Bollywood – The magical world of music and colourful dances and discussions are incomplete without mentioning the lovely music and amazing dance steps. Most recently I have submitted an article based on music; it’s about best 10 music directors all time. This time, I would like to forward my talks and continue with best singers of Bollywood who have given their voices to the great compositions of those versatile composers all time. Yes, I am dealing with best playback singers of Bollywood, who have rendered their melodious voices to actors onscreen and made their romantic and melodrama scenes most successful.

As a hero or heroine, an actor has a few limitations. One of those includes a sweet voice to carry away with song sequences of the film and in most cases, actors are not talented to give their voices for tunes though such practices existed during 40’s and early 50’s.

I must say I was completely and unabashedly bowled over by the brilliant performance of Shah Rukh Khan in his dual avatar in the recently released ‘FAN’. The movie itself was very engrossing from start to finish with a taut script, racy narrative and no deviations from the central plot. On top of it there are no songs!!! Even the catchy song released as a teaser-‘Jabra fan ho gayaa…’ was only for the You Tube promotions. It is not part of the film. Indeed the film showcases two SRKs- both in an unusual light sans his popular romantic image, no star-heroine and as I mentioned no songs…

The film with an interesting plot of a superstar and his look-alike fan is basically a psychological thriller and hence may not appeal to SRK’s usual family audience but there is no doubt that he has shown tremendous guts in accepting such a project highlighting the negative shades in both the characters. True, SRK did attempt such characters in the beginning of his career like Darr, Baazigar, Anjaam and Hum Tumhare Hain Sanam but to have one Shah Rukh pitted against another throughout the film is a novel aspect. 

The story in a gist is about a fan who is obsessed with his favourite superstar and would go to any lengths to meet him and just
