Lata Mangeshkar

Lata Mangeshkar - Nightingale of India

Singing and sought after, Lata turns 81

The Bharat Ratna winning singer who has lent her voice to generations of Bollywood actresses from Madhubala to Kajol, is celebrating her birthday in her ancestral home in Kolhapur, said sources close to her.

"I don't celebrate my birthday. I performed the Puja and 28th September is just like any other day for me," Lata told.
The evergreen singer held the Guinness World Records for having recorded the most songs in the world from 1974 to 1991 and continues to be the favourite singer of top filmmakers like Yash Chopra and Sanjay Leela Bhansali.

Meanwhile younger sister and fellow singing legend, Asha Bhonsle, led a host of A-listers who wished the singer on Twitter.

"My favourite Female Singer and also my Elder Sister Latadidi celebrates her Birthday today. Too bad I'm in Hong Kong & can't attend her birthday. Will miss her as I am in Hong Kong, but my well wishes are always with Lata didi (sic)," wrote Bhonsle who also posted a old picture of them together.

Filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar, who has collaborated with the singer in films like 'Jail' and 'Page 3', was among the first to wish the acclaimed singer.

"Wishing u Lata Didi many happy returns of the day....May god bless u with good health..love..,nd peace (sic)," Bhandarkar tweeted.

Lata too is an active member of the micro blogging site and had posted a message yesterday thanking all her fans.

"I feel fortunate that my birthday falls close to two of my favourite people- freedom fighter Bhagat Singh and filmmaker Yash Chopra. I send my best wishes to Yash ji and pray that he lives for another hundred years," Lata had tweeted.

Starting her career in 1942 with songs in Marathi, Lata's first Hindi song was 'Paa lagoon kar jori' for Vasant Joglekar's movie 'Aap Ki Seva Mein' in 1946.

Two years later, composer Ghulam Haider gave Lata her first major break with the song 'Dil mera toda' in 'Majboor' and rest has been history.

Lata went on to record songs for over 1,000 Bollywood movies and has sung in more than 36 regional Indian languages.

The singer has lent her voice to some of the most popular and evergreen songs in film history including 'Pyar kiya to darna kya' from 'Mughal-e-Azam', 'Aaja re pardesi' from 'Madhumati' and 'Bahon mein chale aao' from 'Anamika' among hundred others.

Lata continues to lend her voice to select projects and is excited about her soon to be released duet with 'Shehanshah-e-Ghazal' Mehdi Hassan.

"Mehdi Saab always wanted to sing with me. In fact he sent me 2-3 recorded songs years back but he had to quit singing due to his prolonged illness.

"'Tera milna' is one of them. I recorded my version here in Mumbai and Mehdi Saab's version was recorded in Pakistan a year back. We have made a duet compiling the two versions," said Lata.

Knock Out

Bollywood Hindi Movie Knock Out(2010)

Synopsis

KnockOut is a fast-paced thriller that happens in real time. In just two hours - 11am to 1pm - an enigmatic vigilante pulls off an incredible, mind-blowing coup and a new chapter of Indian history is written. Sanjay Dutt plays a new age lone ranger who has the latest weapons and gadgets at his fingertips, and is a man who trusts and depends on no one. Working alone, he effortlessly uses his wit, his skills at hand-to-hand combat, and his love for stealth technology, to manipulate and trap his elusive target.

The target, played by Irrfan, is a street-smart investment banker who has made his way to the upper echelons of power. A man who unwittingly holds the key to Indias destiny, Irrfan is a man consumed by his own obsessions, an extremely clever and unstoppable foe. Through a brilliant play of truth and pretense, Sanjay strips Irrfan of his arrogance and attitude, opens his heart and confounds his brain, locking him in a tangle beyond redemption. a tangle which can only be unraveled one way. leading to the biggest counter-heist in the history of this nation.

Hot on the trail of these two men is a hardnosed television journalist, played by KangnaRanaut. She will stop at nothing. or so she believes, till she is faced with the ultimate call of conscience. Choosing between another mans lifeor herself. Choosing between the countryor herself. And each time she rises to the occasion, showing that the new India has its heart in the right place, its soul intact. As the film reaches its action-packed climax, every citizen of this country becomes a witness to the live action that unfolds before television cameras. For a nation that has endured political thieves for six decades, this counter-heist of a massive scale wakes them up in a way nothing has ever done before.

The film ends in a huge wave of euphoria. The mysterious vigilante fights and wins an impossible battle, a battle that raged not just in the streets of Mumbai but also in the minds of the whole nation. True to style, he manages to walk off into the celebrating multitudes, his identity forever hidden. maybe to strike another day. and India awakens to a new beginning.
