Vaada Karle Saajna-Kalyanji Anandji the immortal duo!

The Bharat Bhushan-Nirupa Roy hit, Samrat Chandragupta (1959) was Kalyanji's first film as Kalyanji Virji Shah. It’s songs like "Chahe Paas Ho" (Lata-Rafi) are remembered to this day. Followed a few more films alone like Post Box 999 before Anandji who was assisting him, joined him officially to form the Kalyanji-Anandji duo in Satta Bazar and Madari (1959). Chalia (1961) was their earliest major hit. But the Raj Kapoor factor branded them as pale imitators of Shankar - Jaikishan even as ‘Dum Dum Diga Diga’, Chalia Mera Naam”, and "Mere Toote Hue Dil Se" swept the charts. Kalyanji-Anandji's variety-studded music is replete with some of the topmost songs of all singers and genres, and two of their cult songs are Mere desh ki dharti (Upkar) and Yaari hai imaan mera (Zanjeer) by Mahendra Kapoor and Manna Dey respectively. There was a line of big hits like 'Zanjeer", "Hath Ki Safai", "Hera Pheri", "Muqaddar Ka Sikandar", and behind the success of these films Kalyanji Anandji's music had a great contribution. Mukesh sang almost 91 songs for them and "Chandan Sa Badan" was a gift from this duo for him. The songs from "Qurbani" &
"Muquadar Ka Sikandar" saw the peak times of Kishore Kumar & Mohd. Rafi.
Saraswatichandra, Kora Kagaz, were dominated by Lata Mangeshkar as she sang beautifully in these films and she bagged her first National Award for their Roothe roothe piya from Kora Kagaz. In the late 1970s Asha Bhosle did hit numbers with them 'Oo saathi re tere bina bhi kya jeena' from Muqaddar Ka Sikander and "Yeh mera dil" from Don .
Both Kalyanji and Anandji worked as musicians for over 400 films. The factor behind their success is hard work apart from their talent. They were never self-centered, and egoistic in nature. On August 24, 2000, Kalyanji breathed his last but his era with Anandji will always be remembered for their great contributions.

I have attempted the beautiful duet "Vaada Karle Saajna" from the film "Haath Ki Safai".
This is for the first time that I team up with "Sindhuja Bhaktavalsalam" who has a melodious voice. She is a student at IIT Guwahati. She has done a very great job in spite of her heavy schedule at the IIT.

Good no doubt ..but music does not do justice to the voices. Music is not rich and detailed as it should be. Great effort tho ..sindhuja needs to sing more openly..her voice is sweet but closed.
