Melodies of Music director Salil Chowdhury
Salil Chowdhury (19 November 1925 – 5 September 1995). Salil da was not only a music director but he was a writer, poet and lyricist too. He has composed music in 13 different languages but his major work is seen in Bengali, Hindi, and Malayalam films. He had profound knowledge of musical instruments like Flute, Esraj, piano, violin etc. and is well reflected in his music. I have listed some of my favorite songs of Salil da in this post.

Every song you have prescribed has memory behind it , may it be anand , choti si baat or ragnigandha.majority of my generation people would have gone reciting these songs in their teenage.
Today also I feel if i can ask her ki itna na muzse pyar jataa, kyuki tasweer teri dil me leke maine saat rang ke sapne chune aur usme maine paya ki kitna sukh hai bandhan me.
All this thanks to Salil da for making our life colourful and romantic. Romance without his song would have been adhura for our gen.
Thanks once again for reigniting the memories.
