Alauddin Ali a mentor, a father, an inspiration

One of the greatest composers in the history of Bangladesh, Alauddin Ali breathed his last on August 9 at 5:50 pm. He was laid to rest at the Mirpur Martyred Intellectual Graveyard on Monday, after his Namaz-e-janazawas held at Khilgaon Taltola mosque and FDC. Alauddin Ali, who directed music for over 300 films, loved to spend time with his friends, family and peers. This pictorial is in remembrance of the beloved 8-time National Award winner.
