Kishore Kumar - A Versatile Genius | Biography and Memoir | A Book on Life of the Multi-talented, Evergreen and Legendary Superstar by Shashikant Kinikar  (English, Paperback, Shashikant Kinikar)

Kishore Kumar stands for such a unique multiplicity of talents, images and capacities that he defies any precise or conclusive evaluation. Not only did his voice lend a personality to our highly popular heroes, but he also projected himself as a versatile comedian, tragedian, dancer and singer of a wide variety of songs of different moods and spirit. Equally confounding was his personal life in his profession as well as in love and marriage. Kinikar must have laboured very hard, doing research, questioning people, digging out facts, to present Kishore Kumar's life story in narrative form...from struggle to success. It sheds light on what was unknown and stands as a record for posterity. Indeed, doing justice to Kishore in a book seems a Herculean task. Yet, Kinikar has done the utmost and diat is no small achievement.
