Coming soon, the life story of the chin, chin choo lady

Geeta Dutt, who would have turned 75 today, will now be immortalised in a first-ever biography

Sunanda Mehta

Pune, November 22: Her’s was a voice you could see, feel and experience. For it was a voice that danced, cried and allured with a versatility rarely seen in Hindi film music. And it is this extraordinary magic of the legendary singer that Pune-based film maker and author Haimanti Banerjee is striving to capture in the first ever biography being written on Geeta Dutt, who would have turned 75 on November 23.

Painstakingly gathering tidbits of information since the past two-and-a-half-years to piece together her life story, Banerjee says the book is a tribute to the genius of Dutt, who never really got her due in life.
‘‘I want to establish that contrary to popular conception, Geeta Dutt’s career neither started nor ended with Guru Dutt. She was a much established singer when he was a struggling director in the late 40s and early 50s. No one director or composer made her — she was in a class of her own,’’ says Banerjee.

To this end Banerjee has spent considerable time studying and analysing Dutt’s singing career to make for a ‘‘compendium’’ that will have the complete lyrics of Dutt’s most important songs accompanied by their English translations. For instance, there are some five pages devoted to Tabdeer se bigri hui taqdeer bana de which marked Dutt’s transition from lachrymose numbers to peppy ones.

There is also an exploration of the kind of music directors, lyricists and actresses Dutt sang for and their relation with her, with some rare pictures obtained from her family members, especially son Arun Dutt. And though comments on her subject’s personal life have been studiously avoided, an analysis of the Guru Dutt-Geeta Dutt relationship finds a place in the book.

According to Banerjee, the greatest difficulty in doing research on Dutt has been the non-availability of the singer’s body of work. ‘‘Can you believe there was this one journal with a series of four volumes on Hindi film music and Geeta Dutt’s name came up only twice in it?’’ exclaims the writer who calls Harminder’s Geet Kosh her bible for Dutt’s bibliography.

Banerjee, who has won national awards for her documentaries on Shantiniketan and Balgandharva and has been widely acclaimed for her first book on Ritwik Ghatak, hopes to complete the book in six months.

Hi All Geetaji Fans
I have been an ardent fan of the late singer since last 20 years of my life. Only today I discovered this great forum. Thanks to all the contributors here.

With reference to this news item : I believe that the said book might have been published by now. The author had said in November 2005 that it might take around six months for the completion of the book.

Any idea if this has been published now?

Thanks and warmest regards
Parag
