Yet all piano songs in Hindi
movies are not all about song and dance. Have you heard the legend of the
Pianoman in Hindi movies? For him the piano is not a musical instrument but a
veritable post, a picket hoisted on a higher ground from which he fires
bazookas of betrayal ridden angst, he launches salvos of sarcasm one after the
other. BOOM BOOM BOOM, they emerge from his piano and could injure the most
thick skinned of people.
The pianoman is a legend for he is backed
with the conviction of his belief, of being wronged by people, often close
friends and lovers. Music is his weapon and words his nemesis. Watch out guys,
I bring you some immortal pianoman songs. Not for the faint hearted, I warn
you. Some of them of course have been parodied to death, as this one. But hey
listen, the original is still as moving and lethal as ever!!!
Immortal Mukesh song
written by Hasrat Jaipuri, put to music by Shankar Jaikishan and executed pretty convincingly by the sly-eyed Raj Kapoor, the intense Rajendra Kumar and the doe eyed damsel in distress, Vyjayanthimala.
