Dev Kohli
Dev Kohli and his evergreen Lyrics
Dev Kohli is a famous poet and Bollywood songwriter who keeps a very low profile despite his fame. He has given this industry some foot tapping numbers with many a love song under the banner of Rajshri Productions. He has topped the charts with numbers like ‘Maine Pyar Kiya, ‘Didi Tera Devar Deewana’ and ‘Yeh Kali Kali Aankhen’.
From very early on in his life Dev Kohli was very interested in sher aur shayari. He wrote a lot of poetry earlier but he never disclosed it to anybody, as he feared that people would laugh at him. His mentor, Shaukat, gave the aspiring poet’s writing a certain purpose and direction. When he came to Mumbai sometime in late 1960’s, Sahir Ludhianvi was his idol. His first break through was the song ‘Geet Gata Hoon Main’ from Lal Patthar. Even though his first song was a hit, he still was not recognized. Later he, with his successful works, he became sought after. His best lyrics have been for romantic films songs like ‘Aate jaate’ (Maine Pyar Kiya) and ‘Pehla Pehla Pyar Hai’ (Hum Aapke Hain Koun). He has also written some happy go lucky songs like ‘Tan tana tan tan tan tara’ (Judwaa), ‘Kurta Phadke’ (Anari No 1) and ‘Yeh Kali Kali Aankhen’ (Baazigar). The title song of Biwi No 1 is also a big hit especially with children. He is also writing lyrics for a few non-film albums.
Dev Kohli prefers to understand the situation of the film and tries his best to write lyrics according to the character on which the song will be picturized. He feels that today, unlike previously, lyricists are recognized for their work. Lyricist Dev Kohli might be ageing but age is not coming in his way at all as far as writing songs go.
