Lagan Lagi This Weekend On Ek Se Badhkar Ek?

Posted in Ek Se Badhkar Ek, SaReGaMaPa, Raja Hasan on June 30th, 2008

Whenever Raja Hasan participates in these reality show contests – news comes in flying from all corners. Some turn out to be true, and sometimes a few don’t.

Rumour is that Raja Hasan could be singing Lagan Lagi – the Sukhwinder hit from Tere Naam. And composed by my favourite Himesh Reshammiya.

But, as the shoot is still three days away, things could change. This, let me remind you yet again, is not 100% confirmed news – but hopefully he sings this magical number.

Here’s the original version:

Raja jaani………. Mere Khwabo Mein Aa, Dhadkano Mein Sama
Aake Jalwa Dikha Jogiya
Ab Tere Bina Dil Lagta Nahi
Aake Phir Tu Naa Jaa Jogiya
Aankhe Mere Dars Ko Tarse Yaad Mein Teri Naina Barse
Hoto Pe Hai Naam Tera Saason Mein Hai Naam Tera
Ho Mera Dil Gaya Gaya Gaya Gaya Gaya
Lagan Lagan Lagan Lagan Lagan Lagan Lag Gai Hai
Tumse Meri Lagan Lagi

I found the below article in Deccan Herald, a leading newspaper in bangalore. There is a very good mention of our Raja, so thought I would post it here.

Here is the article:

Music shows are fine, but mainstream success is different

New Delhi, PTI:

The country’s first Indian Idol Abhijeet Sawant enjoyed his moments of fame but then disappeared from the limelight. His successors Sandeep Acharya and Prashant Tamang fared even worse as they have hardly been heard of…

Even as television channels gear up for an all new season of music-based reality shows, promising new superstars year after year, the past winners have faded into oblivion, unable to live upto the hype generated by these shows.

According to music director Ehsaan Noorani of the Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy group, music shows are all a battle for TRP’s and advertising. “Talent rarely plays a defining role in the end results. The real talent gets eliminated for reasons not related to singing,” he says.

“The shows promise creating superstars but instead produce singers who end up doing stage shows,” Noorani adds.

The country’s first Indian Idol Abhijeet Sawant enjoyed his moments of fame with ‘Mohabbatein Lutaunga (Aapka Abhijeet Sawant) and Marjawa Mitjawa (Aashiq Banaya Aapne) but then disappeared from the limelight. His successors Sandeep Acharya and Prashant Tamang fared even worse as they have hardly been heard of, ever since winning the crown.

Similarly, Debojit Saha and Aneek Dhar (winners of Sa re ga ma pa challenge 2005 and 2007 respectively)and Ishmeet Singh (winner of Star Voice of India 2007) hardly found any mention after the shows were over.

Commenting on the trend, music-director Aadesh Shrivastava, who will be seen as a judge in Zee’s Sa re ga ma pa Challenge 2009 says, “The winner in these shows are not the best of singers. Hence they rarely get opportunities in Bollywood. It is the other talented but lesser known contestants of the show who have fared better.”
Echoing Shrivastava, music director-singer Shankar Mahadevan, who will also tutor students for Sa re ga ma pa Challenge this season says, “We are not looking out for a winner in reality shows as the person may not necessarily be the best singer.”

However, he adds “Bollywood is always scouting for talent and the show succeeds in throwing up talented people like Nihira Joshi and Raja Hassan.”

The observation is not misplaced as the challengers to winner’s crown like Raja Hassan (who lost to Dhar under controversial circumstances), Nihira Joshi (finalist, Saregamapa 2005), NC Karunya (runner-up to Sandeep Acharya), Rahul Vaidya (2nd runner up Indian Idol 1) and Rahul Saxena (made it to top 10 of Indian Idol 1) amongst others have made noteworthy strides towards Bollywood.

While Hassan is rumoured to have bagged work alongside Adnan Sami, Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, Vishal Shekhar and Bappi Lahiri, Nihira received accolades for her songs in Saalam-e-Ishq. Meanwhile, Vaidya (Shaadi No. 1, Jigyasa, Hot Money, Krazzy 4 and Jaaneman), Saxena (Om Shanti Om) and Karunya (Lage Raho Munnabhai) look settled to play a long innings in Bollywood.

“The actual struggle for a contestant starts once the show is over. To succeed one requires a lot of willpower and perseverance and only people willing to make the effort succeed,” says Jatin Pandit (Jatin-Lalit fame) who has been a part of Sa re ga ma pa as well as Star Voice of India, citing examples of Sunidhi Chauhan and Shreya Ghoshal, themselves products of music shows.
“The shows provide contestants a platform where they get to learn from the bigwigs of the industry. They understand what is reqiured of them to make it big in the industry,” he adds.

The veterans, however, are unanimous in their view that handling instant fame and success also plays a big role in the metamorphosis of a contestant. “The contestant gets instant fame and success but there is a process for getting mainstrean success and they (the participants) have to understand how to sustain this pressure if they are to succeed,” says Jatin.

shobha,tumne to mere man ki baat keh di. nihira ke liye mere man main bahut pyar hai. uske liye main weekly 4-5 vote karti thi.iska afsos mujhe zindgi bhar rahega.lekin usske baad raja ke time maine ye decide kiya tha ki ab votes ki kami ki vajeh se kisi ke saath nainsaafi nahi hone doongi. vaise aap main se jo log raja ko vote nahi kar paye, don’t worry, maine bahut vote kar diye hain.
shashi, on July 1st, 2008 at 11:25 am Said:

agar aap sab ndtv ka junoon programme follow karte hain to usske sufi singers ke baarre main apni opinion bataiyen.mohhamad wakil aur khas taur par ali abbas ki mujhe bahut intzaar rehti hai.
Avantika, on July 1st, 2008 at 5:30 pm Said:

@Kavitha Di…..THANKS A LOT for sharing this with us….really happy for Raja Bhaiya
Kavitha Kumar, on July 1st, 2008 at 6:32 pm Said:

All are most welcome. I have been a Raja fan myself and seeing such article published made me feel happy and so shared it with all of you.
Shobha, on July 1st, 2008 at 8:44 pm Said:

Shashiji, I was really very upset when Nihira got voted out - majar kya kare - such is life. Let’s hope she goes very far in life - most importantly, she gets to do what she wants to do in life. I always look out for information on her and hope to see her make it big, too - just like Raja.

Thank you for voting for Raja - online shayad kaam nahin kar raha - I’m trying to vote - will continue trying…

Unfortunately, I do not get NDTV - I would have loved to hear the sufi singers - I love sufi music.
Raffu, on July 1st, 2008 at 9:26 pm Said:

Nihira was my favourite too… I had cried a lot when she got out.
I too hope and pray that she does very well in life and become the next Lata.. Amen!!
shashi, on July 2nd, 2008 at 12:09 am Said:

shobha,raffu…nihira ke baare main tumhare khayal jankar ek baat to saaf hoti ja rahi hai ki raja ke fans ke taste kaphi commen hai. mohhad rafi ke baare main aapka kya khayal hai .he is my all time favourite singer.yeh awaaz jis bhi person ke liye istemal hui aisa lagta tha jaise woh person bahut hi high moral standerd wala,bahut hi commited aur understanding person hai.ek ideal male voice ka impression aata hai.main rafi sahab ki zabardast fan hoon.
lavanya, on July 2nd, 2008 at 12:43 am Said:

@ Shashi ji,

Mai bhi Rafi saab ka zabardasth fan thi,main bachpan se hi sirf aur sirf unke hi fan rahi , sirf Rafi saab hi the ki jinki mai fan kehsakthi ,maine kabhi kisika bhi fan nahi rahi thi naahi kisi actor ka ya koyi singer ka balki sirf aur sirf Rafi saab ko hi pasand karthi thi,
magar ye kehete hue mujhe darr lagraha hai,jaane aap kya sochenge,magar sach yehi hai ki ab mai unka fan nahi rahi,Jab se maine Raja ko jaani, meri tho poori zindagi hi badal gayi, is se pehele mai “Maine poocha chand se” gaane ko kitne hazaaro baar sunthi thi ki mai aap ko keh nahi sakthti magar jab wohi gaana apna Raja ke muh se suni thi thab se lekar aaj tak phir kabhi maine Rafi ji ka version nahi suni hoon,I swear on God this is true that Jab se Raja ko suni hoon tab se sab ko bhool gayi hoon,
Shobha, on July 2nd, 2008 at 1:00 am Said:

Shashiji, main bhi Rafi saab ko bahut pasand karti hoon - aaj bhi - I love to listen to his voice and his songs - and whatever little I read or heard about him years ago - he seemed to be such a good human being. I respected him a lot and still do. He was one amazing singer.

I feel very happy when I see so many talented people in so many areas - music, dancing, art, craft, computer, business and so many more (I guess all fields) - it’s such a warm feeling to be exposed to talented people, especially when they are also good human beings.
shashi, on July 2nd, 2008 at 1:40 am Said:

actually lavanya, is waqt to hum sabhi raja mania ke shikar hain,lekin purani cheezein hamare unconcious mind main chali jaati hain jise hum bhoolna samajh baithte hai.rafi ke baad raja ne hi mujhe junoon ki had tak pahunchaya hai.
