Salil Chowdhury - Music Director

I don't know how many of you like Salil Chowdhury's music. The talented music director from Bengal had composed music not only for over 70 Hindi Films, 40 Bengali Films, 25 Malayalam films but also for Tamil (4), Telugu(1),Kannada(4) and some Assameese,Oriye,Gujrati and Marathi Films.
As an admirer and collector of his music I am desparately looking for the songs of his only Telugu Film called 'Kokila' (1985). I think there are at least two songs and the actor was Mohan, later known as 'Kokila Mohan'.
Any help will be very much appreciated.
Gautam

Kokila had Kamal Hassan and Shoba as the lead pair. It had also Roja Ramani and Mohan in their career best supporting roles. -wait, for Roja Ramani, the Malayalam movie 'Chembarathi' based on Malayatoor Ramakrishnan's novel was her career best.

About 'Azhiyatha kolangal' - Salilda rehashed his old hindi/ Malayalam songs for this Balu Mahendra movie (it is another matter that the movie itself is a remake of 'Summer of 42')
There was a dance in the market place song with the same tune as 'Kathali, chenkathali', a Salilda hit from the Malayam film 'Nellu' based on vatsala's novel of the same name. The malayalam song was sung by none other than Lata Mangeshkar - probably her first and last in M'lam.
Another song in Azhiyatha kolangal - 'poo nenjam, pola minnum' is also based on a Salil hit number - forgot what the original was.
Salilda will be remembered for his penchant for experimentation - like the 'Sahara' tune interlude in 'manasa maini varu' song (Manna Dey) in Chemmeen; his lilting music to the classical Tamil epic 'Chilapathikaram' - Kanal vari ('thingal malai ven kudaiyan' ...almost all 'Madhumathi' songs... the list is endless.

Thank you all for showing so much interest in Salilda's music and thanks to the person (no name given) who correctly pointed out that Kokila is a Kannada film. My apologies for this slip-up.
Unfortunately none of you have told me where I can get the songs of Kokila from.
Can someone please help me to get the songs of Kokila or at least point me to the place/person who can help me ?

The Azhiyatha kolangal song 'poo nenjam, pola minnum' song is based on 'O mere Saathi re' from 'Aakhri Badlaa (hindi)' and 'O amaar sajoni go' from 'Swarnatrisha(bengali)' both sung by Kishore and Lata.

Was Salilda the GM for 'Vayanadan Thamban' (Malayalam)? It has a KJY song 'Aaro paadi' much like another KJA melody in Hindi 'Koi gaatha..mei so jaatha'

Salil howhary was one of the great composers of all time. His melodious numbers in Malayalam is an unforgettable experince. His back ground score in the film Nellu still stands afresh. Sad that he is no more.

The Greatest thing about S.Chowdhry is that he had scored for only about 20-22 films in Malayalam but he still memorable in the hearts of malayalees. His style of Music is definitely not easy to copy.
We can hear a IR style or Rahman style of Music from many MDs.But it is very difficult to find a Salil style.Very unique and soulful.

Salil' compositions in Malayalam is Kerala' fortune - classic melodies, full bodied orchestration, bucolic moods, original ideas with native instruments - everything with a purpose and evocative of the sounds, scents, scenes and essence of all that is Kerala like no other native composer of Kerala achieve or can outdo!
Long Live the Memory of Salil Chowdhry

Iam a very great fan of Salilda .. When ever i hear music of Airhostess, Madanolsavam, ee ganam marakkumo etc i remember my good old childhood!!! those are evergreen and no one will forget it.. I admit his master piece was Chemmeen.. It is unfortunate that we cant get any more music from him!!! ..Its high time that we malayalees pay tribute to this legend who blessed our music during late 70's with his evergreen melodies!!!
