Oh that dhinchak jhinchak
By Khalid Mohammed (mid-day)

"Be-bop-a-lula. Dear RD Burman's spirit is being rekindled over a choolah. Choke, let there be smoke-clouds-vapours-'n'-guitar-thwang-a-thwangs. Indeed, the late genius composer's accorded the status of god here, what with a prayer being performed before his padlocked apartment.

His vintage hits are recalled, rue-mixed and.. dhinchak jhinchak... bended-blasted-'n'-bombarded out of sound and shape.

Oh oh, surely the potentate of movie music must be rock-'n'-reeling in his heavenly grave.

This despite the die-heart, fan-like intentions of first-time director Sujoy Ghosh to pay his tha-tha-thaiya tribute to Panchamda."
