Ajit Merchant, a leading music director for Gujarati films and for the theatre world in Bombay, passed away about 4 months ago (18th March, 2011). He was 80 plus. Although better known for his work in the Gujarati cinema, he did compose music for Hindi movies, albeit a small number. By some accounts, his offerings in the Hindi film world number less than 10. An accomplished music director, Ajit Merchant gave a first important break to a struggling Jagjit Singh in the late 60s. Raj Kapoor was also a fan of Ajit Merchant. It is said that after hearing the song “mari ankh no afini tara roop no bandhani . . .” (from the Gujarati film “Divadndi” he requested Shankar Jaikishan also to listen to it. The result of this reference was the song “Mera joota hai japaani” from film Shri 420, based on the tune of the Gujarati song.

On checking, I found that I had not discussed this song, rather I had discussed the other well known song from this movie sung by Mukesh (Main dhoondhta hoon jinko ).
