I’ve hummed his energetic, dramatic, emotional background scores as fervently as I’ve sung RD’s songs. They’re as much movie as they’re melody. Of which these seven are all-time faves (1/7) #RDBURMAN #PanchamForever
The immortal Sholay theme
The immortal Sholay theme
Deewar’s opening credits, reused to the point of stock music. (2/7)
Babu’s sinisterly stepping out of the prison in Satte Pe Satte and that peculiar trilling sound and the delightful story behind it. (3/7)
The poignant Shakti main theme, the superb tabla charged airport chase (long, long before Darr) beats (4/7)

Taden-dhang-taden-dhang! From the hammering electronic beats definitive of Arjun Malvankar to the whole hounding haw-haw-haw-hawww-hooo-ho of RD pitching in that calypso-themed iconic chase, A to Z of whoa! (5/7)
Ditto like Deewar, the stunning, tense theme by rocking RD was borrowed left, right, centre. But there’s just one Kaalia, Kaalia, Kaalia! (6/7)
Don’t think I can ever hear this tune and not have goosebumps popping all over my skin and a huge lump form in my throat. The Masoom melody is love. (7/7)
And a special mention for the numerous, cheerful, romantic la la la la la's of Saagar.
