Pancham Unmixed (2009)
Directed by Brahmanand
S. Singh this documentary features contributions from a large number
of people in the Bollywood music business. We follow the career of R.
D. Burnman also known as Pancham da who is credited with
revolutionising the music of Bollywood.
As someone with little
knowledge of Bollywood or music I thought this film did a good job of
explaining what was special about it's subject but could have done a
better job at showing what the state of Bollywood music was like
before he began his career. Some more comparisons to contemporaries
might have helped but this film does not fall into the the trap of
just being hero worship at least. I really enjoyed the small glimpses
of the different films from across the ears of Indian cinema that
this film provided.
3/5
