‘The Roshans’ on Netflix: From struggles to success—Money lessons from the Roshans’ legacy

‘This is my grandfather’s voice,’ Hrithik says, and if you can take your eyes away from his beautiful chiseled face, then you will be amazed at how the old boombox is still in working condition and the cassette tape is still intact! Netflix gives us a four episode insight into the family Roshan in a very up-close-and-personal camera style, starting from the days when Hrithik’s grandfather struggled to make a mark as a music director, how Rajesh and Rakesh Roshan made their own mark in the Hindi film industry and how Hrithik has ruled the dance floor ever since he enslaved a generation by asking them to confess: Kaho Na Pyaar Hai What money lessons can we learn from this talented family documentary? The smorgasbord of music that’s bigger than time When singers like Asha Bhonsle, Suman Kalyanpur, Lata Mangeshkar, Shailendra Singh, filmmakers like Sanjay Leela Bhansali, actor Shah Rukh Khan, Madhuri Dixit, poets/lyricists Javed Akhtar tell you that Sangeetkar Roshan had the ability to create music that was varied and is this unbelievable palette is what keeps the songs even relevant and hummable today, you sit back and watch. Had Kidar Sharma given up on Roshan after his first film and stuck to his belief that Roshan had more talent than was tapped, we would not have this gigantic list of evocative songs like Man Re Tu Kaahe Na Dheer Dhare… Sangeetkar Roshan was born into a rich family, but gave it all up to move away from Gujranwala to Lucknow to Mumbai. I will let you delve into the magical world of Sangeetkar Rajesh Roshan’s music, Rakesh Roshan’s fun era in cinema and yes, sigh when Hrithik sings his grandfather’s composition.
