**Doubt:
Jaddan Bai, Saraswarti Devi, Usha Khanna, Sneha Khanwalkar are the ONLY FOUR females to have composed music in Bollywood. ...
I dont know if Marathi movies come in "bollywood", if it does, then Lata Mangeshkar too composed as "ANANDGHAN"
@Anup:Bollywood is the informal term popularly used for the Hindi-language film industry based in Mumbai. The term is often incorrectly used to refer to the whole of Indian cinema; it is only a part of the Indian film industry.So, Lata Mangeshkar is left out of this.
those weresome very good questions.enjoyed cracking them!!!!
