 Babu Kishan as Krishnendu Das was the Music Director, Composer, Principle Music, Background Music and Film Design of this movie. Babu won the Best Music in Russian Film Festival.
Babu Kishan won the Best Music of India, the National Indian Award in 1981 when he was 21 years of age. This film won the Best Film 1981 the film . Long story, long story behind this film and the truth will be told. His mother Manju Das would have done anything for her husband Purna Das Baul, she gave up all her incredible talent and her only focus in life was her husband, beyond anybody else or anything else. Purna Das Baul was NOT the music director or Music Composer, it is all about family emotional Blackmail. Babu put his fathers name there because this is what his Mom wanted, hard to believe but Babu would do whatever his parents wanted. After being left at birth and then again when they finally got him in Calcutta after Nabani Das Khyapa Baul (Grandfather) passed away they put him in an orphanage. This created a deep desire in Babu to always wanted to be wanted, to be part of that family, to do anything and everything to do his best for them, even if that meant giving his life work away in the name of his father Purna Das Baul? Music is listed as Purna Das Baul on Wikipedia, that is false and it will be changed in the future, on the original releases Krishnendu Das is listed and he of course is Babu Kishan. Babu was awarded for this movie, not Purna Das Baul. Purna Das Baul is not a Music Composer or Music Director, he is only a singer and had to be taught to sing in Hindi because he did not speak Hindi, Babu had to spend hours and hours teaching his father and correcting him. Purna Dasji has never ever composed any music (period) he is not a composer or poet. Purna Das Baul is a great vocalist, his talent is singing in Bengali. Babu Kishan name listed as Krishnendu Das is listed on the original movie and music. It was later mysterious changed to his father Purna Das Baul and his Mom said, no leave it, Manju Das would do anything for her husband, even at the expense of her eldest son. Unfortunately the sad truth is, has taken Babu a lifetime to come to terms with. When one is young and treated as a servant or second class in a family, there is a psychology or mental brain washing that is implanted which is very hard to come to terms with, these are you parents but you did not know they were your parents, but you are treated as an outsider. Your mother bribes you to call her Ma but giving you a cookie? His Maa would say Babu you are the eldest this is your duty, to give up everything and give it to your family all finances and everything, even though they left him at birth, got you back at 8 years of age and then left him again at the Ramakrishna Mission. It is very long story and would never be told if there had not been such a lack of respect towards their eldest brother and son. The younger brother being the biggest culprit over the decades. There is a karma and a reckoning that must happen, if you forge signatures and sell Mumbai properties behind a sons back, there is a restitution to pay. If they had not abused him, wished him so ill all the time, talked negative behind his back all the time, it would never be a problem. Babu would let it go but it is way beyond the kind of abuse any family member should ever endure. Babu used to bring his friends (Indian Cinema) friends to his home in Calcutta and they would always say negative things to them about Babu, these friends would always tell Babu after leaving the house what was said and then say, what kind of family do you have? They would come to Mumbai, Babu would bring them as guest and they would gossip negative things to Babu's friends, and the friends would tell him and again say, what kind of a family do you have, they would say these things all around the world, while Babu would constantly send them money, they wanted a new car, he would provide, a new kitchen he would provide, birthday parties, clothing, theft of his jewellery, what they wanted they got. They would go to California and tell people (Babu's contacts) negative stories about Babu? All around the world people would say, we tried to call you Babu and your family said, they do not know where you are? When they knew, they would take his contacts and make a mess. It is the same with Bob Dylan, he never came to Calcutta, it is a lie by his younger brother and father. There is a whole story there too. This is not family, this is a case of incarnating into your enemies house. The time is now, this was all ignored because Babu was taught by his Grandma - let it go, let it go and after a lifetime of letting it go, it must be faced, it can not be ignored anymore. It has been like poking a bear, one who has dedicated his whole life and then been abused must face it and tell the story of a life lived with the greatest love his grandparents and dragged through one huge trip. Time is Now. Babu Kishan composed and arranged this music at a very young age, this is his Mother singing, she is not the actress but it is her voice called playback singing, this was a very popular, all top musicians from Bengal. Approximately 1979 Babu Kishan was in his early 20's. This song is about Durga and Shiva, this song has been traditionally played just before Durga Puja all over Bengal, it is a very famous song in honour of Ma.  Babu Kishan in this photo is Called Baboo, they are in RD Burman's private Music Room in his residence. Baboo Oriental Gramophone Record Company. BabuKishan already knew RD Burman from Bengal, his family was like family to Babu and when he arrived in Mumbai he started working as R D Burman’s assistant, learning Indian Cinema Music from one of the all time greats in Indian film music. Babu spent about 13 years with Legendary Music Director RD Burman during some of RD Burmans most difficult times, until his death in 1994. At first Bombay was a foreign place to Babukishan, he spoke Bengali and needed to learn Hindi, he was just a kid and had been living in hotels. When RD Burman found out that Babu has been living in a hotel which was expensive he arranged for Babu to meet the upcoming singer Abhijit from Kanpur, State of UP but Bengali, he thought Babu and Abhijit could help each other out by becoming house mates. RD Burman also suggested that Babu start working in the music industry while he was getting his Music Composer career off the ground. Burman introduced Babu to his first contacts, at R.K Electronics. Burman thought Babu was dynamic and energetic he knew that Babu would be perfect for the job. Babu is so greatful to R D Burman. R.K Electronics needed someone to promote their company and Babu already having fame as a Music Composer in Bengal was the guy to do this and Babu Kishan knew all distribution contacts from the Eastern Zone. He introduced R.K Electronics to the Eastern Zone and the combination today is know as TIPS Industry, one of largest Entertainment Companies in India.      Babu Kishan's friends from Indian Cinema (Bollywood) that live in have been calling and saying what the hell is going on #pune #Mumbai #NewDelhi.

No one in India would know who or what Bob Dylan music was without Babu Kishan. RV Pandit 'Chairman of CBS India' which was later sold to Sony, asked Babu Kishan, 'why are you always promoting this guy Bob Dylan?" Babu has always been enthralled with Bob Dylan poetic songs since he came to know his father was on the cover of Bob Dylans album, "John Wesley Harding" 1967. Babu Kishan was always inspired by Bob Dylan and he knew him personally and became friends with him. When Babu Kishan worked at CBS India he had tried to bring Bob Dylan to India, he could not get sponsorship or enough interest. Babu Kishan was influenced by his poetry and music. They had a regular connection through 'Al Aronowitz' who was the 'Father Rock Journalism in America' Aronowiz introduced 'Bob Dylan to Allen Ginsberg' & 'The Beatles when Bob Dylan'. Al Aronowitz of the Blacklisted Journalist, was a very dear friend of Babu Kishan's and they would talk daily. Al in New York & Babu Kishan in Bombay & Babu would visit once a year in New York along with Allen Ginsberg. #socialmedia #news #indianheritage #baulhistory #theqint #bengal#calcutta #rabindranathtagore #ndtv #timesofkolkata #bobdylan#allenginsberg #purnadasbaul #babukishan #shantiniketan #anandbazar#patrika #aajkal #hindunewspaper #kolkata #india #zeenews #googlenews#amazon #google #birbhum #baul #historicalbaul #getitstraight   Go to 'Bauls of Bengal', On Dylan's Web Site - Expecting Rain at the Botton of the page there are two links for Babu Kishan, one is an old web site unactivated and the other is Who is Babu Kishan.  In Garth Hudson's album (The Sea to the North), Babu Kishan played percussion and was the Indian Music supervisor to for this album. Garth Hudson was part of Bob Dylans (The Band) as was Levon Helm. Both Garth and Levon were great friends of Babu Kishan's for years since the early 1980's, this photo is in 202 RIP Levon Helm. "Comment by Bob Dylan's drummer 'Levon Helm' of The Band Levon was watching Babu's playing with music at Levon's recording studio. Babu Kishan was a long time friend and Levon's Indian Drum teacher. "Babu is not only a traditional authentic Baul but an extra ordinary genius personality." Levon Helm  The above photo was taken in Woodstock NY at Albert B Grossman's studio for the launch of Al Aronowitz's (the father of Rock journalism) the man who introduced Bob Dylan to the Beatles. Babu with Levon Helm. Babu knew Levon Helm going back since the early 1980's, this picture was taken in 2004.  Babu Kishan at Bob Dylan's home in Woodstock playing on Bob's piano, early 1980's.  Albert B Grossman and Sally Grossman arranged to bring Nabani Das Khyapa Baul to America in 1967 beause Allen Ginsberg requested that they bring Nabani to America but he refused and sent his too son's Purna Das Baul and Laxshman Das Baul thus this is when Purna Das Baul met Bob Dylan. It was not until 18 years later that Babu Kishan met them and made friends with them again on his own... that he reunited his father Purna Das Baul.
Wrong quote on the 1973 reunion of Purna Das Baul and Bob Dylan was 1985 it was Babu Kishan who rented them, it was a surprised organized by Babu Kishan for his father and he arranged it through Al Aronowitz and Allen Ginsberg who he had already met years before. #socialmedia #news #indianheritage #baulhistory #theqint #bengal#calcutta #rabindranathtagore #ndtv #timesofkolkata #bobdylan#allenginsberg #purnadasbaul #babukishan #shantiniketan #anandbazar#patrika #aajkal #hindunewspaper #kolkata #india #zeenews #googlenews#amazon #google #birbhum #baul #historicalbaul #getitstraight  #BabuKishanSpotlight: Another great Legendary #Indian#Filmmaker passes away at 95 in #Kolkata.

I composed the music for Arohan (film) but under the suggestion of my mother I gave my fathers name for the music for this film. My Mom would do anything for my Dad and she would often guilt me into sacrificing my career for my Dad. By mistake HMV actually gave my Dads name by accident and when I went to correct it, my mom said No leave it. I was the one who won the top award for music in this film. My Dad and Mom only sang in this film and I had to teach my Dad how to sing in Hindi. All Music was composed, arranged by Babu Kishan aka Krishnendu Das at the time. Shyam Benegal knew who composed the music and thus I was received the award for top music in India. My name is still in the Arohan movie title as Krishnendu Das...More to come.
