Genius is a lot about astonishing an audience. A musical genius is one who manages to create something that hits the listener out of the blue, whose notes seem to have been crafted on thin air. C.Ramchandra is definitely one such man.
I spent most of today listening to "main apane dil kaa afsaanaa sunaa luu.n phir chale jaanaa". What a creation it is. When you hear such compositions, you are astonished that this man crafted his tunes after getting the lyrics. What perfect harmony exists between the lyrics and the composition. Not one filler.. every word has been carefully crafted to a melody. The opening line:
<code>
mai.n apane dil kaa afsanaa sunaa luu.N phir chale jaanaa
</code>
doesnt seem to offer many oppurtunities for innovation. But by pproviding a sudden downward murki at <i>phir chale jaanaa</i>, CR creates a completely different mood altogether. The melancholy is doubled.. sadness suddenly seems to flood out. The lament of the character turns into a cry.. what images this simple murki provides. Thats genius for you. Of course, one need hardly mention that Lata's rendition is simply perfect !!
