Amidst all the action that is happening this
February, we thought we should slow down and take a quick look back at
some best Bollywood composers, Here is more about Hemant kumar , the man
behind many yesteryear hits.
The evergreen 60's saw some beautiful tracks like Ay dil ab kaheen le jaa from the movie Bluffmaster, which released in the
year 1963. This wonderful song is where the popular composer himself has
lent his voice for this Shammi Kapoor starrer. While talking about
Sammi Kapoor, how can we forget his contemporary Mr.Dev Anand? Ofcourse ,
we all know Hemant has lent his voice for most of Dev Anand's songs.
One striking number is from the movie which released in 1955 - House no.44 comprising the song 'Teri duniya mein jeene se toh behtar hai ke mar jaayein'.
Poignant in nature, the song 'Jaane woh kaise log thhe jinke' from the movie 'Pyaasa'is definitely a no-miss when we are
talking about Hemant's best songs. The list is ofcourse incomplete if we
missed out on Tum pukaar lo tumhaara intezaar hai from the movie
Khamoshi. In this song, we witness the beautiful picturization of
Dharmendra and Waheeda Rahman's romance.
This unsung genius' other wonderful track includes '
Tumhe Yaad Hoga', 'Yaad kiya dil ne' , 'Yeh Jhoomte Nazare'. Hemant
infact has sung many songs with Lata Mangeshkar and one popular number
that cannot not be mentioned is 'Yeh raat yeh chandni phir'. Hemant Kumar started composing first for Bengali films after which he diverged
into the bollywood industry. His last compositions were in the late
years of the 1980's.
Hemant Kumar Mukhopadhyay has definitely left a
legacy behind. Winner of the prestigious awards like the Filmfare Awards
etc, he is remembered by many for his contribution in the Bollywood
industry.
