Hindi tunes in South Indian Films or vice versa
Music can be regarded as a universal entity, because a listener may not speak or know a particular language of a song, but can certainly understand the emotion and feeling behind the number and relate the same once the tune is catchy . Many Music directors in India have tried to create that oneness by adopting catchy or popular tunes of their contemporary MD’s from different languages and using it in one of their own films.
While Hindi tunes have been widely popular in the country and many regional music directors have tried to re-use them in their films, the same is true on the opposite side too. Sometimes similar tunes could be used in films which were made simultaneously in many languages or when a film is dubbed into other language, the original tune would be used for the song thereby proving that music has no barriers in terms of region, language, creed etc. We are going to see some examples of it in this article.
The main focus is on songs rendered by Smt.P.Susheela in a regional(mainly south indian languages like tamil, telugu, kannada and Malayalam) or hindi film based on similar tunes taken from any of these languages.An attempt has been made on this topic, but suggestions, feedback and any new information is sincerely appreciated.
