because they are the PUBLISHERS of this very book

Dear Gulzarsaab, Aap ne itne music
directors ke saath kaam kiyaa hain. Lekin the Pancham-Gulzar magic was
something else. Now, my question is- What, according to you, did you find
in Panchamda, which was so distinctly different from other music directors,
which created that magic? I mean strictly as a music composer, barring
the fact that you had such excellent friendship!

there talked (you can skip the eating part if you wish :)).
|
6:18:00 AM

I think the understanding and sharing
of the script, that was to be transferred to a film.. we shared a lot
roots to do that sort of creativity... The composition was never imposed
on a situation... the situations sprouted the melody..

Hello Gulzarji...What are your feelings
about Kishore Kumar ( KK as a person and an all rounder personality of

the world does not know ?

Gulzar saab, recently you worked a
lot with Anu Malik which in my opinion was not the best thing to do (sorry
to any AM fans present here). On one chance he also went ahead to claim
that according to YOU he reminded you of R. D. Burman - that you made
him sit in the place that you have kept reserved in your room for Panchamda.
Speaking for myself as a die-hard fan of Panchamda and ofcourse you, this
came as a real rude shock. My question is was there any amount of truth
in this claim of his?

Dear Gulzarsaab, your films had different
music directors like Madan Mohanji, Salilda, Pt.Ravishankarji, and of
course, Panchamda. Was this choice dependent on the producers? And if
you had a say in it, how did you decide who would do justice to the songs?
Because, irrespective of the fact as to who did the music....your films
always had the most melodious music scores. What was your criteria in
selecting the MD?

Gulzar saab, recently you worked a
lot with Anu Malik which in my opinion was not the best thing to do (sorry
to any AM fans present here). On one chance he also went ahead to claim
that according to YOU he reminded you of R. D. Burman - that you made
him sit in the place that you have kept reserved in your room for Panchamda.
Speaking for myself as a die-hard fan of Panchamda and ofcourse you, this
came as a real rude shock. My question is was there any amount of truth
in this claim of his?

Dear Gulzarsaab, I can see you have
too many questions to answer...Lol! But I will just repeat my question,
in case it slips down the scroll bar: Your films had different music directors
like Madan Mohanji, Salilda, Pt.Ravishankarji, and of course, Panchamda.
Was this choice dependent on the producers? And if you had a say in it,
how did you decide who would do justice to the songs? Because, irrespective
of the fact as to who did the music....your films always had the most
melodious music scores. What was the criteria in selecting the MD?

one thing to be picked' from all your work to be remmbered , it will be
'Mirza Ghalib'. You would have made a place in the history just by making
'Mirza Ghalib'

Sir, can you please put the controversy
about your first song to rest once and for all (hopefully)? As you may
know there was someone with the name Gulzar Deenvi who wrote some songs
for films (e.g.: Shriman Satyawadi-1960) in 50s, before you wrote "mora
gora ang lai le". Was he someone else and not you? You can chhose
to ignore this if you wish, but it's an often-raised question.
