R.D. Burman or pancham da was one of the great name in Indian Film Music. He changed the way Indians perceived hindi film music. The book looks at the phenomenon called R.D. Burman. Through anecdotes and trivia that went into the making of Pancham’s music – the many innovations he introduced, like mixed rhythm patterns, piquant chords and sound mixing – and through interactions with the musicians who were part of RD’steam, the authors create a fascinating portrait of a man who, through his music, continues to thrive, even fifteen years after his death. RD revolutionized Hindi film music in the 1970s, and with his emphasis on rhythm and beats, this Pied Piper of Hindi film music had young India swinging to his tunes. At the same time, this genius proved his many detractors who criticized him forcorrupting popular taste wrong by composing some of the most influential raga-based songs in Hindi cinema and showing an immense comfort with all kinds of music, including Indian folk. The author of the book Anirudha Bhattarcharjee is a graduate from IIT Kharagpur and did his master's from Jadavpur University, Kolkata. He contributes regularly to the Hindu Metropolus and Young World. He has contributed articles to a number of Indian newspapers and periodicals.
