I like very few songs of Raghav, the music composer, viz. The lyrics, music, voice and on-screen presentation are flawless. Still, even I must admit that with the mood and demand of this song Ashaji’s voice is a one hundred per cent match. Between the two sisters, and the two all time great female singers of Hindi film industry, I have always been biased in favour of Lataji, and still am. Burman, but I am a bigger fan of his father (not because of Pyasaa, but more about that in some other post). This song and the Pancham-Asha-Helen siren songs, although similar in some ways, are essentially different.

No, it’s not the full blown Helen type cabaret song, not with S D in charge. Her elder sister got to lend her voice to the heroine, and Ashaji became the voice of the other girl. Asha Bhosle’s voice was the one most suited for the song, as she was nearly the second name of that genre in the sixties and, specially, seventies. The original song has become a classic of sorts in the genre of “siren songs” in Hindi films. Raghav and Sophie (or, shall I say Sophie and Raghav?) have re-created their very own “Raat Akeli Hai”, by changing both the music and the way the song is sung, and, of course, the voice of of the lead singer, and with the addition of the parts in which Raghav sings/raps. Ragini MMS plays the same soundtrack, albeit with some sounds added to make the song a fit prelude to the eerie atmosphere essential for the film. The character she plays may not have succeeded in her designs the film, but the song became a hit, and lives even today, nearly half a century later, when most of the people associated with the song have already passed away. Burman, Majrooh Sultanpuri and Asha Bhosle behind it, while on screen the tantalizing Tanujaji allured the suave Dev Saab. Jewel Thief (1967), Ragini MMS (2011) and Raghav Sachar-Sophie Choudry’s recent hit remix have one element in common: the song “Raat Akeli Hai”.
