Alauddin Ali (24 December 1952 – 9 August 2020)[1] was a Bangladeshi music composer.[2] He won the Bangladesh National Film Award for Best Music Director five times for the films Golapi Ekhon Traine (1978), Sundori (1979), Koshai (1980), Jogajog (1988) and Lakhe Ekta (1990).[3] He won the Best Music Composer award for the film Laal Doriya (2002) and the Best Lyrics award for Premik (1985).[3] He directed music for more than 300 films.[1]

Background

Ali's father, Jadob Ali, was a staff artiste at the Dhaka radio station. His uncle, Sadek Ali, and cousins Dhir Ali Miah, Mansur Ali, Yunus Ali and Momotaz Uddin, were music directors and composers there during the 1960s.[2]

Career

In 1968, Ali joined as a film instrumentalist and assistant to composer Altaf Mahmud.[4] Ali's first film as a music director was Shondhikkhon (1975).[1]

In 1978, he made his breakthrough by composing songs for the movie Golapi Ekhon Traine. He composed two songs "Achen Amar Moktar" and "Haire Kopal Mondo, Chokh Thakite Ondho" in this movie. Both the songs took Alauddin Ali to another height. Another film called 'Fakir Majnu Shah' was released in the same year. The songs 'Premer Agune', 'Sobai Bole Boyosh Bare' and 'Chokher Nojor Emni Koira' of that movie made everyone interested in Alauddin Ali.[5]

"The audience response after conducting the music for the first film was not very good. The film did not do well commercially. I did not regret it. But through the film "Pink is now on the train", it is as if I am riding on the train of success. Whatever I have done since then, the audience has given me two hands, loved me."
