Ever Since Two Daughters I've Been Composing

The Conception Of Background Music Is Changing. You Use Less And Less Of It These Days.

My Films Play Only In Bengal, And My Audience Is The Educated Middle Class In The Cities And Small Towns. They Also Play In Bombay, Madras And Delhi Where There Is A Bengali Population.

Well The Bombay Film Wasn't Always Like How It Is Now. It Did Have A Local Industry. There Were Realistic Films Made On Local Scenes. But It Gradually Changed Over The Years.

I've Made Seventeen Or Eighteen Films Now, Only Two Of Which Have Been Original Screenplays, All The Others Have Been Based On Short Stories Or Novels, And I Find The Long Short Story Ideal For Adaptation.

When I'm Shooting On Location, You Get Ideas On The Spot - New Angles. You Make Not Major Changes But Important Modifications, That You Can't Do On A Set. I Do That Because You Have To Be Economical.
