Winner of 2 National Awards, Pancham Unmixed: Mujhe Chalte Jaana Hai, takes an incisive look into the legendary composer, RD Burman’s reflective artistry and buoyant-but-also-lonely inner being. Featuring a host of close friends, colleagues and admirers, the film evokes awe, admiration and nostalgia the way most of his music does, till date. Pancham Unmixed: Mujhe Chalte Jaana Hai by Brahmanand S Siingh has been recognized as the most definitive film on one of the most versatile composers of the Hindi Film Music Industry, who brought about a revolution in the popular music of its time in the late 60s, almost single-handedly.
