Ravindra Jain is an Indian music composer, who won the Filmfare Best Music Director Award in 1985. He was born completely blind. He was born in Aligarh on 28th February in 1944. He is married to a poetess Divya Jain.
He is considered the most notable of the Hindi music directors in the 1970s and early 1980s, for hit films such as Chor Machaye Shor (1974). His song genre is light, classical music. He is famous for melodious music and noted for their soothing qualities. His talent is not restricted to music direction alone, but he has composed beautiful lyrics too for many of his songs.
Jain's greatest discovery is claimed by some to be the noted playback singer, Dr. K. J. Yesudas, who has sung in many of his pictures. Together they gave the Hindi film industry some memorable songs like 'Oo goriya re' (Naiyya), 'Beethi hui raat ki' (Sunayna), and 'Gori tera gaon' (Chitchor). It is said that Jain was so fascinated by the way Yesudas sang his songs that Yesudas' face was the first he wanted to see if he ever received his vision. Jain has worked on songs after his liaison with Yesudas, but he has failed to attain the pinnacle of glory he achieved with the master singer during the 1970s.In Addition Ravindra Jain also rendered beautiful music to many of the Rajeshree films. He was also given a big Break by Raj Kapoor and gave some superhit tunes for his film Ram Teri Ganga Maili He recently made a comeback in Ramanand Sagar's Sai Baba, his comeback has made him immensely popular and especially the youth consider his music to be the most soothing.One of his most famous songs is 'Ankhiyon Ke Jharokhon Se' (Ankhiyon Ke Jharokhon Se). He also provided music for epic Ramayana by Ramanand Sagar. He recently gave music for vivah by sooraj barjataya which was very pure and indian.
Ravindra Jain has been honoured by President, Vice-President, Prime Minister, Cabinet Ministers, State Governors and Chief Ministers of various states and many prominent political leaders. He has been also honoured by Swami Haridas, Raseshwar, Sur Singar, Filmfare, Youth National, Uptron, Aashirwad, Aadharshila, Priyadarshini, Indigo'90, Jaycees, Lions, Rotary, Bengal Film Journalist Association, U.P.
