In my previous
post about a Mahendra Kapoor song, I pointed out that his break came by way of
a contest.
The panel of judges
comprised five composers, including C Ramchandra, who composed the music of Navrang (1959).
It included two
duets rendered by the singer and Asha Bhosle. One of them was Aadha Hai Chandrama (which could be
translated to, “It is a half-moon night and it’s midnight. But our meeting and
conversation shouldn’t remain unfinished.”)
It wouldn’t be
incorrect to say that the track, which V(y)as penned by Bharat, provided Kapoor
a breakthrough.
