For the unaware, late music composer, Vanraj Bhatia was not keeping well for the last few months. It was in February when musician Ehsaan Noorani had requested one and all to help Vanraj financially by putting up a post on Facebook.
Well, the deceased had started his career by making music/jingles for brands like Liril, Dulux, and Garden Vareli. His first film score was for Shyam Benegal's searing debut Ankur (1974) and later also was part of Manthan (1976). That's not it, as he also has worked for commercial films like Ajooba and Damini. May his soul RIP.
