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. Mangeshkar's career started in 1942 and has spanned over six and a half decades. She sang in over a thousand Bollywood movies and has sung songs in over twenty regional Indian languages, but primarily in Hindi. She is the elder sister of the equally accomplished singer Asha Bhosle and lesser-known singers, brother Hridayanath Mangeshkar and sisters Usha Mangeshkar and Meena Mangeshkar. Lata is the second vocalist ever to have received the Bharat Ratna, India's highest civilian honour.

Mangeshkar was featured in the Guinness Book of World Records from 1974 to 1991 for having made the most recordings in the world.

Awards and recognitions;

Lata Mangeshkar has won several awards and honors, including Padma Bhushan (1969), Padma Vibhushan (1999), Dada Saheb Phalke Award (1989), NTR National Award (1999), Bharat Ratna (2001), three National Film Awards, and 12 Bengal Film Journalists' Association Awards. She has also won four Filmfare Best Female Playback Awards. In 1969, she made the unusual gesture of giving up the Filmfare Best Female Playback Award, in order to promote fresh talent. She was later awarded Filmfare Lifetime Achievement Award in 1993.

In 1984, the State Government of Madhya Pradesh instituted the Lata Mangeshkar Award in honor of Lata Mangeshkar. The State Government of Maharashtra also instituted a Lata Mangeshkar Award in 1992.

Filmfare Awards;

The Filmfare Awards for playback singing first started in 1958. In 1956, the song 'Rasik Balma' from the film Chori Chori won the Best Song Filmfare Award. Lata refused to sing it live in protest of absence of a Playback Singer category. The category was finally introduced in 1958. Though, separate awards for male & female singers were introduced later on.

Lata Mangeshkar monopolized the best female playback singer award from 1958 to 1966. In 1969, Lata made the unusual gesture of giving up Filmfare awards in order to promote fresh talent...........

I hope I am thinking of the correct movie -- the one with Girish Karnard and Shabana.

@shekarman - Tough I did not have a chance to see this film, I am sure you are referring to the same film since it bagged 3 Filmfare awards, namely * 1977 Filmfare Best Actress Award: Shabana Azmi * 1977 Filmfare Best Director Award: Basu Chatterjee * 1977 Filmfare Best Story Award: Sharat Chandra Chatterji.

So as you said, the film HAS to be GOOD!

@balwinder666 - Sorry, I don't have the movie.

[sanjeevchaudhry6]

Another marvellous melody,i really love to tune to this song and with voice of Lata ji making it to pierce through the heart.

[shekarman]

Yuan, this movie is awesome - more than anything it show the trials and tribulations of being the eldest son in a Hindu family (particularly in a joint family situation) -- how he is exploited through guilt and responsibility and the way his wife is treated and God forbid if this couple doesn't have any children. Great movie.
