Summary
'Zindagi ek safar hai suhana...'
He was the most outrageous performer of the Hindi film screen—loved for his voice, adored for his comedy, and famous for his eccentricity. His big-screen performances—such as Half Ticket, Pyar Kiye Jaa, Padosan—could make you laugh hard, but his songs—like 'Koi humdum na raha', 'Badi sooni sooni hai', 'Ghungroo ki tarah'—could make you cry.
This is the story of the voice of a generation, the legend—Kishore Kumar. Beginning with his time spent in Khandwa, Bhagalpur and Indore and going on to Bombay where Kishore moved to try his luck in cinema, this new biography by Parthiv Dhar and Anirudha Bhattacharjee tells it all. A product of over thirty years of research, it goes beyond Kishore's nearly three thousand songs and his varied contributions to cinema, and reveals unknown facts about his four marriages, his run-ins with the government in the 1970s, and his health issues.
Kishore Kumar: The Ultimate Biography celebrates the music, the films and the genius of Kishore in the most definitive way for a new generation of audiences.
