There is no question of getting Oscar early or late: Gulzar
Renowned poet-lyricist Gulzar who picked up an Oscar for the song "Jai Ho" from the multi-award winning film "Slumdog Millionaire" said Thursday there was no question of getting "an Oscar early or late".
Composer siblings Salim and Sulaiman Merchant have once again churned out a potential hit album with "Luck". The soundtrack of the film, which stars Sanjay Dutt and Imran Khan, is powerful, hip, edgy and very impressive.
Madan Mohan, who created unforgettable Hindi film songs like "Aap ki nazron ne samjha", "Dil dhundta" and "Lag jaa gale", received much appreciation from fans and peers but this did not translate into awards, says the legendary composer's son Sanjeev Kohli.
He is someone who called himself as 'Bad' and 'Dangerous', and still was loved by one and all, the world over. We are indeed talking about the one and only 'King of Pop' Michael Jackson, the very name who invented the cult 'Moon Walking' dance step.
It sounds too good to be true but Pritam seems to have kept all his brilliant compositions on hold between Jab We Met and Love Aaj Kal. Yes, he has had quite a few good albums in the form of Race, Jannat, Singh Is Kinng and Kismat Konnection in the interim as well but his attachment of Imtiaz and his film is visible in the compositions of Love Aaj Kal.
"Pirated version of Love Aaj Kal songs are not the final version" - Pritam
Piracy has hit the soundtrack of Love Aaj Kal. The songs from this Pritam composed album are freely available on internet. If this wasn't bad enough, the composer is further hurt by the fact that the version available for download is not even the final mix.
Passionate, in fact, is the first word that comes on Sanjeev Kohli's mind when he talks about his father, the legendary music composer of Indian cinema and an instinctive genius, Late Madan Mohan. And it's not just music; you can see that it's also his fellow colleagues, his spools, his LP records, his cupboard and his drink.
