A brief biography

Avijit Ghosh, September 7, 2020: The Times of India

Film composer S Mohinder received the national award for best music director in the Punjabi blockbuster, Nanak Naam Jahaz Hai (1969), and is best remembered for the wistful melody, Guzra hua zamana aata nahi dobara (film: Shirin Farhad, 1956).

“When my father won the award, the first to congratulate him was SD Burman, whose Aradhana was in contention for the same prize,” his daughter Nareen Chopra told TOI on phone. Nanak Naam Jahaz Hai (1969) had some memorable devotionals sung by Mohd Rafi, Manna Dey, Asha Bhonsle and others. “The touching compositions helped enormously in the film’s success,” says Jasbir Singh, a fan of Mohinder’s music. His film career began with Sehra (1948) and lasted over three decades.
