  Madan Mohan Information
Madan Mohan was the son of film mogul Rai Bahadur Chunnilal, who was a partner in the Bombay Talkies studio and then in the Filmistan studio.
Madan did not usually employ Kishore Kumar, as his tunes were complex classical-based compositions and "Kishoreda" had a singing style that was more pop-oriented.
Madan's music was characterized by his immense ability to meld elements of Indian and Western classical music into a new style of Hindi filmi song.

 Madan Mohan lives on
Madan Mohan was born to privilege as the son of Rai Bahadur Chunilal who helped helm the affairs of such famous studios as Bombay Talkies and Filmistan.
To Madan Mohan's consternation, he found that the topmost heroes and banners had already settled into comfortable grooves with their favourite composers (Raj Kapoor-Shankar Jaikishen, Dilip Kumar-Naushad, Dev Anand-S D Burman) leaving little room for a newcomer, however talented, to elbow his way in.
Madan Mohan's keen sense of aesthetics was widely acknowledged and in the 1970s it was sensitive filmmakers like Chetan Anand, Rajinder Singh Bedi (Dastak), Hrishikesh Mukherji (Bawarchi) and Gulzar (Mausam) who collaborated with him.

However, Madan Mohan, as was his wont, did not yield ground and at the cost of opting out of the assignment, insisted for Talat's voice.
Madan Mohan was a disillusioned man in his last days and the void of emptiness on the professional front must have led him to his sad and untimely death.

And Latadi reciprocated to her ‘Madan Bhaiyaa’ in providing that superior quality of sweetness which is entirely impossible to describe.
Madan Mohan’s music truly embodies what Hindi film music should sound like – fit into the story, yet retain its individuality to stand out of it.
While Madan Mohan was known more for his ghazals, earning him the sobriquet of ‘King of Ghazals’, yet he has a vast array of other genre numbers as well, some which I highlighted in an earlier post.
