Kumar Sanu’s charismatic voice has enticed generations of Bollywood Music lovers. He got his first major break when Gulshan Kumar along with music directors Nadeem and Shravan gave him a chance to sing most of the songs for the 1990 film, ‘Aashiqui’. The songs were recorded earlier for an album and then the movie was made around the songs. The songs aired everywhere, including the Chitrahaar show on Doordarshan and were the biggest hits of the decade. Enjoy Sanu’s melodies on GaanPehchaana.

 

When Sanu’s Music Worked As Medicine

Many of Sanu’s songs have played cupid and motivated couples to tie the knot. His songs like ‘Jab Koi Baat Bigad Jaye’ from the 1990 film, ‘Jurm’ has helped cure cancer patients in Hong Kong. Whereas the song ‘Kuch Na Kaho, Kuch Bhi Na Kaho’ from (1942, A Love Story) made the Zurich-based 22-year-old Abhishek Mitra suffering from cerebral palsy respond positively. Abhishek couldn’t bat a single eyelid, but this song made him cry, laugh, smile and scream. Doctor’s say that the frequency of his voice hits the brain and energizes it. Medical experts are trying to grasp that frequency. According to Shanu, this is his greatest achievement.

 

Let’s read about a few of Kumar Sanu’s most-loved songs of all time.

Tujhe Dekha To Ye Jana Sanam

Music: Jatin-Lalit

Lyrics: Anand Bakshi

Singers: Lata Mangeshkar, Kumar Sanu

‘Tujhe Dekha To Ye Jana Sanam, Pyar Hota Hai Deewana Sanam.’ Kumar Shanu’s heroic voice sounds perfect as Shahrukh’s voice. This song is from the 1995 movie, ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’, which gave Bollywood it’s first modern romantic hero and the perfect singer to ape his voice. Lata Mangeshkar as Simran did a great job as well.

Dheere Dheere Se Meri Zindagi Mein Aana

Music: Nadeem-Shravan

Lyrics: Sameer

Singers: Kumar Sanu, Anuradha Paudwal

This song is a classic hit, which has been remade quite often, at times for new movies and at other times for various music videos. Kumar Sanu and prominent bhajan singer, Anuradha Paudwal add an otherworldly charm to this song filled with the cheesy music from the acoustic guitars. This track from the 1990 film, ‘Aashiqui’ changed the lives of many in the summer of 1990.

Aankhon Ki Gustakhiyan

Music: Ismail Darbar

Lyrics: Sameer

Singers: Kumar Sanu, Kavita Krishnamurthy

The hide and seek between Aishwarya and Salman in this song from the 1999 film, ‘Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam’ will melt your heart like butter. Kumar Sanu and Kavita Krishnamurthy’s voices are perfect and very appropriately express Aishwarya and Salman’s feelings.

Mera Dil Bhi Kitna Pagal Hai

Music: Nadeem-Shravan

Lyrics: Sameer

Singers: Kumar Sanu and Alka Yagnik

Kumar Sanu and Alka Yagnik’s singing duo was considered to be the best in the 1990’s. ‘Mera Dil Bhi Kitna Pagal Hai’ stars Sanjay Dutt and Madhuri Dixit, who are seen strolling through a picturesque hill station spending some quality time together. Nadeem-Shravan were too good with the composition.

Do Dil Mil Rahe Hain

Music: Nadeem-Shravan

Lyrics: Anand Bakshi

Singers: Kumar Sanu

This melody is from the well-acclaimed 1997 musical drama ‘Pardes’ directed by Subhash Ghai. Almost all of you must have heard this all-time favourite hit by Kumar Sanu. Nadeem-Shravan and Kumar Sanu is an unbeatable combination and you’ll specifically love the ‘Gup Chup Gup Chup’ part sung by the little kids.

Chura Ke Dil Mera Goriya Chali

Music: Anu Malik

Lyrics: Rani Malik

Singers: Kumar Sanu & Alka Yagnik

‘Chura Ke Dil Mera Goriya Chali’ from the 1994 blockbuster action comedy, ‘Mai Anari Tu Khiladi’ turned us into the biggest Shilpa Shetty, Akshay Kumar fans of all time. This has been one of Anu Malik’s most successful compositions and obviously Alka Yagnik, Kumar Sanu were the best playback pair of that time.

Nazar Ke Samne

Music: Nadeem-Shravan

Lyrics: Sameer

Singers: Kumar Sanu, Anuradha Paudwal

‘Nazar Ke Samne, Jigar Ke Paas, Koi Rehta Hai, Vo Ho Tum’ was one of the most favoured and liked song from the ‘Aashiqui’ album. Sanu and Anuradha Paudwal’s magnetic voices were just perfect to bring out the intensity of the lead characters played by Rahul Roy and Anu Agrawal.

Kuch Na Kaho

Music: R.D Burman

Lyrics: Javed Akhtar

Singers: Kumar Sanu

Each song of Kumar Sanu is a precious gem that is going to shine through eternity and especially this one. R.D Burman’s compositions always have a magical touch to them and Javed Akhtar is no less with his lyrics. ‘Kuch Na Kaho, Kuch Bhi Na Kaho’, Do you like this song From ‘1942, A Love Story’ starring Anil Kapoor and Manisha Koirala? Listen to it on GaanaPehchaana.

Ae Kash Ke Hum

Music: Jatin-Lalit

Lyrics: Majrooh Sultanpuri

Singers: Kumar Sanu

Remember this melody from ‘Kabhi Ha Kabhi Na’? Shahrukh Khan is seen taking Suchitra Krishnamoorthi on the best first date ever in this particular song. This is a hot favourite with the 90’s born people. Majrooh Sultanpuri’s lyrics come in as a whiff of fresh air. The violin tunes add to the romantic atmosphere.

Sanu was born as Kedarnath Bhattacharya and has been through plenty of struggles in life. He has achieved tons of success and has learned a lot from eminent music composers like R.D Burman. We wish to travel back to the times from not so long ago when Kumar Sanu’s heroic voice was the most perfect voice for our leading men in Bollywood.
