This article is written by Sadanand Kamath, a fellow enthusiast of Hindi movie music and a regular contributor to this blog.
Ravi’s debut film was Vachan (1955) but I first came to know about him through the songs of Chaudhvin Ka Chaand) (1960). He was music director for many successful films like Gumrah (1963), Waqt (1965), Khandaan (1965) Do Badan (1965), Kaajal(1965), Phool Aur Patthar (1966), Aankhen (1968) to quote a few. He was one of the popular music directors of Hindi films produced in the South. He wrote the popular song ‘cat mane billi’ for Dilli Ka Thug (1958). From 70s onwards, his musical assignments started declining and by later part of 80s, he was almost retired from the Hindi film industry. With his demise, we have lost one more veteran music director of the golden era of Hindi filmsongs.
May his soul rest in peace.

Gunaahon ka diyaa thha haq

“Ye Raaste Hain Pyaar Ke” (1963) was based on a real life story, but the Indian censors, movie makers as well as the Indian audience were not matured enough to deal with the subjet. As a result, the topic got diluted, trivialised and sensdanalised to such an extent that the end product was no longer a faithful representation of the case that this movie was based on. In any case, the movie makers had their disclaimer ready (just in case) that their story bore no resemblence to any persons or incidents.

I have commented in the past that Hindi movie songs are mostly based on topics that are of interest to Indians. But often there are day to day activities that have sadly gone underrepresented in Hindi movie songs.
