Music director Ravi is one person who entered Bollywood music scene in 1940s ( as an assistant music director) and he was around for the entire period that is regarded as the golden era of Bollywood music. He in fact can be described as one of the very few such persons who was there when the golden era began and he was still around when that era was over. All this while, he held his own . He was never jobless and he continued to churn out hit songs without fail.

“Amaanat” was a movie starring Manoj Kumar and Sadhana. I find that the date of release of this movie is shown as 1977. Considering that Sadhana had retired from movies in late 1960s, I think that “Amaanat” was a movie picturised in 1960s and accordingly I thought that it was a movie of 1967 rather than 1977.That is the only explanation for the kind of dresses worn by Sadhana and Manoj Kumar in this movie which are incongruous with the dressing styles of 1970s. This movie has an iconic song that goes “matlab nikal gaya hai to pahchaante .”. I am fully convinced that I have been listening to this song from 1960s itself.

And he has left us countless great songs, many of them timeless classics. In fact, most iconic songs of Bollywood have been his creations.

Though it is the music director who gets most of the credit for a song, it is the assistant music director/ music arranger who does the actual legwork, and should get the real credit.
