Remember jhankar beats? Not the movie, the REAL jhankar beats, the tunes that were remixed with the same. Yeah, Kumar Shanu, Nadeem Shravan and of course, how can we forget Gulshan Kumar? (He's still presenting albums, so say the promos!) Where from, up there I guess? Well, anyway, the point of the matter is, yesterday I happened to listen to this old number in a tea-shop (jhankar beats and all) and my memory revved up on all cylinders! The first thing back in those days, whenever I heard these songs, that came to my mind was that of a music composer collectively holding all the accompanying instruments and beating them on a washing stone, much like the neighborhood 'dhobi'. It made that kind of a sound - 'Thup-jhunk, thup-jhunk, thup-jhunk', interspersed with those legimes that you hear in popular bhajans. Oh boy!
Remixes? Not for me. Ummm, well some of them are kind of catchy..but gimme an original any day.

lol. i just loved the movie so much id forgotten about the original jhankar beats!
Amen! I hear now, that the orginal composer comes out with the remix too, in the same track/cd! :)
o well, why let someone else do it...?!
You set off the train of thoughts on my mind as well... yes, the originals are definitely good. Some RARE remixes are good, too. Like the "Bin tere sanam" one, etc. BTW, did you know that the "Kambakht Ishq" tune is also a remix of the original that was made?
ricer: true, the movie was really good (i won't say great, but good). I wonder why they named it jhankaar beats..
gabby: yeah, remixes these days are from the original composer himself, but then...I don't think anybody would venture into jhankar beats ever again..it just doesn't sync..or maybe it..sinks..
patrix: Deewana!!! I was desperately trying to remember the name of this movie yesterday.. :)
and all the TSeries tapes used to have that 'free jhankar beats' of 25 minutes...
jhankaar beats? there was something apart from the movie haa? hmmm interesting..
me too me too...original anyday!!
