Hi Ehsaan!
Thanks for your frank opinions on this controversial subject. I have one question to you regarding the composition style in hindi Film Music. In hey days of IR and MSV in TFM, the boldness with with light music was pushed towards classical music was very evident. The experimentation level was also generally very high. Offbeat tunes based on rare raagas were often used by MSV , KVM and IR and they got successful too(popular response). In hindi film world, were there any such phases? I can recollect only Salilda's bold use of folk and Ravindra jain's use of pure hindustani classical. I hope to hear more khayaals, abhangs and natyageets from you guys atleast in the future.
Thanks and regards,
Jaiganesh

How do music directors find new singers? Do aspiring singers send you demo tapes? Do you have talent scouts?

Dears Mr Shankar, Mr Ehsaan, Mr Loy,

Hallo! I am one of the millions who are great Old Hindi Film Music lovers and also NOW became your fan. Frankly speaking, I have not heard your ALL scores, but still claim to be your fan after listening to some of them.

The main reason for this is the last Saturday evening here in 'Pune Festival' during your magnificent performance. The audience was completely mad for you and really involved totally in your music.

On personal level, the thing created a great respect and love for three of you when I had opportunity to click you in the Green Room after the show. I was with my two friends, Ajay Naik & Pramod Tupe (he had participated in 'star yar kalakar' with Mr Shankar). Your totally down to earth nature & attitude is found very rare in today's glamourous film industry. I really have don't words to express my feelings after experiencing the top positioned artists' behavious with us.

I thank you for the same sincerely wish the brightest future.

Just a curiosity to know whether all three of you compose the music or divide the things such as composing, arranging, conducting etc?

Eagerly waiting for your response, sirs. With Warm Regards...

Hi Ehsaan,
I was just thinking, How many singers are really totally Hindi speaking???

Kishore Kumar, Kumar Sanu, Abhijeet, Babul Supriyo are all from West Bengal...

Udit Narayan is from Bihar, near the Nepal border...

KK (or Krishna Kumar Menon) is from Kerala...
