Assam Based Mridul Sarma Marks His Debut As A Songwriter

A romantic single to add sparkle this festive season

Sualkuchi (Assam): Well-versed lyrics plays an important part in the success of a song and it becoming a chart buster too. MRIDUL SARMA is one of those budding talent who is out to prove himself as a songwriter

It may be recalled that once Anil Biswas, the master composer had boldly observed that the principal factor for the success or failure of a song depends on the choice of its lyrics.

On the other hand the Guinness World record holder Sameer Anjaan who has been penning soulful lyrics and ruling since 4-decades is a living example. Sameer is also looking forward in conducting an exclusive class on Unlu to teach lyrics writing to aspiring songwriters.

Here arrives the young songwriter who pens lyrics with passion and obsession. Mridul Sarma hails from Sualkuchi, a small town in Kamrup district in Assam. The town is 35 kms. from Guwahati and is a prominent textile center of Assam.

His had penned his first romantic lyrics…”Ishq Ka Dariya Behne Lagi Hai…, Jiske Yaad Mein Dil Dhadakne Lagi Hai…,

Koi Aahat Si Dil Mein Hone Lagi Hai…”. The song has been composed under the supervision of prominent music composer and singer Santosh Sinha and is available on YouTube for music lovers. The song is a big rage amongst the youngsters.

Mridul Sarma says that the pandemic has brought about changes in people as to how they consume and appreciate music. Even the music not only in films but also in various types of albums has changed. More attention is given to the sound rather than its lyrics.

The 33-year old lyricist recalls,  “The films made during Black & White era are primarily remembered for their immortal melodies. But it is an  irony that the role of the  respective lyricist have been adequately evaluated.”

Mridul Sarma loved to hear music from a very tender age. He made his father (who ran a printing press) buy a music system for his personal use. Slowly he developed a huge library of music cassettes. Every audio cassette released in the market finds its way and adds on to his collections.

He idolises Sameer as his guru and listens to his songs which had been especially scored by Nadeem Shrawan. He even listens to songs penned by Gulzar and Javed Akhtar too. He gets mesmerized whenever he listens their songs He even  likes to watch old romantic movies like “Aashiqui”. “Dil”, “Sadak” etc. again and again.

“The success of a song comes as an assurance,” he adds.  Meanwhile with festivities in the air he is penning some soulful and devotional numbers… Mridul Sarma is the generation next songwriter to be watched out for…..

Hitting the hit list Prem Rai’s film Aatankvadi gained massive audience love once again like his previous movies

For many people, the entertainment sector goes beyond just a standard one. It is a significant change in their lives. Let’s take a look at the life of a person who had nothing and who got the chance to shine because of his talent in the film industry, which gave his life a significant turn. We have heard a lot of success tales. But who deserves the real credit in light of all the circumstances? We must express our gratitude to the producer for finding the talents and giving them a platform to showcase their skills. Due to the shift from a single producer to several production houses, and according to some reports, even underworld plays, the film industry has grown tremendously. The success of a film means the success of a producer. If you want to see some of the finest work of some producers then the work of Prem Rai is highly recommended. He is one of the best producers of bhojpuri films.

Prem Rai gave many popular films to the film industry. His commendable work is well showcased through his films. The popular films such as Hindutva ,Aatankvadi, Saiyan Superstar, aashiq awara, and janeman, gained massive amounts of love from the people. The way he represented his film to the audience created curiosity among the audience. Apart from the film making, his nature and character is loved by his teammates. Everyone feels really happy to work with him. Where today, most of the producers believe in focusing on presenting repeated story depiction to the audience, he strongly believes in representing something unique to the audience. He believes that audiences are the main reason for film success, if they found the film really interesting only then the film can be titled as a ‘ super hit’.

Working in the film industry is obviously not easy work. One has to tackle the competition in the entertainment industry and so does Prem Rai. Despite losing hopes after failing in competition, he believes in strongly rising up everytime, This is the prominent reason of his films success.

Celebrity curator Nisha JamVwal presents artist Lata Balakrishna

Nisha JamVwal, celebrity columnist, art curator, interior architect and interior stylist presents Lata Balakrishna, a Morden contemporary indian artist whose oeuvre she showcased at the Taj Mahal Hotel Art Gallery that has also exhibited works by the legendary MF Husain and FN Souza.

Says JamVwal “Lata Balakrishna invited me to see her work as many artists do all over the world with the desire that I host a solo show for them. I went without expecting much as I almost always do. It would be an understatement to say that I was moved by what I interpreted as canvasas that speak of a  flow of life with a riot of colored nuances and experience.

The chiaroscuro of of shadow and sunshine, the showers of color in meandering waters drew me into her world, where the title ‘meandering’ came to me not only because of a travel junkie thirsting to explore a world outside her childhood in Jalandar, but I saw her art as journey exploring her own mind.

Women all over the world face challenges multitasking home and work, ever the champions who go through life traipsing over hurdles  that life poses.

Often employed at work outside and running a home simultaneously bearing babies and rearing them, caring and managing the family needs- the story is deeply etched in the Indian scenario and culture of joint families, arranged matrimony and the ensuing characteristics of all this in the predominantly male chauvinistic society that is India.

In Lata’s works I am lost in a kaleidoscope of emotions that play out using symbolic metaphor as tools of expression seeking more from life; breaking free from the regimented routine hurdles and monotonous repetitive mundane.”

The show will open with a grand dinner at Recca Kala Ghoda followed by gala high teas that spread over four days – welcoming famed collectors, architects, artists, socialites and other celebrities.

Guests will enthrall in the textured whites and vibrancy in clouds and waters that take us at once into a minds search for the meaning of life.

Ashfaque Khopekar Writer- Director Of Many Feature And Short Films

मायानगरी केवल अभिनेताओं की नहीं अपितु रुपहले पर्दे के पीछे की भी दुनिया है जिसे लोग नज़रअंदाज़ कर देते हैं। लेकिन पर्दे के पीछे के इन्हीं लोगों की बदौलत रुपहला पर्दा चमकता है। इस पर्दे के पीछे निर्देशक, निर्माता, मेकअप आर्टिस्ट, जूनियर आर्टिस्ट, डांसर, लाइट मैन, टेक्नीशियन, स्पॉटबॉय, मजदूर और ना जाने कितने लोग शामिल रहते हैं। इन पर्दे के पीछे के नगीनों का चयन कर दादासाहब फाल्के फाउंडेशन अवार्ड उनकी योग्यता को परख कर सम्मानित करता है। ऐसे ही हीरों को हौसला दिलाने वाले नवीन राह दिलाने वाले हैं अशफाक कोपेकर।

अशफाक कोपेकर दादासाहब फाल्के फ़िल्म फाउंडेशन के अध्यक्ष हैं। वर्तमान में वह स्क्रीन राइटर ऑफ इंडिया असोसिएशन के अध्यक्ष भी हैं। साथ ही इंडियन फ़िल्म डायरेक्टर असोसिएशन के साथ भी जुड़े है। इसके अलावा अशफाक कोपेकर विभिन्न असोसिएशन के साथ जुड़े हुए हैं। जहाँ वे फ़िल्म इंडस्ट्री से जुड़े हुए लोगों के साथ विभिन्न क्षेत्रों के लोगों की भी सहायता करते हैं और उन्हें उचित प्लेटफार्म भी मुहैया कराते हैं।

उनका मुख्य कार्य लेखन और निर्देशन है। इतने वर्षों से फ़िल्म उद्योग से जुड़ कर वह अनोकोनेक कार्य करते जा रहे हैं।

फ़िल्म उद्योग से जुड़ी कुछ बातों को लेकर अशफाक कोपेकर से हुई बातचीत के कुछ महत्वपूर्ण अंश…

प्रश्न – आप कब से फ़िल्म इंडस्ट्री से जुड़े हैं?

उत्तर – उन्नीस सौ तिरानवे से मैं फ़िल्म उद्योग से जुड़ा हुआ हूँ। जिसमें फ़िल्म उद्योग के रुपहले पर्दे और उसके पीछे जुड़े विभिन्न कामों को करता आ रहा हूँ। जैसे फिल्मों का निर्देशन, लेखन आदि कार्य।

प्रश्न – आपकी पहली शुरुआत कैसी रही और आपने क्या कार्य किया?

उत्तर – मुख्यतः मेरा मूल कार्य लेखन और निर्देशन है। मेरी पहली धरावाहिक ‘आजादी की ओर’ है और धीरे धीरे अपने कार्यों से आगे का पड़ाव चढ़ता गया।

प्रश्न – आप विभिन्न असोसिएशन से जुड़े हुए हैं इस बारे में व्याख्या करेंगे?

उत्तर – वर्तमान में स्क्रीन राइटर ऑफ इंडिया असोसिएशन का अध्यक्ष पद पर हूँ साथ ही दादा साहब फाल्के फ़िल्म असोसिएशन का अध्यक्ष हूँ। इंडियन डायरेक्टर असोसिएशन जैसे कई असोसिएशन के साथ जुड़ा हूँ और साथ मिलकर कार्य भी कर रहा हूँ।

प्रश्न – विगत कुछ वर्षों से दादासाहब फाल्के फ़िल्म फाउंडेशन के आयोजन ना हो पाने का क्या कारण है?

उत्तर – दादा साहब फ़िल्म फाउंडेशन अवार्ड का आयोजन ना हो पाने का मुख्य कारण कोरोना प्रोटोकॉल है। विगत दो वर्ष से कोरोना महामारी के कारण सरकार के आदेशनुसार भीड़ इकट्ठी करने की मनाही थी। जबकि हमारे अवार्ड शो में बत्तीस से भी ज्यादा असोसिएशन का साथ होता है और एक असोसिएशन से बीस से पच्चीस लोग शामिल होते हैं। बिना असोसिएशन के सदस्यों के अवार्ड नहीं कर सकते साथ ही फ़िल्म इंडस्ट्री से जुड़े सभी लोग रहते हैं ऐसे में भीड़ बढ़ जाती है। लगभग हजारों लोगों को इकट्ठा करने का सरकार द्वारा आदेश प्राप्त नहीं है जिस कारण यह कार्यक्रम करने में कठिनाई हुई। हमारे ही नहीं इस कोरोना प्रोटोकॉल के कारण कई असोसिएशन के कार्य में बाधा आयी है। वैसे इस बार हमारी असोसिएशन का प्रयास है कि सरकार से आदेश प्राप्त कर अवार्ड का आयोजन किया जाए।

प्रश्न – आप दादासाहब फाल्के फ़िल्म फाउंडेशन के लिए योग्य उम्मीदवार का चयन कैसे करते हैं?

उत्तर – इस अवॉर्ड में केवल हमारे असोसिएशन का ही कार्य नहीं होता बल्कि लगभग बत्तीस से ज्यादा असोसिएशन हमारे साथ जुड़े हुए हैं। वे ही हर क्षेत्र से चुनाव कर योग्य अवार्डी का नाम रिकमेंड करते हैं। साथ ही हमारे ज्यूरी मेम्बर भी होते हैं जो चयन प्रक्रिया में साथ निभाते हैं। यह चयन पूर्णतः निष्पक्ष और बहुमत के आधार पर होता है। इसमें योग्यता के आधार पर चुनाव कर निर्णय लिया जाता है। इसमें किसी पदाधिकारी का हस्तक्षेप नहीं रहता।

प्रश्न – यह अवॉर्ड किन क्षेत्र विशेष को दिया जाता है?

उत्तर – इस अवार्ड में सिल्वर स्क्रीन में दिखाई देने वाले लोगों से पहले जो फिल्मी पर्दे के पीछे काम कर रहे हैं उन लोगों का चयन कर अवार्ड से सम्मानित किया जाता है। साथ ही उन्हें ग्यारह हजार की राशि और अन्य सहायता भी प्रदान की जाती है। फ़िल्म निर्माण से जुड़े मेकअप मैन, डांसर, जूनियर आर्टिस्ट, टेक्नीशियन आदि इस अवार्ड में शामिल होते हैं।

प्रश्न – दादासाहब फाल्के फ़िल्म फाउंडेशन अवार्ड की शुरुआत कैसे हुई अभी वर्तमान में दादा साहब के नाम से कई अवार्ड हो रहे हैं। आप इस बारे में कुछ मार्गदर्शन देना चाहेंगे?

उत्तर – दादासाहब फाल्के फ़िल्म फाउंडेशन अवार्ड हम बहुत पहले से करते आ रहे हैं। पहले इसका नाम दादा साहब फाल्के एकेडेमिक अवार्ड था बाद में इसका नाम परिवर्तित किया गया है। यह अवार्ड हमने दादासाहब के जन्मदिन के अवसर पर उनकी स्मृति और सम्मान में शुरू किया है। दादासाहब के नाम के इस अवार्ड को शाहरुख खान अपने ऑफिस में सामने रखते हैं, जबकि उनके पास अवार्ड्स की कोई कमी नहीं है। हाँ, वर्तमान में इस नाम से कई अवार्ड शो चलाये जा रहे हैं लेकिन मुझे उनसे कोई गिला नहीं क्योंकि वे अपनी आजीविका या प्रसिद्धि हेतु यह कर रहे हैं। किंतु जो वास्तविक है वह वास्तविक रहेगा कोई उसका मुखौटा लगाकर पूर्ण जीत प्राप्त नहीं कर सकता। वास्तविकता वो भी जानते हैं और अंजाम भी, अतः अपना कार्य पूर्ण यत्न से करते रहो।

प्रश्न – आप स्टार मेकर्स के लिए भी कार्य कर रहे हैं इस विषय की ओर आपका ध्यान कैसे गया?

उत्तर – हमारा असोसिएशन स्टार मेकर्स द्वारा चयनित योग्य और अच्छे गायकों को गाइड करता है और उचित प्लेटफॉर्म मुहैया कराता है। हमारे देश में योग्यताओं की कमी नहीं है। अभिनय और गायन क्षेत्रों में तो प्रतिभाओं का कोई सानी ही नहीं है। लॉकडाउन के दौरान हमने सोचा कि देश की इन प्रतिभाओं को मौका दिया जाए। जो भी स्टारमेकर्स के गायक हम तक पहुंचते हैं, हम उनकी सहायता करते है। खंडवा की तरुणा शुक्ला जो आल इंडिया रेडियो में गाती थी, उसे उसी के होमटाउन में गायन के क्षेत्र में प्लेटफॉर्म मुहैया कराया गया। उससे ‘लोरी’ गीत गवाया गया और डिजिटल प्लेटफार्म तक पहुंचाया। हाल ही में वडोदरा की वसुंधरा पंड्या को भी मौका दिया गया है। ऐसे ही नवीन और योग्य गायकों को मौका देकर उन्हें एलबम, फ़िल्म, शार्ट फ़िल्म आदि में गायन का मौका दिया जाता है और उनका मार्गदर्शन कर नया रास्ता देने की कोशिश की जाती है।

प्रश्न – दादासाहब फाल्के फाउंडेशन में क्या क्षेत्रीय स्तर के कलाकारों या फिल्मों को स्थान दिया जाता है?

उत्तर – जी, हमने अपने असोसिएशन के तहत क्षेत्रीय ही नहीं पड़ोसी देशों को भी भाग लेने का अवसर दिया है। बांग्लादेश और नेपाल से योग्य लोगों का चुनाव किया है। अलग अलग प्रांतीय क्षेत्रों से भी दो- दो योग्य लोगों का चुनाव भी किया जाता है। जो अलग अलग विभाग से होते हैं जैसे टेक्नीशियन, आर्टिस्ट आदि। इन्हें पुरस्कार के साथ धनराशि भी दिया जाता है और जल्द ही इनके इन्शुरेंस और पेंशन प्लान देने के बारे में भी विचार किया जा रहा है।

प्रश्न – क्या आप राजनीति में भी प्रवेश करना चाह रहे हैं?

उत्तर – नहीं, राजनीति में मेरी कोई रुचि नहीं है, मैं सर्वधर्म सर्वभाव में विश्वास रखता हूँ। मेरा मुख्य उद्देश्य मानवता के लिए हितकर काम करना है। मैं सभी को मानवतावादी दृष्टि से देखता हूँ ना कि धर्म विशेष जानकर। मैं दहिसर में ओम्कारेश्वर साई मंदिर ट्रस्ट का चैयरमेन हूँ तो वहीं बोरीवली में मस्जिद कमिटी में भी शामिल हूँ।

प्रश्न – युवा लोग जो मायानगरी के चमक को देखकर आते हैं किंतु कहीं खो जाते हैं आप उनके लिए क्या कहना चाहेंगे?

उत्तर – अगर आप कुछ करना चाहते हैं तो अपना स्वास्थ्य पर ध्यान दो। स्वस्थ तन है तो स्वस्थ मन होगा। स्वस्थ मन आगे बढ़ने के लिए हौसला और संयम प्रदान करेगा। ऊंचाई पाने के लिए शॉर्टकट नहीं अपनाओ अपने काबिलियत पर भरोसा कर धैर्य के साथ आगे बढ़ोगे तो मंजिल जरूर मिलेगी।
