Hola readers! Yo Mr. DJ is back on the floor once again, with an exciting and unique collection of duets of all times. Over the years, the Indian film Industry has given us numerous legendary singer, who have put their soul into their music. To name a few, Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhosle, Udit Narayan and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan are internationally recognized voices from India. They have entertained us for decades now, and continue to set the benchmark for all the new talent. However, along with the golden senior singers, we also have a very talented crop in the form of the next generation of singers, who with their soulful singing have managed to make a place of their own alongside the singing legends of Bollywood. And when you combine both the experienced maestros and the fresh voices, you get some of the best music of the industry! Taking this opportunity, BollyCurry brings to you a duet of old and new singers, and their collaboration.
 
Lata Mangeshkar and Sonu Niigam - Veer Zaara
 
"Do Pal Ruka Khwabon Ka Karwa, Phir Chal Diye, Tum Kahan Hum Kahaan". This legendary song is perhaps one of the most heart touching songs the music industry has ever produced. The soft vocals of Lata Mangeshkar and Sonu Niigam really seem to resonate in your heart and leave you in a mellow haze. This  legendary song from the blockbuster movie Veer Zara, picturized on ShahRukh Khan and Preity Zinta, made waves upon its release. The Nightingale of India and the Man of Many Voices created magic with their soulful rendition in this piece. It couldn't have been done better, and the audience awaits for yet another soulful single from the duo.
 
 
The duet of Udit Narayan and Shreya Ghosal began with the latter's debut song in the film fraternity "Bairi Piya". The romantic number from the movie Devdas was loved by one and all. At this point, everyone was in awe with Narayan's voice. But it was Shreya Ghoshal who won hearts with her innocent, yet very musical, voice. The song was picturized on Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Shahrukh Khan, and the vocal qualities of Narayan and Ghoshal really brought the song alive. Since that day, the duo have stood strong and collaborated on numerous songs together and managed to produce one brilliant piece after the other.
 
 
"Jag Soona Soona Laage.. Jag Soona Soona Lage Re". This song is perhaps one of the most heart wrenching songs in the past few decades. The combination of the soulful Rahat Fateh Ali Khan and high pitched Richa Sharma was the perfect thing needed to carry the beautiful lyrics to the deepest layers of your heart. Their voices really compliment each other, and when they come together, especially with strong lyrics such as these, no one can stop them from creating a masterpiece.
 
 
Asha Bhosle is one of the most melodious voices in the industry and "Rangeela Re" is one of her best creations! She sung perfectly throughout the song, leaving you feeling light and happy. The addition of young Aditya Narayan's adorable voice makes you smile as it gives the perfect amount of kick to the song. Urmila Matondkar is seen dancing her way through the song, giving Asha Ji's voice a whole new meaning. The duet was unique, yet very enjoyable and we wish to hear a new collaboration soon.
 
 
The slow romantic number "O Saathi Re" is sung in the melodious voices of Shreya Ghoshal and Vishal Bhardwaj. Their vocals really blend well in this collaboration, taking the listener to another level. What completes the song in every sense is Gulzaar's soothing lyrics, making this song one of the ultimate romantic numbers of all times. This is Bhardwaj and Ghoshal's only duet till date, but we are eagerly waiting for another song, so they can once again bring magic to our ears.
 
And with this we come to an end with our shortlisted collaborations of duets. The above list tells us that music doesn't need any age, and when you combine golden singers with fresh talent you end up with some unique songs. Have you ever had the opportunity to listen to these amazing duets? If not go ahead and play then, and tell us, which duet is your favorite and whom you would want to hear again.
