India, June 15 -- Only a few playback singers can claim to have been the voice behind two of Indian cinema's biggest blockbusters released on the same day. Udit Narayan, 70, is one of them, having lent his vocals to both Lagaan and Gadar: Ek Prem Katha in 2001.
As both the films mark their silver jubilee today, June 15, Narayan says, "I can't believe it's been 25 years. I still see the madness and nasha for them. I feel lucky to be part of both films that created history at the box office; both are musical blockbusters."
Narayan won his first National Award for Mitwa from Lagaan, while Gadar delivered evergreen hits like Main Nikla Gaddi Leke, Musafir Jaane Wale and Udd Jaa Kaale Kaava "Even today, people request songs from both films at my shows. Their popularity keeps increasing each year," he adds.
And the credit, he says, goes to the entire teams behind both films. "One had AR Rahman's music, the other Uttam Singh's. One had Javed Akhtar's writing, the other Anand Bakshi. One had Aamir Khan, the other Sunny Deol. It still feels like a dream," says Narayan, calling it a "God's blessing" to have contributed to both classics....
