Chandrani Mukherjee Biography

Chandrani Mukherjee is an Indian playback singer who works for Bollywood movies most. She shares a unique, yet unfortunate record in Filmfare along with Lata Mangeshkar’s younger sister Usha Mangeshkar. Both have been nominated three times in Filmfare for best female voice, but were not able to win it at least once. Chandrani’s filmfare nominated songs include - "Pehchan To Thi" from Griha Pravesh (1981), "Mohabbat Rang Layegi ahista ahista" from Poonam (1982) and "Aaja Ke Teri Raahon Mein" from Lal Chunariya (1984). That means, she was a popular voice of early 80’s and except 1983, she has been nominated consecutively in three years though she was not able to win it. She was never nominated after 1984!  

 

Chandrani began her career in Bollywood with the film Aag Aur Toofan in 1975. Song was Dil Aaj Bahut Khush Hai Dildaar Tujhe Pa Ke. Chandrani was active in the industry till 1993. She last sang for Aaj Kie Aurat (1993). She has sung with almost all leading music directors of her time including Usha khanna, Laxmikanth Pyarelal, R.D.Burman, Bappi Lahiri and Naushad and had sung with all male playback singers as well. Aag aur Toofan was the movie released in 1975 with Mumtaz, Robin Kumar and Anwar Hussain as leading stars. The movie was directed by Tanvir Ahmed and music composed by N.Dutta. Among her songs, "Mohabbat Rang Layegi ahista ahista" from Poonam was most popular. She sung this duet with Mohd Rafi and was immensely popular as well.
