00:00So hello Shaan sir, welcome to INS and first of all congratulations for the concert
00:04Thank you so much
00:05that's about to come up 19th of September, a homage to the legendary Kishore Kumar sir
00:10I want to start off by asking that you know you have a monumental career behind you
00:15still a favorite of an entire generation, the upcoming generation as well
00:20as a singer, as a musician, your philosophy how has it been shaped by the great legendary Kishore Kumar
00:26Most of it has been shaped by the legendary Kishore Kumar sir because he was listening to his songs on the radio
00:32and that was a time in the mid, late 70s when almost every song, every film
00:39you know every time the radio is on you hear Kishore Kumar's voice
00:42in fact even today you know you hear a lot of his voice
00:46but that was a time when I loved him with his voice
00:50so whenever he was listening to his voice, he would stop, I would stop
00:53you know since then not that I wanted to be a singer
00:58but you know through his songs I got to know philosophy of life
01:02and you know inspirational songs
01:07you know in life is a movie, and you never die
01:10or this is a life, this is a life
01:13So the rules of my life, the rules of his songs, they were written by someone else
01:18someone else. But because he would sing them I thought you know he was saying these things.
01:22When I came to a point that I wanted to sing songs, clearly I thought that as they were
01:29approaching songs with songs, with a boy next door, I never thought about how many songs
01:35I could show as a singer, how many songs I could show as a singer.
01:41No one can say that with a head phone in the studio, there is a person singing.
01:49He thinks that if he is singing in the mountains, he is singing in the mountains.
01:52If someone is in the mountains, he is in the mountains.
01:55So that I kept in mind. That when I sing also, I should keep a visual in front of me and I should
02:00sing as if I am in that place. I should transport myself to the location of where the song is going
02:05to be picturized in the body of the actor who is going to be, you know, miming the song.
02:13So all these thoughts, ideas came from, from of course, Kishorda, Rafi sahab, all of them,
02:19you know, they are my gods of music. Mukesh ji.
02:22Of course, of course. And there's a lot of songs across the languages of India.
02:30But there's one song which I personally like. It's one of my favorite.
02:33As a singer, I would like to know you. As a consumer, I would like to know you.
02:37As a consumer, I would like to know you.
02:39If you could explain, for you, the nuances of your songs,
02:42when you were singing, what you have recode.
02:44You can listen to this song.
02:46My favorite song will be the song will be the song will be the song will be the song will be the song.
03:00Now, the song is very sad. The song is called The Soul Jalé.
03:04It's the song that someone's love has lost.
03:06My love will be the song will be the song.
03:11My love will be the song will be the song will be the song.
03:14Today the song will be the song will be the song.
03:19My love will be the song will be the song.
03:25He also does this.
03:27The composer also gets happy.
03:29He says, what a feeling, what a emotion.
03:31But no.
03:33He's saying that in the beginning,
03:35there's a pathos.
03:37My heart is your heart,
03:41I have come to you.
03:43Matter of fact.
03:45And he tells us what he's done with the picture.
03:47Of course.
03:49My heart is the end.
03:53This is wrong.
03:54So he knew just how much.
03:56Emotionally,
03:58you will feel real.
04:00And if you do it with it,
04:02it will be mimicry of the emotion.
04:06For example,
04:08I like you.
04:10You're a good guy.
04:12I like you.
04:14You're a good guy.
04:16So that is what I learned from Krishogar.
04:18Just the perfect balance.
04:20Live it. Just believe it.
04:22You don't have to convince anyone.
04:24Keep your feelings in your mind.
04:26And keep that feeling in your head.
04:28And keep that feeling in your head.
04:30And this is for the first time,
04:32you're dedicating an entire concert
04:34for an artist like Kishore Kumar.
04:36What is the set list?
04:38If I want to know you.
04:40It's a very long set list.
04:42There are songs on the 70s.
04:44There are only songs on the 70s.
04:46There are only songs on the 70s.
04:48There are only songs on the 70s.
04:50And he has to express through his songs
04:52a journey and an emotion.
04:54Of the individual who is sitting
04:56at the auditorium.
04:58There are some interactive things.
05:00Because I'm sure,
05:02all Kishore Dha fans are all the songs.
05:04So,
05:06if I do a humming
05:08then
05:09you should know
05:10that.
05:11But then we will do a competition
05:12about who knows.
05:13If I do a hum.
05:14How many songs on Kishore Dha's today
05:16are relevant.
05:17There is a section.
05:18So,
05:19there is a playlist.
05:20Of course,
05:21Dhamal's last 30 minutes
05:23are all his dance songs.
05:26Songs that he sung for himself.
05:28Like,
05:29There are many songs.
05:30Jhumru.
05:31Yudeling.
05:32So,
05:33it's a very interesting set list.
05:35Okay.
05:36And as a singer,
05:38you sing many songs in the studio.
05:42But,
05:43a thrill of live performing
05:44is something else
05:45from what I have understood
05:46from all the singers.
05:48Because,
05:49you interact with the crowd.
05:52You have to make
05:54minor tweaks and changes
05:55to perform.
05:56Of course.
05:57As a singer,
05:58personally,
05:59which medium
06:00do you like more?
06:01Is it the studio sessions
06:02or the live?
06:03Or is it different?
06:04Yes.
06:05No,
06:06it's the same.
06:07It's the same.
06:08It's the same.
06:09It's the same.
06:10It's the same.
06:11When you sing a song,
06:12it's a huge responsibility.
06:13If you sing the song,
06:14it's a huge responsibility.
06:15You sing it
06:16as if you sing it
06:17that it's a longevity.
06:19If people listen to the song,
06:2010, 15,
06:2120 years,
06:22then you sing it.
06:23So,
06:24it's a different challenge.
06:26It's a different experience.
06:28It's a different experience.
06:29And,
06:30of course,
06:31life singing is the same thing.
06:33you only get that one chance. You can't go back on what you're doing. And also connecting
06:40with your audience. We've done a lot of planning on this show. But I'm sure that when we go
06:46and perform, some of the things that people like, we'll extend a little bit. If we don't
06:54feel in the field, we'll cut a little bit. Because we have to connect with the audience.
07:00We cannot lose that connection even for a second. So life is a different challenge.
07:05But yes, especially a show like that, it's a curated show. Yes, go and see it. They'll
07:12put their songs on Google, there'll be lyrics in front of them. Sir, what do you want to
07:15listen to? Okay, let's go. They'll sing this song. It's all very well curated, well planned.
07:27After singing, which song will come, how the scale will come, what music will play.
07:32It's all planned to the T.
07:34Okay, okay. And while performing, you said that the song as a singer has a responsibility,
07:41because the song has a longevity. Today's music, especially 2020's, and if we compare
07:481990's, 2000's, or all old songs, our Hindu songs, Indian music. That longevity, we're
07:55living that out. There are a lot of songs that go for a long time. First, there were a lot of
08:00songs that go for a long time. Why is it because of the change and taste of the audience, or the
08:05technology, or something else behind it?
08:07No, there's no such thing. Look, as I said, I think all of these things, but what will
08:14happen with my thoughts? I've sung more than 3,000 songs. How many songs do you remember?
08:20How much of the longevity of it? 10%, 15% at the most. So that's how it is. I mean,
08:28kuch gaane filter out ho jayenge. Kuch gaane amoman buray hain, to us ka kya kare hain?
08:32O tab bhi bane thai, abhi bane, or aage bhi bane baale hain.
08:35Ab dousri baat, ye bhi hai, ki of course, jayse hum sab jantai hain, jab se phone a gaya hain,
08:40you know, public memory, public attention is very, very short. Aaj ek din me hum kitne sari
08:45cheeze kar liet hai. Us bich mein fursat mili hai. To we want to make the best of that.
08:50Abhi aadi ghande mein ek cd mil jati ti thai thai thai hum ches sat kaaneh mazeh se sun leeti thai.
08:57Abhi medium as a hain phoon pe aapke pas, you know, a billion songs, a million songs hain,
09:02a million songs hain. Across the world. Aadi ghande mein aap ek kyun, dho kyun,
09:06aap 10, 12, shahad 20 gaaneh sune loo, thoda-thoda karke, thoda-thoda karke.
09:11So which is why, jab ta ke gana aapke andar se ga nahin, aapke zahhn mein, aapke dil o dumaak mein,
09:17ho chahe ga nahin. Usse abo mookah nahin deenge. How will that song last?
09:23So earlier, loogon ke paas patience thi, vokht tha.
09:27Or ye saholet nahin thi, ke ek minute mein chare gaaneh sune loonga.
09:31Usse liye to ab show kar rahe hai. Kishorda khud aapne show karte teh teh,
09:35to itne gaaneh nahin karte teh. Na, kiunki eke gana araam se proper proper karte teh.
09:39Lekin ab mein ek gana, tine antre wala gana karunga, loog utke baathroom chle jayenge.
09:44So people have become restless and we have to, we have to go with that.
09:51Okay. And but ye chiz ko agar mein thoda dousere tereke se dhekho, it's very scary also for the medium of art itself ki publica attention kam.
09:58Nye, ki douseri baat ye bhi hai, ke aaj agar aapko ussi public ki attention ko apko pakadna hai,
10:05then you have to sensationalize something. You have to do something that will grab their attention immediately.
10:11Chahe woh beat se ho, chahe woh kuch aisi agi bato se ho. Ya phir joh ek trend chal raha hai.
10:18Ek zone joh trending mein hai, ussi zone mein aap woh gane ko đal do.
10:24Kya aapko pata hai ke yaar zahadha tar jo audience jayse aaj aga sad, dukhi, slow, love songs ka ek door chal raha hai.
10:33To humari audience alradi u zon mein hai.
10:36O alradi aise hai. To unko woh hi zone mein de do. To inertia ki zon mein ho chalta raha ga.
10:42These are just marketing toys. It's just that, you know, jab 2000 to 2010, jab hum music kar rahe thai koi sad song thai ni.
10:50Sad song he nahi tha. Aap nikalo. Aapko ihya da hai. Arba tere bin ho ashiki.
10:55That is also nineties. In fact, very early nineties. Nineties me pher bhi sad song bante te.
11:002000 sad song bane ni. Hero is, you know, yaa to Australia mein hai, US mein hai.
11:06It was a time. Yeah, yeah.
11:08Pher sad songs ka door. Sad to nahi lekin intense romantic.
11:12Humare romantik bhi anek busy hoti thai. Yeah.
11:14It was fun. Kuch to huwa hai. Kuch ho gaya hai. Kiro amesha aise hai.
11:19Aar Khan's always having fun. Saman Khan's always, you know, enjoying himself.
11:23To sarak ye films thai. So trend badalta hai. Tastes badalti hai.
11:29Lekin ushe sabse hai pher music hum saamne rakte hai.
11:32Aar aaj jo gaane ban rahe hai. Ek achchi baat hai. Lyrically, bich mein door aya tha.
11:37Khe lyrically bhot ajiwajeb cheize ho rye thi.
11:40But now, lyrically, you know, they are writing better songs.
11:42And songs that you can actually sit and aram se ap sun saktte ho.
11:47That is at least better.
11:49Lekin humare time pe aal se ek mix back tha.
11:51You know, you got a lot of dance music.
11:53Jo aaj kal bhot kam ban rahe hai.
11:55Bane pe ho bhi recreations ban rahe hai.
11:57You got a lot of fun romantic songs jo aaj kal nahi.
12:00Duet songs jo aaj kal nahi bante hai.
12:03To, yeah, there's always room for improvement, of course.
12:07And Kishwur Dha ke baare me ik baat hi kae jati.
12:10Amit sar nai bhi boli ye godhne.
12:12Ki he was very particular about the payment.
12:14Ek aese medium mein kaam karna.
12:16Nahe, I'll explain this to you.
12:18Corporate, jahan ek artist ko dabane ke kooshish karta hai.
12:21They want to cut corners to save cost or anything.
12:23Waha pe ek artist ka firmly khada ho na.
12:26Aapne liye, aapne kala ke liye.
12:28Ye aagyaoli generation kiyo kitna inspire karta hai aapke opinion.
12:32Dekhi, meri pita ji composer teh.
12:35Meri pita ji paaz ek bar message aya.
12:38Khabar aai.
12:39Kishwur Dha bode re, kya wana?

12:48Toh bula le, aaj aata ho.
12:51He took 3000 rupees.
12:53And he sang a bhojpuri song.
12:55Not one, two songs.
12:56For my father.
12:58So, an artist or any human being is an emotional person.
13:02Of course, you want to value your art.
13:04You know, ke when I know ke I'm being undervalued.
13:08To aap kao ke nahi yaar.
13:10Agar tum chahte ho ki Kishwur Kumar tumara liye gaane gaaye.
