Madan Mohan: The melody magician with Midas touch
FirstpostMadan Mohan was much more than the ‘song’-total of the Ghazals for which he was so rightly crowned the emperor of the genre. I really love Talat Saab’s Phir wohi sham wohi gham wohi tanhayee hai in the film Jahan Aara and Rafi Saab’s Aapke pehlu main aakar ro liye in Mera Saaya.” Lataji also lamented the fact that Madan Mohan’s non-ghazal compositions were neglected. There was no limit to his creativity.” Lata Mangeshkar remembers how during the recording of a song for Raj Khosla ’s Mera Saaya some discordant musicians felt the fire of Madan Mohan’s ire: “Madan Bhaiyya had learnt classical music and imbibed the best of the classical singers. From today you’re my sister and I’m your Madan bhaiyya.’” Madan Mohan’s son Sanjeev Kohli recalls how during his childhood his father would make him listen to Lataji carefully. The infallibility of Lata Mangeshkar which I observed when I have personally worked with her.” Perfection of quality attainable only through Lata’s voice was Madan Mohan’s aim for every score, every composition, every note.
