This is not something I usually do - recommend a book without having read it, but I have read their first book - RD Burman - The Man, The Music (Anirudha Bhattacharjee and Balaji Vittal) - a well-researched, well-written book that deservedly won a National Award, and enjoyed it very much.
So when Anirudha, a friend of a friend, reached out to me asking if I would mind plugging their latest offering on my blog, I didn't hesitate. If Gaate Rahe Mera Dil is
half as well-researched and well-written, it would be a great addition
to anyone's library of books on cinema, particularly Hindi film music.
And because it goes without saying that this book will eventually find a place on my bookshelf, right next to their book on RD, I have no compunction in recommending it to my readers, sight unseen.
