I too listened to that cassette and IMO it's just a decent imitation and no
more. I am sure I wouldn't have been fooled by any of those songs if I was
given the song without knowing it was sung by Sanu. OTOH I _did_ hear songs by
Amit which made me feel that I might've been fooled if I hadn't known it was
Amit.

Just one week after the call-in survey I mentioned in the previous post, on
another radio program in Houston, the guy played a song of Amit in the call-in
quiz. At the end, he said that 95 % of the callers mistook Amit for Kishore!
Listen to some of Amit's songs (from movies made _after_ his announcement last
year to take his career seriously) (e.g. from adharm, humlaa, gharaanaa etc) to
know how well he can imitate KK. He is much more mature now than he ever was.
Unfortunately, he made his debut too early unlike Kishore.

I get a feeling that those who say that Amit cannot imitate Kishore very well
just take it for granted when listening to some of Amit'ss songs that they were
sung by Kishore. Sanu registers in their minds as a good imitator, but Amit
doesn't, because he gets _mistakened_ for Kishore sometimes.

I agree that Sanu succeeds in sounding like Kishore at low pitch (and at medium
pitch to some extent). But, at higher pitches, he sounds totally different. All
in all, I'll _never_ have any trouble in distinguishing him from Kishore. A
small bit having atleast 4-5 words (not at a low pitch) is enough for me to
distinguish between KS and KK. May be we have different ears ...

Moreover, Kumar Sanu cannot imitate all the facets of Kishore. He can sing only
certain types of songs. I know I'l get flames from the fans of Sanu, but IMHO
Sanu just repeats himself. In terms of variety and versatility, definitely Amit
is more talented than most singers today. It'll be a pity if he wastes his
talent in songs like oye oye, tap tap tap tap tapori, duniyaa ki thaa thaa
thaa etc etc.

This song is from the film "The Train", music by Rahul Dev Burman.   The scene
has Rajesh Khanna doing a Jeetendraesque running around trees with Nanda who looks
old enough to be his ******.   The film has some other very very nice songs
including Lata's "Kisliye maine pyaar kiya" and a couple of cabarets (for lack of
a better word) sung by Asha and picturized on Helen.

Dear Zaheer,
              I think your enthusiasm for aspects of movies other than
the music is great. But this group is probably as good a place as any
for reviews and such. The .misc part in this group allows us to talk 
about any subject that we think is even remotely related to film songs.
          I think the readership of this group and any other group 
exclusively devoted to movies will be more or less the same. The best way
to increase the number of articles about movies is to initiate matters
by posting specific articles. That will take much less effort than the
setting up of a new group.
               I cannot say I am a prolific poster but I do enjoy this
group a lot. So please feel free to post reviews/gossip/questions. I am
sure there are plenty of other readers like me who enjoy reading about
movies. Oh how I miss my Filmfare days!
          I do not miss S.J. Banaji the Filmfare film reviewer who never had
a kind word for any movie except Satyajit Ray's films. Ok, so let us start
some discussion. I firmly believe that masala movies are an essential part
of fun. There is a problem only when people take them too seriously e.g.
anyone who is looking for major patriotic inspiration in a Mr. Bharat movie
like "Roti Kapda aur Makaan" should have his head examined. Similarly "An
Evening in Paris" is certainly not a deep examination of French culture.
I quite enjoyed "Mard" because of the one man Amitabh Bacchan juggernaut
of comedy, buffoonery, fighting, "emoting", dialogue maroing etc. I have
always wondered how these actors utter all those corny lines with such
straight faces.
    And speaking of dialogue maroing, greetings to fellow Shatrughan Sinha
haters. Also am I the only Stardust starved reader here? I got to read 
Neeta's natter about a year ago and was delighted to see gems like
"Nikku, sadela chikku," and "Phookat kaa maal," "Miss Chamchi", "Khunnas"
etc. Stardust blazed a new trail in picturesque prose.
                   Enough rambling, I hope I get to see more on
movies from fellow netters,
                  From one  cat to another.
                         Meeow till next time,

Talking about movies with great songs, a problem faced by the 
thirtysomething crowd, or me at any rate, is that the songs of
our best years have pretty much disappeared.  Particularly, the 
ones that were very good without being everlasting favourites.  
I mean songs from movies like Abhinetri, Ajnabi, etc.  You can 
get the movies on videotape, but you can't get the audio for love 
or money.

One solution that I have adopted is to tape the songs straight off
the videotape.  It sounds reasonably good in the car, although at 
home the hiss is quite annoying.  Does anybody know a good way to
cut down on the hiss without going through infinite cycles of
Noise Reduction.
