Beyond the iconic homes of Bollywood stars like Shah Rukh Khan's Mannat in Bandra and Amitabh Bachchan's Jalsa in Juhu lies a legacy of timeless talent that continues to captivate audiences worldwide. One such legendary figure is Naushad, a maestro of Hindi cinema, renowned for seamlessly weaving classical music into his compositions. Though he's no longer with us, his melodies remain etched in our hearts, even if many might not recall the genius behind them. The timeless work of a music maestro
The films that Naushad composed include Mughal-e-Azam, Mother India, Ram Aur Shyam, Ganga Jamuna, Sangharsh, Baiju Bawra, Anmol Ghadi, and many others that are regarded as gems in the history of cinema. You may know Naushad's timeless music, but did you know he composed for all these films — or where this legendary composer's home in Mumbai is located? A tribute to Carter Road
In a heartfelt tribute, a band paid homage to the legendary Naushad outside his former Mumbai residence on Carter Road, now aptly renamed 'Sangeet Samrat Naushad Ali Road'. On Eid, they gathered in front of the sea-facing house, where the maestro's music was once infused with the freshness of the ocean breeze. Even decades later, Naushad's timeless compositions continue to captivate audiences, carrying the essence of his genius. The bungalow and the boulevard of legends
Although this bungalow's architecture is in the antique style, it is clear that it was a magnificent home when it was built. Additionally, let us inform you that the mansion of former superstar Rajesh Khanna is situated on Samrat Naushad Ali Road, popularly known as Carter Road. It's not that this avenue is solely inhabited by his name. Mumbai's Mayanagari is like an ocean, with precious pearls of art tucked away around every corner. Film divers who can locate these pearls and showcase them to the globe are all that is required.
Mumbai, the city of dreams, is a treasure trove of artistic gems waiting to be unearthed. All it needs are talented filmmakers to dive deep and bring these hidden pearls to the surface, showcasing them to the world
