Good sons, proud fathers!

What’s with failed/ neglected composers’ sons making it big with a vengeance in Indian film music? Sardar Malik, RK Shekar, Naresh Sharma…we do have the more popular Roshan as exception, though. But, I wonder what goes on in their minds when they finally made it. Anu Malik says, “The fact that he never made it was a (sic) hurting thing for me but also a motivating thing”. Rahman hasn’t spoken to this effect I suppose, neither has Mithoon. Guess Naresh Sharma could pitch in too, since he’s still around to see his son’s possible/ impending rise. Good sons, proud fathers!

Oh there are lots more…Chitragupt and his sons Anand & Milind. Just took 3 as a sample. Looks like politics is not the only Indian profession (!) that survives on this rule!

  • Satissh: Karthik, I think this guy's albums don't deserve a review from you. There has never been a decent effort from him ever! Cheers! Satissh
