==Career==
Vinod started composing songs for films in 1946.

So Vinod had Lata sing some Punjabi film songs in his Punjabi film ''Chaman'' (1948). Then he composed music for the 1949 film ''Ek Thi Ladki'', which, along with the song ''Larra Lappa Larra Lappa Layi Rakhda, Addi Tappa Addi Tappa Layi Rakhda'' became a hit song, sung by [[Lata Mangeshkar]] and [[Mohammad Rafi]].<ref name=upperstall>[https://upperstall.com/profile/lata-mangeshkar/ Profile of Lata Mangeshkar on upperstall.com website] Retrieved 28 August 2018</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=film Ek Thi Ladki (1949) on hindigeetmala.net website|url=http://www.hindigeetmala.net/movie/ek_thi_ladki.htm|access-date=28 August 2018}}</ref> He moved to [[Bombay]] when Roop Kumar Shorey, a producer for whom Vinod had previously composed songs, brought his team there. Vinod composed music for thirty-six films, viz. thirty in Hindi and six in Punjabi language. He also composed four non-film songs. It was typical for Vinod, as a music composer, to insert Hindi songs in Punjabi films and Punjabi song lyrics in Hindi film songs.<ref name=tribune/>
