Salil Chowdhury, renowned Bollywood Music Director, gave us such immortal classics as in (the songs of) Do Bigha Zamin, Madhumati et al. Growing up in pre-independence India, he had listened to gramophone records of western classical music left behind by homebound English colleagues of his father. This song is his tribute to Mozart (Symphony #40). chhAya, the title of this Hindi movie, literally means shadow in English. Coincidentally, yesterday (Sep 5th) was the late Chowdhury’s 14th anniversary.
The title of this blogpost is intended respectfully to Salilda, RIP
Enjoy Ithna Na Mujhse Tu Pyar Badha ..
