| The Music director of this film is actually Roshan. During the shooting of the film and just before songs recording Roshan, who was on a cultural mission to Russia was taken ill. He sent a telegram to the director Krishan Chopra to advise him to request Salil Chowdhury to compose the Title music and the opening song. This information was authenticated later by Salilda in a Doordarshan interview and also by Lata Mangeshkar in a Dada Saheb Phalke interview. The song is based on a famous Bengali composition from the '40s - "aayre poushaali bataase", which Salilda composed just after the Bengal famine. I found the Title music of "Heeramoti"reminded me of the Madhumati music. |
