‘Huzoor is kadar bhi na—‘ - An attempt at a male duet!
One seldom gets to hear male duets in Hindi songs. I find them very interesting because they bring out the contrast in the two singers’ voices and styles. One of my favourite male duets is from Masoom (1983) (Shekar Kapoor’s best effort, IMO), which had two of our finest male playbacks of 70s and 80s – Bhupinder and Suresh Wadhkar singing together this mischievous light-hearted Ghazal. I have made an attempt to replace both their voices with mine! Do-se bhale ek?!
Now don’t let my rendering put you off from enjoying this delightful song sequence which has Naseeruddin Shah and Saeed Jaffrey freaking out with song and dance after a peg or two! (Well, I didn’t have to resort to such ‘support’ for singing this song because my voice is naturally inebriated!)
The lyrics are by the inimitable Gulzar and music by irresistible R.D.Burman.
