June 9, 2012 is the birth centenary of the music director Vasant Desai whom I regard as a man who worked in Hindi film industry on his own terms without being a part of the rate race among his contemporary music directors. Being a devotee of the traditional music, he did not succumb to the lure of money in composing music for mass appeal.

The saga of Hindi films will never be complete without the discussion of the “formula” that used to be, and continues to be, followed by the production banners.

Over a period of time, such duplications would get refined into a list of specific ingredients that should be part of a film production strategy.
