Razia Sultan is also less interested in presenting complex characters. Razia Sultan, kind of like a typical South Asian soap drags out its plotlines to no end and spends so much time on reaction shots of people's faces that I just couldn't muster enough patience to watch. The difference between The Magnificent Century and Razia Sultan is this - in the Magnificent Century the intrigue was was far more interesting and there was more going on. I couldn't finish The Magnificent Century because somehow the whole show was not on Netflix, but if it becomes available, I would definitely complete it. There is also the Turkish soap The Magnificent Century about a ruler of the Ottoman Empire, which is a closer example to this particular show. For example, I was able to go through several seasons of Downton Abbey before it got too much (although Downton Abbey really did try to hide its soapy melodrama for a long time and then just couldn't anymore). Normally, I don't like those, but sometimes, the historical context can make up for the melodrama.
First of all, let there be no pretenses: this is a melodramatic soap.
YOUTUBE RAZIA SULTAN SONGS MOVIE
Such moments of creative ecstasy come only once in a while in the life of a nation.Not sure if it's fair to review given that I didn't even make it past 10 episodes.but I will review it anyway to say this has such a great premise, why isn't there a better show or movie about this historical figure? I will explain why I couldn't get through this show. There will always be great exponents of classical Hindustani/Carnatic music but there may never be ones like Khayyam who could blend the two into a seamless harmony. Khayyam’s passing away will create a void in Hindi film music traditions that may never be filled. Kabhi Kabhie Mere Dil Mein Khayal Aata Hai (Kabhi Kabhie)Īlso read: What clash? John Abraham reveals what Akshay Kumar texted him after Batla House success His compositions will always be remembered for being soulful, melodious and emotional. In his lifetime, he used the works of poets such as Mirza Ghalib, Daagh, Wali Saheb, Ali Sardar Jafri, Majrooh Sultanpuri, Sahir Ludhianvi, and the new ones such as Naqsh Lyallpuri, Nida Fazli, Jan Nisar Akhtar among others. No wonder these songs have survived the test of time. One of his lasting legacies will always be the fact that he gave great importance to poetry. Generations from the ’50s and ’60s will fondly remember songs such as Woh Subah Kabhi Toh Aayegi, sung in hopeful pathos by Mukesh and Lata Mangeshkar. Khayyam composed many hit songs in the 1950s too but his output was best in the 70s. Woh Subah Kabhi Toh Aayegi (Phir Subah Hogi) Hazaar Rahein Mud Ke Dekhi (Thodisi Bewafaii) Khayyam formed a formidable team with lyricist Sahir Ludhianvi.ĭikhayii Diye Yun Ke Bekhud Kii Yaad Hamein (Bazaar ) In this era, he composed some of the most haunting melodies for films like Kabhi Kabhie, Bazaar, Trishul, Thodisi Bewafaii, Razia Sultan, Noorie among others. The talented music composer who debuted as part of a musical duo called Sharmaji Varmaji in 1948, is best remembered for his melodies in 70s and 80s. In that era, when RD Burman (in combination with Anand Bakshi and Gulzar) ruled the roost, Khayyam formed a musical parallel. All these songs from 1970s and 1980s are a gift to us and have been composed by Khayyam. You may have heard Mukesh’s soulful voice sing the title track from Kabhi Kabhi and recalled your college sweetheart. Or perhaps, sitting by yourself on a lazy Sunday afternoon, listening to Jaaneman Tum Kamaal Karte Ho (Trishul), you too have smiled picturing the banter between lovers. It is quite possible that listening to Aye Dil-e-Naadan from Razia Sultan (with Hema Malini playing the legendary queen of the Delhi Sultanate) that you felt it reflected your own conflicting emotions. On your way back from office, a late night FM channel may have played Hazaar Rahen Jo Mud Ke Dekhin, sung feelingly by late Kishore Kumar and Lata Mangeshkar (Thodisi Bewafaii) and felt a lump in your throat. Whatever age you are, chances are you must have heard the lilting melody of Umrao Jaan, songs sung by Asha Bhosle and, perhaps, actor Rekha’s best work. With his death, Indian film industry, particularly Bollywood, lost the last of its remaining popular music directors, who were steeped in classical music traditions. Mohammad Zahur Khayyam, better known as Khayyam, passed away on Monday, aged 92.
