Listen to the story of the memorable songs of 'Dhadkan', the testimony of the director of this film

There are many songs from Hindi films that have some unforgettable memories behind them. It has also happened many times that after the release of a particular song, it has received a very good response, but later the song will remain evergreen. Something similar happened with the lyrics of Dharmesh Dashin's film 'Dhadkan'.

Whether the song 'Tum Dil Ki Dhadkan Mein, Rahte Ho ..' and 'Din Ne Ye Kaha Hai, Dil Se Suna Hai ..' , 'Aksar Is Duniya Mein ..' or 'Na Na Karte Pyaar ..' Even today, these songs increase our heart rate. But you will be surprised to know that when the songs of 'Dhadan' were released, it got a very cold response. And this was admitted by the film's writer-director Dharmesh Darshan himself.

"On the first day, I was in Bangalore and stood for six hours outside the Planet M music store in the upmarket city center," he said. But I didn't see anyone coming out to buy a song CD. Eventually I went to the store myself and asked the cashier what the response to the song was when he said 'no response.' For me this answer was extremely disappointing.

However, Dharmesh Darshan's friends tried to comfort him by saying that the songs in the film were not comparable to his last movie 'Raja Hindustani'. And in it a. R. Not even the magic of Rahman’s music. So people will gradually accept these songs. Then, just 15 days before the release of the film, the director shot 'Na Na Karte Pyaar ..' During the shooting, when he asked for the opinion of the people working in the production, he said 'OK'.

But after the movie was released on August 11, 2000, everything seemed to change. Dharmesh Darshan says that the sales of the album of songs skyrocketed overnight and these songs became chartbusters. This was rare in those days. Once the film was released, the sales of the songs would automatically decrease.

Importantly, in this Intense Love Story the director took on actors with conflicting images. However, in addition to these actors, the music of the film was also an unparalleled success.

Importantly, even before the filming of 'Na Na Karte ..', Dharmesh Darshan shot intimate bedroom scenes between Akshay and Shilpa. This filming caused a new twist in the relationship between the two.

The director says that a wife who is in love with another man keeps a certain distance from her husband. But she melts when she sees her husband taking care of her and her family. She then goes to her husband, dressed in bridal attire, as if signaling intimacy with her husband. And this scene only leads to the song. The director further says that but we had to drop this scene on the editing table and so my actors were very sad. But to reduce the length of the film we had no choice but to cut this scene. And I convinced myself that if nothing else, I would try to change the image of my artists.

However, he still had a USP in his hand, 'Dulhe ka sehra suhana ..' Sambharta Dharmesh Darshan says that the song was sung by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. In fact, he gave the background music of Shekhar Kapoor's 'Bandit Queen' at that time. And when I found out that they were in town, I asked the producers to sing the song. Of course, at the initial stage they were a little hesitant. But Nusrat Ali Khan heard the music of 'Raja Hindustani' so he agreed to sing this song.

They arrived at the recording studio at 10 pm and returned at 7 am. Meanwhile, Shravan and I gave him an estimate of the song as well as its situation. And he made 'Dhadkan' very unique by singing 'Dadkan' in Punjabi accent. I also left 'Dadkan' as it is and there is no doubt that this song is the most popular song of Hindi film sung by Surat Fateh Ali Khan.

The greatest happiness for Dharmesh Darshan is that even after two decades, the demand for this film is still there and its song raises the heartbeat of the people. In fact, there have been rumors of a sequel to the film. But Dharmesh Darshan says that given the popularity of the film, he will be ready to make a sequel only when he is able to make a sequel that surpasses that popularity.

He further says that it is not a matter of budget of the film. But ‘Dhadkan’ is still going on today because of its quality. The actors of this movie are asked to perform the song of this movie in front of them when they are doing a show. In addition, Satellite and OTT have made significant contributions in expanding its popularity. Because of this I am also getting a number of offers. But I will come out of my spontaneous break only when I can present something unique.
