Meri Awaz Ko Mil Gayi Roshni is an Indian musical drama series that aired on STAR Plus from 23 April 2007 to 17 January 2008.[1] The series starred Ashima Bhalla, Saumya Tandon and Karan Grover.[2]
Plot[edit]
Meri Awaz Ko Mil Gayi Roshni is a story about Raj (Karan Grover) and Sudha's (Ashima Bhalla) love, and Sudha's desire to become a singer to fulfill her late mother's dreams. The show takes a 360 degrees when Raj's former employer takes a liking to him and does everything in her power to sabotage his relations with Sudha.
Music and Lyrics[edit]
Nida Fazli has written seven songs for the serial. A "musical saga", the serial has scores by Pritam's erstwhile partner Jeet Ganguly. And the songs have been sung by Gayatri Iyer-Ganjawala, Mahalaxmi Iyer and Hamsika Iyer. Nida Fazli says that the "musical" serial has the "possibility for good lyrics" as it deals with human relations and clash of egos. And an understanding music director (Jeet) was a bonus. "I was given a free hand to give my kind of lyrics for the serial. I agreed to write its songs only after I was convinced that it had a good storyline. Deepak Segal (Fox Television Studios India country head), like his father (Mohan Segal) has a sense of good poetry," says Nida, lamenting that many of today's songs are "concocted wordings", which fail to find any connect with the storyline.
