Maheshji

Many thanks again for this one. It is unfortunate that MD of calibre of Chitragupta, Vinod and even Husnalal Bhagatram had to give music to low budget movies at the end of their career.

Probably it was too tough for many MDs to sustain when S J were at the peak of their popularity..

My 2 cents !

Parag

Here is an article on Music Director Chitragupt ji. Geeta ji sang maximum songs under his baton and he composed over 30 duets of Geeta ji and Mohd Rafi sahab.

Here is the article :

Chitragupt Shrivastava, the famous music composer of Hindi cinema was born in a village Karmaini, Bihar on 16 November, 1917. He had a double MA, in Economics ∓ in Journalism. He Worked as a lecturer in Patna before he ran away to Bombay to pursue a career as a composer in films. He assisted S. N. Tripathi for some time before he got an independent opportunity with Ramnik Vaidya in 1946. He tasted success after a lot of struggle in 1952 with the release of Sindbad The Sailor, the duet 'Adaa Se Jhoomte Hue..', beacme a hit.

S. D. Burman recommended him to Meiyappan of AVM studios, and he started with a film Shiv Bhakt in 1955. Bhabhi, Barkha, Main Chup Rahoongi and Main bhi ladki hoon were the other notable ventures of this collaboration. He worked with few big name studios or actors - with Mohan Sehgal, Hrishikesh Mukherjee, G. P. Sippy, Kishore Sahu and AVM being the exceptions. He parted ways with his mentor, S. N. Tripathi, due to their difference in their innovative approaches and ideas from popular Western music. His classical roots are seen in songs like Kishore Kumar's "Paayal Waali Dekhna.." from Ek Raaz, while his modern and light-hearted, foot-tapping music could be sampled in songs like 'Dekho Mausam Kya Bahaar Hai..' from Opera House. His notable films include Bhabhi, Ek Raaz, Main Chup Rahoongi, Oonche Log, Opera House, Vasna, Zabak etc.

Chitragupt was also a good singer and lyricist. He worked with all the major lyricists of the time like, Majrooh Sultanpuri, Rajinder Krishan, Anand Bakshi, Prem Dhawan and even Sahir Ludhianvi. After Sahir Ludhianvi agreed to write to the tunes Chitragupt composed, they produced some wonderful songs for Vaasna - 'Ye Parbaton Ke Daayre..' and 'Itni Naazuk Na Bano..'. When it came to Bhojpuri films, Chitragupt was the ruling king, He composed music for some very memorable Bhojpuri films like, 'Ganga Maiya Tohe Piyari Chadhaube', 'Laagi Naahi Chhute Rama' and 'Gangaa'. He also composed the music for a few Punjabi and Gujarati films.

He suffered a heart attack in 1968 and a paralytic stroke in 1974. He died on the 14th of January 1991. His children include Anand and Milind, the famous composer duo who created some memorable songs for Mansoor Khan's Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak, and Sulakshana and Vijayeta Pandit, the singer-actresses have also made an impact on the film world.
