When I did a post on it was natural that I should do one on Subir Sen as well. One connection between the two was that among the most famous Kamal Barot songs is a duet with Subir Sen Dil le ke jate ho kahan.

Another similarity would be that he was also not among the top singers. But there was a vital difference between the two.

While Kamal Barot had a distinct voice which you could recognise miles away, Subir Sen’s was indistinguishable from Hemant Kumar. Not much biographical detail is available about him except that he was also like Hemant Kumar a popular and prolific singer in Bengali. Many of his Hindi film songs are quite well known, but unless you know that he was the singer, you might attribute them to Hemant Kumar. Not that he was making any conscious effort to copy Hemant Kumar like some top singers who, at least at the beginning of their careers, consciously imitated the style of whoever was their idol at the time. Subir Sen was what I would call an involuntary Hemant Kumar clone.

You could tell apart CH Atma from KL Saigal, Suman Kalyanpur from Lata Mangeshkar, but it was almost impossible to distinguish Subir Sen from Hemant Kumar. So one reason for doing this post was also to remember his best songs, which are obviously very melodious, so that we give the credit to him in case we were mistakenly attributing them to Hemant Kumar. And here are my favourite songs. Aa ja re nain dware by Subir Sen from Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka Raja (1961), music Shankar Jaikishan This song has been a most amazing discovery I made very recently, and I instantly fell in love with it. From this film I was aware of Talat Mahmood – Lata Mangeshkar duet Tum to dil ke taar chhed kar. But if you stumble upon an undiscovered gem it has a special fascination.

And that perhaps explains why I put it at the top of my list. This is a background devotional song when you see a group of pilgrims on a boat swaying to its rhythm, then you come across a huge religious congregation at the bank of a river – has to be either Kumbh or a holy Ganga Darshan day such as Kartik Purnima. Even if you are not particularly religious you would appreciate the way the song is able to capture the faith of millions of Indians towards India’s holy places and rivers. It seems this song has multiple versions – apart from the Subir Sen version, there are also a solo by and a duet. Seeing so many riches I can not help wondering why this song remained hidden for so long.

Gori tere natkhat naina waar kare chhup jaye by Subir Sen and Geeta Dutt in Hum Bhi Insaan Hain (1959), music Hemant Kumar It was typical of those times for singer composers to promote budding singers without any sense of jealousy or potential threat of competition to themselves. The most celebrated case of such generosity was of the actor-singer-composer Pankaj Mallik who played a big role in promoting KL Saigal. Dil le ke jate ho kahan by Subir Sen and Kamal Barot in O Tera Kya Kahna (1959) by Kalyanji Virji Shah This is one of the earliest films of Kalyanji Virji Shah when he started solo till he joined soon after with his brother to form the famed duo Kalyanji Anandji. He shows his great flair for melody notwithstanding the fact that it was a B-grade movie with Mehmood and Chitra as the lead actors. Dil mera ek aas ka panchhi by Subir Sen in Aas Ka Panchhi (1961), music Shankar Jaikishan. This is perhaps the best known song of Subir Sen. Rajendra Kumar releases a bird free and, as it soars in the sky, he wistfully looks at it.

He then leads his group of NCC cadets on cycles singing this song of everyone’s desire to soar in the sky like a bird. This song transports you back to your NCC days. Dheere chalao zara by Subir sen and Lata Mangeshkar in Aas Ka Panchhi (1961) This is the second song from Aas Ka Panchhi figuring in my list.

This is one of the joyous love duets in which the hero Rajendra Kumar is giving Vaijayantimala a ride in his car, perhaps driving a bit too fast out of bravado, prompting her to plead with him to drive slowly. The remarkable thing about this song was that I always thought the male singer to be Mukesh. Even after listening very carefully I find very strong resemblance to Mukesh style in some parts. Incidentally Mukesh-Lata had a duet in this film. Main rangeela pyar ka raahi by Subir Sen and Lata Mangeshkar in Chhoti Bahan, (1959 ) music Shankar Jaikishan. You again have a joyous duet between lovers, now in a horse carriage. The actors may not be mainstream stars.

Even with Mahmood and Shobha Khote as stars you could have great songs. Humein un rahon par chalna hai by Subir Sen in Masoom (1960), music Robin Banerji. This must have been the inspiration for composed by Naushad, sung by Hemant Kumar in Ganga Jamuna (1961) 8. Manzil wohi hai pyar ke rahi badal gaye from Kathputli (1957), music Shankar Jaikishan SJ seemed to have a special liking for Subir Sen – they account for his most well known songs.

In this song Balraj Sahni sings this melodious song on the piano, which makes Vaijayantimala break into a dance, but from the plaintive wording of the song and the actors’ glances and emotions it is difficult to figure out the state of their relationship – was there some setback, but they were still in love? Gar tum bura na maano main tumse pyar kar loon by Subir Sen and Asha Bhosle in Mahlon Ke Khwab (1960), music S Mohinder This picture was produced by Madhubala who also played the lead role against Pradeep Kumar. 10 Dekho na jao ae jane man from Boyfriend (1961), music Shankar Jaikishan You had a Subir Sen song in Mukesh style in A as Ka Panchhi. Now SJ make him sing in Mohammad Rafi style on Shammi Kapur, this is the typical Shammi Kapur naughty teasing style which SJ and OP Nayyar patented with songs by Rafi. Now while I am quite clear he did not imitate Hemant Kumar – he was born with a voice like him, I can not help feeling that there was conscious effort in imitating Mukesh and Rafi. Pyar mein milna sanam hota hai taqdeer se by Subir Sen and Lata Mangeshkar from Ardhangini (1959), music Vasant Desai Though Raj Kumar and Meena Kumari came together in several films, it is difficult to see Raj Kumar as a typical romantic lover. So you have this couple singing a somewhat unusual romantic duet on the screen, which must be one of their earliest pairings.

Needless to say it is Subir Sen’s likeness to Hemant Kumar that makes this duet especially appealing. This is a very good song to conclude this post with, but in case you want to end with fast paced numbers you could hear Subir Sen –Geeta Dutt duet composed by Kalyanji Anandji, lyric by Qamar Zalalabadi in the B-grade movie Gangu (1962) starring Chandrashekhar and Naaz in lead roles; and another नोंक झोंक song by Subir Sen from film Passport (1961) music by Kalyanji Anandji. Laxmikant Pyarelal who were assistants to KA must have learnt their melody and lilting style from them.

The fast paced song is picturised on the wonder non-actor Pradeep Kumar and the ever alluring Madhubala rebuffing his advances as she did with many other heroes in several movies. Even with this recapitulation the key questions remains – if you hear these songs a year hence would you be able to tell confidently that they are Subir Sen’s and not Hemant Kumar’s? And you’re so right about Subir Sen sounding a lot like Hemant – even though Hemant was the first singer I learnt to identify when I was a child, I always find it very difficult, even now, to tell whether a song has been sung by Hemant or by Subir Sen. (Right now, I’m listening to Humein un raahon par chalna hai, which I thought, till now, was a Hemant song). Thanks for introducing me to so many Subir Sen songs – the only ones I’ve known till now had been the ones from Aas ka Panchhi and Kathputli, and Main rangeela pyaar ka raahi. (By the way, to answer your question: in the song from Kathputli, there is actually no romantic relationship between the two characters – he is a theatre manager and director, she is an actress.

The very romantic overtones of the song had puzzled me too until I saw the film). April 14, 2011 at 12:48 pm.

@arvind Thanks. Grateful for your teaser. I had heard of Dwijen Mukherji’s resemblance to Hemant Kumar, but for the first time became aware of it, even though I had heard the song, mentally attributing it to Hemant Kumar. Now in a competition of who was more like Hemant Kumar, Dwijen Mukherji should win over Subir Sen. Dwijen Mukherji sings Ae dil kahan teri manzil Another gain from your teaser was that I dscovered it had a Lata Mangeshkar version too, so this is another addition to my. It further consolidates my premise that in twin songs the male version is far superior to the female version. Lata Mangeshkar sings Ae dil kahan teri manzil arvind April 17, 2011 at 12:59 pm.

Thank you AK for locating so many gems of my favourite singer. Subir Sen and Jagjit Kaur are two artists who have been heard very rarely, but all their songs are true gems. Subir had a guest appearance in the movie Anubhav starring Sanjiv Kumar and Tanuja. He appeared as himself in a party scene to sing Tagore’s famous bengali song ‘She din dujone’. This song from Rabindra Sangeet was earlier adapted by SD Burman for Suraiyya’s ‘Nain diwane’ in the 1950 film Afsar.

I have failed to find an audio or video of Subir’s version on the net. April 18, 2011 at 11:59 am. @pkbasu You are very lavish in your praise. As you could see my blog is a journey more स्वांतः सुखाय. If some friends and readers join me on the way to share my joy it is an added bonus. Aarti Mukheji has sung very few songs in Hindi, it would be difficult to find enough songs for a blog exclusively on her. I know she is big in Bengalee.

There are a number of such singers from regional languages who came fleetingly in Hindi. From South there was PV Srinivas in early 1960s. On the other hand there are others who became big such as Yesudas, SP Balasubramaniam. Whether politics stopped Aarti’s, or other female singers’ of the generation, advance is a big minefield I would like to avoid.

There is a lot of anecdotal stuff about the two faces of Lata Mangeshkar – public image of divine, private of a ruthless person. I see her as a divine singer. Subodh Agrawal September 17, 2011 at 11:26 pm.

AK ji, Some more info about SUBIR SEN. It was Guru dutt who called him to Bombay for singing and Salil da helped him. He had made a guest appearance in the film ANUBHAV,as a Rabindra sangeet singer. Download Gratis Aplikasi Keluar Masuk Barang on this page.

He has done more that 4oo songs in Bengali and Hindi together. He completed 75 years of age in 2009 and there was a big function in Eden Garden,Kolkata.He is leading a peaceful contented life in Kolkata these days. He had composed music for a film ‘MIDNIGHT’,produced and released in England in 1970,in which Rafi,Asha,Geeta and Subir sen himself sang songs. Dwijen Mukherjee,Hemant kumar and Subir sen were called TRIDEV in Bengal-3 bodies,one voice. -AD November 16, 2011 at 12:22 am. I have very recently chanced upon this wonderful site and now cannot pass a single day without accessing one of the many wonderful articles / comments. While listening to song No.

3 ” Dil leke jaateho kana” from the film “O tera kya kehna” I get the feeling that Laxmikant Pyarelal may have assisted the Late Kalyanji Shah in composing this song, and then used the basic notes to come out with a similar sounding ” Main Shayar to Nahin” in “Bobby”. Am sure some of our friends could throw some light. November 5, 2013 at 10:06 pm. AKji, Thank you for welcoming me to the SoY family. While I admit, that I do not possess much knowledge as compared to the other contributors, I share their passion about old film songs and reading about those who created these gems. Can u let me know if there is any site which provides information about MDs and the films where they played the role of Assistants or Arrangers in earlier films?.

Your clarification at 22 has inspired me to seek out those songs composed by MDs which were “based on” / “similar to”/”inspired by” their own earlier compositions as Assistants /Arrangers. Am sure some of our other members in this SoY family may already done some research on this and already have a such a list. Hope they could share it. Festival greetings to all the SoYites. H.M.Salian November 6, 2013 at 5:04 pm. Harishchandra Salian, We all at the SoY are essentially amateur music lovers. So please feel free to contribute whatever comes to your mind.

That is how we are learning from each other. What you are looking for is second-order information, or analysis. I do not think any site would have information quite exactly like that. But have very good basic information.

Hindi Film Geet Kosh is, of course, the mother of all the basic information. My own experience is that most of us are getting wonderful information by browsing the internet, partly planned, but mostly serendipitously. Some of the good sites I have mentioned in ‘LINKS’ on the right side of the blog. JP January 21, 2014 at 11:22 pm. Anil Kane, Sharmaji, Yes, I have a huge weakness for Hemant Kumar. Therefore, anything by Subir Sen or Dwijen Mukherjee would be very charming.

All the five songs are very nice. But the most melodious to me was Duniya na dekhe zamana na jaane. It has the typical orchestration of Salil Chaudhary. Naam mera Nimmo, though somewhat atypical of Salil Chaudhary, is very infectious with Helen’s fast-paced dance, accompanied by Bhagwan and Chandrashekhar.

So between Subir Sen and Dwijen Mukherjee, can we say who is a closer clone of Hemant Kumar (no disrespect meant)? Since they were big names in Bengali songs, I am curious to now how the listeners distinguished them. Subir Sen’s swan song. Shall we give this credit to Anubhav (1971), (comment #14), in which he sang She din dujone live? June 11, 2014 at 12:13 am. AK ji, I am coming back to this post after a gap as I found some other topics more fascinating. But the rarity of Subir Sen songs was always there in my mind.

Here are two duets, sung by Subir Sen with Suman Kalyanpur; Baharien luta ke nazare dikha ke from ‘Anarbala’, music by Bulo C Rani, and Chand tale jhoom jhoom, thirak rahi hain ghoonghar waliyan from ‘Jab Se Tumhe Dekha Hai’, music by Dattaram. The class of Bulo C Rani and melody of Dattaram do speak of themselves in these songs. One more singer comes to my mind, when we speak about singers whose’ voices were close to Hemant Kumar. Surendra Kohli, who played a second fiddle to Asha Bhonsle in the song from Gul e Bakavli, music by Hansraj Behl sounds singing in the Hemant mode to me. Ye keh do tumhe hum se kya chahiye, Hame dard e dil ki dawa chahiye.

Major part of the song has been sung by Asha, it seems that the MD was not fully confident of Surendra Kohli’s capability. Another excellen song which is nearly forgotten. June 11, 2014 at 2:14 pm. Hemant Mukherjee was multitalented, his voice had no comparison, he was a legend. He was a music director par excellence and singer par excellence. Cbt Nuggets Crack Download Offline Google. His deep velvety sonorous honey dripping sweet voice was incomparable. If you are a big fan of Hemant Mukherjee you can definitely make out whether it was Hemanto da, Dwijen Mukherjee or Subir Sen.

Hemanto da was born in 1920, Dwijen was born in 1927 and Subir in 1934. Hemanto da had made a mark for himslef long before the other two came into the scene.

Subirs voice often sounds somewhat similar but his voice was neither so melodious or neither so deep. Dwijens voice was definitely deep and far more closer to Hemanto da than Subir’s was but then Hemanto da was the original, and the best and the most talented of them all. You have done a wonderful job in pointing out Subir Sen’s voice to so many people, otherwise they attributed it to Hemanto da and some even wondered in some songs why is this voice not sounding so rich and deep, Subir Sen was good, but definitely not great. Dwijen was far better than Subir, but can never be said to be at par with Hemanto da. Though I feel Dwijen should have got more songs in hindi.

In Bengali industry too Hemanto da dominated and it was him and Manna Dey sahab who sang most of the songs for Uttam Kumar and Soumitra or for that matter for any other Hero. Dwijen and Subir were never preferred over Hemanto. Hemanto da also made Subir sing for him under his music direction, such was the legend of the man.

He was a gentleman and so secure about himself and was always willing to help youngsters and new entrants. Srimaanto Sen October 31, 2014 at 3:58 am. U wish to hear Dwijen, go to this link, u will see his voice is very very similar to Hemanto da. While Dwijen did not get much chance in Bengali films bit since he was a very good singer with a good range he sang path breaking songs “shyamal boroni ogo kanya” and “klaanti naame go” for Salil.

This album helped Dwijen tremendously. Its phenomenal success followed with other very successful Salil compositions such as “akdin phire jaabo chole”, “pallabini go sancharini” etc. One of his rare and beautiful records must be Salil’s brilliant composition of Michael Madhusudan Datta’s two poems – “rekhomaa daasere mone” and “aashaar chhalane bhooli”.

Salil later invited him to Bombay to sing in a few Hindi films notably Madhumati, Maya, Honeymoon, Jawahar,and Sapan Suhaane. October 31, 2014 at 9:19 am. Yes, ur words are very true, it is sad indeed, his voice was so good, even in high range and low range it was like Hemanto da, there was only a very slight difference in the tone and in some pronunciations. We could all the more make out because Hemanto da’s songs r so so famous in Bengali, so we knew this was sung by Hemanto da and this was not, this was our advantage too. Dwijen babu is still alive and was felicitated by Mamata Bannnerjee when she became CM. He became a very famous Rabindra sangeet exponent and has sung many many rabidrasangeets. November 8, 2014 at 2:03 pm.

Resemblance with Hemant Kumar’s voice is not the only reason for Subir Sen not getting enough opportunity to sing in Hindi films.Actually he was under contractual obligation with Shankar Jaikishan,who brought him to Bombay for singing in Hindi films. That is why most of his Hindi songs are SJ compositions.

Other MD’s had to take permission from his mentors before signing him for recording a song, which generally MDs wanted to avoid. Once in a conversation with one of my friends Subir Sen actually blamed SJ for not keeping promises & also for not allowing him to approach other MDs directly. There is another side of this story also.

Shankar once in a print media interview said that Subir Sen was not very serious about his own career.He was easygoing & not a hardworking person.He avoided “Riyaz” & reluctant to work upon for improving his faulty Hindi diction. That is the reason for him not making much headway in the world of music. Arati Mukherjee came to Bombay in late 50’s after winning a talent hunt contest but cold not make much headway & left for Calcutta after a year or two. She came back again to Bombayafter years & shot to fame with Geet Gata Chal.Everything was going fine for her then.Trouble actually started after she was called by RD to sing for Masoom.

When she was rehersing, series of phonecalls were coming either to RD himself or to Sapan Chakravarty, which was disturbing to them both. Later she learnt that those phonecalls were in fact being made by a very established singer, who was showing her displeasure over her getting an opportunity to sing for RD. This was disclosed by Arati Mukherjee herself in an interview in an very old issue of Ananda Bazar Patrika,a very renowned Bengali daily. Finally,pkbasuji, I must say that Arati Mukherji is a great singer but in any case she is not Lata Mangeshkar. Lataji will allways remain Lataji. Regards, Abhijit. November 8, 2014 at 2:41 pm.

I would love to hear from someone who would put up Dwijjen Mukherjee side of the story, as to why he could not make a mark for himself in films as a play back. Though he appeared on the scene much later than Hemanto da, and he was more or less considered to be a clone, as his voice sounded so similar, and as Hemanta da was after all a very well known and respected singer and music director in Bengal, infact the topmost singer and Uttam and Soumitra and all music directors preferred him, but what was the case in Mumbai. Yes Hemanto da was a very big name in Mumbai too, but Mumbai Industry was bigger than Bengal Industry, so I was just wondering if we could have Dwijjen’s side of the story too,as to why he could not make a mark for himself in Mumbai.

November 9, 2014 at 10:29 pm. My personal observation tallies with AKji’s observation.

Dwijen mukherjee’s voice is too close to Hemant Kumar’s voice. That may be the reason for his not making any mark in Bombay. My personal opinion is DM has slight edge over Hemant Kumar so far fluidity of voice is concerned. I Would suggest all respected bloggers to listen to the songs suggested by Srimanto Senji specially ” Rekho Ma Dasere mone” & ” Aashar Chalane Bhooli”. I hope that, that would automatically prove my point. I believe that N.Venkatramanji has done the right guess work.

There were few handful of singers who could command a MD of RD’s stature. Regards, Abhijit. Srimaanto Sen November 16, 2014 at 7:11 pm. Abhijit ji, Pls go to and listen to the bengali songs of Hemant Mukherjee. My personal opinion as proved by his success in Bengal too was that he was just too good, his voice has silken velvety fluidity.

Pls listen to Hemanto da’s songs on this link. Pls also listen to his Duronto Ghurnir song, his dhitang dhitang bole, ranar chhuteche song, o akaash shona shona mati shobuj shobujh, tomar bhubone maago ato paap. There are many other songs too, I can go on and on naming them. Thereafter pls see whether you would like to change your opinion or not. You seem to be a true music lover, and therefore I thought you should indeed listen to Hemanto da’s bengali songs suggested above.

November 30, 2014 at 1:56 pm. Dear Abhijit jee, You are right, each of us have our own definition of music, what appeals to us and what does not, that is what makes us different. For me music is enjoyment, bliss and entertainment of self, it gives me pleasure and joy, I listen to music and sing for my own joy and I am sure each true music lover has his own definition for music. You are definitely most entitled to have your own opinion Abhijit jee, I am no one, to take it away from you, and nor can anyone else do so.. I had suggested other new songs in Bengali by Hemanto da in my last msg but since they are so famous, you were probably bound to have heard them. You and me are going to enjoy music till the day our ears allow us to enjoy them, there is no bigger pleasure in immersing yourself in music, in howsoever way it appeals to you.

There is unity in harmony, I too like Dwijjen a lot, and even wonder, why he was not able to have more opp in Mumbai, if not in Bengali and wish he had really got more chances in Mumbai. March 10, 2015 at 8:56 pm.

I find your headline “Subir Sen: The involuntary Hemant Kumar clone” in your journalistic attempt at understanding my father Subir Sen ridiculous!!!! I will not attempt to argue with you. If you knew my father and his musical talents and his philosophy behind his music, you would not surrender to the ‘usual and convenient’ journalistic critique of my very talented father, the great Subir Sen. To relegate the great Subir Sen as a Clone of Hemant Kumar, is a reflection of your abject and profound lack of insight about the music world. I knew Hemanta Mukherjee. My father Subir Sen, who was very much younger respected him. Journalists, or commentators such as yourself took upon themselves to create a scenario that was unreal and unfounded.

I would suggest that you get your facts right, before you post such a ridiculous comment. I will not defend my father, as he does not need defending. My father is still alive and receiving accolades for his contributions to the music industry. Thank you Supriya Sen April 20, 2015 at 4:06 pm.

After hearing ‘Manzil wohi hai pyar ki’ on radio just now, I was doing a random google search for Subir Sen and stumbled on this site. It’s really a find. And that song from ‘Anubhav’ is so beautiful. Thanks so much for all the songs and information.

Apart from Subir Sen and Dwijen Mukherjee there’s another singer who sounds somewhat like Hemant Kumar. Only somewhat though — he’s more like a blend of Hemant Kumar and Bhupinder Singh. I’m talking about Shivaji Sengupta who sang ‘Yeh safar’ from ‘1942: A Love Story’. It would be a good idea to launch ‘Songs of Yore’ as a Facebook page as well — thousands would find it more easily and be really happy to participate. Do consider the suggestion. Thanks again. May 2, 2015 at 8:32 am.

Shivaji was a discipline of Hemanto da. Hemanto da loved him very much and gave him permission to sing his songs and record them again. However Shivaji’s voice does not have that sweetness and in high pitches his voice does not sound so good in high pitch. Hemanto da, was a great singer and a great music director. Bengali films of the golden era are full of songs of Hemanto da and Manna Dey, who had no parallel in classical play back singing and Rafi sahab was effusive in his praise and he was effusive in his praise of Rafi Sahab. Rafi sahab said, you are my fans, I am Manna Da’s fan, woh itni murkiyan le sakten hai, main nehi le sakta, while Manna da said woh unka badappan hai, unse bada singer aaj tak aya nehi na ayega.

May 27, 2015 at 12:43 am. As a music lover i always rejoice songs of Subir Sen,and off course Hemant da is my favourite.I wished to know more about subir sen yet very limited is known about him.I know him only through his songs less is known about him. Like others i have at times thought his songs sung by hemant da yet after the radio announcer mentions his name then i could notice that the this is his voice.Likewise one music director knownas Bhatkar first name i am forgetting right now.His compositions are also melodious but least known person.Wish to know more about his music and about him. Sunil S Okhade November 3, 2015 at 5:35 pm. Dear Friends My beloved father passed away on December 29th, 2015. He was a legendary singer and an iconic figure in the music industry. I am trying to create a scholarship fund in his memory.

It is a process, nevertheless it will happen ( I have to follow rules and regulations according to Indian regulations); which I will. Thank you for your condolences and appreciating his talent. I am hoping I can reach out to all of you (when the time comes) to contribute to the scholarship fund that I am starting to set up. It will take a few years.

Thank you Supriya Sen PD Gupta January 26, 2016 at 9:04 am. Thank you AK. I hope this site will discontinue to do a post mortem of my father’s music and STOP comparing him to Hemanta Mukherjee or anyone else, for that matter. Please respect my father for who he was. Please refrain from commenting on him in a derogatory way or in a condescending way or trying to criticize my father and his music. I will greatly appreciate “OBJECTIVE’ opinions and not subjective and personal opinions about my father. I truly respect everyone who admire him.

I am deeply grateful. Sincerely Supriya Sen January 30, 2016 at 8:30 am.

Dear AK I have responded to you in a private mail. I find the term ‘clone’ deplorable, disrespectful and unacceptable.

My father is NOT a ‘clone’ of anybody. He is a stature unto his own. I hope this site can recognise my father for who he was.

I would really appreciate it if your site continues to acknowledge my now deceased father with respect and change your site’s headline. As I said to you in my private email, the definition of a ‘clone’ ( an organism or cell, or group of organisms or cells, produced asexually from one ancestor or stock, to which they are genetically identical’) My father, Subir Sen is neither a organism or is not genetically related to Hemanta Mukherjee.

My father respected Hemanta Mukherjee and all other musicians for that matter. I grew up with knowing Hemanta Mukherjee.

He was very much part of my family as was Manna Dey, Dijen Mukerjee, etc, etc.,,, Please be respectful of my father!! Supriya Sen Supriy Sen January 31, 2016 at 1:43 pm.

I would love to hear from Srimaanto Sen. He seems to have a lot of opinions of my father What is it based on?

He refers to the singers on a personal basis. I know/knew a lot of the singers.

To this day,I spoke with Dijen Mukherjee ( when my father passed away). This kind of subjective opinions shrouded by fallacies is what upsets me. For all of the commentators, did anyone of you know the singers personally? I knew everyone one of them!!!!! I respect everyone one of them, as did my beloved.

My father would never call anyone his ‘clone’, he was never that kind of human being. I would not refer to any singers as my father’s ‘clone’!!!!

It is so defamatory and disrespectful!!!! It’s disgusting for that matter. Thank you Supriya Sen Shanto Rahman February 2, 2016 at 2:50 pm. Supriya Sen, I see that you are deeply hurt by most of us at SOY.

Barring for few knowledgeables most of us do not know anything about music, the only thing common between us is the passion for music and we like to discuss it whether we understand it or not. What we say about the artist projects what we think about them and not what they are. Not only your father Subir Sen but all the artist will be remembered for what they are and not what we think about them.

Please do not give us so much importance by hurting yourself so much. February 4, 2016 at 3:43 pm. Ashok M Vaishnav; Yes, I was aware of Subir sen giving music for a hindi movie. Midnight made in 1972 which was released in England only. I was only making enquiry whether there were more hindi films which had Subir sen as MD. I am a great fan of Subir sen from the day one. His voice reflected the younger generation of the 60s.

Gar tum bura na mano.is one of his best duet with Asha ji. Look how his voice matches that of actor Pradeep. Here are some songs from the movie Midnightwith Subir Sen as MD.

Kangana is an exceptionally beautiful girl who knows that she can attract any man, but still hopes for a life partner who will admire, respect and want her for who she is, not her beauty. However, when her beauty becomes her curse, it changes her life forever. Kangana's own family, who are jealous of her, try to destroy every happiness that enters her life. Kangana's childhood sweetheart, Priyam, comes back from and their love story begins.

Kangana falls in love with Priyam, as he has all the qualities she is looking for in her Prince Charming. Very soon, she gets married to him, starting a new chapter in her life.

But, life is not as straightforward for Kangana as she was expecting it to be. Problems start arising in her life because of her beauty. Priyam cannot stand that his wife is far more talented and in-demand than him, and with every passing day, his insecurities about Kangana keep growing. He accuses Kangana of having an affair with his own best friend Nivaan and out of his lowliness complex, starts keeping an eye on her to know what she does and whom she meets.

His suspicion grows so much that he starts raising his hand on Kangana. He gives her a permanent scar on her face so that she would look like a normal person.

In the end, Kangana commits suicide because she was raped and did not want to bring shame on the family. Kangana Dasgupta/Bhattacharya •. Priyam Bhattacharya •. Chandra Sen •. Sushmita Sen •. Roktima Sen/Bhattacharya •.
