Amar Akbar Anthony



Manmohan Desai, born in Valsad,Gujarat (Feb. 26, 1936 -March 1, 1994) was a renowned producer and director of Indian movies.

His father had directed a film in the 1930s . His brother, Subhash Desai was a producer. Manmohan got his big break with the Hindi film Chhalia (1960). Subhash later went on to produce Bluffmaster, Dharamveer, Amar Akbar Anthony (1977) and Desh Premee with Manmohan as the director.
After his wife's death, he was engaged to actress Nanda in 1992. He ended his life because of medical problems in 1994. His son is married to Shammi Kapoor and Geeta Bali's daughter.

Amar Akbar Anthony was truly a multi starer and a big box office hit. "Hum ko tumse" is probably the first and only time Lata Mangeshkar, Kishore Kumar, Mukesh and Mohammed Rafi..all sang together.

I thank Pradip for always making time from his hectic schedule for my requests. Thanks N V Krishnan for being so prompt. Thanks Azam for requesting this track from Taranaa and helping me complete this project. Thanks Ajay for mixing the song.

Dear Pradip, Paras, Azam and NV Krishnan,
Thank you for trusting me with your precious Voice files and
Azam, anything and everything I know about mixing, I have learnt from you, so "thank you".
Needless to say that singing is superb.. ( I should know, I have heard the song now.. about 51 times while mixing).

Great job by all four of you; coordination was fabulous (well Azam is involved in it, what less one could expect!).

Expressions, voice quality, mood... everything was fantastic.

Last, but never the least, F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C mixing/editing Ajay Bhai. I did it myself not too long ago at Taranaa, I know very well how difficult it is!

A job well done everyone.

Hey, your blog is just amazing, not less than a music encyclopedia. Detailed information about each song with pictures and most importantly songs in your voice. BTW, thanks for your comments on my pictures. I wish I could say the same i.e I want to learn from you, but I dont have the basic quality to learn music i.e voice.... You know basic mein wandha :)
