Saibal chatterjee An independent New Delhi-based film and media critic who has worked on the staff of leading Indian publications like The Telegraph, Kolkata, The times of India, New Delhi, and Outlook newsweekly, besides the website of The Hindustan Times. In a career spanning two decades, he has covered entertainment-related events in different parts of the world and tracked Indian and international cinema with a critical eye. He won the President’s Gold Medal for the Best Film board of Encyclopaedia Britannica’s Encyclopaedia of Hindi Cinema, published in 2003. Whether he is conjuring up exquisite lyrics, authoring delightful screenplays or directing profoundly moving celluloid odes, Gulzar, peerless poet, sensitive writer and outstanding filmmaker, is a consummate master of his craft. The world that the man behind the genius inhabits is as magical as his inimitable creative output. This book is more than a mere record of a life lived and a career pursued because a simple biography cannot do justice to the range literature and cinema. It represents an attempt to grasp some of the truths, values, influences and artistic cornerstones that constitute the vision of a colossus who remains one of Mumbai cinema’s last active links with its golden era.
