02:27In love's love...
02:29In love's love...
02:31Is a desert...
02:32What the sea...
02:34What time...
02:35This was the song from Vijay.
02:51In that song, I recorded a record of Suresh Shwadkar Ji and Rata Ji.
02:57I couldn't forget that very much.
03:01And thanks to Suresh Shwadkar Ji, who have so much love me.
03:09That was the song of Suresh Shwadkar Ji.
03:13That was the song.
03:14That was the song from Suresh Shwadkar Ji.
03:25That was the second repeat film from Yash Ji Banner and once again thanks to Yash Ji
03:37who gave me such big songs in such a big film and so big songs with Lata Ji was a solo
03:42duet song with Lata Ji, I got a girl named in Delhi and the second song with my favourite
03:49song with Lata Ji Banner. That was when we went to recording, I remember that we were recording
03:58in the bandram and at 5 o'clock we came to the mic in the evening and at 10 o'clock we did that song
04:04and the song was about 36 takes. 36 takes was an okay take which you listened to the original
04:12song with Lata Ji Banner.
04:18Parbat se kali ghatatak rai, paani ne kaisi ye aag lagai, he aag lagai, dil dene dil dene kirutu aai, parbat se kali ghatatak rai, paani ne kaisi ye aag lagai, he aag lagai, he aag lagai, that was the song.
04:45So it was a wonderful experience working with legendary like Asha ji, you know, I am a very big fan of him, I am a very big fan of him. Thanks Asha ji, I love you.
04:54Here is a romantic song, but when did you sing the title song?
05:02Yes, there is also a story, as I said that I had a very fascination with some names, one of the most famous names was Lakshmi khanji.
05:11Because Lakshmi khanji is the song of Kishoredaa, when I was listening to the songs, I felt like this is a dream, this is a dream.
05:18So the combination of Lakshmi ji is the song of Kishoredaa, what is the song of Kishoredaa, what is the song of Kishoredaa, what is the song of Kishoredaa and Lakshmi khanji.
05:39So I thought that in my life, there will be a chance that I will meet Lakshmi ji.
05:44When I was in college, it was a surprise.
05:48And when I came out of Kishoredaa, there was a song from Rup ki Rani Shoruka Raja, the last song recorded.
05:55And Amit Kumar ji was a song that somehow he could not meet Lakshmi ji or something like that.
06:01He told me once in consultant.
06:03The song came out of Lakshmi khanji, where is Lakshmi khanji, what I was wondering.
06:06So I thought that someone could be making that.
06:08So I was called again.
06:09So I immediately tapped out of the message of Lakshmi khanji.
06:13So I was also confirmed, okay, I came up to the evening.
06:17So I was sitting there, we looked at Lakshmi ji at the evening.
06:20I was very satisfied, because my father knew me very well,
06:26and I called myself Robin Hood, so the first time he gave me his name.
06:30Robin Hood
06:32So I felt very good
06:33and I didn't hear anything
06:35I didn't hear anything
06:36I didn't hear anything
06:37They called me Romeo Nam Chori Hikam
06:39It was my second day recording
06:41So he said, I'll give you a song
06:43But it's a song like that
06:45I said, okay, boss
06:47I called him a boss
06:48And the song was very difficult
06:51Romeo Nam Mera Chori Hikam
06:54I'm my heart, I'm my heart
06:55I'm my heart, I'm my love
06:56I'm my heart, I'm my heart
06:57I'm my heart, I'm my heart
06:58I'm my heart, I'm my heart
06:59I'm my heart, I'm my heart
07:01It was a very big challenge for Vinodra Thore
07:04But in my mind, there was a joke
07:06Like today, Ram Gopal Van Raar's Aag
07:08And at that time, there was a Aag
07:10So I cashed it
07:12And you don't know that there were like
07:14100 musicians, 40 chorus singers
07:17My Boop Studio
07:19Lakshmi Ji, Pya Le Ji
07:20And Boni Kapoor Ji, Anil Kapoor Ji
07:23And Javed Akhtar Sahib's Likhava Gana
07:26So these are some legendary people
07:27I've worked with them
07:29So it's beautiful to walk with them
07:31And I've learned a lot of things
07:33And you don't know that when recording started
07:37So the first take was okay
07:40So it was like a feather in one more, feather in the cap
07:44And my dear friend came to me
07:45And my dear friend came and gave me 100 rupees
07:46And she gave me 100 rupees
07:47And she said, wow, this is not something
07:49That I got a singer
07:49And I got a singer
07:50Which we can trust
07:52And which we can trust
07:53And which we can trust
07:54And you can see that that song
07:56My life changed my life
07:57Because it was a major major hit at that time
08:01And Anil Kapoor Ji
08:02And when we were doing a show
08:03So the first song is from Romeo
08:05And at that time, my name was Romeo
08:07And then the moment started
08:08And there was a moment
08:10That any title song or name with the film
08:14People used to call me
08:16So I started working with each and every music director
08:28It was moreover like telling a story
08:36Because there was a line
08:39And there was a line
08:41That I realized
08:42That I wrote
08:44My kids wrote the story
08:47How did my children change my life
08:50How did my kids change my life
08:52I was destroyed
08:54I was destroyed
08:56I was destroyed
08:57My mother's sons
08:58Where are there
09:00Where are there
09:01Where are there
09:02Where are there
09:02Where are there
09:03From Maira Khiji
09:04She has the entry
09:04And Sanjay Dutt
09:06I now remember
09:06She was playing her
09:07She was playing his role
09:09When you see the pictures
09:09Then you can see
09:10When you are playing
09:11When a singer sings it, how important it is on it?
09:15We have attitude towards the character.
09:21There is also a myth in the inside.
09:25If you have a anger, you will be crying.
09:29This is a very difficult task.
09:31I would like to give the singers to today's singers
09:34that they should play the character.
09:36They should not just sing for themselves.
09:39They should not sing the melody.
09:40They should go deep into the song.
09:42They can not play the character.
09:46So, I have learnt from my greatest directors and the music writers.
09:56Do you have a special song with your heart?
09:58All the songs, all the lines, all the words, all the short.
10:03And all the moments that I have passed through my surroundings
10:08with Sanju Baba, Ashir Varshi Ji, Raju Hirani Ji director and the boss, Vidhu Vinod Ji.
10:15Salute to him.
10:17And the recordist and that moment.
10:19I thank you very much for having me so much confidence that in the past 20-25 years,
10:29I have never heard of any singer's voice for the character.
10:32I have never heard of any singer's voice for the character.
10:34I have never heard of any singer's voice, but Vidhu Vinod Ji announced that Vinod Raatwood is the voice for Munna Bhai.
10:43Whenever we make Munna Bhai, Vinod Ji has to be there because that is the voice voice for Sanju Dhan.
10:49I have never heard of any singer in Sanju Dhan.
10:52But when Munna Bhai comes, it is me because that is the way I got response.
10:57And that is the way we proved that every single song has been a picnic for three or four days.
11:08And I felt like that the first day was made, the second day was written, the third day was recorded.
11:14In the fourth day, I was going to the mic. So, I was pretty sure what I am doing and how I am doing.
11:20You are getting my point.
11:21So, this is very important.
11:23When Munna Bhai was a lawyer or a doctor, he wanted to be a doctor, but he is not a doctor.
11:32He is a gunda.
11:33Typical, he is a brother.
11:35So, there are some words and the classic music and words of Anumali Ji.
11:39When people do it, they have a lot of surety to sing.
11:42Okay, I am sure what I am singing.
11:45And say it.
11:46But there is a song, that is a character.
11:50But when Munna Bhai became a woman, there was a lot of tension.
11:56Shantanu, the director, who was a director, said,
11:58that let us all see.
11:59Because the first of the title of Munna Bhai was a super-duper-hit.
12:02She had a very hit at the same time.
12:03So, he said, what should we do.
12:04He made a very nice and simple song.
12:07So, tell us, say, how might it be?
12:09Like when a child sings a poem in second or third standard
12:13He was thinking that he is like a professor
12:16He is acting like a professor
12:17I can teach him and he can teach him
12:19So we had to teach him more cheaply
12:21He didn't teach him much
12:23He was a little subdued
12:25So we had to teach him the beginning
12:27Just to match with Munna Bhai's character
12:30Sanjay Dutt's character
12:32So you would think that this is Vinod Archer's song
12:36Today people think that Sanjay Dutt has sung
12:38Say then say then
12:40Say then, how will it be?
12:41Say then, how will it be?
12:45Say then, what will it be?
12:45Say now, how will it be?
12:48Sanjay Dutt's character
12:49That is his style
12:50This is an attitude in the singing
12:52I am not changing my throat
12:53I am not changing my voice quality
12:55If you ask him as he asks
12:57This is an attitude
12:59Sanjay Dutt's character is making a song
13:02You are very good
13:04So, I would like to listen to their songs from your mouth.
13:08I would like to listen to Kishorda's favorite songs that I've been singing at my college.
13:34I would like to listen to Kishorda's favorite songs that I've been singing at my college.
14:04I would like to listen to Kishorda's favorite songs.
