When C Ramchandra
began composing the music of Anarkali,
he had immense faith in Lata Mangeshkar’s ability to pull off what he’d
envisaged.
And he stood vindicated
when the movie became 1953’s top grosser, and Yeh Zindagi Usi Ki Hai – inarguably the most popular song from the
film – went on to top the annual list of Radio Ceylon’s countdown show, Binaca Geetmala, that year.
This immortal
classic was penned by Rajendra Krishan, who formed, with Annasaheb (another of
Ramchandra’s aliases), one of the greatest music director/lyricist teams in the
Golden Era of Hindi film music.
