What are the first thoughts that come to our mind when someone mentions singing-actor Kishore Kumar Chances are we will say yodeller, comic actor, or the voice of Dev
Anand and Rajesh Khanna. Perhaps we will think of his eccentricities,
and maybe even his multiple marriages. Many of us recall him fondly
through his garage-mechanic’s role and song Ek ladki bheegi-bhaagisi
from Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi. Others instantly mention his comic falsetto
singing in Aake seedhi lagi dilpe jaise katariya from Half Ticket.
People who are in love with his work and persona—and these are in the millions—know more about him, and so they see this man in his other avatars too, as a composer, filmmaker, editor, scriptwriter and even songwriter, yes! A modern-day Leonardo da Vinci in our cinema, with an embarrassment of skills, many of them high-visibility.
