Acclaim
In 1949, Lata Mangeshkar took the Hindi film industry by storm with films like Andaz, Shaheed, Barsaat, Mahal. The next decade she made history. Becoming the leading singer, she gained sky-high popularity. She had already worked with Bengali music directors like Rai Chand Boral, Anil Biswas, Hemant Kumar, Sachin Dev Burman, Robin Chatterjee and Salil Chowdhury. They all were interested in introducing this singing prodigy to the Bengali film industry. Nachiketa Ghosh had taken the initiative. He made Lata sing for a 1956 film. It was a tagore song (also referred to as Ravindra Sangeet). But it could not cast her magic on people. So, she dissuaded herself from singing Bengali songs. Moreover, she had less command over Bengali as she was Marathi. However, in 1959, Salil Chowdhury signed Lata to sing two Bengali songs- "Na Jeona" and "Jare Ude Jare Pakhi". Both of the songs went on to become all-time greatest hits. Salil had a great command over composing raga-based songs.
