Initially, Pyarelal ji didn’t allow us any recording. In that period whatever Pyarelal ji said was lost, as we could not tell him to repeat. During that period Pyarelal ji, while praising father and son, had said was that R.D. Burman was ‘Gold’, and Burman Dada was a ‘Diamond’.
After a while, Pyarelal ji relented and allowed us to record. He continued talking, not even waiting for the camera to be set up; hence viewers will notice that the camera starts midway while he is talking.
Pyarelal ji says that Dada was a very Simple person, busy in his own work, not involved in anything else. He was fond of good lyrics and took interest in rhythm. He would proceed only after he had overseen everything. Dada would personally make his singers Lata-ji, Kishore-ji, Rafi sahib and others to rehearse before recording. He also tells us how the classic song ‘O re maajhi’ from Bandini (1963) was recorded without lights in the dark.
I am sure fans will enjoy this interview, which is Part II. I have still lot of footage to share. Enjoy.
