Mumbai-based writer and filmmaker, Brahmanand Singh's documentary film, 'Pancham Unmixed: Mujhe Chalte Jaana Hai' recently had its world premiere at ArcLight Hollywood, Los Angeles as part of IFFLA 2008. The film has received a very positive response.

According to Brahmanand, "The R.D documentary was a houseful show, with people waiting outside, trying to use festival influences to get hold of a few more tickets. A lot of people had turned up from the East Coast and other parts of US, one even from Dubai, just to catch the film. Close to half a dozen festival representatives in US itself have reached out, wanting to invite the film. The response seemed absolutely phenomenal, and it was quite an experience."

This 113 minutes long documentary which brings together Asha Bhonsle, Gulzar, Shammi Kapoor, Randhir Kapoor, Rishi Kapoor, Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, Vishal Bharadwaj, Shantanu Moitra, Ismail Darbar, Usha Uthup, Kavita Krishnamurthy and many others, explores both the personal and profession life of R.D Burman. In fact, Pancham Unmixed touches upon many facets of the musical legend's life including how he got to do Teesri Manzil, his courtship, marriage and divorce with Rita Patel, his naughty pranks, his approach to music composition, his Latin American Album Pantera, his eventual lapse into depression and much more.
