Lukka Chuppi-Rang De Basanti-Lata Mangeshkar-A.R Rahman (With Kuhoo Gupta)
Lukka Chuppi-Rang De Basant... Lyrics & Chords
Well I have roped in the Koel who sings kuhoo……kuhoo in muziboo for this song:)
Kuhoo’s parents might have known in advance that she was to have a voice as sweet as the Koel. Well when she accepted my request and sent me her file, I was really flat! A beautiful voice with clear diction, expression, and spot on pitching is what makes Kuhoo special! And she does remind you of Lataji in her younger days! I never had to correct the pitch or even EQ her voice at any place! It’s as she has sung, just with the reverb effect.We all have to learn from her dedication!
And what a composition by A.R Rahman sung with moving emotion and grace by the then 77 year old Lata Didi! She can still move mountains with her voice alone……This song has made me cry literally every time I hear it!
Prasoon Joshi’s words are simple but striking and A.R R has masterly sung the male portions himself with his distinctive rustic voice.
Song: Lukka Chuppi
Film: Rang De Basanti (2006)
Singers: Lata Mangeshkar and A.R Rahman
Music: A.R Rahman
Lyrics: Prasoon Joshi
Covered by: Kuhoo Gupta
& Pradip Somasundaran
And I request all those who do have a good fast Internet connection, to download and listen to this in 320 Kbps as 128 Kbps is not even half as good in quality as 320 Kbps. Listen to music in the best quality always :)

Kuhoo & Pradip Sir – The song made shivers run down my spine… as they say in hindi – “raungte khade ho gayein”…. i was speechless! It was FABULOUS! AWESOME! Brilliantly executed! Both of you just flew with the tune and sailed through to the shore so effortlessly.
Kuhoo – You sound sooo much like Lata Ji at some places. You are a nightingale, Kuhoo… You actually are!
Pradip Sir – What to say…. executing a Rahman song at that pitch, with such precision… only You can do it. Hats Off to you!
This song is by far the best ever cover version of Any song I have ever heard.
Thank you so very much for such a pleasure and treat to the ears. Hearing you both just made me realize that I know nothing of music. :)
Thanks again! And BRILLIANT Job!
Just for the sake of it, I did rate it a 5/5 and marked it as my favorite, though I definitely feel this song is above all ratings and favorites. Seriously!
Regards,
Bodhi

It is a superb song shows the emotions of mom-son relationship. The beauty of this song lies in its lyrics, so powerful that it will churn every soul.
Excellent singing, perfect in all aspects by you and kuho.
Pradip my dearest – Thank you so much for selecting the song as it has lot of classical touch.
Ethni khamoshiyo me ek ada itni pyari lagi
Aapki dosti hame zyadha nyari lagi
Ye na tute kahi yahi dua sadhaa rahega meri
Kyonki duniya mein ye isse cheez jo ham khah sake hamari
Ye dil jo hai hamari chandni se bhi pyari
Aap duniya ko bhulate aap ke geet se
Tarazthi hai ye nayan is roshini ke liye
Udhas hothi ye dil is roshan se milne ke liye
Fidha ho gaye hum aap ke sangeeth se
AAp hamare liye sadha rahenge sabse pyare
Thanks a lot for sharing.
MUSIC is the language of the soul!

Absolutely wonderful rendition Pradipettan and Kuhoo!
Kuhoo: Pradipettan is right about your voice and pitching. :-) You have rendered your part with such ease and perfection. Wonderful job!
Pradipettan: most of the singers who sing ARR vocal portions tend to imitate his voice but here, as you usually do, you have put your own signature in this song. And I believe it wouldn’t be too much to say that had you sung the male portion in the original this would have had a totally different dimension. Those high pitched portions you have sung, at 04:35 onwards, I literally got goosebumps!! I truly wish from the heart that ARR uses your voice in one of his beautiful songs such as this.
Standing ovation to both of you!

Subbu said
This is a beautiful pick and WOW what an effort to execute to perfection…….
1.The guitaring in this song is awesome and moves me even today(as much as roobaroo)…in that sense one of the very few Indian songs where rhythm guitar has carried the song for most parts,before the tabla kicks in.
2.Awesome singing by seasoned players and very very enjoyable……Personally would have preferred Kuhoo sounding her self rather than Lata.Well but then it is just my view.
3.The track is as good as the original…….whether it was re produced or vocal removed it was just phenomenal.
4.The mixing was superb except that guitar panning during the interludes,instrumental portions,which was mildly distracting.
Over all today has been a great day for us here in Muziboo to have been party to two great covers by stalwarts(First one being CC’S Krishna)…….5/5
Regards,
Subbu.

Pradipetta and Kuhoo
Spellbound by this amazing performacne! You are right about this song bringing tears each time it is listened too. To execute it to this degree of perfection is a feat possible only by people like yourselves who give music your everything.
Kuhoo
I liked your rendition better than Lataji’s in terms of note perfection (without the tremble in Lataji’s voice in this song). But I felt that the feel could have been better. Since it is about a mother singing with her son, the feeling of motherly affection I somehow did not get in your rendition. Just my opinion! But the notes were so perfect and all harkats so enjoyably done.
Pradipetta
Enjoyed the swaras at the very end (5:50 onwards)-your own I guess….lilting! :)
Sambhu Sankar said
Any word to comment would just not be enough. I first thought you have put the original song in here. Only after I noticed the male voice to be different than A.R.R that I went back and read your description. OMG! Kuhoo sounds just like Lataji. No one’d believe it if you hadn’t sung along with her. By all this I’m least discrediting your talent. To be frank, just that I was a bit overwhelmed by Kuhoo’s voice!
Rinu Srinivasan said

A perfect rendition with the highest degree of commitment and the fullest of dedication with proper usage of talent articulated with the necessary expressions in notes would make a pantomime to scream out in joy. This has been substantiated by you both and this cover has transpired the same. Thanks for covering this. A Rendition with awesome ingredients and you both have brought it to life. A sublime cover and I could sense ur presence in every notes of the song u uttered. May God bless you both with long lives and to have a long musical journey.Thanks & Regards,

This was mezmerising. Kuhoo, you sounded exactly like Lata. I think Pradip put it best – "A beautiful voice with clear diction, expression, and spot on pitching ". That says it all :) Great work!
Pradip – Excellent work as always in reproducing the original feel. I’ve always wanted to tell you this, but was not sure if I should. I feel you are such a talented singer and are capable of bringing your own originality to songs. You can reproduce songs brilliantly. But I’d rather hear YOUR interpretation in some of these. And I dont mean this as a criticism. I hope you understand what I’m trying to say.
This goes to my favs!!

Thanks for picking this song and picking Kuhoo to render Lata’s portions. This was a treat to ears from start to finish. Kuhoo carried her parts so effortlessly. Excellent singing by you also, I especially likes the open throated singing in the high registers. Thank you both for treating us with this beautiful rendition.

Thank you so much friends for liking over cover and appreciating it.
I believe that perception of a song is not the same for every one who hears it. There are die hard Ashaji fans who would say that Lataji has never been creative or say in a laymans words added “extra masalas like sangathis” in her renditions. She and Yesudas are more of the Music Director’s obedient student types who never went beyond what the music director said. This shows in their live shows also. But this does not take away the truth that it’s the wholesome impact of what they produce, which is blemish less divine singing with voices which were perfect and has had a wide range with respect to the high’s and lows. In spite of that there are some songs and sangathis that are irreproducible by any other singer! They never used their capabilities beyond what was needed. If we would analyse their voices using DSP based equipments(has already been experimented and proved by experts) we would know the reason. They do not have to add any extra masala to create an impact. Their perfect voice is aided by correct pitching, depth, range, diction, throw, modulation and feel supported by years of rigorous sadhana. That’s why in spite of whatever many other singers do through adept firework display of the vocal chords, it’s always the Lata’s or the Rafi’s or the Kishore’s or the Yesudas’s and S.P.B’s who occupy the primal place in the heart of millions! A God given voice aided by simplicity is the key than complexity which ultimately dawns on maturity and years of experience. One has to work with the likes of Illayaraja to know what I mean. He never allows the singer to even try simple variations to his compositions during recording or on the stage (when he is around). Most of the Music Directors from the old school were so. Maybe that’s why these greats were molded this way. The Interpretation is the overall impact of differences in voice texture, style, delivery, technique, feel, diction, voice dynamics, modulations, experience, flow, and everything that a singer has got rather than a singular conscious effort to make it feel different. This can be subtle which would not be noticed by every one who hears (perception differs) or it can be evident by display of vocal chord fireworks.
Age does play havoc with our vocal chords. I do not know how many of you would have noticed that Lataji who never sounded like Ashaji in her best days(they both had completely different voice textures)sounds like Ashaji at many places in this song. Especially where she goes to the higher notes! Lataji used to sing and speak in the same voice. I have never seen her using falsetto or compress her voice to reach the highs, in her best times. And there are singers who have always sung in falsettos even in their best times :) They are in for trouble when they age. Some small things to observe and think about! We also will reach that age soon!!!
And coming back to the original song, I did observe a glitch by the Guitar player in rhythm strum from 1.12 to 1.16 or are my ears failing me ? Do correct me if I am wrong!

Pradip Ji and Koyal (Kuhoo),
Let me congratulate first on attempting such a soulful composition and doing it so masterfully. As you suggested, I downloaded the 320 kbps and listened it in my noise-cancelling headphones with full volume. And let me tell you what did I hear,
You touched me both so much that I had tears in my eyes. I got goosebumps and was completely numb. I am so touched that I called up my mom to just be with her over the phone.
I wont say its a song, would say its a treat for the ears of your vocal prowess and unimaginable feelings poured into it.
You guys are the best singers on Muziboo. This is by far the greatest collaboration ever on this space. This site is honored to have such an upload.
I don’ think “MERI AUKAAT” hai to rate this one. So will put into my favs and will preserve it for sure into my collection.

Rahul

What to say – I have not heard such a cover in recent time…vocals and mix everyhting was superb….Raised the bars several notches as Rashmi said…….its getting more and more interesting the way in which musicians release music here…
Kuhoo – I dont have any words to appreciate your singing…such a perfect one, bang on pitch, nuances…everything…and the Maa feeling that you brought was just awesome.
Pradip sir – Simply superb….I dont need to say much…It was awesome…

Pradip Da very very correctly said about the falsetto…. I have never heard Lata Ji use Falsetto in my life…. N is there a need actually to thank all us for the appreciation??? :D
We are thankfull to you & Kuhoo ji for bringing this devine production to us…. This song is hovering over my head from yesterday from the point I heard it…. As I said earlier…. this is by far the best production in Muziboo…. At least the songs that I have heard….in about say 500 odd songs that I heard…. which is a great great achievement in its own…. Fully desrves the responce what its getting…. Only if I was the tycoon of the industry…. you two were surely to get break in a big production house…. :D

Hi Pradip,thanks for that wonderful detailed reply full of insights for aspiring singers.
I heard that portion 1:12 to 1:16 repeatedly……There is an issue,the strumming is not crisp as it is in other places……but not sure whether it is a strumming glitch or it drowned in the overall mix,,,it also sounds a tad bit off tune…….wud never have found this out w/o you pointing out sir…….So your ears are not failing you :) for sure!

Kitcha Swamy said
Pradipji, Superb writeup about the legends. I also have the same take. Legends are Legends for a reason. It was very inspiring to read it from a great singer like you. I’m a huge huge fan of Illayaraja, SPB, Yesudas, Lata and last but not the least, ARR. My complete lifetime has been spent hearing them in all stages of life. I was never trained in Music formally but these legends are the core reason that I’m here at Muziboo today. Keep us all young inspired music lovers with your valuable experiences in the industry and some good tips every now and then to correct amateur singers like me :)
I hope you won’t mind my opinion about the 2 most favorite composers, Illayaraja and A.R.Rahman
About IR
-———There are people who are born with the silver spoon. But this genius is born to create Music and is living his life dedicated to Music. What a personality he is. I cannot realize nor feel the power of God but when i see Illayaraja’s eyes and his sattire looks, makes me feel that he has got some divine in him. Looks are deceiving. Yes, who would have ever guessed seeing his village looks that he is going to be the musical encyclopedia.
Illayaraja in many ways have inspired me with his nerve catching songs. Tunes are the life to any song and his tunes are nothing but everlasting one’s. We are all simply gifted to have him score so many movies and songs that can never get out of our blood. Background score – He says the story in it. I think he was the first and foremost music director in India, who gave a very big importance to film scoring and ever since, every music director tried to follow his path and is till trying to make a mark. No one can even dream about coming close to Raja’s BGM’s.
I’ve seen him once talking in an interview where he said, Music is nothing but a medium to reach people, to say the feelings of people. It is full of life and it needs simplicity. I think he has definitely spoken what his music has done to the world. Music has to stay in the heart and Illayaraja would be the Music director who takes the credit to have people hear the songs of 80’s and 90’s, still. Of course, MSV sir is also a genius in his own ways but the orchestration that IR song has is uncomparable. With the fast paced world and full of technology, music creation has become easy but it has seriously become like passing clouds. We hardly hear the song after a month of the first hearing. That is the quality of music these days. But Illayaraja’s music is a miracle. His songs are like sculpture and the stamping is pretty hard to be taken out. LONG LIVE IR
About AR
-———If one can feel proud to be an Indian, Rahman can take some of the credit for that very feeling. The musical creation by MSV and Illayaraja are no doubt the most respected ones but were not able to reach a global audience. Life needs a change and so is Music. Rahman has taken Indian music international. That does not mean music to indians at international grounds but to millions of people totally originated from other nations too. What an achievement made and at what an age!!
I am so happy to cherish the first intro song that Rahman had given through film music and specifically through our ever popular TV program called Oliyum Oliyum. Chinna Chinna aasai came up on the screen and it created a feelng where you see a very beautiful looking girl :). The flute that was used to kick start the song was a never heard sound then. The crystal clear sound provoked everyone. People went crazy and became a die hard fan of Rahman in just weeks after that. Thereater, as they all say, it is History.
The things I love about AR is his theatrical sounding music. Of course there is technology involved but why is other’s music not sounding like that. Yes, the reason is just not that it is technology alone, but the underlying compositions and the musical arrangements that is always stunning. When I used to hear Western Music during my younger days, I wondered if our Indian music can make such an impact. After AR’s entry, it has all vanished. My wish is, AR has been colloborating with great musical minds from all over the world but I want him to for once collaborate with Illayaraja and create a tsunami in Music. I don’t know if that is feasible but I just hope. My true love for AR will be there forever. LONG LIVE AR.

kuhoo …I can see and feel your passion towards lathaji style of singing….you should have had an habbit of imagining/singing with lathaji singing always in your mind….your inspiration is totally in lathajis circle not just this song …i am watching all your renditions every word every nuances dot on kuhoo and the advantage of that inspiration shined through out in this rendition.
.
Pradip ji undoubtedly this is your skill showing song…… I felt this part at sariga……ga could have been slightly short…so that the throw in the ga would have came out bit more powerfully……and the reverb would have taken care of the rest of the length in that ga. pa ri is wonderfully sung with that chesty singing at 5:32
marvelous singing ….I can see muziboos renditions are gradually getting that quality those pros where dong for money…….passion always wins not money.
love you both for giving us a treat.

Keep it up both of you…

Very nice…
Nice voice and clean singing Kuhoo… you actually sound like Lata in a few places
and Pradip … Great voice and control… just excellent…
am not actually a big fan of ARR singing (except for his really good voice range on higher octaves).
Your voice and singing is 100 times better. :)

Kuhoo & Pradipetta!
Wat a lovely pick! Awesome singing by both of you… :)
Kuhoo – First of all I must admit the FACT that you are a fabulous singer with a very very very sweet voice!! I echo the exact same many of our friends here have already mentioned, you are a perfect professional singer! You have the caliber and the voice culture for the professional level of singing! Hope to see your name against some really good Bolly songs very soon!!! :) I wish for the same from the very bottom of my heart! God bless…
Pradipetta – What can I say about your singing?? I am spellbound! Singing ARR’s part of any song is not an easy task… And moreover, singing it in one’s own style without having any of the ARR style or influence is even tougher!! You have not only done both, but have also been successful in doing a better than the original!! I just loved it!! Not just saying it for the sake of it, but I mean it! Wonderful singing!
Loved this version more than the original to be perfectly honest! The ending was simply awesome! Lovely recording quality also!
KUDOS to both of you!!
Infinity/5 from me and anyday my fav! :)
All the very best!

Hats off!! Salutations!! Thanks for THE treat!

Venkat S said
Pradipji and Kuhoo,
This is sounding like original. What a performance! Such a difficult composition, you have done it effortlessly to near perfection. I think ARR and Lataji themselves would be proud of you.
If you have not yet watched the video of ARR and Lataji in studio for recording this song, please use the below URL :

ARR always surprise me by using simple instruments but giving great effect to the total song impact. This is one such songs. Sheer talent.
In this video you can notice that how well ARR adore Lataji.
Enjoy. Without saying it, your song goes to my fav. with 100 / 100.
cheers,
Venkat
Bala (composer/producer) said
A late realization for me…… some of the singers on Muziboo are so much talented and obviously better than many of the singers in the Indian music industry.
Pradip and Kuhoo, I wish you guys all the best for a break in the music industry. Honestly, I feel very fortunate to be a part of this community and interact with talented guys like you….

Pradip, The song was simply a treat for the ears and soul. Great job by both of you, considering the fact that the song is a difficult one. Also, let me appreciate your dedication for perfection-technically, on the recording and mixing, and on the singing. I liked your style of singing which had better clarity than ARR.
You deserve a five each.

Wonder,how I could not listen this earlier?
Simply superb singing by both of you, so perfect that it is beyond any scale of rating! 10 *s is less!!
Had I some influence on ARR,would have surely recommended to consider Kuhoo in next song whenever Lataji’s talents are needed !!
All the best. Waiting for more such duets.

Sushanth, Venkat, Priya, Balu, Rajeev, Rama, Azam, Khawer, Maruthi, NV Mani, Angela: Thank you so much for liking and commenting.
Ranjit: Seems someone is very unhappy at your observations:) Immediately after your comment though the number of ratings is still 49 the rating wemt down from 5 to 4.9 which means that some one who has already rated it 5/5 now became unhappy with what you said changed it to 1/5. God bless that soul:)
Proves how stupid this rating thing works! A single vote of 1/5 by some one deliberately can make your song vanish from the ratings! So Ranjit, let’s not give undue imp to these things…….lets carry on giving good music!!!

Pradip Etta,
I was at Guruvayur for a while. Hence couldn’t hear this song, even though I was eager to hear it. So today reached Bangalore and first thing heard this :).
Kuhoo has simply eased through the song as a female playback singer should with a lot of skill. Her talent is great.
Pradip Etta, You gave this song a new dimension. It was truly professional. I could sense the thirst in you to excel this song, as it had all the elements to showcase the true colour of someone who has practiced music for a long period. This song cannot be considered as a cover as it is better than the original.
Wish you all the best.

Corgon Corgon said
Well I will write only what I feel.
After I heard your version I thought that I did not realise that ARR sang that well. Then I realised that it was not ARR.
Lata suited more for that song because her voice sounds as old as the woman she was singing for. Kuhoo should sing song for younger people instead.
Sindhuja Bhakthavatsalam (no longer active on muziboo- pl visit me at http://octaves.blogspot.com) said
Great rendition.
Kuhoo, one thing I observed about your singing (not just in this song) is that you seem to have Carnatic inflections which kinda surprised me :) Not that its bad or anything, just a neutral observation- its quite unusual to find that in north Indians :) Yours is one of the few shrill, yet grounded voices with great breath control. You’re really gifted. Keep singing!
Pradipji: very nice handling of high registers.
Neat package!

“Pure Bliss” is all I can say about my feeling right now. I guess the credit for such a beautiful work of art should be divided equally among ARR, Pradip & Kuhoo. But, since mathematically, it is not possible, I would like to give 10% to Muziboo whithout which, I couldn’t have heard this cover.
I was so mesmerized that I didn’t notice how long the list of comments went. If I kept reading all those, I would have to spend a whole day. How do you both manage with all those comments & replies? Boy !!! It must be tough to be a great singer……!!!!

Vignan Sampara said
I just read Saran’s comments. I totally second him. If both of you dont hit the cinema industry soon, you are doing injustice to the larger population out there who wont have the pleasure of listening to your voice.
I guess this comment is more towards Kuhoo as Pradip has already entered Tollywood. I am feeling proud to be an Andhrite now. Kuhoo ! Please come into the movie industry !!!

kuhoo ji ki voice tho dil mein bas gayi hai….
but pradeep ji u r outstandin gifted singer….
i can openly say tat u were better than A.R.R
… ppl wud oppose me but sorry for them….
n i ve downloaded this song to ma mob …. thought i ve the original along with this but past few days i ve been only listenin to this…. :)love u both …. pls upload many more songs to steal the heart of ppl like me…. :)
Ravindranath said
i cant stop commentin again…. i can jus say i ve gone mad by this …. i was tryin to research on maself tat wat made me fall into this black hole ( song )? :P…… i got some results for maself….
1.kuhoo ji had tat worry a mother has on his child n requestin him to come bak in her voice as did lataji……
2.pradeep ji has tat enthuse in his voice to tell his mother wats goin around him n how beautiful things are …… n when he sings tat part (even though i m in such a beautiful world as in ur stories i m feelin lonely without u )he shifts the enthuse into pain in the voice wch A.R.R did not in the original…. tats y i liked this more than the original……
when eva i listen to this i go n hug ma mum ….
no exaggeration :) ….
love u both for makin me hug ma mum more n more …… :)
