Dream(Soundtrack movie Topic)Discussion/update RK - Page 97

Neerav Ghosh's first film Soundtrack, starring Rajeev Khandelwal and Soha Ali Khan, is all set to hit screens on September 30.

The director is busy promoting his film, which he says tires him, "but the times are such that hard selling your film is must!" Ask the director what he plans to do when the stardust of his first film settles down and he says rather simply, "I'll redefine my dream. My dream was to be a filmmaker. I started out making music videos and that was how I entered tinsel town. Now, I guess I'll have to set a new milestone and mull over my next film, which hopefully will happen soon! I believe that a director can sustain his good work for around 10 years. That's his shelf life!"

Elaborating on it he says, "From the time I began watching films, I've seen nearly all the works of N Chandra, JP Dutta, Subhash Ghai, Mahesh Bhatt and I've realised that for a decade or so, they give their best work to the audience. Then somewhere mid-way they lose the plot. This is not to cast aspersions on their talent, it's just the way the industry works. And then again, there are exceptions to this rule like Sudhir Mishra!" Speaking about this director, Neerav says, "Whether it was Yeh Who Manzil To Nahin, Hazaaron Khwahishein Aisi, Chameli or the recent Yeh Saali Zindgai, he always manages to make relevant cinema. Yeah, maybe some of his films are not BO successes, but years later when you pick a CD and watch his film, his film seems to be telling a story of a relevant era, a burning issue etc., and how he manages to do this with such finesse is something I admire!"
