Song: Agar sun le to ek nagma huzoor-e-yaar laaya hoon

Yeh woh awaaz hai jo kaano se hokar seedhe dil mein
utar jaati hai. Waqt ko rok kar insaan ko majboor kar
deti hai usey sunne ke liye. Yeh awaaz hasee to sabko
itna hansaya ki pet mein gubaar uthne lagte, aur jab
udaas hoti hai to sunnewalon ke zakhmon par malham
lagaa deti hai. Kisi udaas dil ko kisi ka kaandha
naheen mila to isi awaaz ne usey kaandha dekar uska
gham door kar diya. Zindegi ke har rangon se rangaa
yeh awaaz sirf aur sirf ek hi ho sakta hai - hamare
pyaare Kishore Kumar ki.

Song: Koi humdum na raha (Jhumroo)

Kisi ne naheen socha tha ki 4 August 1929 ko Madhya
Pradesh ke Khandwa mein janme Abhas Kumar Ganguly ek
din ban jayenge Kishore Kumar. Yun to Kishore Kumar ne
har kism ke geet gaaye hain, par aaj hum unke dard
bhare geeton se unko yaad karenge.

Song: Mere mehboob qayamat hogi (Mr X in Bombay)

Manna Dey speaks, "Bombay Talkies ki studio mein Ashok
Kumar ke saath woh aaya karte the. 15 16 saal ka
chanchal ek ladka, baat baat par gaana, poetry karna,
woh ek kudrati, God gifted artiste hain."

Song: Teri duniya se hoke majboor (Pavitra Paapi)

Song: Khushi do ghadi ki mile na mile

Pehle pehle sangeetkaar Kishore ko yeh kehkar mauka
naheen dete the ki unki awaaz mein woh baat naheen hai
jinki unhe talaash hai. Par Kishore ne aisa din laa
khadaa kiya jab bina Kishore ki awaaz ke kisi film ko
poora hi naheen samjhaa jaata tha.

Song: Kuch to log kahenge (Amar Prem)

Kishore Kumar ke naam se hi sab ke mukh par hansi aa
jaati hai. Film Mahal ke set par ek baar Kishore ne
Madhubala ko bhoot bankar buri tarah daraa diya. Is
baat se Ashok Kumar unpar behad naaraaz huye. Par
Kishore ne apni manmohak adaayon se dono ko manaa
liya. Hamesha muskuranewale is chehre ke peechhe ek
tanha dil bhi tha jo unke dard bhare geeton se chhalak
padta.

Song: Koi hota jisko apna (Mere Apne)

Yun to Khemchand Prakash ne Kishore Kumar ko pehli
baar film mein gaane ka mauka diya, par sahi maayne
mein Kishore Sachin Deb Burman ki khoj hain. Ek baar
yun huya ki Ashok Kumar se milne, Sachin Deb jaa
pahunche unke ghar. Kishore us waqt bathroom mein koi
gunguna rahe the. Burman dada ko unki saaf awaaz
pasand aayi aur kahaa ki agar yeh awaaz K L Saigal ko
alag kar de to yeh awaaz kamaal kar sakti hai.

Song: Dil aaj shayar hai (Gambler)

Rahul Deb Burman ke saath Kishore ne film sangeet ko
ek naya mod diya, aur in dono ne humein anek
sadaabahaar gaane diye.

Song: Nadiya se darya (Namak Haraam)

Asha speaks, "Kishoreda recording studio mein itna
hansate the ki hanste hanste galaa kharaab ho jaata
tha. Main unse kehti, Kishoreda, aur mat hansaiye
nahin to recording cancel karna padega.

Sattar ke dashak mein Kishore Kumar ne bahut hi surile
aur hit gaane gaaye hain.

Song: Mere naseeb mein aye dost (Do Raste)

Kishore Dev Anand ke chahete to the hi, film Aradhana
mein gaane gaakar unhone Rajesh Khanna ko film duniya
mein sthaapit kar diya.

Song: Roop tera mastana (Aradhana)

Agar hum kahen ki Amitabh Bachchan ko superstar
banaane ke peechhe Kishore Kumar ka bhi kuch hadh tak
yogdaan hai, to galat naheen hoga.

Song: Manzilen apni jagah hai (Sharabi)

Song: Beqaraar dil tu gaayeja (Door Ka Rahi)

Kishore Kumar ek mahaan gayak to the hi, woh ek
achchhe abhineta, lekhak, nirdeshak aur sangeetkaar
bhi the. Satyajit Ray ki film Pather Panchali se
prabhaavit hokar usi andaaz mein Kishore Door Gagan Ki
Chhaon Mein bana daale.

Song: Koi lauta de mere (DGKCM)

Gudgudaanewale Kishore ne jab sanjide filmon ki
nirmaan kee to aam janta unhe pachaa naheen paaye, aur
yeh filmen chali naheen. Aur unka yeh dard jab unke
geeton se baahar phoot padaa to logon ne unhe palkon
par bitha liya.

Song: Zindegi ka safar mein (Aap Ki Kasam)

Yeh waaqai chauka denewali baat hai ki Kishore ne
kabhi sangeet ki formal training naheen lee. Woh kaha
karte the ki sangewet to lahoo mein hoti hai.

Song: Zindegi ka safar (Safar)

Abhijeet speaks about Kishore's songs with "chhand".

Song: Jeeva se bhari teri ankhen (Safar)

Apni nirmit filmon ke na chalne se Kishore ko kaafi
maali nuksaan uthana padaa. Unke paas income tax
bharne ke 25000 rupay tak naheen the. Tab Ashok Kumar
ne unhe sujhaav diya stage shows karne ka.

Hemant Kumar speaks about how he took Kishore to
Kolkata in Rabindra Sarovar stadium to sing for a
stage show and how he captured the hearts of the
thousands present there.

Song: Chalte chalte mere yeh geet (Chalte Chalte)

Kishore Kumar bina mehnatana liye recording studio
mein naheen jaate the. Peshgee lenewale Kishore ne na
jaane kitne parivaaron ki aarthik madad kee hai.

Usha Khanna recalls how Kishore agreed humbly to sing
for her after knowing that the producer had budget
constraints.

Song: Zindegi pyar ka geet (Sautan)

Bappi Lahiri speaks about how Kishore had inspired him
to become a playback singer. "Woh to mere mama hain,
unke baare mein main aur kya bataaoon"

Amin Sayani speaks about his meeting Kishore when
Ruma's cousin who was his classmate took him to their
house. Amin Sayani considers Kishore as "vividhta ke
prateek".

Song: O maajhi re (Khushboo)

Sulaxana Pandit recalls the masti that they used to do
during the stage shows. "Badaa maza aata tha,
Kishoreda kabhi uchhalte, kabhi shor machaate, aur
kabhi bilkul serious ho jaate the"

Song: Musafir hoon yaaron (Parichay)

Apni chhoti si zindegi mein Kishore ne bahut rang
dekhe. Apni maa ki maut se woh bilkul toot chuke the.
Unki maansik sthiti bilkul bachchon jaisi ho gayi
thee, aur we ghanton tak gudde-gudiyon se khela karte
the.

Doston, zindegi jab daaman chhudaane lage, palken jab
apna parda giraane lage, to kya bachta hai phir jeene
ko?

13 October 1987. Ashok Kumar ke janmdin par Anup Kumar
ke saath milkar Kishore unhe ek surprise dena chaahte
the jiske liye we shaam 5:30 ko milnewale the. Par yeh
ho na sakaa, aur samay ne hi saari duniya ko stabdh
kar diya. Niyati apne dastaawez par Kishore ka naam
likhkar chalaa gaya, aur woh madhosh karnewali awaaz
hamesha ke liye khamosh ho gaya.

Song: Rehguzar mein kai manzilen bhi mili

Zindegi ki zarooraton mein Kishore Kumar ki awaaz bhi
aisi ek zaroorat ban gayi hai ki yeh aabhaas hi naheen
hota ki we humse bahut door jaa chuke hain. Vividh
Bharati ki or se unki punyatithi par unhe haardik
shraddhanjali.
