Here in this blog we discuss songs from Hindi movies on a daily basis. Since we discuss songs so it is natural that we discuss the people also who are involved in the making of these songs. They could be the singers, lyricists or the music directors, or they could be actors figuring in the picturisation of these songs. Rougly speaking, this blog by now had 6280 plus songs from 2000 plus movies. Over three hundred singers, over three hundred lyricists, and over two hundred music directors have been discussed in the blog so far. I have not counted the number of actors figuring in these songs, but that number is likely to be more than three hundreds as well.

July 17th is the birth anniversary of Snehal Bhatkar ( 17/07/1919 – 29/05/2007), one of the forgotten music directors of the Hindi film industry. On his last death anniversary, I had written an article on him for this blog. So I would skip his profile. Snehal Bhatkar was a talented music director who, like many lesser known music directors, lost in the rigmarole of the Hindi film industry.
