SCOOP!! & NEWS British magazine cites Devdaas for best music18th Sept 2004 22.20 IST By ApunKaChoice Bureau Shah Rukh Khan starrer Devdaas has found a prominent place in a survey by prestigious British film magazine Sight & Sound on "best music in film". Devdaas, which also starred Madhuri Dixit , Aishwarya Rai and Jackie Shroff and was directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali , has been described by well-known French director Patrice Chereau as his favourite musical of all times. 
Giving his reason for selecting Devdaas over other international favourites like "The Godfather" and "Psycho", Chereau told Sight & Sound: "My favourite original score is the one in the film Devdaas because it is one of extraordinary vitality. "I can listen to it up to 10 times back to back, with all the images of the film returning to me. I lift up myself from my armchair and dance in my office hoping that the neighbours across the street are not at their window." Chereau himself has made the haunting period film "Queen Margot" as well as the sexually charged "Intimacy". The latest triumph for Devdaas delights its creator. Says Bhansali: "The music getting recognition out West is a special triumph for me and composer Ismail Durbar, background scorer Monty and my lyricist Nusrat Badr. "All of us had worked so hard to create that special quality of sound in Devdaas which was at once classical and contemporary, Bengali and yet universal. The music of Devdaas took two years of my life. "I flew down alone to Kolkata to research various music pieces. But finally when the soundtrack released, the sales were disappointing. People said the music in Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam was better. I accepted that in all humility, though when the 'Hum Dil...' score had come out, lots of people had found that disappointing. "I feel 10 years down the line the Devdaas soundtrack will get its due...For the music of Devdaas to get a mention in such a classy poll in Sight & Sound is no mean achievement." | ALSO READ scoop ~ Akshay's daring promotional stunt for 'Kambakkht Ishq' ~ 'Ekta has all it takes to win Miss Universe crown' ~ Kambakkht Ishq – Movie Review ~ Don't call me lucky: Katrina ~ Akshay Kumar plans a film for Michael Jackson? ~ I don't believe in luck: Imran Khan ~ 'Munnabhai Chale Amerika' next year ~ Michael Jackson to be buried in Islamic tradition?
