Cinemaazi remembers Ninu Majumdar on his birth anniversary
9 Sep 1915
Cinemaazi remembers composer Ninu Majumdar on his birth anniversary. He was born on 9 September 1915 in a Gujarati Nagar Brahmin family of Baroda (Vadodara). Ninu was a pet name that he became famous but his real name was Niranjan, which he later used as a pen name in his Ghazals. He composed music for Jail Yatra (1947) and Gopinath (1948), two of the earliest Raj Kapoor films. It is well documented by now that the Yashomati Maiyase Poochhe Nandlala, a song in RK movie Satyam Shivam Sundaram is a direct lift from Mazumdar’s Aai Gori Radhika in Gopinath. He passed away on 3 March 2000.
