Hello Mirza Sahib,

Salil Chowdhury was talented in many ways. But in the beginning most the music he made was from Bengali folk songs. It was Madhumati in which he began some style but very limited. It was Bimal Roy who gave Salil the very first assignment in Do Bigah Zameen. His favorite singers were Talat Mahmood Mukesh and Lata.

@RealMusicKing

Taste in music is subjective and personal. There is never any right or wrong. But in many ways the best of Salilda was BEFORE he did Madhumati. He mainly did political songs in Bengali which are so rich and varied that they are equally popular today. He adapted himself to Bombay industry by toning DOWN his distinctive style. Despite this flashes of his originality and distinctiveness can be felt here too. BW>

@sds1943 I don't think any composer can get credit for using "Folk Tunes" which are usually hummed by peasants and laborers. Political songs or songs to please politcal leaders in local languages also hold no place since they were not part of main stream. Salil & other musicians/music directors flocked to Bombay mainly for financial reasons and that it had become the center of film industry for decades to come. He also copied quite a bit from western tunes. Some good work is credited to him

@RealMusicKing : I would like to add something more. No offence meant to Salil Chowdhay here. Salil also used many of his tunes in more than one language, often in as many as three languages. Many a time I would get hold of a Salil song that I had not heard before and would be somewhat disappointed since the song would turn out to have a tune already heard in another language...In fact, there is a website that lists many of his songs as also the versions of those songs in other languages ,if any

@RealMusicKing Sure he gave more time in Bombay than Kolkata, because of financial cause and many Bengali went to Bombay in the 40's to 60's and I can say that they were better than other indian languages. He better gave more time in Bengali, but Kolkata was neglected by the Indian govt after independence. He was a great poet, music director and all rounder you can say. Tell me one Indian, who has multiple talent like him? none.........................

[RealMusicKing]

@bazlur Even before independence, Bombay began becoming the center for the film industry. Anil Biswas, S.D. Burman came to Bombay for that reason. Salil did have talents but his music know how,was very minute(my-nute). Plenty of multi talented people. D.N. Madhok and Prem Dhawan to name just a few. No offence against any language but let's face it, just as English is the global language, Hindi / Urdu is for the Sub-Continent. Regards.

My compliments to IMIRZA for pikcing up the Real TOP ones of Salijee's vast composition of great tuens.

'straight adaptations '!!!!!....please do not make such irresponsible comments.

Mozart never composed the antras and interludes that Salil da did in 'Itna na mujhse'...Also Salil da's mukhda melody is about 2 bars longer from the Mozart's composition SO HERE IS NO QUESTION OF 'straight adaptations '. Let us recognize that here was a REAL VOLCANO OF TALANT- MUSICALLY AND POETICALLY!!

 That picture from his teen years at the beginning shows his eyes reflecting a profound aesthetic potential, wha tmay be called artistic wisdom in the making. His career fully lived up to the rich promise of those eyes. And you chose the best of his melodies to adorn the start of this upload-- those from Madhumati and Do Bigha Zameen. Thanks, Mirzaji.
