Man Dole Mera Tan Dole, (Nag)inarguably
one of the most popular Hindi film songs of all time, was penned by Rajinder
Krishan and rendered by Lata Mangeshkar.
The music of the
instrument played by snake-charmers – the song’s highlight – has been credited to Ravi Shankar Sharma (known
mononymously as Ravi) and Kalyanji Virji Shah.
While the former
played the harmonium, the latter played the clavioline.
The duo, who
assisted composer Hemant Kumar then, went on to become well-known music
directors in their own right.
Shah teamed up
with his younger brother Anandji to embellish numerous potboilers.
