I think, it won’t be a exaggeration, if I say that Madan Mohan enters very frequently into a O P styled or C Ramchandra styled music for his duets. And in a number of Rafi duets, the orchestration sounds similar to O P Nayyar’s style. But in general her duets with Rafi form a large percentage of her duets with male singers. Whereas in the film, Ilzam in 1954, she had two duets with Kishore Kumar. The latter wasn’t an established hero that time and played a secondary role (he was villain in fact) In a film like Mem Sahib (1956), she had no duets with the leading man, Kishore Kumar, but had two duets with Talat, who was singing for Shammi Kapoor. While I was researching for the post, I found that majority of her duets are with Rafi in male singers, while Lata Mangeshkar, Geeta Dutt, Shamshad Begum have appeared for female duets. It wasn’t a popular song, so no one remembers it today. I will present an overview of their association along with the duets and trios or quadruples of Asha Tai, under his music direction.Īs I mentioned in last post, her association with Madan Mohan started with the film Ada in 1951, where she sang a duet with S D Batish. Continuing the same thread, I’m presenting today the concluding part of my post. Last week, I presented solos of Asha Bhosle with Madan Mohan.
