His songs have a simplicity, yet they are woven with such chaste choice of words from Hindi language.

The sounds of “Yashomati Maiyyaa Se Bole Nandlala”, (‘Satyam, Shivam, Sundaram’, 1978) or “Bhanwre Ne Khilaaya Phool Phool Ko Le Gayaa Raaj Kunwar” (‘Prem, Rog’, 1982), or “Tum Aasha Vishwaas Hamaare” (‘Subah’, 1982) are very endearing to the heart.

The year is 1948, and the film name – ‘Mala, The Mighty’. The name sounds like a Nadia film. Well, almost. It is a Basant Pictures production directed by John Cowas, but the leading lady is Leela and not Nadia. But any way, a stunt film in the late 1940s, and it is a fair chance that the music director will be Chitragupt. Yes, you got it right.
