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. For the next two decades, the film explores through a gripping narrative, how 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 two decades after his demise, why he continues to be re-mixed and idolized endlessly, even today.
