C Ramchandra AKA Chitalkar

This was a unique music director because he was also a singer. He was a big hit in the era of black and white Hindi films, and used a lot of rhythm, and a blend of Western and Indian styles. Many of his songs were superhits of his time, and aficianados like them even today. Check out some of these-

1. Mere piya gaye Rangoon, wahan se kiya hai telephoon. This is sung over a telephone, and is conversational in style. Bhagwan Dada is the male actor.
