Died on 14.07.1975 at Mumbai, India.
Madan Mohan is another of my favourite Music Directors, a man behind so many classic songs, ghazals. He was credited for bringing out the best from his singers like Talat Mehmood, Mohd. Rafi and specially Lata Mangeshkar, with whom he had given some of the best songs of hindi films.
Even after his death when 'Veer-Zaara' was released with Madan's unused tunes recreated by his son, Sanjeev Kohli, the songs were a hit and appreciated everywhere.
His first film as music director was Aankhen (1950).
Though he got nominated four times, he never won a Filmfare Award for Best Music Director. He won National Film Award for Best Music Direction for Dastak (1971).
From today onwards, I will review Madan's music as well as my favourites with you.
