Sanjay Leela Bhansali a big name in Indian Film Industry from Big Stars to newcomers everyone has a dream to work with Bhansali at least once in their lifetime. But how many of you know about his debut film?? People often answer 1999 hit Salman Khan, Aishwarya Rai and Ajay Devgn starrer Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam was his debut film. The Answer is ‘No’.
Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Debut film was released in 1996 “Khamoshi The Musical” starring Salman Khan, Manisha Koirala, Nana Patekar and Helen in Guest role. But tragedy is that the film was Box Office Flop despite having Chartbuster songs like Aaj main upar aasman niche, Aankhon mein kya, Bahon k Darmiya sang by top notch singers of 90’s Alka Yagnik, Kavita Krishnamurthy, Kumar Sanu, Hariharan and Udit Narayan. Composed by Jatin Lalit. Lyrics by Majrooh Sultanpuri.
The film plot has similarity with recently won Oscar winning film CODA (2022) which is inspired from 2014 french film La Famille Bélier. The theme of the film was that a deaf and mute couple in Goa. They have a baby girl, Annie who is able to speak and hear. Annie’s life is divided into two worlds – one with her parents and the other of music, which she loves. Annie gets her musical inspirations from her grandmother, Maria Braganza (Helen). (Source: Wikipedia)
Bhansali has delivered few flops in his entire filmy career and Khamoshi is one of them but people will still remember this film because of its Chartbuster songs. There’s already a film name Khamoshi which was released in 1969 starring Waheeda Rehman, Rajesh Khanna and Dharmendra but the plot is completely different from this 1996 film.
The list of songs is given below:
1. Aaj main upar.
2. Yeh dil sun raha hain.
3. Baahon k Darmiya.
4. Aankhon mein kya.
Before I Conclude just to add few lines, Every decade passes we able to see a new SLB in his work but one thing is contant that is romance.
Bye.
