Forgotten Melodies of the 1940s – 21

‘Do Music Directors direct the music?’
This is the title of an article appeared about 72 years ago in June 1943 issue of FILMINDIA magazine. I had read the title of the article more than a year back but did not go through it at that time thinking that it must have been written by some staff of the magazine. Recently, when I came across the same article, I was surprised to find that the article was written by Ramchandra Pal, the music director who has composed music for Bombay Talkies films like ‘Kangan’ (1939), ‘Bandhan’ (1940), ‘Punar Milan’ (1940), ‘Naya Sansar’ (1941) and many more films in other banners mainly in the 40s. The article is well written.

If I were to define ‘Assistant Music Directors’ in the context of Bollywood, I will define them as those talented musicians whose talents are exploited by some of the top music directors for furthering their own brand of music in Bollywood. No doubt, they are paid for the job and their contributions may be appreciated by the masters, but there is no recognition from the public at large for their talents. They remain the unsung artists among many other musicians who contribute to the success of film music.
