There is always an understanding when you work with your frequent collaborators. Then there were LP ( Laxmikant-Pyarelal) and ( Anand) Bakshi saab, Pancham da and Gulzar saab. There were Shankar-Jaikishan saab and Hasrat Jaipuri saab and Shailendra saab. You would have never heard or read about me saying anything against anybody.īut yes, there has always been a trend of working in a team in Bollywood. I have had a cordial relationship with each one of them. Who did you enjoy working with the most?īesides him, there are several music directors I have worked with on several projects and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. You have worked with several music directors over the years. IMAGE: Sonali Bendre in the song Hamma Hamma from Mani Ratnam's Bombay. I see so many music programmers and arrangers becoming music directors.Įverybody wants to show their ' jalwa', whether they have it in them or not. Producers call the music director at 2 pm and demand a new song at 4 pm.Īlso, anybody can become a music director now, as if it does not require any talent. We live in such a fast-paced, chaotic and stressful world. Have we really fallen short of creativity that we rely so much on recreating old songs?īut I know there is another side to the coin. The rights lie with producers and I cannot do anything about that.īut my heart knows how much I dislike this trend. Why did they remix it for the heck of it?' When they recreated my song Hamma Hamma, hundreds of people messaged me, saying, "How could they do this?'īelieve me, after the release of the remix, several youngsters came up to me and said, 'Sir, the original song was too good. We strived to come up with new words, new songs and new melodies. Nobody from my generation recreated them. Such wonderful songs were written back in the '60s and the '70s. Something untoward happened and I opted out of the project. I had already written five songs for Devdas, but things did not work out for a variety of reasons. Lyricists and music composers keep creating new songs and adding them to their bank. We had created songs like Chand Chhupa Badal Mein and Tadap Tadap Ke several years before Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam was made. Part 1: 'Today's kids are singing my songs'Īfter the huge success of Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, why did not we see you collaborate with Ismail Darbar and Sanjay Leela Bhansali again on Devdas?.Mehboob, who is all set to make a comeback in the Tiger Shroff starrer Heropanti 2, looks back at his popular music in a conversation with Contributor Mohnish Singh. One of Bollywood's notable lyricists Mehboob feels proud that the younger generation still sings his songs.
