		<description>If there is a lesson to be drawn from the great Salil Chaudhury&#039;s film music composing career, it is this: that, once you attain a good mastery of Indian classical music,  it should not be difficult to understand the harmonic aspects of Western music for fusing them with light film music which can appeal easily and capture the hearts of Indian audiences [and even wider foreign, especially the Arab and Islamic, plus other Asian audiences.  A deeply perceptive film music composer, such as Chaudhury sahab was, understand that all good film music must have an imaginative interpretation of classical music with modifications, a point which the lay listener does not appreciate as he thinks that film music will be unappealing if it is &quot;based&quot; on classical music.  Those who succeeded in the true sense, in the film world, apart from Chaudhury, such as Shankar Jaikishan, Lakshmikant Pyarelal, OP Nayyar, Madan Mohan, SD Burman (not so much his son Rahul), and several years, all of them of a bygone era,understood the point and rose to heights in the Indian (mainly Hindi) cine music field.  Anyone trying to compose for films, who thought that mere finering on the harmonium could produce durable music, failed, to be left by the wayside.  To this category belong the full bunch of cine music composers, with their &#039;music&#039; dying only within weeks, no one ever able to sing them for TV programs, although some of them record big sales of their recordings with a heavy dose of media marketing hype, and the unfortunate younger generation is dished out their stuff 24 x 7 and most of them suffer nervous diseases due to the jarring, raucous, absurd (con)fusion of notes.  BTW,the differences bet. the two branches of it, Carnatic and Hindustani systems are really only superficial and not real.  Ask a broad minded classical music connoisseur of the Southern system.</description>
