This wAs(h)a great devotional traCK

If there was a Hindi film song about Maa Durga (in Her Maa Sherawali avatar), chances of Narendra Chanchal’s name in the credits are quite bright.

True to form, that was indeed the case even with the only song from the 1983 film Avtaar in my collection.

It was titled Chalo Bulaava Aaya Hai.

The two people who joined Chanchal behind the microphone for it were Asha Bhosle and Mahendra Kapoor.

It had two things in common with the previous song – the lyricist (Anand Bakshi) and the composers (Laxmikant Shantaram Kudalkar and Pyarelal Ramprasad Sharma).

This devotional tRaCk became popular

My collection contained a couple of songs from Aasha, which released on March 21, 1980.

That was about four months before Mohammed Rafi passed away.

He was one of the two people who lent their voices to the subject of this post.

Speaking of two, that was the number of titles it went – it was called Tune Mujhe Bulaya, and its alternative title was Jai Mata Di.

The man who joined him behind the microphone for the song was Narendra Chanchal.

Anand Bakshi wrote the song, which Laxmikant Shantaram Kudalkar and Pyarelal Ramprasad Sharma composed.
