New Delhi. RD Burman said goodbye to the world on January 4, 1994. It has been 30 years since RD Burman left. However, his memories and songs still remain in the headlines. Every small thing related to his life is alive in the hearts of the audience and music lovers. Musician RD Burman composed music in more than 300 films. His songs are the first choice of the youth of the 21st century. Even today, fans search his songs on YouTube and listen to them and enjoy a lot.
As we have told you above, from 1960 to 1980, Pancham Da’s songs used to prove to be chartbusters at the box office. Whatever he wrote would become a hit. However, as the 80s ended and the 90s came, both Pancham Da’s stardom and charm weakened. As the 90s arrived, many new composers had established their dominance in the music industry. Music composers like Nadeem-Shravan, Anand Milind, Shiv Hari, Jatin-Lalit started getting a lot of importance in films. In such a situation, Pancham Da started getting fewer offers.
This time was very painful and disappointing for Pancham Da. However, he had one quality. He never went to anyone to ask for work. But he kept sitting in search of work. In such a situation, one day suddenly he got a big offer. A young director approached him for his film. This was such an occasion on which Pancham Da could not believe that his songs would still be in demand. In such a situation, Pancham Da became emotional. He could not stop himself in front of the director and started crying.
That young director was none other than Vidhu Vinod Chopra. Let us tell you that Vidhu is known for directing films like superhit film Parinda (1989), ‘1942: A Love Story (1994)’, ‘Mission Kashmir (2000)’, ’12th Fail (2023)/.
According to IMDB reports, after the superhit Parinda, when Vidhu came up with his second film ‘1942 A Love Story’, he approached Pancham Da for the song of this film. Pancham Da without delay promised Vidhu that he would give music in his film.
According to the report, when Vidhu reached Pancham Da’s house for his song, he sang his first song ‘Kuch Na Kaho, Kuch Bhi Na Kaho’ but Vidhu was not happy with this song. He rejected this song. Pancham Da ignored this rejection and did not say anything. But Vidhu said to Pancham Da while leaving- I am looking for music like the one in the picture behind you and I know that only you can give it. Pancham Da turned back and looked at the picture of his father Sachin Dev Burman. He became very emotional after seeing this. He promised Vidhu and said give me 1 week’s time.
