Kishore Kumar - Biography, Films and Film Song Videos

Date of Birth 4 August 1929
Death: 13 October 1987





Kishore Kumar was born into the Bengali Ganguly family in Khandwa ( Madhya Pradesh) as Abhas Kumar Ganguly.  Ashok Kumar, an elder brother became a Bollywood actor. Kishore also got interested in films and music. In area of singing, he became a fan of singer-actor K. L. Saigal and tried to emulate his singing style.

He changed his name to Kishore and started his cinema career as a chorus singer at Bombay Talkies, where his brother worked. Kumar's first film appearance as an actor was in Shikari (1946), in which Ashok Kumar played the lead role. Music director Khemchand Prakash gave Kumar a chance to sing "Marne ki duayen kyon mangu" for the film Ziddi (1948). Kishore Kumar played the hero in the Bombay Talkies film Andolan (1951), directed by Phani Majumdar.

Kumar next starred in Bimal Roy's Naukri (1954) and Hrishikesh Mukherjee's directorial debut Musafir (1957). Salil Chowdhury, the music director for Naukri,  gave him the song Chhota sa ghar hoga.  Kumar starred in films New Delhi (1957), Aasha (1957), Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi (1958), Half Ticket (1962), and Padosan (1968). Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi (1958) was his home production and it was a super hit.

Music director S. D. Burman spotted Kumar's talent for singing and advised  him to  develop a style of his own. Burman employed the talent  of  Kumar for Dev Anand's Munimji (1954), Taxi Driver (1954), House No. 44 (1955), Funtoosh (1956), Nau Do Gyarah (1957), Paying Guest (1957), Guide (1965), Jewel Thief (1967), Prem Pujari (1970), and Tere Mere Sapne (1971). He also composed music for Kumar's home production Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi (1958).

Some of the hit songs with S.D. Burman were; "Maana Janaab Ne Pukara Nahin" from Paying Guest, "Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke" from Nau Do Gyarah (1957), "Ai Meri Topi Palat Ke Aa" from Funtoosh, and "Ek Ladki Bheegi Bhaagi Si" and "Haal Kaisa Hai Janaab Ka" from Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi (1958). Asha Bhosle and Kumar sang hit duets under Burman that included "Chhod Do Aanchal" from Paying Guest (1957), "Ankhon Mein Kya Ji" from Nau Do Gyarah (1957), "Haal Kaisa Hai Janaab Ka" and "Paanch Rupaiya Baara Aana" from Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi (1958) and "Arre Yaar Meri Tum Bhi Ho Gajab" from Teen Deviyan (1965).

Music director C. Ramchandra and Kishore  Kumar collaborated on hit songs "Eena Meena Deeka" from Aasha (1957) and others. Kishore Kumar's work includes "Nakhrewaali" from New Delhi (1956)  with  Shankar Jaikishan, "C.A.T. Cat Maane Billi" and "Hum To Mohabbat Karega" from Dilli Ka Thug (1958) with Ravi, and "Chhedo Na Meri Zulfein" from Ganga Ki Lahren (1964) with Chitragupta.

Kumar produced, directed, acted and composed the music for Jhumroo (1961), and wrote the lyrics for the film's title song, "Main Hoon Jhumroo". Later, he produced and directed Door Gagan Ki Chhaon Mein (1964). He wrote the script and composed music for the film, which is about the relationship between a father (Kishore Kumar) and his deaf and mute son (played by his real-life son (Amit Kumar).


In the late 1960s, Rahul Dev Burman worked with Kuman on the soundtrack of the film Padosan (1968), in which Kumar acted and sang hit songs "Mere Saamne Wali Khidki Mein", "Kehna Hai." and "Ek Chatur Nar Karke Singaar."

In 1969, Shakti Samanta produced and directed Aradhana. He sang two songs in the film; "Meri Sapnon Ki Rani" and "Roop Tera Mastana". Kumar's two songs established him as a leading Bollywood playback singer of the time.


In 1970s and 1980s, Kumar sang for Rajesh Khanna, Amitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra, Jeetendra, Sanjeev Kumar, Dev Anand, Shashi Kapoor, Mithun Chakraborty, Vinod Khanna, Dilip Kumar, Randhir Kapoor, Rishi Kapoor, Rajiv Kapoor, Sanjay Dutt, Sunny Deol, Anil Kapoor, Rakesh Roshan, Dilip Kumar, Pran, Sachin, Vinod Mehra, Chunky Pandey, Kumar Gaurav, Govinda and Jackie Shroff.


Kishore Kumar produced and directed some movies in the late 1970s and early 1980s, such as Badhti Ka Naam Daadhi (1978), Zindagi (1981) and Door Wadiyon Mein Kahin (1980)—his last appearance as an actor.

Kumar sang for Anil Kapoor in Kapoor's debut film as a leading man, Woh Saat Din and also recorded songs for Mr. India. He sang a duet with Alka Yagnik, "Tumse Badhkar Duniya Mein Na Dekha" for Kaamchor in 1982 and recorded some songs for the film Saagar with R. D. Burman.

On 13 October 1987—his brother Ashok's 76th birthday—he died of a heart attack in Mumbai at 4:45 pm. His body was taken to Khandwa for cremation. Kumar had recorded his last song, Guru Guru—a duet with Asha Bhosle for the film Waqt Ki Aawaz (1988) composed by Bappi Lahiri for Mithun Chakraborty and Sridevi—the day before he died.
