The Pancham Influence in "Aaja Aanewale Aaja"

While "Aaja Aanewale Aaja" from Lootere(1993) was composed by Anand-Milind, it's undeniable that the song carries the distinct hallmarks of R.D.Burman's musical style. 

This is a testament to Pancham-da's enduring influence on Hindi film music, even after his passing.

Key Pancham Elements in the Song:

Orchestral Arrangements: The song's orchestral arrangements, particularly the use of the organ in the first interlude and the brass/strings combination in the second, echo Pancham's penchant for rich and varied instrumentation.

Rhythm Patterns: The rhythmic patterns throughout the song, including the conga/drums combination in the second interlude, are reminiscent of Pancham's signature style.

Melody and Composition: The overall melody and composition of the song bear a striking resemblance to Pancham's work. The song's structure, with its multiple interludes and varying tempos, is a common feature in Pancham's compositions.

The Post-3:54 Minute Crescendo: The climax of the song, from 3:54 minutes onwards, is a particularly noteworthy example of Pancham's influence. The crescendo, with its soaring melody and energetic rhythm, is a clear attempt by Anand-Milind to replicate the kind of musical climax that Pancham was so adept at creating.

Falling Short of Pancham Magic: While Anand-Milind's efforts are commendable, it's clear that they couldn't quite capture the unique magic that Pancham brought to his compositions. The absence of Pancham-da's visionary creativity, coupled with the talents of his collaborators like Basu, Manohari, and Maruti, is felt in the song.

Overall Enjoyment: Despite the limitations, "Aaja Aanewale Aaja" remains a delightful listen. The song's melodic appeal, rhythmic energy, and heavy percussion make it a worthy addition to the Hindi film music repertoire. It's a testament to the enduring influence of R.D. Burman and a reminder of the challenges faced by those who attempt to follow in his footsteps.

A Worthy Tribute: It serves as a fitting tribute to his enduring influence on Hindi film music. Anand-Milind's ability to capture the essence of Burman's style is evident in every aspect of the song, from its melody and orchestration to its emotional impact.

Enjoy Asha Bhosle's powerful vocals bring the song to life, making it a must-listen for fans of both Pancham Da and Hindi film music.

The pioneer of globalizing Hindi film music is Rahul Dev Burman (RD Burman). June 27 is the birthday of that 'Panchamada'. If he had lived, he would have reached 85 today. And it can be said with certainty that if Rahul Dev Varman were present today, he would have filled the entire world with a swoon of tunes in perfect harmony with the present generation. Because, it is no exaggeration to call Pancham the visionary of the Indian music industry! All the songs he has given since the seventies are way ahead of time. However, even though he is not present today, five songs composed by him saw the light of release on the occasion of his birthday.

He composed music for a Bengali film forty years ago. But in Kalachakra, those songs never saw the light of release. Asha Bhosle, Amit Kumar, Kavita Krishnamurthy, Kumar Shanu, Swapna Mukhopadhyay, Jojora (Nathalia) appeared with panchamanama today on his birthday. Four Bengali songs and one Hindi song were released under the title 'Panche Pancham'.

The songs can be heard on Fixbag Music's YouTube channel. This is a special move to make Pancham's birthday memorable. What songs can be heard there? The song 'Chokhe Kekhe' is sung by Kumar Shanu and Asha Bhosle in duet voice. Kavita Krishnamoorthy has sung the song 'Bhalobasa Bhalosha'. Asha sings 'Khelis Ken Didivai' in a solo. Amit Kumar and Swapna Mukhopadhyay sang 'Aami Tumi Dhonete'. And 'Tera Dil Mera Hua' Hindi song sung by Jojo."
