Milestone Songs Songs of Chitragupta. (Music Director)

Chitragupt Shrivastava, the famous music composer of Bollywood, of Rafi & Mukesh era, of "Chal Ud Ja Re Panchhi Ke.. from (Film Bhabhi)" fame, hailed from Saran.

Chitragupt was born on 16 November 1917, Karmaini village (Gopalganj district), Bihar. He had a double MA, in Economics & in Journalism.He Worked as a lecturer in Patna before he ran away to Bombay to pursue a career as a composer in films.He assisted S.N. Tripathi for some time before he got an independent opportunity with Ramnik Vaidya in 1946. He tasted success after a struggle in 1952 with the Rafi-Shamshad duet, adaa se jhoomate hue (Sindbad the sailor) hit the music charts and was a hit.

S D Burman recommended him to Meiyappan of AVM studios, and he started with a film Shiv Bhakt in 1955. Bhabhi, Barkha, Main Chup Rahoongi and Main bhi ladki hoon were the other notable ventures of this collaboration. He worked with few big name studios or actors - with Mohan Sehgal, Hrishikesh Mukherjee, G P Sippy, Kishore Sahu and AVM being the exceptions.

He parted ways with his mentor, S N Tripathi, due to their difference in their innovative approaches and ideas from popular Western music. His classical roots are seen in songs like Kishore Kumar's "paayal vaali dekhna" (Ek Raaz), while his modern and light-hearted, foot-tapping music could be sampled in songs like "ham matavale naujavan" (Barkha), "dekho mausam kya bahaar hai" (Opera House). His notable films include Bhabhi, Ek Raaz, Main Chup Rahoongi, Oonche Log, Opera House, Vasna, Zabak etc.

@IMIRZA777

Mirza Ji,

I understand that you can not cover all the songs but some of the songs like :

Muskurao ke jee nahi lagata,Din Raat badalate hai,Chal ud ja re panchhi and chali chali re patang,

Maheslon ne chhin liya,Jis ka Juta usi ka sar,Dene wale kisi ko garibi na de,Ganga ki Lehren title song and Lata-Kishore duet,Songs from film Aulad,Lata song from film Opera House and Sindbad the Sailor duet were some of the songs came to my mind.

Remembering Chitragupta is more imp., Thanks.
