Thanks a lot for the info....sad part is such great persons are honoured when the prime time of their life is over. This award should have been given earlier. Somehow we have a tendency of honouring people at a very old age.

One of the most deserving singers , melody that beckons to this day and a classical genius who has been forgotten and ignored over time....

This is the first song Mannada sang for Bollywood, for the film Mashaal. The music was by Sachinda.
