Not only iconic dialogues but also songs in Amitabh Bachchan’s voice have been winning hearts over the years
Whether romantic, fun, folk, forlorn, festive or quirky, Amitabh Bachchan has rendered songs in different flavours over the years. Here are the tracks he has lent his voice to, not counting verses like Yeh Kahan Aa Gaye Hum. Goes to prove that his singing voice is just as cool as his talking!
Mere Paas Aao
Mr Natwarlal
Amitabh played a conman in the film but the way he sang the song for kids was adorable. It was a nice little mix of singing and dramatic tale of a tiger. All hail the storyteller!
Neela Aasman
Silsila
The soft, slow and romantic song was sung by Big B for his ladylove in the film, Rekha. It was the actor’s idea to have it in the film. The tune composed by Shammi Kapoor was inspired from a folk song, seven years before Silsila, at a jam session between the two actors.
Eer Bir Phatte
Aby Baby
The MTV gen will remember this song had AB shaking a leg and singing quirky-cute lyrics about four friends making catapults, killing birds, and collecting twigs. The words were penned by his father, poet Harivanshrai Bachchan and composed by Bally Sagoo. The song had also featured in his 1976 film Adalat in a teeny-weeny scene? The cutout animation was cool, too!
Rang Barse
Silsila
The ulti-mate Holi song! The festival of colours is incom-plete without this one. After the verse in Yeh kahan and the romantic Neela aasman, came this peppy song in his deep voice.
Go Meera Go
Bbuddah Hoga Tera Baap
AB reprised one of the most famous songs Khaike Paan Benaras Wala (Don) for the remix in this movie. This cool dance number will get you grooving.
Rozana
Nishabd
The pop-rock number had Bachchan Sr giving his best to this wistful song. The song is dark and the texture of Big B’s voice was heard like never before.
Mere Angne Mein
Lawaris
Remember Big B dressed as a dark-complexioned, overweight, short, and fair woman in the song? A simple song sung well and was at par with the queer video.
Mere Paa
Paa
Not just talking with that nasal twang throughout the film, Big B sang a whole song in it. The music was edgy, though the singing wasn’t melodious, understandably so, it is commendable how he pulled off such a difficult feat.
Ekla Cholo Re
Kahaani
AB may not have acted in the film but rendered this Rabindranath Tagore song, which was the theme of the film — about walking alone even while faced with difficulties. He may not have sung it like a true blue babumoshay, but the rendition was much liked!
Hori Khele Raghubira
Baghban
Decades after Rang Barse came this Holi song with Hema Malini. Needless to say, this made it to the festival playlist just like the earlier song and became just as popular.
Kyun Re
Teen
Who would have thought that baritone can be softened enough to go with an acoustic song! The stripped-down song and AB singing Amitabh Bhattacharya’s deep lyrics, Kyun re kar gaya tanhaa aisa, will tug at your heart.
Ganpati Aarti
Sarkar 3
This year, AB’s voice vibrated and went perfectly with the depth and intensity of the Ganesh Aarti. The actor has nailed the pronunciation perfectly in both, lead and backing vocals parts.
Piddly Si Baatein
Shamitabh
The song was filmed with him sitting in the toilet! The drawl with which he sang the eccentric lyrics so effortlessly is super.
