Tune India Radio - Rajesh Thakur's Radio Classic Show

  Here’s Rajesh Thakur talking about Life Journey of Sanjeev Kumar on his Tune India Radio’s classic show. Sanjeev Kumar (born Harihar Jethalal Jariwala; 9 July 1938 – 6 November 1985) was an Indian film actor. He won several major awards including two National Film Awards for Best Actor for his performances in the movies Dastak (1971) and Koshish (1973). He acted in genres ranging from romantic dramas to thrillers. Kumar did not mind playing roles that were non-glamorous, such as characters well beyond his age. Movies such as Arjun Pandit, Sholay and Trishul, along with the remakes of Tamil films into Hindi such as Khilona, Yehi Hai Zindagi, Naya Din Nai Raat, Devata, Itni Si Baat and Ram Tere Kitne Naam exemplify his talents. He also did suspense-thriller films such as Qatl, Shikar, Uljhan and Trishna. Kumar also proved his ability to do comedy in films such as Manchali, Pati Patni Aur Woh, Angoor, Biwi-O-Biwi and Hero.

  Here’s Rajesh Thakur talking about Ghazal King Jagjit Singh on his Tune India Radio's classic show. Jagjit Singh’s voice is a voice of a broken man, a man who was broken repeatedly by hardships of life and yet almost every time he rose up stronger and more determined. He never let tragedies of his life obstruct his passion for singing. One of the silken voices of all times, Jagjit Singh’s popularity traversed continents and multiple generations, making Ghazal a house hold genre, in the days when the form was almost on the verse of extinction. He gave his own thought, rhythm and simple prose to the art of ‘Ghazal’ singing making it reachable to the lamest audiences, who once thought it to be quite an intellectual affair. His form of music made its own impression, which did not depend on Bollywood to widen his mass appeal. Tune India Radio Sydney Australia  

  Here’s Rajesh Thakur talking about Life Journey of Kishore Kumar on his Tune India Radio’s classic show. There are singers and then there is Kishore Kumar. An unschooled singer who had no classical training, Kishore Da was truly a master of all trades — be it his beautiful voice that could make any song come alive, his quirky antics while recording those songs, or his charismatic onscreen presence that gave him the epithet of an actor who excelled at comedy. Though he is best known as one of Indian cinema’s greatest playback singers, the multi-faceted Kishore Kumar was also a lyricist, composer, producer, director, screenplay writer and scriptwriter. Apart from donning many hats in his successful career, Kishore Kumar lived an enigmatic life. His four marriages, eccentric behaviour and histrionics behind the scenes bear testimony to this.

Here’s Rajesh Thakur talking about Life Journey of O P Nayyar on his Tune India Radio’s classic show. Omkar Prasad Nayyar or O.P., as he was famously known, was born in Lahore on January 16, 2016. Largely because of not having any formal training in classical music, he was met with a string of failures and was almost ready to pack his bags when an unexpected opportunity came his way. He got a call from the great Guru Dutt to compose music for his film ‘Aar Paar.’ All the songs became a great hit and established OP as a music director. Tune India Radio
