His compositions for blockbusters such as Silsila and Chandni are a manifestation of his musical brilliance. Who is he?

Options:

Ustad Bismillah Khan

Pandit Shivkumar Sharma

Ustad Zakir Hussain

Jagjit Singh

Correct Answer:

Pandit Shivkumar Sharma

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → Pandit Shivkumar Sharma

Out of the choices you provided, the musician whose compositions for blockbusters like Silsila and Chandni showcased his brilliance is Pandit Shivkumar Sharma.

Here's why:

  • Pandit Shivkumar Sharma along with flutist Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia formed the composer duo Shiv-Hari, known for composing music for films like Silsila and Chandni.
  • Ustad Bismillah Khan was a renowned shehnai player, not a film music composer.
  • Ustad Zakir Hussain is a highly regarded tabla player, but his focus isn't film music composition.
  • Jagjit Singh was a ghazal singer known for his soulful voice, not film music composition.
