During his initial days in Mumbai, composer S D Burman's experiments with music were hit-and-miss affairs so he decided to give up his ambition of composing for Hindi films and return to Kolkata when he was persuaded by actor Ashok Kumar to stay back.

India's legendary playback singer Manna Dey died early on Thursday, October 24, at a private hospital here after prolonged illness. Hundreds of people, including youngsters, thronged Ravindra Kalakshetra to pay tribute to Mannada.
