Gulzar’s third film, as a director, Parichay (1972) has often been accused of being a copy of The Sound of Music (1963).

That is a common theme enough in films and novels. The whole context and the treatment of the story is completely different. All said and done one can’t deny that the song saa re ke saa re has a similarity to doe a deer. The similarity is not in the tune but in the sense that both songs explain the seven notes of music.

An email request from a faraway land. A lover of music from the golden era, and a dear friend who dearly remembers his departed friends. Trying to trace out and re locate poignant memories and melodies – heard long back and now etched in the memory. Only that there is no information other than the words of the song.
