Musicians should keep practicing, keep listening, keep entertaining the audience and carry forward this great art by giving good music to the world, says Surel Ingale-Young Music Director






 He is calm, he is focused, music has always been his passion since birth. Belonging from a music family with his father (Milind Ingale) being a renowned composer and singer, he chose to create a mark on his own. After getting recognition and awards as a debutant music director for a Marathi film, he is motivated to achieve greater heights. Let's Talk Life with  young  music director Surel Ingale, where he talks about his family, passion for music , his first film , awards, and his newly discovered love for photography.


  • Kindly tell us something about yourself?
I am currently studying BMM in KC college,  I am in my last year now. I studied Arts in St.Xaviers college after passing out from school. I LOVE music, films, reading books, eating at different places, photography (new found love). I don’t like cheesy bollywood movies and songs :p I don’t like these item songs which all sound the same and are composed in the same 3 chords.

  • What are you currently doing professionally?
I am still a student so I am not doing anything professionally right now. But I do compose for short films as and when  I get offers. Also I teach piano and keyboard privately and in “Music and Soul Academy” at Vile Parle. I have also interned as an assistant sound engineer at  Yashraj Films and wish to study sound engineering further after graduation.

  • What made you choose this career?
As I am still studying, I have still not taken up any career. I wish to study further and then pursue a career. I plan and wish to pursue music production and sound engineering as my career in the near future.

  • You have been playing piano since the age of 8, what motivated you to be a music director at such a young age?
Although I started learning piano at the age of 8 I had never really planned to become a composer. I first started taking piano lessons from Mr.Mandar Parkhi who is my first piano teacher. My dad sent me to his place because he wanted me to learn some musical instrument and also I had shown interest in learning music since childhood. Gradually as I started understanding the basics of music I started developing interest in composing. But I accidentally got into composing professionally when I composed my first song for the Marathi film “Prem Mhanje Prem Mhanje Prem Asta”. There is a very funny story of how I got to compose for that film.

  • Having a legacy of music, has it helped you in any ways to make a mark in the field?
I am the 6th generation in my family who is in the field of music so that puts a great deal of responsibility on me to continue this tradition. My father or even my grandfather never forced me to take up music. My father always encouraged me to do whatever I felt like doing. But as I said music runs in my genes so it was bound to come up some day and I am happy that I am a part of this wonderful artistry. Having a legacy of music has definitely helped in a way that I can always take inspiration and learn from the music and musical knowledge that my family members have. If ever I have any kind of doubts or if I want suggestions while making music I can always ask my dad or grandfather. So in a way it is definitely a plus for me to have a musical background but also I would never use these contacts to get work in the industry. Whatever work I get I wish to get in on the strength of my own talent and hard work.

  • Your father Mr. Milind Ingale himself is a versatile singer and composer? Is he your inspiration?
Yes of course the biggest inspiration in my life would be my dad. I have been listening to him singing and composing since the day I was born. What can be better than a professional singer singing lullabies to you every day while sleeping! And also I am largely influenced by his composing style and you can see that in the music which I compose. He always tells me to not let go of the melody whichever genre of music you are making. In fact the word melody is carved on his harmonium also.

  • Talk about your first movie as an independent Music Director?
As I said there is a story to how I got the role of composing music for the film “Prem Mhanje Prem Mhanje Asta”. The director of the movie Mrs. Mrinal Kulkarni who is a very well known actress in the Marathi and Hindi film and TV industry had first contacted my father to compose the music for her film which was her first film as a director. There were 2 songs in the movie and both were very situational. One was a romantic song and the other one was a very deep sad song. So my father had finished recording the first song which was the romantic song and he was working on the second song. So one day I saw the sheet of lyrics of the 2nd song lying on my piano and I just tried to compose the first few lines of the song just for timepass because I had no other work to do that time. And a few days back my father had told me about this song being very difficult to compose as the lyrics were a bit complicated and not the usual lovey-dovey types. So I made my dad listen to the few lines which I had composed and he liked it very much and told me record it. By that time even  he had composed a different tune for the same song but he personally liked my version better. So when he met Mrs. Mrinal Kulkarni the director of the movie he made her listen to both the versions and initially he did not disclose to her  that one of them was composed by me. After she was done listening he asked her which one did she like better and she said she liked the second one which was the one I had composed and then he told her that the song was in fact composed by me and not him. So that’s how I got my first break and first ever song for which I got 2 awards this year in the “Best Debut Music Director” category. One was the “Chitrapadarpan Puraskar” and other one was “Sanskriti Kaladarpan awards”.

  • You are currently pursuing your BMM , how do you manage composing and studies?
Currently I am not working on a lot of musical projects as I am concentrating on studies. Also as I said I have not yet accepted music composing as a full time career as I wish to study further and then decide what career suits me the best. Also BMM is a very chilled out course and it always gives you that time which is needed to do any kind of professional work outside of bmm. And the work that we do outside is usually related to our course of study.

  • Apart from Music , what do you do in your past time ?
Apart from music I love doing a lot of things ! I am a huge movie buff and I watch 1 movie almost everyday. I also have a liking towards photography and thanks to my dad for an  awesome birthday gift which he gave me last year, a professional DSLR so that I could pursue this hobby . I love to hangout with my friends and go for small holidays on weekends like we recently went to Pune which is like my second home now. I am also a big foodie and I love trying out new places to eat and especially sea-food restaurants.

  • Perks of choosing your career?
The best part of being a musician like any other creative field is being able to earn your living by doing what you love to do the most. Also unlike an office job here you don’t have any fixed working hours and you are not working under anyone’s pressure. But I think in today’s world being in the music field has more challenges than advantages due to the rising competition in this field. There are too many people trying to make their mark in the industry and trying to reach out to the audience. There is a constant pressure of failure and there is extreme lack of stability. An artist can earn huge amounts of money in one month but he can be sitting at home without any work in the next month. There is no stability or assurance of work. Sometimes even hard work doesn’t pay as many artists are fooled by record labels and event organizers with regards to payment of money. So in the end you have to keep in mind all these things before taking up music as a full time job.


  • Challenges that you faced during your journey? How did you overcome them?
I think I am still  in that phase where I have to face many more challenges in life but I will tell you some of the challenges which I faced while composing for my first film. Being the youngest person in the entire group of musicians who worked with me was pretty challenging. You are always afraid of telling your opinions or making decisions in front of senior musicians. The singer who sang my song Mr. Ravindra Sathe is a very senior person in the industry so at first I was scared as to whether he would like my song or not and how he will react to it. But in the end he liked the song very much and made me comfortable during the recording by giving me the freedom to tell him what was exactly needed for the song. Also there was this pressure of working under such a big banner and anticipating whether people would like the song or not. But the biggest fear I faced was something which is not related to music at all. I was told that during the recording and during the music launch and film promotions I would have to talk to the media and give them interviews. And if you know me I am a very shy person and I am shit scared to talk in public or come in front of the camera. My mom helped me the most to overcome this fear. Being a journalist  by profession she knows how a question should be answered and eventually I got over that fear after a few interviews.

  • What was your 'Nothing is Impossible moment'?
I think my nothing is impossible moment was when I came to know to know that the director had actually liked my song and my song was going to get featured in a movie.

  • Lastly what advice would you give to the aspiring Music directors who want to make their mark in the field?
I don’t think I have reached  a stage where I can advise other music directors but I think we all musicians should keep practicing, keep listening , keep entertaining our 
audience and carry forward this great art by giving good music to the world.

Photography is not just about ‘Depth of Field’ but also ‘Depth of Feeling’, says photographer Parag Gopale




He is talented, vibrant , friendly. I have known him for years now ever since college and he is still the same positive, hardworking and always has a wonderful smile on his face. I have always seen his dancing skills, but never knew he has the art of capturing moments. He has been successful in capturing candid moments for weddings, and many more events.  Let’s talk life with photographer Parag Gopale where he talks about his life and love for Photography. 

  • Kindly tell us something about yourself?

I was blessed to have had a memorable up bringing ; lucky to get grandparent’s love from my paternal as well as maternal side. My Nanaji was an artist (painting and sketching).  He used to take me for walks on streets of Mumbai from our Lower Parel home and explain me where the mills were ( some mills were still functioning then in 1993-94 ). I guess it was that time when my Nanaji passed his perspective and sight to me. He did not teach me photography but he definitely taught me to SEE.
I studied in Our Lady of Remedy High School, completed my graduation in computer science from KC College and went on to pursue my MBA in Advertising and Communication from Symbiosis, Pune. Photography was always a parallel during this journey; assisting photographers, shooting my own assignments, personal work etc. It was during my first year graduation that I shot LFW ( Lakme Fashion week) 2007; my first big assignment. That was a turning point. Got real good exposure via LFW and since then I have shot LFW for 4 years.

  • What are you currently doing professionally?


I had a short corporate stint as a brand communication consultant. But my photography was taking a backseat because of my job, which I wasn’t happy about. So I quit it one fine day and jumped into full time photography. As they say ‘You cannot learn swimming by staying at the shore’. I am currently a wedding photographer & film maker. My production house caters to all the visual services needed to capture moments at a wedding. I love to capture these moments of fun and emotions to savour them for my couples. That’s what my brand promise is ‘Plucking Moments with un-compromising veracity’

  • What made you choose this career?

Photography was always a passion. A medium to express myself. I have always loved to observe something beyond obvious, which a normal eye would tend to miss. Be it a lovely celebration of union of two hearts and lives(engagement and wedding), first steps of a baby( candid baby photography), to-be mothers thoughts about her new world ahead(maternity moments), the joy of flaunting your Veromoda dress(Candid fashion photography), to capturing busy as well as sometimes calm life on the streets(Street Shots) 

  • What is photography for you?


For me the essence of photography was in this one word ‘Moments’. It’s about creating something that will bring smile to a common man’s face every time they see that photograph; something that will take their stress away after a hectic day. Add freshness and happiness. It’s these little teaspoons of happiness that make life worthwhile when you look back. So photography is not just about ‘Depth of Field’ but also ‘Depth of Feeling’.

  • Talk about candid wedding photography as a career? 

I remember doing my first couple shoot in 2010. Candid wedding photography/ couple shoot concept was setting in, in India at the point of time. And I got amazing response for my work and it got publicized on social media, I started getting calls and I grabbed that chance to pursue my passion as profession. Trust me, it’s not an easy decision to quit a well-paying corporate job and pursue wedding photography as a profession. Initially, I had a tough time in convincing my family but as I started getting calls from pan-India for shoots they got convinced that I am doing something that’s credible and adds value. There have been moments of frustration as there are in any business, but pursuing a creative profession in India is a real big challenge. It’s a seasonal space to be in. So you are shooting 4-5 months a year (depending on the shoots you get) and rest are off season. So commercially SUSTAINING it consistently is something that drives one crazy. It takes immense patience and more than that self- belief and perseverance.  But yes, let me tell you that EVEN when you are doing this, you still sleep peacefully because you know you are doing something you WANT & LOVE and not what you are REQUIRED to. It’s a different joy when you see your couple in tears when they see their moments captured.
  • Apart from Photography, what do you do in your past time?

Wedding Photography involves lot of travel. The maximum time is consumed by edits. So it’s the edit table where I spend most of my time. Apart from that, meeting new couples for upcoming wedding season, building and updating your work-folio every wedding season, social media promotions etc. But all this is always coupled with amazing music in the background. I love listening to all kinds of music starting for Simon & Garfunkel to Ghazals by Jagjit Singh Sahab. Thumris by Begum Akhtar to Rahul Sharma’s santoor. It all depends on mood. Apart from that I love walking on the lanes of my city Mumbai- my biggest muse. I am a foodie so I love watching travel food shows and trying out recipes. ( They turn out disastrous sometimes :P ).  I like playing Badminton and squash in my free time.
  • Advantages of choosing your career?

My favourite question. :D. The biggest advantage ‘You are your own BOSS.’ You don’t have a reporting manager. If I feel like going for a holiday or spend time with family, I don’t need to draft a mail. I have the liberty to choose my shoots. You don’t get stressed as you know that you are working for yourself. My dad told me that a good way to measure your love for work is ‘to see how eagerly you look forward to work on a Monday’. If I am shooting over a weekend and told at the last moment that I am supposed to shoot on Monday too, I’ll do it happily. J

  • How do you plan your shoots once you get your client?

It’s important to understand the expectations of the couple you are shooting for. Once we are on the same plane then I can direct them and break that barrier between the camera and the subject. I like to choose a concept which is close to the couple and syncs with their story. 

  • Do you have a team or you are only captain of the ship, from conceptualization to execution?
I have a team. We are a lean team of 8-9 professionals each bringing in their expertise and value add to the table. It comprises of Candid Photographers, Cinematographers, Editors, Soundman and Designers. It takes time to build a good team but once you have it then things become smooth.
  • Challenges that you faced during your journey? How did you overcome them?

Firstly it’s a challenge to make yourself believe that you can succeed. A great deal of detailed thought and planning is needed for the same. And once it’s done, executing the plan is the toughest bit. You understand and realise the difficulties that might shoot up suddenly and you have to be prepared to tackle it. Finding a trustworthy team and vendors is the most important thing because if your team or vendor messes up, it’s your image and brand name at stake. So you have to be very stringent on the standards you want to set for your team and yourself. I was lucky to have supportive parents and friends who I have trouble at wee hours. I remember calling up my friend at 3am and pestering him for a wedding trailer that we were working on. I am glad that all people around me have kept in mind the Bigger Picture and criticized constructively.
  • How many years does it take for one to be a professional in this field?

There’s no thumb rule honestly, it’s all about how much you are ready to push yourself to reach a mark and then better that consistently. Your couples are your real advertisers. If they love your work for them, they will recommend you to their friends and folks. This is not an Aquaguard that you can go and sell door to door. If the couples like your work and style of shooting, they will connect with you. So it all depends on whether your work convinces the couple that they want you to capture their Big Day and savour it for a lifetime.
  • What was your 'Nothing is Impossible moment'?

Well, the one on the top of my mind is during a destination wedding ( which was a Candid Photography Shoot) I was suddenly asked by the couple to shoot a Candid Wedding Film  as well. It seemed nearly impossible to arrange for a cinematographer, production and required equipment in half an hour. So I did the Candid Photography and Cinematography at a 600 people wedding all by myself with a Single Camera; a Canon 5D Mark 3 . The result can be seen on my Facebook page or Vimeo channel. When the trailer for the film was ready I was almost in tears as I was a little paranoid about how the result would be. But when the couple and the family saw it, I noticed those moist eyes and trust me there was no bigger satisfaction. The appreciation that I received from them was very encouraging. That has to be my ‘Nothing is Impossible’ moment

  • Lastly what advice would you give to the aspiring photographers who want to make their mark in the field?

Observe and respect emotions. Be sensitive to life around you. I guess that’s where it all starts from. Develop your own style. It’s necessary to have inspirations. Follow the work of other photographers but do not copy them. Understand why they pressed the shutter at that precise moment. Remember that a camera only translates what a human eye sees. The technicalities can be learnt in a month, developed by years of practice, but its SEEING and OBSERVING that matters the most. Develop that unique sight and you will develop a unique style

“Always be ready to take the required efforts for what you love to do”, says actor Anurag Worlikar




He is charming, talented, positive and carries that wonderful smile on his face all the time. He has been a child actor since the 2nd grade and has been doing a lot of Marathi television serials, movies since then. I met him while doing BMM where he was in his first year and I was in my last year, we had two things in common BMM and love for acting .His Marathi movie ‘Por Bazaar’ is all set to release this year. Let’s Talk Life... with Anurag Worlikar, where he talks about his journey of life and his love for acting.

  •    Kindly tell us something about yourself ?
Born on 6th of June of 1994, I completed my primary and secondary education from King George High School, Dadar. It would not be wrong if I state that, it was my school which shaped and groomed me as better human as I am of today. It may sound a little cliché but yes that’s how it is and I am proud of my school. Later on I went to St. Xavier’s college, Mumbai for my junior college and now I am pursing, in its last year, Bachelors of Mass Media from K.C. College.
Talking about likes and dislikes, I like to go for a swim, visit new places, shoot them, read, watch films and do a lot more things that usually surprise me. Yes, I like almost the same things that an average person likes to do. Also not to forget, I like to sleep a lot. I cannot think of anything particular that I dislike because whatever I dislike, I just avoid doing or thinking about it.
  •  What are you currently doing professionally?
I recently finished a Marathi film ‘Por Bazaar’, which is in its promotional stage now and will hit the theatre's soon this year. Now I am shooting for another film which is still in production and is expected to release by the end of this year. That’s all I am doing currently along with my last year in BMM.

  •   What made you choose this career?
Since my early school days I was inclined towards doing mono-acting and one act plays, which I certainly used to enjoy and was, I guess, good at it. My father used to teach me what and how to say, as I was at an age where I couldn’t read for myself. So just by listening to him I used to learn the script and perform. It was during a summer workshop with Vidya Patwardhan, where she saw me perform and asked me if I was interested in acting for a TV Series ‘De Dhamaal’, which she was producing at that time. I would never hesitate to say that, whatever I am today, is all because of her. It is not because she gave me a chance to act in her serial but as a guide she was always there to help me survive in this field. And that’s how I entered this field and got opportunities to work on various projects one after the other. 

  • You have been a child actor, talk about your journey then and how is it different now?
I did a couple of films and some serials as a child artist and it was a totally unique experience. I was exposed to this art at a very young age. I did my first film when I was 7 years old. This helped me to get used to the techniques of filming and acting in a film or a TV serial at a very early stage.  This helps me a lot now as an actor. As a child actor you are taken care of by everyone on the set. There are very few responsibilities on you as an actor. But now I have certain important responsibilities and duties as an actor which should be duly fulfilled. 

  •   You are currently pursuing your BMM, how do you manage shooting and studies?
I think it’s not very difficult to manage your academics if you are doing something you really like to do. You are then ready to take those extra efforts to make sure that you are equally good on both the sides. A funny example would be that I don’t get to bunk college whenever I feel like so that when I have to miss lectures for any shoot, it is compensated by my otherwise regular attendance. But jokes apart, it is not very difficult if you really decide to do it.  

  •    Apart from Acting , what do you do in your past time ?
As I said earlier, I watch films, read and sleep. As a part of BMM, we also write and shoot a lot of short films on our own. So whenever I am not acting, I am shooting some film.
  • Perks of choosing your career?

1    You get a lot of attention.
2   You can get your work done easily.
3  You are recognized in public.
4  You can watch yourself on the big screen.
5  You are also featured in newspaper occasionally.
6.  People laugh on your jokes even if they are not funny.
  • Challenges that you faced during your journey? How did you overcome them?
My journey in this field started when I was just in 2nd grade. This field means long and odd hours of work at different locations you have never heard of. So at the age at which I entered this field, it was obviously very difficult for me to cope up with these problems. It was because of my family’s support. Both my parents used to work, so it was my grandfather who used to accompany me to all the shoots and wait till whatever time it took. It was quite a task for a man of his age but he always made sure that I was able to achieve something by helping me in some or other way. So the problems I faced in this journey were not quite of a problem because I always had my family to help me out. I owe it to them.
  •  You have an upcoming movie coming up, we would love to hear about that?
‘Por Bazaar’ is releasing this year. It’s a special film for me because it is after 7 years that I am doing a film again. I was really excited when I was asked for this film, as it has a very strong message which we are trying to get through this medium and at the same time it won’t fail to entertain you. It’s an adventure film with 5 college friends when one incident totally changes the way they look at society. I won’t talk much about the story here, but I can assure you one thing that you will enjoy this film while watching as much as we did while making it.
  • What was your 'Nothing is Impossible moment'?
Frankly speaking there hasn’t been a ‘Nothing is impossible’ moment as such. It is a very strong statement. But to say, it can be the moment when I knew that I had to do two dance sequences. Initially I thought that I cannot dance at all. But I think as we went through the rehearsals, it was not very difficult. I am not saying that I am an inborn dancer but I can definitely move my body as per the training given to me. It’s not that difficult as it looks.
  • Lastly what advice would you give to the aspiring actors who want to make their mark in the field?
I am not that experienced yet to give advice to anyone but from whatever I have learnt through my work so far is that always be ready to take the required efforts for what you love to do. The more you work the more you learn. But be careful while you choose what project to do and what not to. And last but certainly not the least is that no matter how much of a good actor you are, it’s because of the hard work of all the people behind the camera, that helps you reach to the audience. Respect them all.
