favourite R.D.Burman's compositions?
It is impossible for me to single out four or five songs. I used to love his
jazz music. It's easier for me to remember the music of his films which kept me
enthralled - Mere Jeevan Saathi, Teesri Manzil, Ghar and Kati Patang. And now
there's 1942 - A Love Story.
Do you think enough is being done to keep R.D.Burman's memory alive? What
would you like the music companies to do?
Music companies are taking an interest... but what more will they do than bring
out one cassette after another? It's sad, when a man is alive he's ignored,
after his death people comes in droves.
What are you doing to make sure that people don't forget him?
I am grateful to Filmfare that it has announced an award for a fresh new music
director. Even after my death the R.D.Burman-Filmfare-Times FM award will keep
his memory alive.
Just one last question.. what are you busy with right now?
I'm recording non-film songs, singing for a few films. Soon I'll also be busy
with my concerts which were planned over a year ago. Let's see.. tomorrow is
another day.
