HM himself had said and same must be true for all composers that they have to add/ use fillers in the songs till it matches their satisfaction and rhythm. May be that's the reason even if SB didn't wish to, he had to bow to the demand of composer.
Mishkil, you are right. The musicians and the film-makers do meddle with the lyrics. There are just too many examples of such things.. Even people like Hridaynath & Lata didi have done it.!
The famous Abhang "Nako devraayaa anta aata pahu" has been meddled with by Lata didi for no reason! (and in this case there was no question of the writer's agreement!)
As we know, one of the standards for Abhang (or Ovi) has two rules -
1. The format of 6-6-6-4. (i.e. in one stanza, first 3 lines contain 6 letters and the last line contains 4 letters.)
2. Second and third lines should rhyme
Take any other example -
Jethe jaato tethe,
Tu majha saangati,
chaalavisi haati,
Dharuniya!
Here, saangati and haati rhyme with each other.
So, in Nako devaraya, the original lines are:
Nako devaraayaa,
Ant pahu aata,
Pran ha sarvatha,
Phuto pahe!
But the composer changed it to:
Nako devaraayaa,
Ant aata pahu,
Pran ha sarvatha,
Jaau pahe!
I do not get the intention of doing this! First change the standard format, and then put a totally different word, altogether?!!! why?
In this case, it had nothing to do with 'fitting-to-the-tune'.. The original lyrics fits with the tune just perfectly..
I love this song and I worship Mangeshkars for their talent.. But even great people sometimes do such things.
