Chitragupta - The composer - A tribute


Chitragupta Shrivastava (16 November 1917 – 14 January 1991), better known as Chitragupta, was an Indian film music director of the 1950s and 1960s in Hindi cinema. Unfortunately he did not get the praise and acclaim he deserved. Who can forget his composition of the heart touching song 'Chal udja re panchi' from the film Bhabhi? He was born in Sawreji, a village located in Saran district in the Indian state of Bihar (now in Gopalganj district). His sons Anand-Milind are also noted Bollywood music directors. They worked as assistant music directors with their father for eight years.
