Gulzar is my one of most favourite poet. And filmmaker too. When I was
at high school, I used to listen the sweet songs penned by Gulzar -
from "mora gora ang lei le" of 'Bandini' to "dil dhoondta hai" of
'Mausam'....... In 1975, when the film Mausam released, I rushed to
the theatre to watch this national award winning film. I just at the

Kumar, Sharmila Tagore and music director was Madan Mohan - my most
favourite composer.

his favourite. He made a film 'Khooshbo' based on the timeless classic
of Sharatchandra - "Pandit Moshai". He made a very romantic film

chosen Suchitra Sen for the role of political leader in the movie
