From 'Mora gora ang lai le', his first film lyric written for Bimal Roy's Bandini in 1963, to the Oscar-winning 'Jai ho' from Slumdog Millionaire, Gulzar has brought a rare poetic sensibility to popular Hindi film music over a five-decade-long career. His sophisticated insights into psychological complexities, his ability to capture the essence of nature's sounds and spoken dialects in written words, and above all his inimitable - and often surprising - imagery have entertained his legions of fans over successive generations. It features anecdotes about the composition of the lyrics as well as sketches...
Gulzar, the famous director and writer, who is known both for his sensitivity and simplicity, received much critical acclaim for both the films. Whether he is conjuring up exquisite lyrics, authoring delectable screen plays or directing profoundly moving celluloid odes, Gulzar, peerless poet, sensitive writer and outstanding filmmaker, is a consummate master of his craft. The world that the man behind the genius inhabits is as magical as his inimitable creative output. He has several books to his credit which include highly acclaimed poetry and short story anthologies including Silences, Raat Pashmine Ki, Autumn Moon, Raavi Paar and Other Stories amongst others.
