Today is the birth anniversary of Roshan (14 july 1917- 16 november 1967). In his 18 year long career, which was cut short in his prime, he composed music for 52 movies. This blog has 176 songs from as many as 49 of these movies. It is a matter of time before this blog will have almost all Roshan compositions that are available.

I am fond of saying that Bollywood movies have one great “Chitthi” (letter) song every decade, beginning from 1960s. Thus we had Likhe jo khat tujhe(Kanyadaan)(1968) in 1960s, Daakiya daak laaya(Palkon ki chhaon mein)(1977) (Palkon Ki Chhaaon Mein” in 1970s, “Chitthi aayi hai aayi hai” (Naam) in 1980s and Sandese aate hain(Border)(1997) (Border) in 1990s. All these songs are already posted in this blog.
