Kishore Kumar was a dynamic playful light-hearted energetic yodeler. While Rafi excelled at the classical singing, Kishore brought a new age, age of hope, a new India with his singing performances. Mostly he was paired with Amitabh Bachchan. AB brought the angry young man. This combination was deadly. Bachchan’s angry young man image along with Kishore’s dynamism and energy. They both went along well with each other on screen, because…. Both have baritone voice and both are bringing the imagination to new bright India, changing India, hopeful India. And here lies the difficulty. Typecasting.

Bappi lahiri thinks its going to be challenging to see how Bachchan can deliver a sad song, at the same time how Kishore can deliver a sad song. Nobody at the time of filming this song, imagined this level of performance. I still could understand the acting of Bachhan. But while I am hearing the top notch sad performance of Kishore, it brings me goosebumps everytime. Look at यू तो है हमदर्द भी और हमसफ़र भी है मेरा / क्या करे जोशो जुनू और होसला फिर क्या करे lines. How can somebody sing like this without classical formal classical training? Look at the depth, look at the heavy heart. Nobody can tell the singer is master of light hearted songs. Bappi Lahiri almost had tears of sadness while Kishore was recording this song.
