“Do you expect someone of Naushad’s generation to set ‘lungi-dance’ to tune? Minus poetry what is music,” says Bharatan. “But change is the name of the film game. Though it looks unlikely our music could return to its roots in the foreseeable future. It happened with Naushad’s Baiju Bawra in 1952 when hybrid music in films was at its height, it could happen again, unlikely as it sounds”, concludes Bharatan.
Naushad wanted to share his wealth of experience and started a music school. He needed to live a few more years to shape it into a real institution. Alas, it was not to be as he breathed his last on May 5, 2006.
