One of the greatest ever music directors of the Indian film industry was born today. He would've been 74 now if he was alive, but even after his demise, his music has stayed alive and people to this date are mesmerized by Pancham da's magical tunes.

He is one of my personal favorites, so thought of making a topic here than in the music chat topic.
I think it would be really great if you all would post your favopurite RD Burman songs in this post, it would be easier for me to keep on listening to some of his best songs!😃

One of my ultimate favourite is the soundtrack of Masoom. I love all the songs he has composed for the film with Lakri Ki Kaathi being quite an anthem for me when I was small.šŸ˜†

My favourite songs composed by him:-

Do Naina(Masoom)

RD Burman is THE BEST! He defines Bollywood music! šŸ‘

The best songs over different eras belonged to him. Film could be trash or flop but RDB would embellish it with gems of songs that are successful till date! ā­ļø

SD Burman, RD Burman both were great.

I wish RDB hadn't faced crisis which he did in twilight years of life... 😭

RDB continues to live on in his melodies that play across the country and beyond to this day and are remixed in new films also.

The first superstar music director of the country! *Respect*

5 lesser known facts about RD Burman
RD Burman with his father SD Burman
One of the most prolific music directors of Bollywood, Rahul Dev Burman was born on June 27, 1939. Today, on his 74th birth anniversary, we present five lesser known facts about the celebrated composer.

- RD Burman was nicknamed as Puncham and was popularly addressed by most of his industry friends by the same name. Apparently the nickname was given to him by actor Ashok Kumar when he heard the newborn Rahul saying the word Pa repeatedly. Another story says that RD Burman could cry in five different notes and hence was called Puncham (meaning five in Bengali).

- RD Burman composed his first song at the age of nine for the film Fantoosh (1956).

- Apparently some of the tunes credited to his father, the popular music director SD Burman, were actually composed by RD Burman. Some of such superhit songs include 'Sar Jo Tera Chakraye' (Pyaasa), 'Mere Sapno Ki Rani Kab Aayegi Tu' (Aradhana) and 'Kora Kagaz Tha Yeh Mann Mera' (Aradhana).

- Popular music director duo Laxmikant-Pyarelal played in the orchestra of RD Burman. RD Burman also gave break to several singers like Kumar Sanu, Abhijeet and Mohammad Aziz.

- RD Burman was nominated 18 times at the Filmfare Awards in the Best Music Director category. Of these, he won thrice for Sanam Teri Kasam (1983), Masoom (1984) and 1942 A Love Story (1995). Incidentally he won his last award posthumously.
