This might be out of place, but does anybody know anything in detail
about Panditrao Nagarkar, the male voice in Ghanashyam Sundara
Shreedhara? I only know (I think) that he was very poor when he died.
Thanks in advance to anybody who knows.

Is he related to Chidanand Nagarkar?

I was under the impression that the song was actually sung by Pandit
Krishnarao Phulambrikar (Master Krishnaro as he was known) as a playback
singer. Panditrao Nagarkar was just an actor. .............BND

The song 'ghanashyaam sundaraa' (in the Marathi film Amar
Bhoopali) was sung by Panditrao Nagarkar. The song 'saangaa
mukund kuNee haa paahilaa' is yet another duet in the film
which he sang with Lata.

FWIW simple googling reveals that he acted in two Marathi films Amar
Bhoopali (1952) and Sant Bhanudas (1953) and a Hindi movie Maya Bazaar
in 1932(!). Other songs are also attributed to him, but the voice
seems different including Sanga Mukund.

Does anyone have the original Dehu Road CD?

All the songs filmed on him in the movie (and there are quite a few!)
are in his own voice.

FWIW: "saa.ngaa mukund" has Asha; the other duets with Lata are
"ghaDii ghaDii are manamohanaa" (brilliant song!) and "tujhyaa
priitiiche duHkh malaa" (the film version; the record version has only
a Lata solo).

Warm regards,
Abhay

Karan Diwan's voice in 'duniyaa hamaare pyaar
kii' (Lahore, with Lata) reminds me a lot (actually
it is indistinguishable) of Panditrao Nagarkar.

But Karan Dewan's singing in Rattan ('jab tum hii
chale parades' and 'saawan ke baadalo') does not
remind me of Panditrao Nagarkar.

I talked to a friend who is much more knowledgeable about this and he told
me that Panditrao Nagarkar was a well trained vocalist and used to give many
concerts of light music, although he also was well versed in the classical
side. My friend has attended a few of his concerts in Pune and Ahmednagar
areas. He was chosen by V. Shantaram for the movie, Amar Bhupali, because
V. Shantaram liked his singing. He only acted in two Marathi movies. The
song Sanga Mukund is also his singing. ......................BND

He was just an ordinary vocalist. He used to call himself Sangeet
Kohinoor. He used to live in Nasik for a while and then moved to Pune.
I remember his Pune house having his name as Sangeet Kohinoor
Panditrao Nagarkar. There are many things about his life but this is
not the place for it.

Sanaga Mukund is from Amar Bhoopali. As a matter of fact it is the
first song in the film. It is during a Keertan. The Kathekari keeps on
saying Kuthe ahe Maza Mukund Kuthe ahe maza mukund and starts this
song.

Kaka, this is just too tempting for me! Pray tell me how you decided
his ordinariness. Is it his guru-parampara? Are you comparing him
with other contemporary artists? Is it your reaction to his self-
assessment?

BTW, about the sign on his house which you mention - was it there in
his time or was it a blue commemorative plaque put there afterward?

You have not told anything about Panditrao Nagarkar being ordinary. Prey do the same.
