Although most kids in Maharashtra are taught the song ‘Nach re Mora’, very few know it was composed by the humorist and litterateur Purushottam Laxman Deshpande, better known as PuLa.
Whenever PuLa, a multifaceted personality, took out his harmonium, it created sheer magic. His songs from Gulacha Ganpati, were given playback by legends like Asha Bhosale, Vasantrao Deshpande, Bhimsen Joshi and Manik Verma.
He was also the music director for movies like Nawara Bayko, Doodh Bhat, Ghardhani, Mothi Manase etc. Besides, PuLa also won over the audience’s hearts with his voice for playback songs from movies like Bhagyaresha, Kuber, Vande Mataram etc. As Bhai Vyakti ki Valli, a biopic on this incredible man is set to hit the cinemas tomorrow, let’s revisit some of his iconic songs.
