govinda has two famous laila songs under his belt : main tera majnu , tu meri laila from his 1994 film aag and the superhit main laila laila chilaunga kurta phaad ke from the 1999 comedy anari no . 1 .
the film was a box office hit and is considered one of the best film adaptations of the classic sufi legend of laila and majnu .
laila is prominently featured , for obvious reasons , in harnam singh rawail’s 1976 adaptation of the laila - majnu legend , starring rishi kapoor and ranjeeta kaur . the film opens with the title track , laila majnu do badan ek jaan the , which lays down the premise of laila and qais as star - crossed lovers . later , a heartbroken qais ( kapoor ) wanders in the desert after being exiled , and pines for laila with the song likh kar tera naam zameen par ( “saayon ko liptaata hain aur laila laila karta hain” ) .
after the success of laila majnu , filmaker h . s . rawail started deedar e yaar .
that very year , kishore kumar once again made himself the woman’s majnu in hum to mohabbat karega ( “laila laila karega , thandi aahen bharega” ) in the film dilli ka thug .
thereafter , laila became a regular fixture in hindi film songs as either a part of the hookline or embedded somewhere in the lyrics : laila o meri laila ( mujhe insaaf chahiye , 1983 ) , laila mar gayi ( uttar dakshin , 1987 ) , laila ne kaha jo majnu se ( jungle love , 1990 ) , and jumma chumma ( hum , 1991 ) .
one of the earliest uses of laila in a hindi film song is in ss vasan’s satirical film mr sampat ( 1952 ) . the song , laila laila pukaroon , is staged as part of a theatre company’s show where the dancers enact the tale of laila - majnu . the next year saw the release of the third talkie adaptation of the laila - majnu legend in hindi , starring shammi kapoor and nutan in the titular roles . it was a box - office hit .
laila - majnu make a comeback not just in a song but as a part of the story in anil mehta’s aaja nachle ( 2007 ) . choreographer dia ( madhuri dixit ) returns to her hometown and stages a performance of the laila - majnu folk tale along with locals in order to prevent the destruction of her mentor’s dilapidated dance theatre . the song koi paththar se na maare mere diwaane ko from the rishi kapoor starrer laila majnu ( 1976 ) is recreated for the play in aaja nachle .
like all these pairs , laila and majnu too have had an indelible influence on hindi cinema and its music . their most recent appearance is in the song bandook meri laila from the sidharth malhotra - jacqueline fernandez starrer a gentleman . lyricist vayu compares laila to a gun ( “bandook meri laila” , “beretta ki beti” ) .
laila became a nationwide phenomenon in 1980 thanks to the hit number laila o laila from feroz khan’s crime thriller qurbani . this song , along with the biddu - produced aap jaisa koi from the same film , heralded the disco era of hindi film music . laila o laila is situated in a club where the singer sheela ( zeenat aman ) and her drummer ( amjad khan , actually an inspector in disguise ) lip - sync to the song sung by amit kumar and kanchan and composed by kalyanji - anandji . the lyrics ( “laila main laila , aisi hoon laila , har koi chahe mujhse milna akela . ” ) are by indeevar .
we don ' t have enough data to suggest any movies based on laila - majnu . you can help by rating movies you ' ve seen .
two years later , kapoor and neetu singh became majnu and laila to each other in a slapstick song sequence , o meri jaan thik se dekho in the film anjane mein . raja dons majnu’s garb and serves food at rani’s table ( “laila , o laila , kaha ho meri rani , arre main le ke aaya hoon tere liye mohabbat ki biryani . ” ) . rani , not amused , puts a bunch of bananas on raja’s head and goes , “arey majnu ke chele , kahi ja kar bech kele . ”
a month after josh ’s release , alisha chinai sang the forgettable laila in her non - film album om ( 2000 ) . the most definitive laila song of the 2000s is , however , the item number laila laila from the 2003 serial killer mystery samay : when time strikes , a rip - off of david fincher’s se7en ( 1995 ) .
laila majnu is a 1949 telugu historical film , based on the sufi legend of laila - majnu , produced and directed by p . s . ramakrishna rao on bharani pictures banner . starring akkineni nageswara rao , bhanumathi ramakrishna in the lead roles and music composed by c . r . subburaman . the film was simultaneously released in tamil with same title . [ 1 ] the film recorded as super hit at the box office . [ 1 ] s . d . sundharam wrote the dialogues and lyrics for the tamil version .
f . nagoor also made the adaptation of laila majnu for balaji pictures , with t . r . mahalingam and m . v . rajamma playing the lead roles in 1949 .
in 1957 , laila reappeared in main pyar ki laila hoon , a duet sung by sudha malhotra and manna dey , from the science - fiction film mr x , starring ashok kumar , inspired by hg wells’ novel the invisible man . the next year , in satyen bose’s hit comedy chalti ka naam gaadi , kishore kumar’s character manmohan serenades renu ( madhubala ) in the song paanch rupaiya baara aana with the lines “tere liye majnu ban sakta hoon , laila laila kar sakta hoon . ”
the next decade saw a serious hike in the number of laila songs . then a rising star in 2011 , yo yo honey singh , famously rapped , “main tera majnu , bann meri laila” in the hit track angreji beat from his breakthrough album international villager .
this edition made by bhanumathi was dubbed into tamil and released simultaneously with the telugu version . f . nagoor made another laila majnu in 1950 under the banner balaji pictures and shot at newtone studios with t . r . mahalingam and m . v . rajamma in the lead roles . the story was again made in 1953 , 1976 ( in hindi and bengali ) , and later in 1982 . [ 2 ]
taking the leap out of the classic folklore , the story is set in today ' s time in kashmir where laila majnu have problems relevant to the youth of today . while dealing with their feuding families a passionate love story unravels .
ranjeeta makes a convincing laila , despite being a bit heavy with her dialogue and she manages aided by effective makeup to provide a measure of pathos in her later scenes . rishi kapoor as majnu - kais is effective in serious moments but looks awkward during the song sequences . as the prince who marries laila , danny turns in a sympathetic performance .
( film : haqeeqat ; music : madan mohan ; lyric : kaifi azmi ) .
harnam singh rawail brings to us the story of the legendary lovers laila and majnu on celluloid . being born in rival clans ( amaris and sharwaris ) , their love wa forbidden by their families . the childhood lovers were seperated as their families feared having to unite . putting their love to the severemost tests , laila and majnu are never able to unite . so , they decide to free themselves of the bond of life , and die , for that is the only way their love can truimph .
in between came rajesh khanna’s hit thriller chhailla babu ( 1978 ) . in the opening track main babu chhailla , khanna goes , “aaj se ban gaya re main majnu , dekh ke tujhko laila” in a carriage with a coy zeenat aman by his side .
c . r . subburaman’s soul stirring music with ‘preme neramouna…’ ( rendered by bhanumathi ) the evergreen hit , ‘o priyathama… payanamaye priyathama nanu marachipokuma…’ ( rendered by ghantasala ) and the dance sequence featuring lalitha and padmini , contributed to the runaway success of laila majnu .
“laila majnu” scored with all those who believed in love , all those who were in love , all those who wanted to be in love . that was in the 70s . today , it will score with… . well , wasn’t love supposed to eternal , undying , unflagging ?

shah rukh khan got his laila moment with apun bola tu meri laila in josh ( 2000 ) . max ( khan ) , a local rowdy , tries to capture the attention of rosanne ( priya gill ) . his attempts mostly lead to failure , which forms the crux of the song which he sings to his friends in despair : “apun bola tu meri laila , woh boli fekta hai saala . ”
“laila majnu” offers within its 19 reel , lavish sets , glittering desert exteriors , an elaborate fantasy sequence , and gorgeous costumes . it all makes for an eye - catching pageant , except that the pageant often looks closer to being a comedy than a tragic tale of star - crossed lovers . for a tale of intense love and hate , director h . s . rawail’s film generally strikes incongruous notes .
note : 1 . all songs recorded in madan mohan ' s lifetime though the film was released later .
while laila has been a part of many songs in the past few years , two particularly successful ones have been laila teri le legi from the gangster film shootout at wadala ( 2013 ) and the recreated version of qurbani ’s hit number in the shah rukh khan starrer raees ( 2017 ) . both are item numbers , filmed in a dance bar - like setting where gangsters drop in to be entertained . both feature sunny leone as the eponymous laila dancing purposefully to make the name her own in the annals of hindi cinema .

laila majnu , an ancient epic of love , is an integral part of classic sufi literature . hashmet shah has told it , so has amir khusro . nizami ganjavi’s 12th century version in scintillating verse filled with allegorical flourishes has been translated into numerous languages . mian mohammad bakhsh’s interpretation of the epic is held as an acclaimed treatise in pakistan till this day . the tragic tale of majnoon and laila is said to have its foundations in true events that occurred in the 7th century .

kaish amari comes from a wealthy arab family . at the tender age of six he is sent to school and gets friendly with a young girl named laila .
tales of undying love travel , and how . what was once a local legend in persia in the ninth century spread far and wide , thanks to numerous poets , translations and folk art , until it became one of the most oft - used elements in the lyrics of hindi film songs . the lovers laila and qais ( who got the nickname “majnu” , meaning “mad” , for his antics after getting separated from laila ) , who could never live together or consummate their passion , became a symbol for tragic romance in the vein of romeo and juliet , khosrow and shirin , sassi and punnu , sohni and mahiwal , and mirza and sahiban .
laila kept making appearances throughout the decade in a number of hit songs such as gandi baat ( r . . . rajkumar , 2013 ) and matargashti ( tamasha , 2015 ) . the tamil hit mental manadhil from mani ratnam’s romantic drama o kadhal kanmani ( 2015 ) opens with the lines “like - a like my laila . ”

the lead pair had plenty of takers ; ranjeeta was not your typical hindi film beauty , curls , curves and fair skin . with her unconventional looks , she presented an indefinable extra . laila’s beauty , they say , lay in the eyes of the beholder . same was the case with director h . s . rawail’s heroine here . rishi had won over plenty of teeny - boppers with “bobby” . in the intervening period they had grown up a little and could appreciate the travails of majnu better . with long locks , fierce eyes and bruised body , rishi was aeons removed from the sugar - as - sweet debut performance . he was loved all the same . never mind he was not gaunt like majnu , he conveyed the spirit even if the flesh was not always there .
laila ( bhanumathi ramakrishna ) is the daughter of ameer sarvaar ( mukkamala ) , and khais ( akkineni nageswara rao ) , the son of ameer umri ( arani satyanarayana ) . love blossoms between laila and khais as they grow up . ameer sarvaar , unable to dissuade his daughter from seeing khais , shifts to mecca . khais follows her to mecca and roams in the streets uttering her name . people take him to be a mad person ( majnu ) and throw stones at him . the story takes a lot of twists and turns from here on . the king of iraq ( c . s . r ) , who comes on a visit to mecca , sees laila and decides to marry her . meanwhile , ameer umri pleads with his erstwhile friend sarvaar to save his son . sarvaar agrees to get his daughter married to khais if it is proved that he is not mad . a test is conducted and khais emerges successful . just when the marriage is to be performed , sarvaar receives a proposal from the king of iraq that he wishes to marry laila . sarvaar changes his mind , and performs his daughter’s marriage with the king . laila leaves for iraq and khais wanders aimlessly in the desert . the king already has a mistress zareena ( sriranjani jr ) . on coming to know of laila’s story , she tries to help her . soon thereafter , the prince to repents , calls laila his sister and sends her back to khais . the lovers are about to meet in the desert , but fate wills it otherwise and a heavy sandstorm takes its toll .

with his first film , rathnamala , turning a box - office hit , studio owner and director ramakrishna was on the look out for a suitable subject for bharani’s next venture . fascinated by the first hindi talkie version of laila majnu ( 1945 ) , which he had seen in bombay , he made the choice . his production chief d . l . narayana agreed with him . a projection of the hindi version was arranged for his actress - wife bhanumathi and akkineni nageswara rao , whom he had thought of for the protagonist’s role . samudrala raghavacharya was assigned the job of writing the script and the dialogue .
laila reappears in the arabic - flavoured aap se miliye from nasir hussain’s 1969 lost - and - found saga pyar ka mausam . seema ( asha parekh ) performs to the lata mangeshkar song ( “arre pyar ke sehraon mein firte hain ye bhage , oonth hai inke peeche laila koi aage . ” ) on stage along with her troupe members , as a besotted sunil ( shashi kapoor ) gazes at her with awe .

lovers , laila and majnu , face implacable opposition to their marriage . he ends up in exile , derided as a madman and living the life of a pauper in the desert whilst she finds herself unhappily married and living in a palace . not even evidence that their union has been divinely ordained can bring about a happy ending . but as
the love story ends . . . . . . . . . . . the love legend begins . . . . . . . . . .
note : 1 . this film was dedicated to the loving memory of madan mohan . 2 . three additional songs were recorded by music director jaidev after the sudden demise of madan mohan . 3 . * madanji sings as he composes the mukhda of this song . laila majnu was the first golden jubilee hit of madanji ' s career and the music was a rousing success , but madanji did not live to see this . 4 . * * madanji sings as he composes the various antras of this hit song , which went on to be the no 1 song of the year including on binaca geetmala . for many weeks , audiences showered the screen with coins during the screening of this song in theatres .
if the film fails to capture the intensity of love , it fails equally in projecting the hostility between the respective families of the lovers — the main cause behind the tragedy . the violent confrontations which should have been telling omens of the impending doom , are reduced to clowning by kais’s friends ( asrani , paintal , etc . ) . the last duel between kais and tabrez ( ranjeet ) , laila’s brother , borders on a caricature .
the year also saw the rage of laila majnu ( in which he sang all the songs of rising star rishi kapoor , too ) under the baton of madan mohan and jaidev ; and the third and second ranking in binacas finals that year were : meri mehbooba ( dharamveer ; laxmikant - pyarelal ) and pardah hai pardah ( amar akbar anthony ; laxmikant - pyarelal . ) in 1978 , lps apnapan got rafi a filmfare nomination though eventually the song landed up with a lyric award ( anand bakshi ) instead & apos ; aadmi musaafir hai .

the film’s arrival at the box office was preceded by a mad interest in its audio cassettes ; set - ups at the cinema halls usually just had a cut - out of majnu covered in sweat and blood . next to his bruised frame were written sahir’s lyrics and abrar alvi’s heart - piercing dialogues which drew heavily from persian - arab myths and traditions . at most places , the film had a long and remarkable run , necessitating a new round of hoardings to mark the silver jubilee . at others , where it had a limited engagement , it came back for a second round , then the third , each time cinegoers turned up in hundreds to soak in the travails of the love - birds .
trivia : madan mohan had recorded six songs for the movie and passed away during the making of the film . three songs were composed by jaidev . however , both were credited for all the songs .
laila’s recall value was further enhanced with sonu nigam using the name in the lyrics of his superhit song tu from his 1998 album kismat . the video featured nigam , one of the hottest indipop stars of the time , and bipasha basu , who was yet to make her bollywood debut .
undoubtedly , the most versatile male voice in hindi film music , rafi was first heard behind the screen in 1941 when he was hardly 15 , in the punjabi film , gul buloch , and in the same year he sang for his first hindi film , gaon ki gori , in bombay . his first break had been given by the late shyam sunder , but the song that made him famous was the jugnu duet ( 1947 ) , yahaan badla wafa ka , which he sang with noorjehan . soon , he drew notice to himself with ek dil ke tukde hazaar hue ( pyar ki jeet ) and main zindagi mein hardum rota hi raha hoon ( barsaat ) .
ah ! to be young and in love in the 70s ! the decade had many attractions for love - birds , each more intoxicating than the other . it opened with the epochal love story “heer - raanjha” where young men could not have enough of the ample charms of priya rajvansh or the peerless voice of mohammed rafi in “yeh duniya yeh mehfil mere kaam ki nahin” . then came raj kapoor’s “bobby” that introduced the fresh - as - dew dimple kapadia with rishi kapoor ; the boy teeming with baby fat . laxmikant - pyarelal’s a music score touched the pulse of the youth in a way that was yards ahead of madan mohan’s score in “heer - raanjha” . three years after “bobby” came the greatest love story of them all , “laila majnu” that once again presented rishi kapoor ; this time with ranjeeta , the girl who could have retired post this film yet be known to posterity .
the lovers’ first meeting in the market place promises a forceful depiction of the first stirring of love , but , the sequence peters out when you see kais ( rishi kapoor ) appearing and disappearing as if by magic . later , during his nocturnal visits into laila’s ( ranjeeta ) bedroom , he recites verses like one who was doing it without knowing the meaning of the lines .
so far so good , but “laila majnu” worked primarily for its songs and music . madan mohan gave music to most of the songs before the hand of fate snatched him away , leaving jaidev to take care of the unfinished task . sahir ludhianvi , then probably at the peak of his popularity – “kabhi kabhie” which propelled him to another level came around the same time – dished out lyrics that conveyed the angst of denial , the joy of the one madly in love , and the final inescapable surrender to the almighty . with songs like “tere dar pe aaya hun” , “hoke mayoos tere dar se” , “ab agar hum se” and “likh kar tera naam zameen par” sahir covered the spectrum from belief and faith to open defiance and blasphemy . the youngsters , not far from either of the two experiences , nodded in their approval .
since 1966 , the world of indian film music has been losing its stalwarts one by one though music has its own way of evading the sound of silence . with the death of the gentleman giant , mohammed rafi ( 55 ) , the field of playback singing has lost another voice . a series of shock deaths have dominated in 1980 and rafis departure came close on the heels of uttam kumars , a week earlier .
then of course was the small matter of mohammed rafi scaling newer heights ; the film helped him recover much of the ground he had lost to kishore kumar over the past few years . he was particularly memorably in the higher scales of songs “likh kar tera naam” and “ab agar humse” . lata mangeshkar gave him able support , but hers was essentially a supporting role in a music score that was clearly designed to present the best of rafi .
this was also the year which saw the advent of the prestigious filmfare awards and binaca geet mala , both being the most representative studies of trends ( the latter in music only ) . naushad bagged the very first filmfare award for best music ( baiju bawra ) and rafi was firmly established as no . 1 with his unforgettable man tarpat hari darshan ko aaj , tu ganga ki mauj and duniya ke rakhwaale , and the film headed the first binaca geet mala , too .
relating the ageless love story of layla and qais , the mad man – majnun in arabic translates to a mad man – the film’s message of love , eternal , undying , unflagging , struck a cord at the box office . the theme won over those who had read a bit of literature and knew a thing or two about the warring tribes of the arab world – apparently , the tribes would rather perish than give away their girl in marriage to a guy from the rival clan .
yet , bairaag ( 1974 ) reminded people that rafi was alive and with a lot of fight still left in him . after all , peetey peetey kabhi kabhi , / yoon jaam badal jaate hain ! and with lata again , rafi made sure there would be no close encounters of the 1963 - kind : vaada kar le saajna , ( haath ki safai ; 1975 ) . and finally , in 1977 , rafi proved once again that hum kissi se kum nahin . in the film , all four songs sung by rafi became superhits : the title qawaali , kya hua tera vaada ( which fetched him the filmfare award after a break of nine long years ) , chaand mera dil and yeh ladka haaye allah .
note : 1 . * madanji sings as he composes the third antra of this emotional song , the tune of which was different from the first two antras , and has some high portions , which he is creating in this rehearsal . madanji recorded this song in his lifetime , though the film released 2 years later . 2 . * * madanji sings as he composes the mukhda of this song . he had also rehearsed the song with all musicians and kishoreda , but died a few days before scheduled recording . the song was finally recorded a month later by his assistants . 3 . all other songs except song yeh pyar ka nasha were recorded by madanji in his lifetime . this song , like song 5 , was recorded by his assistants later .
over a career span of 25 years ( 1950 - 1975 ) , madan mohan composed music for 95 released hindi films and 12 shelved films . these 100 plus films featured almost 700 songs , many of which are remembered to this day while some have been lost over the years . he was extremely versatile , but he is best remembered for his ghazals , pathos - laden songs and classical based songs due to their immense popularity . his songs with lata mangeshkar in particular have become a part of indian film music history . note : for copyright reasons , we are unable to feature the entire songs . however , for a reference and reminder purpose a very short excerpt of each available song can be heard . some sources of the missing songs have been located and will be made available in due course .

since then , rafi has sung for nearly 30 years ; only once , for a brief period after 1969 ( aradhana ; rajesh khanna ; kishore kumar ) , being overshadowed by any other male singer though there were stiff competitors throughout . he is believed to have recorded a little less than 30 , 000 songs , his repertoire covering almost every musical range , every indian language , and every film actors lips . he won six filmfare awards , four of them being when there was no separate award for male and female playback singers ( which separation started in 1961 ) . he was awarded the padmashri in 1967 , and has been abroad for singing tours more than 25 times . he also had the singular honour of singing & apos ; and how ! & apos ; what is unanimously considered the finest lyric ever written in hindi films , neerajs caravaan guzar gaya , gubaar dekhte rahe ( nai umar ki nai fasal ; roshan ; 1964 ) .
this sunday will be 25 years since we lost the voice of mohd rafi . but lost , says who & apos ; by anil grover
but rafi took the music world by storm for the first time with naushads musical , baiju bawra ( 1953 ) , whose songs were picturised on the then favourite gayak - kavi - kalakar bharat bhooshan . naushad showed great confidence indeed in rafi to risk him for a classical - based big - budget musical although he was still cutting his musical teeth and talat mehmood was reigning supreme at that time .
if rafi believed that insaaf ka mandir hai yeh , / bhagwan ka ghar hai ( amar ; 1954 ) he still had to be a mite careful as he warned ai dil hai mushkil jeena yahaan , / zara hat ke zara bach ke , / yeh hai bambai meri jaan ( cid ; 1956 ) . but his laal laal gaal ( mr x ; 1957 ) and his champi , tel maalish ( pyasa ; 1957 ) made the growing legion of his fans tell him , yoon to humne laakh haseen dekhe hain , / tumsa nahin dekha ( tumsa nahin dekha ; 1958 ) and there was no possibility of this songbird fearing , chal ud ja re panchhi , / ab yeh desh hua begaana ( bhabhi ; 1958 ) . in fact , by now , his fans began muttering hum bekhudi mein tum ko pukaare chale gaye ( kala pani ; 1959 ) , and rafi entered the 60s yelling , ai mohabbat zindabad ( mughal - e - azam ; 1960 ) . the khoya khoya chaand ( kala bazar ; 1960 ) was overwhelmed by the chaudhvin ka chand ( title song ; 1960 ) .
till 1969 , it was rafi all the way in that decade , and in particular , 1962 saw the complete reign of rafi and / or lata in the binaca geet mala , except for a couple of songs by the perennial no . 2 , mukesh . sau saal pahele , / mujhe tum se pyaar tha , / aaj bhi hai aur kal bhi rahega ( jab pyar kisi se hota hai ) said his avid listeners , and even his critics were swept off their feet by the typhoon of yahoo ! ( junglee ) and they reluctantly admitted , ahsaan tera hoga mujh par ( junglee ) , for they , too , could now see that ab kya misaal doon ( aarti ) .
1963 saw a feud between lata mangeshkar and mohd rafi & apos ; but this was one time that lata could not obliterate a person once she boycotted him . dil todnewaale , / tujhe dil dhoondh raha hai ( son of india ; 1963 ) said rafi and although they both said , awaaz de ke , / humme tum bulaao ( professor ; 1963 ) , they stopped singing duets for about three years . it was suman kalyanpur who then rose to the top with rafis dil ek mandir hai ( title song ; 1963 ) despite the promise between the two , lata and rafi , jo vaada kiya woh nibhaana padega ( taj mahal ; 1963 ) .
maybe rafi felt inwardly depressed , kabhi na kabhi , / kahin na kahin , / koi na koi to aayega ( sharabi ; 1964 ) and might have secretly courted lata with tere husn ki kya taarif karoon ( leader ; 1964 ) and phir wohi dil laya hoon ( title song ; 1964 ) . he even revealed , yeh mera prem patra padh kar / ke tum naaraaz na ho na ( sangam ; 1964 ) but the two hit songs of that year remained separate solos by the two : mere mehboob tujhe , / meri mohabbat ki kasam ( title song ) and tum kamsin ho ( ayee milan ki bela ) .
nevertheless , rafi did not lose any hold on the mike and listeners continued telling him , taarif karoon kya uski , / jis ne tumhe banaya ( kashmir ki kali ) . but soon the patchup came . if rafi lamented , chaahunga main tujhe saanjh savere ( dosti ; 1965 ) it was now time to open up : dil jo na keh saka , / wohi raaz - e - dil , / kehne ki raat aayi ( bheegi raat ; 1966 ) . rafi had had enough ; kya se kya hogaya , / bewafa , tere pyar mein ( guide ; 1966 ) . and finally lata did return to him for those dulcet duets once again and rafi said : bahaaron phool barsaao , / mera mehboob aaya hai ( suraj ; 1966 ) !
meri awaaz suno , / pyaar ka raaz suno ( naunihal ; 1967 ) said rafi to his fans as if he was an aasmaan se aaya farishta ( an evening in paris ; 1968 ) and though he told them in return , tum bin jaoon kahaan ( pyar ka mausam ; 1969 ) little did he realise that for the first time he would lose ground to that very singer who sang that very number in a separate solo : kishore kumar . but then jab dil se dil takraata hai , / mat poochhiye kya ho jata hai ( sunghursh ; 1969 ) .
rafi desperately tried to convince people , main ek raaja hoon ( uphaar ; 1972 ) but except for a teri bindiya re ( abhimaan ; 1973 ) here , and a woh kya hai ( anuraag ; 1973 ) there , rafi was forced into the background . even his return with yaadon ki baraat ; 1974 ) was in the company of his self - avowed fan , kishore & apos ; yaadon ki baraat nikli hai aaj , / dil ke dwaare & apos ; the other being with asha bhosle , chura liya hai tumne jo dil ko .
and now look at 1979 - 80 ! just when rafi had made a complete comeback , hes gone ! laxmikant - pyarelal gave him all seven songs in sargam ( four solos , three duets with lata ) and walked away with the best music award , all seven being top of the pops . they gave him four out of six in suhaag ( the other two being ashas ) and they have been raging through the binaca geet mala . they gave him five out of six ( the other being lata ) in aasha and did well enough .
another indication of his sure return is the fact that dev anand who did not go in for rafi ever since gambler ( 1969 ) & apos ; in which , too , he had just one ghazal & apos ; returned to him after 10 years in the latest man pasand though in just one song , under the baton of rajesh roshan , with tina munim . the weekly binaca geet malas in 1980 have clearly shown so far that rafi is dominating , sometimes with as many as 10 songs as compared to kishores two ( on may 28 ) out of a total of 16 toppers !
as lata mangeshkar said after his death : the void that was created by saigals death had been filled by rafi saab . he sang with me for 33 years . he was an exceptional singer .

skudder said that the movie takes a wider approach — to make the series more accessible for new eyes — but with season five ,
we ' re probably just gonna take it right home and give ' em good ole ' dick figures like they want
— though keller teased that some new characters from the movie might re - appear in season five .

we want to make a dick figures movie . . . for the fans and with the fans . if we were to pitch the film to a big hollywood studio , they would most likely turn us down . while working with big studios is an important part of getting a film funded and shown to an audience , it also comes with a lot of compromises . we wanted to find a way to avoid all that and make a movie that was original , different , and true to what our fans had grown to love . dick figures has thrived on the freedom the internet allows , and with your help we can keep it that way .
author of the cult feminist classic i love dick , chris kraus discusses the radical reception reissuing her revolutionary novel has had .

collins also wrote two novels which can be considered
official
sequels to the films . dick tracy goes to war was published in 1990 , within months of the movie ' s release , and was followed in 1991 by dick tracy meets his match . another prose collection , dick tracy : the secret files was released to cash in on that year ' s tracymania and was edited by collins , but doesn ' t share any continuity with the film . but in short , if you want some kind of official

dick figures ‘ yekra release most piqued our interest because zack keller and ed skudder ‘s film represents ( at least from our point of view ) the most intriguing release from the platform since it closed a $ 3 million funding round in may . with more than 350 million views across all of its episodes , the mondo media web series clearly has a huge audience , but will they pony up to purchase the film ? will the fans who donated to the dick figures kickstarter campaign be willing to dip into their wallets a second time to support their favorite stickmen ?

warren beatty first acquired the rights to dick tracy from comic strip publishers tribune media in 1985 . at some point , these rights were supposed to revert to tribune if no new tracy projects were forthcoming from beatty , as long as they requested them via some legal gymnastics and a two - year notification process ( that window would allow warren beatty enough time to make another dick tracy movie before handing the character over ) .
mondo media may be expanding their brand into the kid - friendly market , but that doesn’t mean they’re neglecting their adult - oriented successes . the youtube - based multi - channel network has announced that they will produce three feature films based on three existing properties : happy tree friends , dick figures and deep space 69 .

that three - year period , from when tribune tried to exercise their claim on the dick tracy rights to when the suit was resolved , still doesn ' t account for the decade since then . at the time , mr . beatty claimed that tribune ' s attempt to get the rights back made progress on his own dick tracy sequel
impossible .
but considering that beatty has never been known as the most prolific filmmaker or actor , moving at a deliberate pace with all of his projects , the fact that dick tracy 2 never materialized shouldn ' t surprise anyone .

one of the things about dick figures itself , is it ' s based almost exclusively on ed and i , at least to begin , because ed is very much red and i ' m very much blue ,
keller said .
and i think that’s one of the relatable parts about it , is it ' s two friends who have similar and different tastes and interests in life , and then them just butting heads and arguing , so it feels like a friendship when you watch the show and the movie .

kraus’ novels weren ' t always treated with such reverence . running the inky division of letters , memoir and fiction i love dick , was met a frosty reception in 1977 when it was originally published by semiotext ( e ) ( from her own imprint native agents ) partly because it defied categorisation but mainly because a woman wrote it . it’s a story that mirrored kraus ' own life and the fleeting affair she ' d had with academic , dick hebdige too closely . after the protagonist , chris , engages in a “conceptual” fuck with academic , dick blank , she enlists her husband in a twisted art project whereby they write letters to dick . eventually chris leaves her husband , pursues dick and her letter writing transforms into a new form of philosophy .
. collins , an experienced crime fiction writer who also had the distinct honor of writing dick tracy ' s comic strip adventures for 15 years after creator chester gould retired , brought a more authentic voice to the proceedings . without the over the top visuals of the film , the book feels decidedly more violent ( particularly the opening description of the st . valentine ' s day style massacre that begins the movie ) , and closer to the character ' s crime solving roots than what got put on screen . warren beatty was so impressed with collins ' flourishes that some of the dialogue from the novel was later added to the finished film .

we were really busy finishing another project , and i didn ' t have the will power to make anything fantastic , so i was like , ' stick figures ? f * ck it . '
the movie of dick figures , and a big damn one at that . it was successfully kickstarted in july 2012 ( raising over $ 50 , 000 more than what they asked for ) , funding 72 minutes of film duration , and was released in september 2013 for purchase on youtube , google play , amazon , itunes , and mondo media ' s website . it also hit dvd players and blu - rays in the usa in december 2013 . for those who couldn ' t afford the purchase , they could watch it for free split into twelve parts on youtube .
the movie was originally set to be a 40 - minute long special , according to the
stretch goals
announced for the kickstarter campaign , but the film was changed into a length of 73 minutes and was also made available for public access , possibly due to mondo ' s involvement in the film .

the lawsuit that allowed beatty to retain control of the dick tracy rights may have also scuttled all plans to revive the character in other media . in 2005 , transformers producer lorenzo di bonaventura , along with bobby newmyer and scott strauss , struck a deal with tribune to develop a live - action dick tracy tv series , which would have brought the famed detective into the present day . more powerful than tommy guns , a team of lawyers put a stop to that before it got off the ground .
dick figures : the movie was funded via a kickstarter campaign , but mondo is pledging “bigger budgets and theatrical production values” to the three new features . those budgets will include large marketing campaigns that will promote each film in advance of their respective release dates . “an enormous global audience of teens and young adults have embraced youtube as their platform of choice for finding and elevating new talent , ” said mondo vp of content aaron simpson , who is in charge of the new initiative . “it’s only natural that they would want to see their favorite mondo shows produced on a theatrical feature length scale . ”
more recently , beatty still made some noises about his plans to make dick tracy 2 . this seems as unlikely now as it did five years ago .
“we want to give people the option to download or stream the movie from wherever they’re comfortable , from wherever they have accounts , from wherever it’s easiest for them to get access to the movie , ” co - creator keller told mashable . “we operate in online space , so we wanted to keep it in an online space . people don’t even have to leave their couches or their desks or wherever they are . ”
with all of the above in mind , it ' s almost no wonder that dick tracy 2 was an impossibility . setting aside the fact that the novelty of seeing so many of the iconic villains on screen at once ( william forsythe ' s flattop was a particularly memorable creation ) , trying to duplicate the almost absurd parade of talent on display under the makeup ( including dustin hoffman as well as gangster movie luminaries james caan and paul sorvino ) for a sequel would have been a fool ' s errand .
originally set to be a 40 - minute special , available only to the kickstarter backers of the official project . however , this was all changed to being a 73 - minute animated feature - length movie and having public availability .
