Singer Papon on love for ghazal: Students ask me to sing ghazals at concerts
Besides soulful film and non-film tracks, a genre of music that's extremely close to singer Papon's heart is ghazal. An integral part of all his concert setlists, the musician admits that a large section of the audience that requests him to sing ghazal at gigs are college students. 'After Jagjit Singh (late singer), no one has created fresh sound for ghazal; what we hear today are mostly classics. I'm trying to change that and the response has been encouraging. Nowadays, college students and young audiences request me to sing ghazal at my concerts, which proves that Indians still have a deep-rooted love for the art form. We must revive it,' says the singer, who is set to release two ghazal albums. Speaking about the albums he's working on, the Moh Moh Ke Dhagey (Dum Laga Ke Haisha, 2015) singer adds, 'I'm just giving the final touches to the album before jetting off for my international (US) tour. I will release them as soon as I am back.' Lamenting the 'shortage of good ghazal writing today', which had been mastered by poets such as Nida Fazli, Qateel Shifai and Bashir Badr, the 49-year-old shares, 'Ghazal writing is an art, and just knowing Hindi and Urdu isn't enough. While some still write ghazal, the numbers are few.' However, he is hoping to revive the music form. 'Film music overshadows the genre, but with the internet, non-film music can thrive again. The void left by Jagjit Singh and Pankaj Udhas is vast, but there's potential for ghazal to flourish even now,' says the singer. Papon adds, 'I now curate ghazal-only shows in large auditoriums and most of them are sold out. At Jashn-e-Rekhta, I performed for 13,000 people. My concert series, Shaam-e-Mehfil, has garnered tremendous interest. We're taking it slow—so far, I've mostly performed covers. Once my original ghazals are released, we'll have a robust playlist.' What's next? 'My upcoming film song is in Metro… In Dino, where I'll also appear as a band member and narrator. I also have a bank of singles—some collaborations—which I'll release monthly during and after my US trip.'

EXCLUSIVE: Aamir Khan to release of Sitaare Zameen Par on 1200 screens; Set for a platform release
Over the years, Aamir Khan has come up with the most unique ideas to release his feature films on the big screen. Come June 20, and the actor is all set to introduce another innovation. According to sources close to the development, Aamir Khan along with his national distribution PVRInox are all set to give a platform release to Sitaare Zameen Par, with the idea to increase the show on a real-time basis through the day of release, leading to the opening weekend. According to reliable sources, Sitaare Zameen Par will see an all-India release on about 1000 to 1500 screens on the opening day. 'The makers were exploring several release ideas, and the plan at the moment is to bring the film on approx. 1250 screens. Aamir Khan is confident of the film, and is well aware about the change in audience dynamics, which is the reason why he is looking at a longer game than a shorter one,' revealed a source close to the development. The source further informed that Aamir is confident to evoke a collective emotion among the cine-goers, in a packed auditorium. 'The release will be more concentrated towards the high-performing cinema halls in the respective areas, before slowly transitioning to the mass belts on demand. Given that the film isn't arriving on any OTT platform, Aamir and the team have enough time to adopt the strategy based on word of mouth,' the source added. Sitaare Zameen Par is scheduled to release only on the big screen on June 20, and Aamir is looking to aggressively promote the film post the release too, as he believes that the film has the legs to perform well at the box office in the long run. 'Internationally too, it's a strategic release, though the exact plans would be known closer to the release,' the source concluded. Interestingly, the platform release strategy has been used by Rajshri and YRF in the past on films like Hum Aapke Hai Kaun, Dum Laga Ke Haisha, and Uunchai among others. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates.
