Rome International Film Festival 2008

One of the most versatile composers the Hindi Film Music Industry had ever seen, RD Burman brought about a revolution in the popular music of its time in the late 60s, almost single-handedly. For the next two decades, he captured the musical imagination of an entire subcontinent like none before --- right from the entertainment seeking popular masses to the connoisseurs of classical HIndustani and Western, jazz, opera and pop music. And almost a decade and a half after his demise, he continues to be re-mixed and imitated endlessly (he's the most re-mixed man of the Indian music Industry), even today.Attempting to explore legendary composer RD Burman's music, Pancham Unmixed: Mujhe Chalte Jaana Hai (an unending journey ) takes an incisive look into the composer's reflective artistry and buoyant-but-also-lonely inner being. Featuring a host of close friends, colleagues and admirers, the film attempts to evoke awe, admiration and nostalgia the way most of his music does, till date.It is perhaps the most comprehensive film made on the great composer and hopefully, an important one on for the entire film and music industry in India.
