Only Pancham could’ve RendereD it

R D Burman and Dhanno in the same sentence would only bring Sholay to mind. And with good reason – the 1975 film is one of the most popular Hindi films of all time, and everything about it is iconic.

But his association with Dhanno went beyond Basanti’s mare.

Remember the lady whose eyes inspired Dhanno Ki Aankhon Mein, the only song from Kitaab (1977) on this blog?

Pancham’s involvement in it wasn’t restricted to composing it, but he rendered it too.

Gulzar did not just pen the track, but he directed the film as well.
