Gulzar on Dada S.D. Burman

During the launch of the biography 'Sun Mere Bandhu Re' on Dada S.D. Burman on 8th August 2014, Gulzar saheb paid rich tributes to Dada Burman. The book launch function was held by the publishers M/s Harper Collins at JSW auditorium in BKC, Bandra (East), Mumbai.
At times my camcorder goes out of focus due to the crowd, next to me, jostling for better view. But, the overall quality of video is pretty good.

SachinDa = artist extraordinaire timeless who spotted genius Gulzar, poet

[@WowMusicals]

Look at the gratitude, nostalgia and fondness for those beautiful good old days on Gulzar Sahab's face! Just look at the level of involvement and commitment of everyone in the song making...No wonder they produced gems that we cherish so fondly...🎉❤

[@phophalia24]

Gulzar's humbleness is to be appreciated. He gives credit to Dada Burman for bringing him from a motor garage to film industry. Gulzar's expression of working with Dada Burman for various songs incl Bandini shows how great Dada Burman was!

[@lalwanimoti]

Nirmalkumar Phophalia Gulzar wrote only one song for Burman Dada, 'Mora gora rang lai le', sung by Lata in Bandini (1963). Rest were all by Shailendra.

Gulzar is feeling nostalgic in this.. It's lovely to see as a fan.. Great Gulzar sir!!

[@kapilsethia9284]

Bandini is one of the best album of SDB and shailendra. And one of the best movie of Bimal roy.

[@shirishdesai8328]

It's not an album.. songs were an integral part of the story

[@rajamukherjee4]

I thank the amateur member of the audience to bring this priceless piece of narration by Gulzar Sahib on Dada S D Burman and legendary Bimal Roy and a priceless anecdote on "Bandini", The erratic camera movement notwithstanding, at least the microphone was excellent, it has happened many times before, when innocent bystanders have unwittingly recorded history, they deserve our heartfelt gratitude and thanks, irritation notwithstanding.

[@lalwanimoti]

@Raja Mukherjee, Thanks for generous appreciation even though the camera is being shaken by the audience next to me jostling for better space to stand and listen in the small room where the book launch was held. All the seats were taken by the audience and some of the invitees had to stand. The book was supposed to be based on my research which I handed over in volumes, but the author chose to stray away from it writing from her not so fertile imagination, how Dada or Meera would have reacted, or said. Later, I was informed by the publisher that the book didn't, which didn't surprise me a bit. The saving grace was my 10 page article, 'Afterword' on the genius S.D. Burman. I have 150 videos on KZbin which I'll recommend. Thanks.

[@rajamukherjee4]

@@lalwanimoti Sahib, I know it is a labor of love for you, I have watched most of your videos with great delight and appreciation. My apologies, I meant no offence. You have captured on video, record of the Golden Era of Indian music, and every music lover will remain eternally grateful to you. My compliments to you for such devotion and love. May your effort reach an ever expanding audience.

[@lalwanimoti]

@@rajamukherjee4 U were right about the camera, not knowing that my seat in the front was taken away, while I was chatting away with Kersi Lord, Homi Mullan, UK Dubey and Amrut Rao, all great musicians who worked with both SD and RD. Thanks for encouraging words. It was my passion for SDB which made me do this marathon research, knowing well that we are creating something unique for our future generations to know truth from falsehood being spread on internet. Thanks again.

[@subhashishdeb6602]

Well said Raja Mukherjee. Kudos to the gentleman who recorded this.

[@lalwanimoti]

@@subhashishdeb6602 Thank you dear for your generous comments which I read only today.

[@RahulKumar-gc7lc]

Thank You Sirr Moti Lalwani ji for such a Great collection which could enable us to know in deeper about S D Burman Dada...💝

[@lalwanimoti]

Rahul Kumar There is a lot more to SD Burman than I have been able to share so far. Thanks for appreciation.

[@srinivasanchanniga]

I think most part of Sachin Da's mannerism about this song situation has been already narrated by Majroooh Sahab. What I like is when Gulzar says about 'A boy in Sachin Da 's heart' That steals my heart.

[@lalwanimoti]

Srinivasan Channiga Sribhai, Very true. Thanks.

[@srinivasanchanniga]

Moti Lalwani Thank you Moti Bhai. I have seen your other interviews also. Your efforts are very laudable.

[@lalwanimoti]

Srinivasan Channiga Sribhai, Thanks for kind words. You too have been writing articles on Dada. I have always admired your body of work.

[@crazyoldsongs]

very interesting and knowledgeable to know , how deeply these great directors , composers and lyricists got involved in making a song . no wonder immortal classics were churned out in that era . lovely to listen to gulzar saheb's tribute to burman da . thank you sir .

[@lalwanimoti]

crazyoldsongs Dada S.D. Burman always took active part in picturisation of his songs, and often gave suggestions to the directors on whether a song will further promote the scene. He has written several articles, one of which is on our Hindi films and songs in them. Thanks for appreciating this upload.

[@lalwanimoti]

@Narayan Khaka, Bhola’s daughter Poornima Shrestha has spoken about her father and SD Burman in an interview with us. It’s on KZbin. Please do see it. SD undoubtedly is number one in the industry, as compared to all others. Not only as a music a director, but as a good human being. Please see my latest interview Ranjit Gazmer on SD Burman - Part Six. You will find out who’s greatest.

[@lalwanimoti]

@Sudhakar Powar ji, Agar aap hamaara mazaak uda rahein hain, to aap sahi hain. 😊 Ek chhote se kamre mein yeh function hua jahaan paanv rakhne ki bhi jagah nahin thi. Hamaari bhi seat reserve honi thi lekin kisi ne le li thi. Aage mein stage aur peeche mein press ke photographs bade, bade camera lekar khade thay. Baaki do baaju teen rows deep humlog khade thay Kitni koshish ki lekin camera ko hilne se bacha nahin paaye. Kuchh samay baad hum Gulzar sahib ko unke ghar mein mile. Woh interview bhi KZbin pe hai. “Gulzar on SD Burman - Part I “ search karenge to mil jayega hamaare hi channel par. Kul 3 parts hain. Achcha lagega. Comments ke liye shukriya.

I have one correction to make. Gulzar composed lyrics of only one song for Dada Burman in Bandini, Gora Gora Aang..

@Shirish Desai, I wish I could do that. The event was book launch on SD Burman. I was supposed to be in the front rows. All seats were taken away. Without making a fuss I stood in the crowd where guests were jostling for better view. However much I tried I could not keep my camera steady. I had to edit out some parts, not compromising on the important content. Thanks for comments. 🙏

Huge respect for gulzar sahab..🙏💐 But whosoever has shot this video was either drunked or mad..

@Atul Rocks, During the SD Burman book launch in a small hall having over 100 guests, with my front seat taken up by those whom I didn't know, a dozen or more press reporters on one side, and we standees jostling for space to have better look, it is a miracle that I could shoot this video. I had to edit the worst parts, trying to save the important ones. It's a wonder I could achieve this to reach it to fans. I am neither drunk nor mad. :) Thanks.
