This jury chose S. D. Burman as 'The Most Popular Composer' ever, that is from the beginning of our music, till the date of the selection.
If one googles Outlook Magazine and goes to their issue of June 26, 2006, one can read the entire article, including readers' comments.
Ameen Sayani: What had happened was that (3.08)…. ……, that Hindi film music was at its zenith from the fifties. Actually, late forties, I'd say, it started coming into its own, with the playback system coming in, and all that. It was fabulous! And, Hindi film music was the greatest medium for the spread of national integration, and for the spread of the national language. Plus, it was the best home entertainment, and All India Radio used to play a lot of film music! A very good farmaishee programme was there. This was in the late forties, early fifties. The came Information and Broadcasting minister, in India, called Dr B. V. Keskar.
I remember his name.
Who was a very, sort of, serious minded person, who did not like any tarak bharak. He did not like any kind of popular entertainment.
Ya, ya. (4.25)
He was into classical music or folk music. He created some sugam sangeet that is light music. And, the entire lot of film songs – and All India Radio had the best library of film songs ever in the world – he banned film music in the fifties. Records were broken, thrown away.
Broken?
Broken also and thrown away. Or they were sold off, or given away. The whole, their entire library was cleared off Hindi film music.
And, Keskar had made such a lot of restrictions in All India Radio, not only banning Hindi film music, he had created a kind of boring seriousness. Announcers were not allowed to smile, they were not allowed to crack jokes, they were supposed to seriously very ……. announce, "ki yeh Akaaswani hai,ab aap sunenge, Mohd Rafi aur Lata Mangeshkar se ek pyar bhara jugal gaan."
Serious voice, as if to indicate ki yaar, may be some great national leader has popped off. (Every one has a hearty laugh.) We were told that All India Radio is doing it, so, you go ahead and do any damn thing you want.
smart guys
