Mr X In Bombay

In 1958, Ashok, Kishore and Anup Kumar teamed up to do a zany comedy. The story, like the 1928 Chevrolet in Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi, ran amok,

accommodating songs and Chaplinesque chortle-raisers at will. The lead duo, Kishore and Madhubala, were a treat on screen. And soon, a married couple off-screen, too.

THE LATER YEARS OF LIFE…• Kishore Kumar produced and directed some movies in the late

1970s and early 1980s, such as Badhti Ka Naam Daadhi (1978), Zindagi (1981) and Door Wadiyon Mein Kahin (1980).

•But none of these films did well at the box-office.

• Kishore Kumar stopped singing for Amitabh Bachchan in the mid-1980s, after Amitabh didn't do a guest appearance in a film produced by him but called a truce with him by singing for him in Toofan.

• He also temporarily stopped singing for the actor Mithun Chakraborty, after Yogeeta Bali divorced him and married Mithun.

• Then, the life takes the turn to the death, and the legend of Indian film industry leaves the world on 13 October 1987 due to massive heart attack.
