Indian Video Songs Biography
Lata's early film career was characterized by numerous changes in direction, false starts, and a general unsteadiness. It was not at all clear that she was destined to be a successful singer.1942 proved to be a very crucial year in her life. This was the year that the film "Kit Haaal" was release. This was the first film that Lata recorded for; unfortunately her song would be cut and not make it to the finished version. More traumatically for the young Lata, is that this was the year that her father died of a heart attack.Lata was only 13 years old when her father died, but as the oldest child, responsibility fell upon her to help take care of her families financial needs. She took to acting in small films in order to do this. Her first appearance was a very small role in Pahili Mangalagaur (1942). Later she acted in such films as "Maajhe Baal" (1944), "Chimukla Sansar" (1943), "Gajabhau" (1944), "Jeevan Yatra" (1946), "Badi Maa" (1945).
Lata Mangeshkar with tanpuraThe period in the early 40's did not look promising for Lata. Her thin voice was very different from the heavier voice quality that was in vogue (e.g., Noor Jahan). She received numerous rejections. It was not until 1947 that she was able to get a toehold in the industry by singing "Pa Lagoon Kar Jori Re" in the film "Aap ke Sewa Main" (1947). Lata sang several songs in other films over the next few years, but her first big hit was in 1949 with "Aayega Aanewaala".
There is no doubt that the partition played a role in Lata's rise to fame. During the partition, there was a disruption when many directors, producers and artists left Bombay, while others migrated to India from Lahore. One of the most notable artists to leave India, was Noor Jahan, who was the undisputed queen of the filmsong at the time. This disruption opened the doors to Lata in an industry that previously may have been harder to get into.As the 1950's began, Lata was firmly established as a film singer. Music directors she sang for included such greats as Shankar-Jaikishan, and Anil Biswas. During this period, "Mahal", "Barsaat", "Ek Thi Ladki" and "Badi Bahen" were just some of the famous films that used her voice.
