His success leads to a panic among the drug suppliers.
Several years later, he is offered a job by the Chief Minister of Goa: to flush out all the drug dealers in Goa, which he accepts. However, his family died in a car accident. Lorry agrees and, at the airport, successfully passes the X-ray machine.ĪCP Vishnu Kamath is a previously corrupt cop who had accepted a lot of bribes to satisfy his family. His friend Ricky tells him that he can get him into the college, but Lorry will have to smuggle drugs along with him.

Due to insufficient funds, he is unable to fulfill his dream. Burman from 1980 until his death in 1994.The film starts with a footballer, Lawrence "Lorry" Gomes, who gets admission into an American college. Asha was eventually married to long-time collaborator, the above mentioned famed Indian film composing legend, R.D. Her mentor early in her career was her older sister, the equally industrious and legendary Lata Mangeshkar. She has provided singing work for over a thousand Bollywood films and was long a staple of the industry. With her soaring voice and musical versatility, she is one of greats of Bollywood music. A lot of this is down to the strength of the Asha Bhosle vocal performance, which is, in a word: epic.Īsha Bhosle was born in Sangli, India in 1933. While my exploration of the Bollywood genre has led to my discovering more musical gems than I can count, “Dum Maro Dum” remains a strong favorite to which I can keep returning. At the same time that The Beatles were first messing around with pulling sitars into their music, Burman had already assimilated all of Indian classical, Indian folk music, Western pop music, various East and South East Asian music traditions and a whole lot else into his oeuvre. Burman was absolutely vociferous in his ability to adapt and utilize musical traditions from all over the world. While it is often unfairly maligned and dismissed as easily disposable pop music – accompaniment to sell what are often fairly low budget films – the composers and performers behind it frequently incredible musicians. This got me to go back and start listening to and seeking out Bollywood soundtracks.īollywood is an interesting genre. Between the twangy guitar stabs, swirling psychedelic sounds and the super high (provided by Asha Bhosle plus backing chorus) vs super low vocal (by Zeenat Aman) combination, I was hooked. Burman, was like nothing I had heard before. The song, written by arguably the the greatest Bollywood composer of them all, R.D.
When I first heard the swirling psychedelic drone that kicks off the 1971 film, Hare Rama Hare Krishna, my opinion almost immediately changed. Certainly, they were not the equal of the Indian classical music that I liked and respected. Despite having several Indian friends growing up and being exposed to a number of Bollywood films when staying over at their homes, I never took a lot of interest in these seemingly randomly plotted and pageant-like film productions that always struck me as more than a little silly. Song of the Day: Asha Bhosle & Zeenat Aman “Dum Maro Dum”Īsha Bhosle‘s incredible voice on this psychedelic Bollywood title cut proved to be the gateway that got me to take an interest in Bollywood music.
