MAUSIQUI KE SHAHENSHAH..NAUSHAD!


- Manoj Kulkarni


Today is 12th Death Anniversary of king of Indian film music..Naushad Ali!

"Aawaz de kahan hai..Beautiful Noorjehan 
acated-sung in film 'Anmol Ghadi' (1946).
Popularising the use of classical music in cinema..Naushad started composing music for film with 'Prem Nagar' (1940) and became successful music director with movie 'Rattan' (1944).
 
Naushad with Lyricist Shakeel Badayuni.

Then he gave gems of film music like.. 'Anmol Ghadi' (1946), 'Andaz' (1949), 'Dastaan' (1950), 'Deedar' (1951), 'Aan' (1952), 'Amar' (1954), 'Kohinoor' (1960), 'Mughal-E-Aazam' (1960), 'Ganga Jamuna' (1961), 'Mere Mehboob' (1963) & many more such golden jubilee hits!
Vyjayanthimala & Dilipkumar in film 'Leader's (1964)
song "Ek Shahenshah ne banawa ke hasin Tajmahal..."

 
Naushad's music, Shakeel Badayuni's lyrics and.. Mohammed Rafi's voice was a great combination!

Naushad sahab was conferred the 'Dadasaheb Phalake Award' & 'Padma Bhushan' by the Government of India!


Naushadsahab was good Shayar too & a book of his Urdu Poetry 'Aathavan Soor' published!



Remembering meeting this genius and for me it was like 'Anmol Ghadi'!

Humble homage to 'Kohinoor' of Indian film music.. Naushadsahab!!
