Book on Hari Prasad Chaurasia omits his valuable contribution to Odia movies as composer

The book, Breath of Gold, on Pt Hari Prasad Chaurasia by @Sathyaistruth does have good info on his early days in Cuttack & even on his Bhubaneswar Gurukul, but completely misses the Odia movies that Bhuban-Hari composed for, such as Gapa Hele Bi Sata, Samaya, Anuraga & Bata Abata https://t.co/3dFaqIY2VV

Individually, as musicians, they were both well-known but not as composers.
It is not about just a few isolated ones over a long period. As many as 4 movies in 5 years, that too as a duo, and while being based in Bombay, means it must be some effort - an intense engagement with Odia cinema. Arguably in the most happening period of Odia cine music

Well, I will put it this way. The success (popularity is one part of that) in any field is a result of
1. one's competence (many aspects)
2. professional qualities
3. right attitude
4. the times
5.right opportunity which could be in any form.
They all do matter in real world.

Each of these has many aspects. Competence, for example, has talent, hard work, ability to learn and many other things.
Opportunity is patronage, being at the right place at the right time, sudden events and so on
True patriotism is not shouting at top of your voice that I am a patriot or proclaiming that my country is the greatest but appreciating that I have a duty towards my country.

I've been asked many times in the past why I call my handle OdiaCulture, when I tweet on topics other than Odi(sh)a or culture even if it is a non-controversial topic like Hrithik Roshan.
Now, I am taking a wilful diversion to tweet on #Coronoavirus for a greater good. Apologies

I started this account with this name, not to hide my identity but to keep my focus. So, if someone points that out, it keeps me in track.
Problem is: some expect me not to have an opinion at all, esp if that goes against their ideology, even if the topic is about Odia culture.

Title is imp for ticket sales n controversial & raunchy ones are safe bet due to absense of censorship. I remember once there were public against the title 'Mun Kendrapara Jhia Kahuchi' in 1998 based on the headlines

Apart from Surya Babu's journalistic abilities and activism championing the cause of Odia Cinema & Culture, his prose style needs to be studied separately and appreciated independently. Sensed some affinity while reading this thread

This handy compilation is three to four decades old but remains neglected. Let's hope both the scientific community and those dealing with Humanities look at it for some bold pointers at this time of crisis. @NathTusar

Sri Krushna Rasa Leela(1979) is the only Odia movie whose double LP was released in gatefold jacket.... with as many as 28 songs in these two records...sung by galaxy of singers of the era....composed by Rakhal Mohanty & Balakrushna Das... https://t.co/2T8867PL14

Akshaya Mohanty was equally at ease in the delicate duet with Nirmala Mishra as with ... the fun filled...Gele Gele Gele Gori... with Shipra Bose...  in Adina Megha (1970) written by Narayan Prasad Singh... composed by Balakrishna Das from the 78 RPM Shellac... https://t.co/hDgBmajKil

The Rahasa tradition wove into a single storyline the thousands of songs written about Radha-Krishna in Odisha since centuries : this particular selection has songs by Jayadeba, Pindika Srichandana, Banamali, Raghunatha Parichha, Bhanja, and even some by the compilers themselves.
