    THE MUSICAL WORLD OF CHHAYA GANGULI

    Karial jawan ki mayyat kis tarha laye ran se …

    The people who had made their way to cinema halls across India to watch the offbeat film must have wondered who the singer was.

On the other hand, the voice reciting the noha brought the lofty elegy in remembrance of the martyrs of Karbala right inside the courtyard of a certain address in Kotwara on the seventh day of Muharram (presumably) in Ghulam, the breadwinner of this family, departed to Mumbai (then Bombay) during Muharram, a year ago.

    Some 45 minutes later, the new voice sings Makhdoom Mohiuddin’s ghazal Aap ki yaad aati rahi raat bhar/Chashm-e-nam muskurati rahi raat bhar. Ghulam’s wife, Khairun, played by Smita Patil, keeps a nightlong vigil next to her ailing mother-in-law. Chhaya Gang
