Mumbai: It has been 14 years since he passed away and all there is left of the great Pancham da are his memories and some evergreen melodies.

On his 14th death anniversary there is someone, who wants to pay a cinematic tribute to the maverick music director. Documentary filmmaker Brahmanand Singh is coming out with two hour film called Pancham Unmixed - Mujhe Chalte Jaana Hai.

The film takes an incisive look not only at the body of work of the legendary composer, but also reveals various facets of R D Burman that you would never know.


"Asha Bhonsle told us that he drove with one leg up on the seat. He would bring the second eg down only in times of emergency otherwise one foot would be up always and one hand woul dbe busy giving a taal (beat)," says Singh

From singer Asha Bhonsle to close friend lyricist Gulzar to composer trio Shankar Ehsaan and Loy, they all have sung out their love for Pancham Da in the film.

"His story has a very, very exciting graph. He started off in a very promising manner, then he was under his father's shadow and then broke off and created a niche for himself," says Singh.

The film is not only a nostalgic trip down memory lane for friends of the late composer, but its also a cinematic tribute to one of the greatest mSusic directors, Bollywood has ever known.
