Profiles




Pankaj Mullick

Pankaj Mullick was born in Calcutta in 1905. He dropped out of college to follow his musical inclination and trained with Durgadas Banerjee and Dinendranath Tagore. He started out his career working extensively in radio. He worked as a singer at The Indian Broadcasting Company and even cut his own record in 1926 with Vitaphone. Another one of his significant radio credentials was the programme, “Sangeet Shiksar Asar” on which he worked as producer and musician. His entry into the film industry was as conductor of the live orchestras that accompanied silent movies , specifically those of International Filmcraft. He eventually joined Calcutta’s New Theatres and started composing film music, most notably the classic ‘Yahudi Ki Ladki’. He broke ground with the film, “Mukti”, in which he composed a Tagore song, “Diner Sheshe Ghumer Deshe”. He worked extensively with Rabindrasangeet and helped popularize its sound in film music. On a hiatus from composition, he took to singing and acting, thelatter in films such as ‘Aandhi’ in 1940. He resumed composing with films such as ‘Zalzala ( 1952).

Pankaj Mullick : Yeh rate yeh mausam

Pankaj Mullick : Chale Pawan ki chal...Jag mein


it was Pankaj Mullick (1904-78) who was a greater draw in Bangalore and Mysore. It was 1943 and the Second World War was raging. Though putting up with the privations of the War, Bangaloreans were immensely drawn to the cinema and music. A musical evening was organised by some citizens, and the singer chosen was not a Kannadiga or even from South India. He was from distant Bengal (united), and the then monarch of film and light classical music, Pankaj Kumar Mullick. The one who presided over the musical extravaganza was the dynamic Minister of princely Mysore, M.A. Sreenivasan. Those were the days two civil servants were being appointed as ministers along with as many politicians as part of a constitutional reform (based on K.R. Srinivasa Iyengar Committee report) introduced in 1941, when Sir N. Madhava Rau succeeded Sir Mirza Ismail as Dewan. The word minister had little currency in Mysore State prior to 1941. Sreenivasan passed away in 1997 as a centenarian. The Mullick programme held that day at the Sir Puttannachetty Town Hall had been advertised as "Musical performance by the celebrated Panjak Mullick in the distinguished presence of the Honourable Minister for Food and Civil Supplies M.A. Sreenivasan". Pankaj Mullick was at the height of his glory as a singer and music director in those days of rich talent and variety in Indian film music.

Mullick, who was one of the music directors of New Theatres', with Raichand Boral, Timir Baran, and Kamal Dasgupta, sang at the Sir Puttannachetty Town Hall before an overflowing and appreciative audience.

Two of his better known films, Nartaki, and Doctor (both released by New Theatres in 1940 and 1941), were still being shown in the cinemas all over the country. In the latter, Mullick had a unique role as actor, singer, and music director, along with singing stars Bharati, Ila Ghosh, and Jyothiprakash. Nartaki starred danseuse Leela Desai.

Mullick sent the Bangalore audience into raptures rendering with his velvet voice those melodies which still haunt the discerning listener: "Sundar Nari Pritam Pyari" from Manzil (1936), "Sharabi Soch Na Kar", Mukti (1937), "Piya Milan Ko Jana", Kapal Kundala (1939), "Yeh Kaun Aaj Aaya" and "Madhbari Rut Jawani Hai" from Nartaki, and those from the Doctor song parade "Mahak Rahi Phulwari", "Kab Tak Nirash Ki", "Aaj Apni Mehnaton Ka", and "Guzar Gaya Woh Zamana". With his clear vibrato and rich tone, Mullick also rendered Rabindra Sangeet, kirtans, adhunik, geet and baul music. He later visited Mysore and stayed as a guest of Maharaja Jayachamarajendra Wadiyar.







There is no hyperbole while saying Pankaj Mullick, Saigal, Kanan Devi, and even Ashok Kumar (with his easy and casual approach to singing in Bombay Talkies hits such as Jhoola, Bandhan, and Kismet), had a large following among filmgoers in Karnataka.

People were charmed by their music.
