Review: Kishore Kumar – The Ultimate Biography (Harper Collins) is at its core almost an encyclopaedia on the Artist. Parthiv Dhar ( my batchmate at VRCE, Nagpur) is a die-hard fan of Kishore and the book in collaboration with Aniruddha Bhattacharya is apt way of paying tribute to the legend. Of Kishore Kumar’s multiple facets as singer, actor, producer, director, today’s generation perhaps may be largely aware of his songs. There are more than 3000 of them. And the beauty is even today, a song gets ‘discovered’ on YouTube. The details of his faculties other than singer are where this book covers vast ground and will reach out to the newer audience in knowing Kishore Kumar. It also helps that the biographers have, perhaps intentionally, not taken any particular lens to chronicle the life. The book is relentless in pursuing facts & events as they occurred in his life and is backed by robust, extensive research. It is rich in detail. In fact it as trivia collector's delight. The writer duo keep the writing simple, accessible and brisk. There are enough events in Kishore’s life that lend credence to theories about his eccentricity & parsimonious attitude. The book brings out quite a few of them and live it up to the reader to judge for themselves. More poignantly, the book is able to focus sharply on Kishore’s directorial adventures, his four marriages, the emergency chapter and the events on the fateful day. Kishore’s fascination with ‘things horror’, his relationship with Rafi saheb, discussions about the frailties of his life with Lata Mangeshkar, his philanthropic side are some of the passages worth reading. The book deserves to be on shelf of any film buff and is must recommended for anyone interested in any aspect of the madcap genius that was Kishore Kumar.
Review: Felt like getting to know a legend I idolize better and why he deserved all that adulation. A genius indeed and the authors made it feel like going through the sets of a Bollywood movie with the behind the scenes story of every familiar set. Priceless!
