THE MUSICAL DEPTH OF BOLLYWOOD

DEAR READERS,
I WENT TO THE SAHARA RECORDING STUDIO WHICH IS SITUATED IN THE GOREGAON (W) OF MUMBAI.AFTER BREAKING THE NATIONAL RECORD OF TABLA IN 1997.I SHOWED THE MUSICIANS THEIR MY PRESS CLIPPINGS ,THEY APPRECIATED IT AND TOLD ME TO PLAY TABLA AND THAT TOO ON 17 MAATRAAS(17 BEATS).I TOLD ,FINE,PLEASE PLAY THE LEHRA OF 17 BEATS ON THE HARMONIUM.THE BEST SYNTHESIZER PLAYER OF MUMBAI TRIED TO MAKE THE LEHRA OF 17 BEATS FOR HALF AN HOUR AND SURRENDERD.THEN ,I TOLD FINE PLEASE PLAY THE LEHRA OF 16 BEATS.THE STUDIO WAS FULL OF PERCUSSIONIST AS THE FILM RECORDING WAS GOING TO START.THERA WERE 20 BEST TABLA PLAYERS LISTENING TO ME,10 DHOLAK AND NAAL PLAYERS,5 DRUM PLAYERS,5 GUITARISTS,5 SYNTHESIZER PLAYERS,5 SAXOPHONE PLAYERS,15 VIOLINISTS ETC. AFTER MY 30 MINUTES OF TABLA RECITAL THE ENTIRE MUSICIANS CONTINUED CLAPPING FOR 10 MINUTES.
THE PRODUCER WHO WAS SITTING IN THE RECORDING CONTROL ROOM WAS WATCHING ALL THESE ACTIVITIES ALONG WITH THE FILM STARS,CALLED ME INSIDE THE CABIN AND STARTED SCOLDING ME INFRONT OF THE FILM STARS IN JEALOUSY,BECAUSE HE FELT DEMORALISED,BECAUSE THAT TEAM BELONGED TO THE NO.1 MUSIC DIRECTOR OF BOLLYWOOD WHOM HE PAID RS. 1 CRORE FOR THE MUSIC DIRECTION.HE TOLD ME THAT I WASTED HIS 1 HR. TIME ,SO THIS WAS A LOSS OF RS. 25,000 FOR HIM.THEN I RETURNED BACK .THIS THE STANDARD OF BOLLYWOOD.GOT IT?
SINCERELY,
RINKU ADARSH
