My Take
Geeta Dutt is one of those voices I keep returning to whenever I want to understand the soul of mid-century Indian cinema. Born in Bangladesh and equally at home in Hindi and Bengali, she brought a smoky, aching tenderness to playback singing that few have matched. What strikes me most is how even her cheerful numbers carry a shadow of melancholy, as if she knew something the lyrics didn't. She died far too young at forty-one, yet her recordings remain timeless. I think she deserves to be remembered first as a master vocalist, not merely as someone's spouse.
