25-years of Gautham Vasudev Menon: The music I listened to while growing up inspired me to make films, says GVM
Twenty-five years in cinema, and Gautham Vasudev Menon finally admits what we've all suspected: he's essentially a sentient playlist. Forget directors; GVM is a conductor of heartbreak, a maestro of urban cool, and the undisputed king of making you wonder if that 'perfect song' was written for *his* scene or if *his* scene was written for the song. His films aren't just watched; they're felt, a symphony of angst, longing, and very stylish protagonists, all meticulously scored to the soundtrack of our collective romantic delusions.
In an exclusive interview marking his silver jubilee, GVM offered a candid reflection on his creative genesis, revealing that the melodies and rhythms of his youth were not mere background noise but profound catalysts. This intimate connection between sound and vision has been a defining hallmark of his 25-year journey, shaping his distinctive storytelling style. His filmography, rich in evocative character arcs and memorable dialogue, consistently showcases how music has been an intrinsic partner in crafting narratives steeped in emotion and unforgettable cinematic moments.
