lata mangeshkar

In the 1960s and 1970s Bollywood composers adventurously adopted the trippy guitars, spiralling synthesizers and ethereal vocals of psychedelia and mixed it with lusciously over-the-top Indian orchestrations. Jewels included feature songs by Asha Bhosle, Lata Mangeshkar, Usha Iyer and yodeller Kishore Kumar.

The Rough Guide To Psychedelic Bollywood

Inherently conservative yet beholden to commercial imperatives, the Indian film industry has provided a precious ongoing narrative to the swiftly changing socio-cultural landscape since Independence. Few issues have caused such concern, excitement and debate as the incursion of so-called Western values, yet this Rough Guide shows Bollywood composers at their most playfully engaged, experimenting with radical new ideas, freely adopting myriad ‘outside’ influences and often creating an extraordinary, irresistible psychedelic mish-mash.

Influenced by the Western rock and the intertwined hippy movement, as the sixties rolled on the underground Indian psychedelic scene mushroomed, inspiring composers like R.D. Burman to work far-out music into their blockbuster soundtracks. Evidently the Western psychedelic movement owed much to Indian inspiration and the relationship was mutual: the sounds and styles of the swinging sixties trickled back to Indian shores and went on to manifest themselves, first in the underground scene and then Bollywood.

One of the very first examples of a psychedelic element on the big screen was seen in the classic Hare Rama Hare Krishna. In this film, a young woman runs away and joins a hippy commune where she puffs with pleasure on an oversized chillum and dances loosely to the hypnotic music. ‘Dum Maro Dum’, the famous track from this scene is sung by renowned playback singer Asha Bhosle.

The Virji Shah brothers make up the composer duo known as Kalyanji Anandji. Together they composed several seminal Bollywood hits and openly acknowledged the influence of James Brown and psychedelia on their musical brand; two of their wackiest instrumentals show their worth as standalone compositions here. Other jewels included feature Lata Mangeshkar, Usha Iyer and yodeller Kishore Kumar, all Bollywood megastars whose vocals are taken into another dimension. The full length bonus disc is a compilation of works by the inimitable R.D. Burman.

Delve deep into the time-warp and lose yourself in the heady world of psychedelic Bollywood.

Aye Dil e Nadaan- Lata Mangeshkar

Ajeeb daastaan hai yeh 
Kahan shuru kahan khatam 
Yeh manzile hai kaunsi 
Na voh samajh sake na hum) 

Strange story it is
Where it started and where it ended
What kind of destiny is this 
Neither he understood nor me

(Yeh roshni ke saath kyoon 
Dhuaan utha chiraag se) 
Yeh khwaab dekhti hoon main 
Ke jag padi hoon khwaab se 

Why did the smoke raise
With the light
I keep dreaming
And now I awaken from my dreams

(Mubaarakein tumhe ke tum 
Kisi ke noor ho gaye)
Kisi ke itne paas ho 
Ke sab se door ho gaye 

Congratulations to u
That u became someone`s love
U are so close to me yet
u became distanced from all

(Kisi ka pyaar leke tum 
Naya jahan basaaoge) 
Yeh shaam jab bhi aayegi 
Tum humko yaad aaoge 

Taking someone love u will
Will create a new life
Whenever this nite comes
I will think of u
