00:00I think there will be a lot of songs that we have given to each other, but we need to keep the melody of the song.
00:07It's only music for opening the film.
00:11There is no star or anything else.
00:14You can't become a music writer.
00:17People don't become a music writer.
00:19It doesn't work.
00:22Sir, tell us about your career and background.
00:26What do you want to tell us about the background?
00:30I know my industry and my brothers and sisters.
00:40We are from a musical family and this is our third, fourth generation in music.
00:47Jamal Sain, Shambhu Sain and Sameer Sain.
00:50And my son Sohail Sain.
00:52He is also working with me as an assistant music director.
00:55And myself, I am in this industry for the last 27 years.

01:10Shankar Jai Kishin, Kalyan Jahan Ji, R.D. Brahman, Lakshmayan Pyarelal, Pappi Leri, Anu Malai, Usha Khandlar and Rajesh Roshan.
01:22I have worked with all of them.
01:25And my background is my own.
01:29And we try to do something to do with music.
01:34And today, our audience, our people, have liked it.
01:39And we also like them.
01:41And they also like them.
01:43So why are there so long a gap?
01:45There are so many days, no film has come.
01:48Long gap, I couldn't get you.
01:52What is the gap?
01:54Last of our films was Arjun Pandit.
01:57And Kauram, Ziddi Aflatum.
02:04And we are still working.
02:06There is no gap, I think.
02:08We are still working.
02:09From last, from 90, this is 2000.
02:15And I think that's all there.
02:19But we are doing 9 to 10 films.
02:22When you think of any film,
02:25you think of which things?
02:27Research, story, or something else.
02:30For giving music in the film,
02:32we very much concentrate on story, script,
02:37the situations of the songs.
02:40The song must go with the film.
02:42It should not disturb the film.
02:44It should not disturb the film.
02:46It should go with the film.
02:51And basically, more with the film.
02:59Then commercial music,
03:02that the film should be good.
03:05And definitely,
03:06we keep the interest of our audience.

03:20like the songs we do,
03:22we do it.
03:24And the mood,
03:27the situation,
03:28We also suggest the director, but basically the singer of Mr. Rater
03:35will be final.
03:40In today's films, there is a lot of action on the item songs.
03:44What do you want to say about this?
03:46I think the items we have given are not given.
03:51The items we have given are given, but there is a lot of melody.
03:56Now, let's take a look at the beginning of the song.
04:01My heart has lost my heart.
04:03Arjun Pandit has given me a girl.
04:06We are the brothers of Banaras.
04:09We should give an item song, but there is a lot of melody.
04:17It's not cheap from the item songs.
04:23There is a lot of melody.
04:27There is a lot of good items.
04:30What will it go? What will it go? What will it go? What will it go?
04:34What will it go? What will it go?
04:36There is no time song.
04:38There is no time, but there is no long run.
04:42And we also give items songs.
04:45I mean, we try to make some of those items songs.
04:48It's a melody. It's a good words.
04:51It's a good dance moments.
04:53It's a good rhythm.
04:54In the film, there is a great role of music.
04:58What will you say about this?
05:00Today, for the opening of the film,
05:03there is only music.
05:05There is no star or anything else.
05:11How do you do this film?
05:13How do you do this film?

05:16Promotes.
05:17But the music is good.
05:19Very good.
05:20So, 100% of you will make the opening of the film.
05:23We wouldn't record the movies on the line panel now.
05:26You won't miss six-seven pictures that değişe your view from the center.
05:29But watch the music music.
05:32It's very smooth.
05:35You can also watch music in theам videocon.

05:51Thank you!
05:52The music is good and the opening of all the films are good for all of the films.
05:57Today, according to my opinion, the main hero of the film is the music.
06:04You should also know that the music is the hero of the film.
06:11Today, the opening of the film is a good show.
06:15The music is a good show.
06:17The music is a good show.
06:21The music gets the perfect music to the producer and director.
06:28Everyone works well and they know their job.
06:34The music can't be good, if the music isn't good,
06:39then it won't be the blame for the music.
06:42My opinion is that everybody is doing a very good job.
06:48Do you need a formal training for the music director?
06:53Definitely! You can't be able to do the music director.
06:56First of all, you need to live in the industry.
07:01You need to be able to do the music director.
07:04You need to be able to do the music director.
07:09You need to be able to sing and sing.
07:13Your background is training.
07:16You need to be able to sing.
07:18You need to be able to sing and sing.
07:20People don't have to sing.
07:22They don't have to sing.
07:25Training is a must.
07:28I'm talking about a music director.
07:31Who can be a cameraman.
07:33If they can come to the camera, they need to be able to sing.
07:37That's correct.
07:39Sound recordist is a recordist.
07:41All training is the most necessary.
07:43and a little gifted too.
07:49Music is a kind of thing that gets a single person from one person.
07:54So, that's very important to get a single person.
07:57Other people can't learn and sing.
08:00So, that's also a gift.
