02:48and the end of the Galilee

02:50I used to have music for Hindi for making him

02:55It's a film called Dina Bandhu. It's a serious kind of film where I was acting and I was co-producer and I was also making music.

03:11In 2005, I got the best regional film in 2005. It was a very serious film and it was a touchy story. It was very sad.

03:21It was a huge story from my heart. We had a lot of effort in the film and everyone was very happy.

03:32Everyone was very happy.

03:33Zubin, you have songs, composers and music direction. You have a lot of interest in Bollywood. Did you get a chance?

03:43The first Hindi film was Strings, which was Sanjay Jahan's film in 2005. It was a bit off-beat film, so commercially it wasn't promoted.

03:53But in my mind, I want to work as a music director. I wanted to be a music director only. After that, my singing came.

04:05It's about a lot of people. I hope that I will get a film for this year.

04:11Tell us about your first break, Zubin. When did you get Bollywood?

04:15The first break in Bollywood, it goes to Ranjit Bharat. Ranjit Bharat called Fiza's title song for me.

04:24It was the biggest break in my life. Fiza was a big film, Hrithi Groshan's film.

04:29After that, I got to know what's going on in Cante's film. I got to know what's going on in Cante's film.

04:34I got to know what's going on in Cante's film. I got to know what's going on in Cante's film.

04:36I think that is also one of my biggest break.

04:38But when I got to know what's going on in Cante's film. In the future, I started to know what's going on in Cante's film.

04:46I got to know what do you feel like?

04:50Yeah. I can say that. I got to know what I got to know in Bollywood.

04:56I got to know what's going on in the national and international.

04:59And I still got to know how many different languages.

05:03I can imitate all languages, but I can imitate it, like I can hear when I can sing.

05:20From my childhood, Tamil, Telugu, and other languages, I would listen to all the languages.

05:26So that's why I developed it. In Assam, I worked in the North East, and I worked in all languages.

05:35So that's why I'm working in the whole of India.

05:39Zubin, you admire your mother, who was a very better dancer and singer.

05:44Yes.

05:45So you also call your mentor.

05:47Yes.

05:48What did you teach as a guru?

05:51From my childhood, I didn't teach my mother.

05:57After that, she introduced me to Tabla, to learn Tabla.

06:02My guru was Robin Banerjee.

06:04I taught Tabla for 10-12 years.

06:06She taught folk music in Assam.

06:08I owe everything to my mother.

06:10My main backbone is my mother.

06:12My mother is all.

06:14You know a lot of people.

06:16People know you.

06:17But do you know your guru or idol?

08:24it's a good platform for new singles.

08:31recording, dubbing,

08:45I always feel good.

08:48Playback is a different thing.

08:51Playback is a different style of music.

08:56It's a different experience.

09:05Is there any music director
