Pancham🎸And Only Pancham🎶: 2025

Sending my heartfelt tributes💗to the Master on this special day 💮🎸

As the sun rises on this special day I begin with a playlist close to my heart, a musical journey that celebrates the eternal magic of Pancham-da💗

✨ His Music More Relevant Than Ever

The '90s dawned, swift and bold,

A new era, yet the echoes old.

Still lingered, strong in every strain,

As Pancham-da wove magic again.

Though time had aged his gentle hand,

His touch remained, so rich, so grand.

The changing tide could not erase,

The master's gift, his boundless grace.

From 1942 A Love Story, soft and sweet,

Where melodies and memories meet.

He blended East with Western hue,

And painted sound with colors new.

Keyboards and guitars, with sitar and santoor,

A sonic dance, refined and pure.

His smile spoke of fearless creation,

Crafting timeless innovation.

To Indrajeet fire, youthful, bold,

In every beat, a story told.

"Reshmi Zulfen, Nasheeli Aankhen", hypnotic trance,

A classic soul with modern dance.

"Kuchh Na Kaho", a whisper, a sigh,

Emotions drawn beneath a velvet sky.

From "Hum Na Samjhe The" romantic sway,

To Gardish’s depth, a haunting play.

In Gurudev, where rhythms ignite,

"Jaipur Se Nikli", a pure delight.

His vision, a flame that never died,

Burned bright with genius he couldn't hide.

Though the curtain fell on his earthly stage,

His '90s work defies its age.

Still fresh, still daring, still ahead,

Often outshining what’s now widespread.

In a world of fleeting beats and noise,

His music offers truth and poise.

Each note he left a living spark,

Still lighting fires in today’s dark.

What makes Pancham-da’s '90s output so special and enduring is how comfortably it fits into today’s musical sensibilities. His balance of organic instrumentation and electronic flair prefigured the hybrid sounds we now associate with indie music, film scores, and fusion genres. While many soundtracks today chase trends, Pancham-da set them, sometimes decades in advance.

To listen to his '90s catalog now is to realize that much of our current "modern" music is still catching up to what he was already doing 30 years ago.

We miss you, but your music never left Pancham-da💗

Today, as we celebrate his 🎂 birthday I began my day with a special playlist a sonic bouquet of Pancham-da's final decade. It moved me, as it always does. His music reminds us that true artistry doesn’t age. It evolves, it deepens and sometimes, it becomes prophecy.

So today, on his birthday, let us not just remember him, let us enjoy his MuSic Loudly & Joyfully. Whether it's a romantic ballad or a rhythmic dance number, let his songs fill our homes, our hearts, and our history.

Because Pancham-da didn’t just compose music. He composed sweet moments, and they live on, still as fresh, youthful and joyful.

And don’t miss this exquisite title music from Siyasat (1992), a modern, electronic canvas that, at one point (just after 1:22 min), seamlessly melts into a raga-based Indian classical motif. Simply💖Magic, enjoy

Legacy: A Tribute to His Later Years

The 90s dawned, a new decade's grace,

But Pancham's magic, time could not erase.

With age, his genius bloomed anew,

A fusion born of old and new.

Though age may creep, his genius soared,

New sounds he sought, a vibrant chord.

He fused the old with the modern's grace,

A fusion born of time and space.

In the 90s, a decade of change and evolution,
Pancham's melodies found a new revolution.
He embraced the contemporary, yet retained his classic flair,
Creating a fusion that captivated the soul, beyond compare.

"1942: A Love Story," a cinematic masterpiece,
Echoed with Pancham's melodies, a timeless release.

Pancham's spirit, a vibrant flame,

In every note, we hear his name.

"Ek Ladki Ko Dekha To Aisa Laga," a timeless tune,

"Kuchh Na Kaho," a love so profound.

"Rimjhim Rimjhim," a soulful rain,

"Pyar Hua Chupke Se," easing every pain.

World music whispers, a global hue,

Gave his creations a fresher view.

Though time may pass, his music lives on,

A timeless legacy, forever strong.

In the hearts of millions, his music lives on.
R.D. Burman, a legend whose legacy endures,
His music, a timeless treasure, forever to be treasured.

So let us raise a glass to the maestro,
Whose music continues to inspire and bestow.
For in the symphony of life, Pancham-da's melodies play,
A timeless tribute to a genius, forever to stay.

An incredibly prolific and talented musical genius, Pancham'da deserves recognition for both his background scores and composed songs. His works are an integral part of the Indian movie industry, and they continue to live on after his passing in our hearts through his melodic compositions🎶

💗Miss You 😭

This is a great write-up in the latest Filmfare digital, I can totally understand the emotions of the fan+writer, and enthusiasm around our BoSS,

"He’s the only composer whose legacy has survived from the ’60s till now. You feel his absence like you would of someone close to you. You feel there was so much left unsaid, so much left unshared... you feel sad that he’s not here today in a place where he would have been better appreciated, better understood. Believe me, I would exchange the man for the deity any given day..."
