'Kitne saal table par film discuss karoge yaar! Aakhir yeh film banegi kab?' I met Vikram two years ago. He was the first person in a long time who actually influenced me. From the very first day we hit it off like a house on fire . We all had gone to Lonavala for a script discussion. On our return journey we stopped for a coffee. It was midnight when he started narrating JOKER to me and Abhay. At the end of it we were all tears and no words. Till this day, I haven't heard such a terrific narration! I simply hugged him and said 'YOU ARE SIMPLY GREAT!' It has been a long struggle for him but finally the success is around the next corner. It's only because of his faith in himself and equally his family and friends' faith in him that he has come out if it a winner!<br />BEST OF LUCK SIR!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06227329648050579035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7285733302306845852.post-55292474046846397282010-03-29T01:35:55.620+05:302010-03-29T01:35:55.620+05:30For a change, my association with Joker has been t...For a change, my association with Joker has been that of fun and only fun! :) <br /><br />When I met Vikram for the first time, for the narration, I thought he was rather bizarre! (But then I have always liked bizarre people!) Vikram's narration really did it for me. It was as if he painted out the entire film right in front of me, such was the clarity of thought. And the concept itself was so strong, I couldnt help but get drawn into the film. <br /><br />I then played Vikram some of my songs. It has to be mentioned that he wasnt particularly enjoying himself while listening to them. I was convinced that he disliked me from the moment he saw me! Yet, I was asked to make a few scratches...(Bana kuch bhi, kya ukhaad lega types!)<br /><br />I went home and kept thinking of the film, the characters, the situations. It took me a few days before the film really gripped me. I came up with 'Shukriya' which I felt was perfect for the particular situation I was making it for. Seema Saini wrote some lyrics, Golu and I arranged a scratch track, my friend Arunima Bhattacharya came and sang it. It sounded lovely to us. <br /><br />I had decided that if Vikram didnt like 'Shukriya', I wouldnt do the film! Simply because I felt I had grasped the character of the film strongly in my own way and I believed it was perfect. So if Vikram wouldnt like it, then it would mean that I was totally wrong in my understanding and it would be wiser to leave it at that! :) <br /><br />But fortunately 'Shukriya' was a hit with everyone, and I was on! From then, it was been a magical experience crafting all the songs of 'Joker'. To his credit, Vikram Tuli is a director who knows his music. Period! We have brainstormed, argued and fought over every single line and tune! But in the process I believe we have sculpted some wonderful songs that fit beautifully into the film adding a lot to its emotional appeal! <br /><br />I must mention that I love Vikram's twisted and sarcastic sense of humour (as it matches perfectly with mine) ;) <br /><br />All the best, Sir! Its been terrific working with you so far!...But enough reading for now, you have to go to London! :P<br /><br />Cheers!Gaurav Dagaonkarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08425256616956521122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7285733302306845852.post-27402894681851779022010-03-28T22:23:54.044+05:302010-03-28T22:23:54.044+05:30Mayank and Swati,

No words can describe how it felt. Nor can I describe what I feel now.<br /><br />All I can say is that it is only 'pain' that makes us what we are. <br /><br />This is just the beginning. I have much to say. Many films to make.Vikram Tulihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07396833378823369917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7285733302306845852.post-50798512452145511652010-03-28T21:55:06.737+05:302010-03-28T21:55:06.737+05:30Well I am not too far behind. i am going to claim ...Well I am not too far behind. i am going to claim my share in joker..:)<br />My association with Joker goes a long way. I still remember that day vividly. It was a day of lot of firsts.. It was my first day in mumbai.. I met Vikram bhaiya for the first time.. and to top it all I heard the first draft of Joker.. My first sitting in a narration. I must say the best narration I have ever heard. I was totally blown away by the subject and charmed by Mr. Vikram Tuli. I said wow! I actually visualised the film then and saw each and every character in front of my eyes. His narrative was so descriptive.<br />Over these years I have been part of this emotional journey through Mayank. Vikram bhaiya and Seema bhabhi have been really instrumental in the happening of the most beautiful thing that in my life.. Mayank. Since then we are a happy family together except for a dark patch when Vikram bhaiya totally gave up on making the film because of his continuous failure to take the film on the floor. It still scares me to think of those times. He seemed like he had given up on life. We all failed to reach to him.<br /><br />Today I feel glad to see him in action. I am absolutely proud to see him at work. I admire him for his focus and command on the sets. I am humbled that he thought me capable and entrusted me with some work. It was my pleasure to work with him. <br /><br />Before it starts sounding like my last opportunity to talk.. the way i am going on:)..I wish Joker all the best and pray that Vikram bhaiya gets his due finally. <br />Best<br />SwatiSwatihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09751599682407039096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7285733302306845852.post-51246787224501459872010-03-28T21:17:35.676+05:302010-03-28T21:17:35.676+05:30Hi all,

It's a great feeling to finally see Vikram transforming the characters which we had written on paper into motion. Many people discouraged us thru the journey but it was just the conviction in the script that made us reach till here.I know that the journey ahead is not gonna be easy but we will make it till the end and come out a winner.<br />Vikram deserves it and above all his family deserves it coz iv seen their belief in us and their unconditional support.<br />Will share more<br />Bye n take care<br />MayankUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13375622778263288189noreply@blogger.com
