One Movie, One Singer, Many Faces!!

In a single movie, one singer sings for more than 2 characters! There have been many instances when a singer sings for 2 characters in a single movie. Rafi used to do it regularly in the 50s when he used to sing both for the hero as well as Johny Walker or some other comedian in the same movie like Pyasa, Jaali Note, Madhumati, CID and many more. Kishore in the 70s also did such stuff quite a lot like Namak Haram, Mere Apne, Naya Zamana etc . But, one singer singing for 3 or more characters in one single movie in different songs is not very common and is worth delving in. This is a very interesting scenario and we would try to find out some movies where a single singer has done playback service for 3 or more characters in 3 or more different songs. Our period of discussion would confine within 1950 to 1990. Note: Examples like Lata Mangeshkar singing for 3 heroines in one single song- Humko tumse ho gaya hai pyar(Amar Akbar Anthony-1977) are not qualified, as the criteria is three different songs for three different people in one single movie.

Neglected in History- Yogesh Gaud

Yogesh Gaud has been neglected. Here was a poet, who could write simple yet meaningful and powerful poetry and convey the soul of the poem to the audience without any gimmicks. Still, his name has never been uttered in the same breath with the likes of Gulzar, Majrooh, Sahir or Anand Bakshi. Yogesh never worked too much under big banners and his work remained confined heavily within the small budget movies of Basu Chatterjee and Hrishikesh Mukherjee in the seventies. In fact, many people are ignorant about the lyricist of some classic melodies which were written by Yogesh.
