The upcoming biopic of composer N Dutta, additionally extensively generally known as Datta Naik, goals at making certain his legacy doesn’t go unacknowledged, his son Roop Naik on Wednesday. The movie was introduced earlier within the day, to mark the demise anniversary of the musical genius. Titled “N Datta: The Untold Story”, the movie goals at highlighting the acute tragedy and triumphs that the late composer noticed in his lifetime.
“I do not want the personal and musical legacy of my father to remain unacknowledged. That his story has remained unheard so far is why the film is called ‘N Datta: The Untold Story’. His camaraderie with some of the doyens of our music industry and the subsequent output helped define the musical sound of 1950s,” Roop Naik mentioned.
“The film will narrate why my father’s life was full of extreme tragedy and triumph, why a musical genius had to die in anonymity, how a heart-attack at the age of 32 blighted his success, his bond with (lyricist) Sahir saab, his sometimes tumultuous equations with producers and directors, his generosity, personal life , his inability to compromise and a lot more,” he added.
N. Dutta is recalled for his musical scores in basic movies a s”Dhool Ka Phool” and “Dharmputra”. He was well-known for songs like “Aurat ne janam diya mardon ko” and “Tu Hindu banega na Musalman banega”.
Roop has collaborated with Yoodlee Films, the movie division of Saregama India. “He started his career as an assistant to Sachin Dev Burman but grew to be a force to reckon with. His partnership with poet Sahir Ludhiyanvi remains one of the most celebrated of all times though not many people know that some of the seminal scores of the fifties were composed by him. How his talent was discovered, how he rose to fame and then was unfortunately denied his rightful place in history, makes for a compelling story,” mentioned Siddharth Anand Kumar, VP of Films and TV, Saregama.
