“A coincidental singer - Madhushree ”

"Bollywood singer Madhushree, who has numbers like “Kabhi Neem Neem” (“Yuva”), “Tu Bin Bataye” (“Rang De Basanti”), “Hum Hain Is Pal Yahan” (“Kisna”) to her credit, was recently in the city to celebrate the spirit of Independence Day through her event. The evening saw actors like Zeenat Aman and Shatrughan Sinha in attendance, besides General VK Singh and several Army officials making an appearance."

"'When I sang earlier, people thought it was Alka or Sadhna'...Singer Madhushree Bhattacharya, the voice behind Tum Bin Bataye, Mahi Ve, Kabhi Neem Neem and so on. At first, Madhushree Bhattacharya's name may not strike a chord, but mention 'Tum Bin Bataye' from Rang De Basanti or 'Kabhi Neem Neem' from Yuva, and you'll get the connection. The honey-coated voice that belongs to these songs is none other than that of Madhushree."

"With a voice just as sweet as her name, Madhushree has lent her voice to many memorable compositions in films such as Moksha, Yuva, Aayitha Ezhuthu, Kal Ho Naa Ho, Anbe Aaruyire, Kuch Naa Kaho, Guru, Rang De Basanti, Aalwar, Unnale Unnale, Sivaji, Tehzeeb, Jodhaa Akbar, Mukhbir, Kisna, Swades, Saathiya and Welcome to Sajjanpur.

"Tune into Madhushree voice behind songs like Kabhi Neem Neem, Naina Milaike...This classical singers fate has been catapulted by YUVA Mani Ratnam's yet to be released films. Her richly textured voice in the ballad harmony of Kabhi Neem Neem composed by A.R.Rahman caught people's fancy. Even before movie has hit the screen five lakh copies of the album have been sold and Madhushree (Sujata Bhattacharya) has no regrets leaving behind her career as a classical singer."
