Thodasa Roomani Ho Jayen 1991, On Madhavi's request Options

[hildebrand]

Hello all
Thanks a lot for the upload Sangeetji and Hum Tum. I too remember seeing the movie on Doordarshan. It was a really good movie but I also have never found the CD/DVDs. I agree that many of these are difficult to find. (true for most non-commercial cinema and most flops!)
Although Maverick I do have many of the Satyajit Ray movies. If you happen to be near my area you can take them from me. (I have the Apu trilogy, teen kanya, kanchenjunga, charulatha among other with english subtitles). Since they are a few GB its not practical uploading them somewhere.
Regards
Hildebrand

Dear Forum Members,

Please reupload the songs of this awesome movie.The very mention of this movies brings such fond memories. I watched it the first & only time when it was aired on DoorDarshan prime channel sometimes around 1992. I was a 10 year old teenager then.

Loved the songs in the very first go. I also have a favour to ask. Please share any info regarding the home delivery of such movies in India by e-shopping. I hv been looking for the VCD/DVD's of some of these movies since ages like :

1) Thoda Sa Roomani Ho Jaye
2) Sooraj Ka Satwa Ghoda
3) Kaliyug - 1981
4) Almost all of Satyajit Ray's & Shyam Benegal movies

Thanks.. Please reupload the songs.
Maverick

Buddy Humtum,

I am still reeling under the intoxicating music of 'Thoda sa Roomani Ho Jaye'. Its difficult to put it down, however it had also envoked quite a querries regarding the muscial team of this movie. Do you or some other forum members enlighten us regarding the MD (Bhaskar Chandavarkar) & the lead singers?

Is the MD related to Leena Chandavarkar (4th wife of Kishore Kumar)? From which part of India does he comes from? I am inquisitive to understand, what might be the influence to come up with such classic music, which has a contemporary music sense. It closely resembles Tagore's 'Rabindra Music; I must say. (Incidently '1942 a Love Story' (1994) & Shantanu Moitra's Parineeta were also heavily laced with Rabindra muisc). I got to learn a little tit-bits abt him here:http://www.tribuneindia.com/1999/99sep10/art-trib.htm However I would love to know more about him.

The singers, as far as I know 'Chaya Ganguli' sounds bengali, however is she active on bangla music industry like Arati Mukherjee? I never get to hear any of her bangla music though. The only other songs of hers I am aware of is the classic jaidev's Gaman song .. 'Raat Baar'

Milind Ingle, another singer is the one who came up with a private album 'Yeh hain Prem'. I absolutely loved all his compositions in that album. Do you guys know of any other such songs from his stable?

I would love to get more such music from this gifted MD.

Maverick

P.S I often wonder why Illiyaraja, MM Keervani, Uttam Singh & Hridayanath are not coaxed by movie makers to give more music in Hindi Films. They had so much to offer to us.

First Maverick we have to thank Sangeet bhai for his excellent ripping and upload of this album.

It is great to read your write about the album and the singers, MD. In fact after reading I was curious to get some info about this MD. Bhaskar Chandavarkar (almost all Chandavarkars hail from North Canara - mother tongue apparently is konkani)..

Here's something I found about Bhaskar Chandavarkar.

Commercial cinema not his cup of tea

BHASKAR Chandavarkar, one of the best rated musicians in the country, who created the score for landmarks like "Khandahar", "Thodasa Rumani Ho Jaaye", has turned his back to cinema as his kind of films are not being made.

"The kind of films I used to make music for are not being made anymore. Nobody gives money to people who make this kind of films. Shyam Benegal has almost stopped making films. We hear of Govind Nihalani’s ‘Hazaar Chaurasi Ki Ma’. But it is never seen in theatres.

"Commercial cinema, which people say I could and should have done, is not my cup of tea. I cannot churn out three songs a day, and in the industry it matters only if you are a brand name," says Chandavarkar, who provided music for Mrinal Sen’s "Khandahar", Aparna Sen’s "Paroma" and Amol Palekar’s "Thodasa Rumani Ho Jaaye".

"I was closely associated with films and their makers who at one point of time thought their creations were a kind of revolution, who gave lot of scope for experimentation.

"But now, you even have song banks from where producers select readymade tunes and then weave a story around them," says Chandavarkar, who is a major name in the country’s music scene as far as theatre is concerned.

Composer, author, stage director and above all an uncompromising artiste, Chandavarkar today vividly recalls his greatest moment of creative glory when Satyajit Ray showered encomiums on him.

"Ray saw Girish Karnad’s ‘Once Upon a Time’ twice, and later said first time he saw the film and second time he just listened to the music, which was composed by me.

"He said it was the best music he had heard in any Indian film. It sort of made it for me. I think it is the best compliment I have ever received," says Chandvarkar, whose experiences as a musician are being brought out in a Kannada book.

"I can never work in the ambience of music on demand", says the man who has steadfastly refused to bow to the market forces and knows this might have had cost him a prominent place in commercial cinema.

"There are some people who still come and talk with me, but the hard reality is that money does not come anymore for projects in which I would like to work," he says.

However, now Chandavarkar is far removed from the world of celluloid, except for rare associations like last year’s music for an animated film, and is deeply immersed in theatre.

In recent years, apart from creating scores for innumerable plays, he has formed his own group in hometown Pune and also worked in some groups in Karnataka as well as rural areas in Maharashtra.

"My inspiration to turn a director at this age came from John Russel Brown, the grand old man of British theatre". Closely involved with the National Theatre in London in the company of legends like Laurence Olivier, John Gilgud and Peter Hall, Chandavarkar has now opened a small group of his own.

"I translated Karnad’s ‘Fire and Rain’ into Marathi, and I have plans to stage an original play and an adaptation in the near future. Rudra Da (legendary theatre director Rudraprasad Sengupta) has suggested I do a musical, and I am giving a serious thought to it," he says.

Greatly appreciative of the "Bharat Rang Mahotsava ‘99", the recent National Theatre Festival organised by the National School of Drama (NSD) in the Capital, he says such fests will give opportunities to groups from all over the country to interact and thus take Indian theatre to greater heights.

"We need such festivals at a time when theatre is being threatened by the electronic media and market forces which project a culture in a unipolar world dominated by everything American," says Chandavarkar, who has a long experience of working in countries like the USA and Germany.

However, he is worried over the growing intolerance towards freedom of artistic expression. "The trend of monolithic culture where those who express otherwise are almost branded traitors is very dangerous."

"In Maharashtra, there have been at least three plays which were forcibly stopped because someone or the other did not agree with their contents.

"There was a one-act play in a Pune competition, called ‘Ram Bharose’, the visual presentation of which angered the Patit Pavan and Sangh Parivar so much that they came onto the stage, beat up the artistes and blackened their faces.

"The cases of ‘Mee Nathuram Godse Boltoy’, Deepa Mehta’s film ‘Fire’ and M.F. Hussain’s paintings are too well known. This is a dangerous trend for not only theatre, but also other art forms," Chandavarkar cautions.

Such extra-legal pressures, he says, are pushing all art forms towards mediocrity and devoid of any zeal.

Chandavarkar, who is writing a Marathi book on his experiences in theatre and has also been offered a book on Indian cinema by a leading publisher, despite his own mastery over music, is still a student of Pandit Ravi Shankar.

And he has strong views on the recent controversy over the Bharat Ratna Award to the maestro "which he deserved to have received a long ago". PTI
