+'''Madan Mohan Kohli (1924-75)'''
+
+
+Hindi film composer born in Baghdad. Son of
+Rai Bahadur Chunilal, the production controller
+of Bombay Talkies and founder of Filmistan.
+Joined the army in WW2. Employed in the
+Lucknow station of AIR (1946) where he
+received his only musical education in the
+company of singers like Faiyaz Khan, Bade
+Ghulam Ali Khan and Begum Akhtar. First film:
+Devendra Goel’s Aankhen, where singer Lata
+Mangeshkar apparently refused to sing for
+him, considering him an untrained newcomer.
+However, they became close friends and his
+second film, J.B.H. Wadia’s Madhosh, features
+both Mangeshkar and Talat Mahmood, the
+latter singer being most closely associated with
+his compositions. Madhosh included the hit
+Talat song Meri yaad mein. Wrote some of
+Hindi cinema’s most famous compositions,
+such as Geeta Dutt’s Ai dil mujhe bata de in
+M.V. Raman’s Bhai Bhai, Mangeshkar’s Lag ja
+gale and Naina barase in Woh Kaun Thi and
+several ghazals, like Aapki nazaron ne samjha
+in Mohan Kumar’s Anpadh. Was Chetan
+Anand’s regular composer following the
+popularity achieved by the songs from
+Haqeeqat. In the 70s worked with
+Hrishikesh Mukherjee (Bawarchi) and
+Gulzar (Koshish, Mausam). Apparently also
+scored the following films which remained
+uncensored: Jahan Mile Dharti Akash, Jahan
+Tum Wahan Hum, Ummeed Pe Duniya Jeete
+Hain, Maine To Mohabbat Ki Hai, Naya
+Janam Phir Wohi Shyam, Rehnuma and
+Salma. See Raju Bharatan, ‘Those Madanutties’
+(1995).
