Naam
Introduced in 1954, it was called The Clares, named after Clare Mendonca
from The Times of India. How do we better know them?
Mr X in BombayAccording to Indian Express dated 20th September 1981, Naushad said, “I
have a very high opinion of X. He has a fine style. When he sings ghazals, it is
in his own unique inimitable sweet style. Sweetness is indispensable to a
proper singing of the ghazal. Besides, he has mastery over the language. He
knows which words to emphasize and which not to. You will never hear any
lines misread from his lips!”.
But Babul was the only film in the 1950s for which X sang for Naushad and
Naushad did not repeat him for the next 18 years. According to some
“Angered with X, whom he found smoking during a recording, the
perfectionist composer, hired Rafi on a whim and decided that he would sing
all the songs of Baiju Bawra.”.

W trained as an actor at the National School of Drama (NSD) but a bad
production of Ibsen’s The Wild Duck in his second year helped him decide he
was a very bad actor. After graduating, he became an assistant director on
Pradip Krishen’s Electric Moon and then joined Shekhar Kapur on Bandit
Queen.
2003 marked the release of his directorial venture while in 2011, he directed
film X, which was inspired by a 1962 classic Z. According to W, “My film
takes its premise and the three characters from Z, but has a completely
different plot. My film is an exploration of betrayal.”
