I’m not sure who picked them but the choice of songs in the extra DVD is quirky at best. If you have the option of purchasing only the film’s DVD, go for that. The product I bought from Flipkart (link below) had two DVDs – one had the film and the other had a collection of 30 R.D. This DVD is really a fan collectible and people wanting to get to know Pancham and his work better will find more value in the National Award-winning book, R.D. I will probably watch sections of it again (Gulzar, Shammi Kapoor, Bhupinder, Asha Bhosle, Vidhu Vinod Chopra and Bhanu Gupta being my favorite ones) but that’s probably because I am a Pancham fan to begin with. The film left me with a lump in my throat. Burman is touching and shows that Pancham was not just a great musician but also a very nice human being. The tenderness with which they speak about R.D. The other really impactful set of conversations in the film is with people from Pancham’s team – Manohari Singh, Bhanu Gupta, Kersi Lord, etc. Burman, his creativity, his ability to marry melody and rhythm, his willingness to experiment and his knack of getting the best out of his singers. For most Pancham lovers, there are probably no new revelations but it’s still pretty cool to hear giants like Gulzar, Shammi Kapoor and Asha Bhosle talk about R.D. These individuals offer us insights into Pancham’s life and work and through their voices emerges a picture of a creative, musical genius who changed Hindi film music forever. The real substance of the film is formed by the interviews with R.D. Compared to the other heavy-hitters in the DVD, the sections with the fans are banal and add no new perspective. The latter set of people also consists of die-hard Pancham fans and in my opinion, the filmmaker wastes about 5 minutes of the viewers’ time talking to them. The views of these musicians add great value to the film. The latter set of people consists of present day musicians like Shantanu Moitra, Shankar – Ehsaan – Loy and Vishal Bhardwaj, who look up to Pancham and have been influenced by his work.
The former works, the latter works only partially. The 2-hour film is a compilation of interviews with people who knew and/or worked with Pancham and also with a few people who didn’t. It is not a documentary or biography but an unabashed tribute offered by the filmmaker to his hero. Burman by film-maker, Brahmanand Singh, the key word being “homage”.
