He'll make you sing in Marathi

Music is only as good as the ability of its composers to guide each symphony.

If humming an old tune brings you peace and fills your mind with happy memories, you can thank the trifecta of lyrics, composition, and singing. Back in the good ol' days, when the words had depth, pieces were original, and the singers still had a melodious voice, music was a delight.

Modern-day rap songs and fast beats will never be a match for the old symphonies that soothed a weary wanderer's head and calmed his heart.

Arun Paudwal was a renowned music composer in Bollywood. He rose to fame when he worked with S.D Burman.

Arun Paudwal was married to Anuradha Puadwal who is a singer in Bollywood. Their daughter, Kavita Paudwal is also a singer. It seems that music runs in the family. But when parents are musical prodigies, it is nearly impossible for the offspring to turn out tone-deaf.

Kishore Kumar was one of the most famous singers of Bollywood. People from all walks of life still listen to his songs and revel in his glorious voice. Music directors often flocked to collect Kishore da for his gem of a voice. And why wouldn't they? Kishore Kumar always delivered on his performances.

A prominent duo of music directors whom Kishore Kumar worked with was Anil Mohile and Arun Paudwal who worked under the aegis of Sachin Da. The duo worked extensively with Sachin Da's wife, Meera Dev as well.

Arun Paudwal's greatest hit was visible in the movie album of Meera ka Mohan. Paudwal managed to achieve an amazing feat- he made Kishore Kumar, the guru of singing, sing a song in Marathi. Gammat Jammat was a Marathi movie whose popular song Ashwini ye na was sung by none other than the maestro Kishore Kumar.

While Arun Paudwal died in 1991, the film Meera Ka Mohan was only released in 1992. But the songs were super hits, and even after his death, he was remembered for having produced such successful songs.
