Widely
accepted as the first film to use Rabindra Sangeet it is |
perhaps forgotten that the film TALKIE OF TALKIES (14/1/37) |
had one song
by Tagore-KE ROY BHULEY TOMAR MOHAN |
RUPEY
.However,
the credit of reaching Tagores music to |
the masses
goes to MUKTI. KANANs
rendering of
AAJ
SABAR |
RANGE
in her mellifluous voice presented listeners an entirely
|
new style of
Rabindranaths song hitherto unknown. The |
unprecedented
popularity of KANAN and Pankajs songs in |
MUKTI played
a very major role in creating a mass appeal for |
this kind of
songs
..
|
MUKTI was
perhaps the first film to use the name
Kanan
Devi |
instead of
the earlier used name
Kanan Bala
|
We have been
surprised and delighted to see Srimati
KANAN
BALA |
in a new type
of role-said a leading Bengali daily
................ |
KANAN
has performed very well in her new place of work, her |
songs touch
the heart, said another
.
