Reasons- Why I liked Satya?????

1998-It was my 2nd year in engineering and as every hostel guy I was seeing lots of movies. I was testing new flavour of hollywod cinema staring from Jurassic park to commando to titanic to home alone and lots more. I also enjoyed Pyar to hona hi tha, Ghulam in monsoon of 1998. But unfortunately I missed the gem “satya”. Though I knew that it was a great movie by my one of the favourite -Ramgopal verma, the trailers did not aroused me to see it. While in December, when I was roaming on scooter and saw poster of satya on theatre, I immediately got into cinema hall. And one of the greatest movie experiences started. When I get out of cinema hall I was completely in the movie. I was trying to get out of the effect of the Bhiku mhatre, vidya and satya.,..but for …

The word “Sound” holds a different meaning for me post interviewing K J Singh.
A little introduction is necessary because this man has been associated with all the possible positions that encompasses music and sound in India. He has worked on Films Background Score & soundtracks like Satya, Maqbool, Rage De Basanti, Omkara, Black Friday and many more.

BACKGROUND SCORES IN HINDI MOVIES

As hindi movies are full of songs, the music directors and film makers do not concentrate on background music. Hindi movies are not giving as much importance as foreign movies are giving. Somehow trends are changing. Now our technically confident directors and music directors take background score in consideration while planing the scenes.

In 80s and 90s there were some readymade tunes which filmmakers/music directors used to play for particular scene like comedy, chase, tragedy, love, action etc.

One of the frequently used tune was used in Ghayal for opening sequence in jail�.

In early 90s directors straightly lifted background scores of Hollywood movies for ex. Mohra- When sunil shetty is fighting with other prisoners in jail�then background score is lifted from Terminator�s signature tune.

As we know sometimes background score plays more important role than dialogues. Background score can enhance effect of scene and overall movie. …

The most important part of a movie is its end�its climax�..even a dragging dud movie but with a superb climax can make it worth a watch ��..then there are movies which are exactly opposite to this�.how many times have we come out of the theater thinking about how good the opportunity was, but was all ruined in the end ��most of the bollywood movies these days belong to this category�….If I have to recall the best endings from Indian cinema in recent times, then dombivli fast stands tall��.who couldn’t feel for Madhav Apte ? �he is just been shot �injured�and now all he wants is the window seat in the local train �for never did he got a chance to sit by the window, all these days�. all his life…�.The climax totally sums up to what a common man wants these days�…just a peaceful life and nothing more then that��.and …
