A conversation with Alokananda Dasgupta is certain to have you research a thing or two about music composition. It wouldn't matter that you don't know how many counts make a bar in music, or have never as much as got your hands on an editing software. Dasgupta's passion for the craft is so fervent that she can instantly draw you into her world. It's unsurprising then that the magic she created for the Netflix original Sacred Games is winning applause from all and sundry, including A R Rahman, who "welcomed" her to the world of composition after watching the Vikramaditya Motwane and Anurag Kashyap-helmed show.
We assumed that the technical brilliance that she displayed would make for discussion during this conversation, but Dasgupta - daughter of acclaimed filmmaker Buddhadeb Dasgupta - is surprisingly consumed by emotions. The "not too much, not too little" smirk that Nawazuddin Siddiqui lends to his Ganesh Gaitonde, the simplicity with which Saif Ali Khan depicts Sartaj Singh's loneliness when he arrives home but can't find water, and Kubbra Sait - particularly Kubbra Sait - make for references repeatedly.
