun and Hum Saath Saath Hain. Salman Khan and Bhagyashree made their debut along with debutant director Sooray Barjatya. Maine Pyar Kiya the highest grossing movies of 1989 and considering it had to contend with Yash Chopra's Chandni that is very good indeed. Nevertheless, Maine Pyar Kiya remains one of the most loved albums of the 80s and 90s and it’s most popular and most melodious song “Dil Deewana ” (both the solo male version by SP Balasubramaniam and female version by Lata Mangeshkar) continues to feature in the playlist of most 80s and 90s music lover.Maine Pyar Kiya came out at the time when multistarrers were the safest bet at the box office.
Incidentally, the music of the “Theme from Love Story” has also inspired Anu Mallik and Laxmikant Pyarelal in a few songs and also features as a background score in many movies. The first few lines of the song, “Mere Rang Mein” to the peak at “Mere Sawalon ka Jawab Do”, too are partly inspired from the initial portions of Francis Lai’s “Theme from Love Story ”. The keyboard riff that plays at the initiation of the song (peculiarly picturised on a saxophone) is ripped from the keyboard riff of “The Final Countdown ” by the Swedish band ‘Europe ‘. To Raam Laxman’s credit, every other portion of the song apart from the guitar tune bears their creative impression.Īnother song from the movie that was inspired from a western hit was the SP Balasubramaniam solo “Mere Rang Mein Rangne Wali “. The lovable SP Balasubramaniam and Lata Mangeshkar duet that often finds a mention during “Friendship Day” and “Valentine’s Day” among youngsters, “Aaya Mausam Dosti Ka ” too features a guitar riff used as a prelude and interlude that is lifted from the millennial whoop (Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Ho portion) from the song “Tarzan Boy ” by Baltimora from the album “Living in the Background”. Incidentally, in 1991, Nadeem Shravan also took inspiration from the Stevie Wonder song for the movie Jaan Ki Kasam in the melodious Udit Narayan–Anuradha Paudwal duet by the same name (“I Just Called to Say I Love You”), but the inspiration was limited to that single line in their version. The immensely popular title track sung by SP Balasubramaniam and Lata Mangeshkar, “Aate Jaate Hanste Gaate ” was a total note-by-note lift from Stevie Wonder’s “I Just Called to Say I Love You “. Unknown to many, three of the most popular songs from the movie’s soundtrack, which contained 11 songs, were heavily influenced by western hits.
