Ramchandra Narhar Chitalkar (1918-1982) was a renowned music composer in the movie industry in India. In the composer's role, he mostly used the name C. Ramachandra, though he also used the names Annasaheb (in the movies "Bahadur Pratap", "Matwale", and "Madadgaar"), Ram Chitalkar (in the movies "Sukhi Jeevan", "Badla", "Mr. Jhatpat", "Bahadur", and "Dosti"), and Shyamoo (in the movie "Yeh Hai Duniya"). Further, he often sang and acted in Marathi movies under the name R. N. Chitalkar. For his career as an occasional playback singer he used only his surname Chitalkar. Chitalkar sang some renowned and unforgettable duets with Lata such as "Kitna Haseen Hai Mausam" in film Azad or "Shola Jo Bhadke" in Albela.

Ramachandra was born in 1918 in Puntamba, a small town in Ahmednagar district in Maharashtra, India. He studied music under Vinayakbua Patwardhan at "Gandharva Mahavidyalaya". He joined the movie industry playing the lead role in Y. V. Rao's movie, "Naganand". He also had some small roles at Minerva Movietone in the movies "Saeed-e-Havas" and "Atma Tarang".

Ramachandra provided harmonium accompaniment for Minerva composers Bindu Khan and Habib Khan. He debuted as music director in Tamil movies with Jayakkodi and Vanamohini. He received public notice as a good composer in Bhagwan Dada's "Sukhi Jeevan", and established a long association that culminated with the musical box office hit "Albela".............

One of the most innovative and experimental of Hindi film music directors, C.Ram chandra occupies the same position as R.D.Burman did later on.But the difference is that whereas RD was doing experiment for the sake of doing it, mostly outraging the musical taste ofthe cine-goers, C.Ramchandra did wonderful things with his fertile imagination. His numbers , 'Ana meri jan Sunday ke Sunday,Gore gore O banke chhore' and many such 'westernized' compositions took Hindi film music many miles ahead, inspiring future generation of music directors to add richer dimensions. He was capable of a wide range of tuneful compositions, exemplified in 'Anarkali', 'Shinshnati Bubla Boo' and 'Barish'. He could create lilting love songs, gossamer lullabies, haunting ghazals and nimble- tuned racy western songs, Compared to RD, C.Ramchandra stands far higher by virtue of his essential sense of musicality of songs................

Lata Mangeshkar (Marathi: लता मंगेशकर; born September 28, 1929) is a singer from India. She is one of the best-known playback singers in the Hindi film industry.
