Cinemaazi remembers Anil Biswas on his birth anniversary
7 Jul 1914
Anil Biswas is credited for popularising fusion of western techniques such as orchestra, symphonies, cantala with Indian classical and folk sound in Hindi film music. Biswas was born on 7 July, 1914 in East Bengal, before Partition. His mother encouraged his inclination towards music from an early age. Biswas was arrested a couple of times for his involvement in the nationalist struggle against the British Raj. A self-made man, after reaching success as a music director in Hindi film industry, Biswas worked in All India Radio for the period of 1963-1975.
