Mehbooba-Sholay- R.D Burman, the fire that still burns after 34 years!

Mehbooba-Sholay- R.D Burman... Lyrics & Chords

Saw this film when I was a kid in Bharuch, Gujarat. It left a indelible mark that will never go away. The film was just awesome in all respects. Sholay still ignites passion in every one, be the action, the drama, the music. It was a masterpiece in every aspect. And this song still can make today’s generation go crazy though it is 34 years old. Such were R.D.B’s creations! They have stood the test of time. This song will forever be immortal in his unique voice! A humble tribute to the towering genius of R.D.B lovingly called Pancham Da! This is just blind admiration to one of my all time favorites. So excuse me if I have gone overboard in any way!

Song: Mehbooba
Film: Sholay
Music: R.D Burman
Original Singer: R.D Burman
Lyrics: Anand Bakshi

(have added some extra effect in the form of a horse neigh in the 1st B.G.M :) have always awed the terrific suspenseful atmosphere that this song created in the cinema hall.)

Pradip dear Wow!! Wow!! Just logged in a few mints back and too good to listen this wonderful song….bringing back the memories of SHOLAY again.

Hey! it was the heart throbbing number and used to love it lot.Your voice is really sounding so different in this. It is very tough to sing this number. Very happy to listen to this song.

I loved your rendition…. Pradip too good dear.The humming in the beginning added the flavor. All 10/5 from me and goes to my fav’.

Thanks for singing one of the most memorable melodies.

MUSIC is the language of the soul!

Pradeepji,

Fantastic job. Rendering is just like RDB. You have done a real good modulation. Also the mixing is pretty good.

awesome Pradip as usual….the extra effects were just awesome!This is the fifth Voice of you I have heard….Thanks you.

A nicely camouflaged number by RDB from a song called say you love me that came in 70’s couple of years before Sholay came! But who cares,he was solely responsible for popularizing this number.

Regards,
Subbu.

This song was definitely ahead of its time. Pradip sir has done more than justice to every bit of the vocals.

Sir, I still remember you singing ‘jeeye to jiye’ and ‘country roads’ at the Chengannur Engineering College back in ’97. I was a freshman then.

Pradip Da!!!! wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooowwwww…….just mind blowing…… Pancham da’s voice imitation is the toughest….even tougher than clssical modulations…… Singing the whole just like the original is not at all easy…… This has to be one your best……. Fantabulous…… Goes to my fav.
Keep it up……

Brilliant Pradip. It was sounding like original. A great tribute to Pancham Da.

He is a great guitarist himself, which is evident in this song.

Also you are a good sound engineer. With your expertise knowledge, you really exploit it to the maximum possible.

Thanks for reminding this epic movie and bringing this Pancham da’s song….5/5
