... Yes it must be "Khamaj" as this was also mentioned by flautist Pt.Ronu Majumdar in the "Pancham Unmixed" film - ... I think it was the 'Sur Singaar samsad'...
The only point I wish to add is this :- I was just going out for the day - the day I heard on TV ( only DD 1 was there those days) - that RDB has passed...
Hmm...I will admit that Pancham and Boppi used to sing - but there are other composers who sang or were competent singers too. Pancham and Boppi had a larger...
Depends in the context it was said. The media has this habit of showing their camera/mike at the most inopportune times - where people are caught unprepared...
... has RDB said somewhere that KHamaj was his favourite, or was it Ronu's deduction/analysis? I have a slightly different thought. We tend to associate Khamaj...
Dear friend, I see nothing wrong in Vijaykar calling Manoranjan and Bundalbaaz as musical failures. They were complete washouts when the film was released....

Pray may I know who tore apart the music of Satte pe Satta? And does Vijaykar call the music of Manoranjan a failure or he gets it extracted through Shammi...
Hmmm.... Whoever said Manoranjan was a washout has been brainwashed without knowing what was Manoranjan all about. Manoranjan is perhaps the only Hindi movie...
Vishwas, Please release early dear, i had spoken to nearly a year back. people are eager to get this. You had mentioned there will big grand release will...

LOL - the only thing wrong about Dagdar-babu Vijaykar (apart from being born!) is that he is calling Manoranjan and Bundalbaaz as music failures TODAY. I don't...
Wonderful to read from someone who had been there when Manoranjan released. The story was based on Irma La Douce - and had succeeded as an English movie. But...
Shashi, Wasn't it Laxmikant who was more closer to Pancham than Pyarelal ? (or maybe both). In a recent interview by Laxmi's sister, she said this: "Bhai had a...
Dear friend , I am not debating on Manoranjan's subject and content. The film was interesting and personally i found it quite good. What i am trying to explain...

From what I have read, heard and seen - Pancham was definitely closer to Pyarelal than Laxmi. And he was planning to partner with Pyarelal - since he was the...
... I m not skilled either on raag and other technical aspects. Just mentioned what was said in the film. Perhaps it was Ronu's deduction. We do not know...
Ok - don't want to start another volatile thread a la LP. But here's a query for Bengali fans. I have been listening to GaPaGaReSa for quite some time - and...
Ok - another query - on the Indrani Sen Bangla album for Puja on Concorde. While I am still amazed at the sheer beauty of the 2 original compositions by...
Rajesh, I was a teenager when Manoranjan was released and its songs were played on Radio Ceylon( Binaca Geetmala) and Vivith Bharathi in Bombay and I beg to...
That's true Shashi, but at the same time, Shankar & Jaikishan also had traits to be independant, and they worked so well as a team. In the end, all these...
Loin aka Rao Saheb, Its nice to see you feel the difference in quality of diction in Asha and Lata when it comes to singing bengali songs. Asha many times have...
Hi Shashi, My take on the subject is a little different. To me, it's been a falling curve syndrome the reasons for which could be attributable to a combination...
New Book on R.D.Burman to be released Friends, This is to inform all that a new book on R.D.Burman will be released in few months from now this year itself....

Ok - seems like we are switching gears here. We started with contesting Rajiv Vijaykar's projection of Shammi Kapoor-Pancham's partnership as not successful....
Ali, Not sure if I really buy the "And they lived happily afterwards" theory :) Because there was a perceptible drop in quality in both SJ and LPs output as...
