'''Sachin Dev Burman''' (1 October 1906 – 31 October 1975) was an Indian music director and singer. A member of the [[Manikya dynasty|Tripura royal family]], he started his career with [[Bengali language|Bengali]] films in 1937. He later began composing for [[Hindi]] movies and became one of the most successful and influential [[Bollywood]] film music composers. Burman composed the soundtracks for over 100 movies, including [[Cinema of West Bengal|Bengali films]] and Hindi.<ref>{{cite news |title=Sachin Dev Burman: Epitomising the East Bengali lilt |url=http://archive.thedailystar.net/newDesign/news-details.php?nid=111978 |newspaper=The Daily Star |date=30 October 2009 |access-date=29 May 2015}}</ref> Apart from being a versatile composer, he also sang songs in the light semi-classical and folk style of [[Bengal]]. His son, [[R. D. Burman]], was also a celebrated music composer for Bollywood films.

Burman's compositions were sung by the leading singers of the era, including [[Lata Mangeshkar]], [[Mohammed Rafi]], [[Geeta Dutt]], [[Manna Dey]], [[Kishore Kumar]], [[Hemant Kumar]], [[Asha Bhosle]], [[Shamshad Begum]], [[Mukesh (singer)|Mukesh]] and [[Talat Mahmood]]. As a playback singer, Burman sang 14 Hindi and 13 Bengali film songs.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.indiatoday.in/education-today/gk-current-affairs/story/sd-burman-344268-2016-10-01 |title=Remembering SD Burman: 10 lesser-known facts about Sachin Dev Burman |newspaper=India Today |access-date=10 January 2019 |date=1 October 2016}}</ref>

==Education==
S. D. Burman's first school was at Kumar Boarding in [[Agartala]], [[Tripura]]. It was a boarding school in the likes of [[Harrow School|Harrow]] and [[Eton College|Eton]] for sons of the royalty and the very rich.{{Citation needed|reason=a reference is needed for these statements|date=January 2017}} Burman's father, Raja Nabadweepchandra Deb Burman noticed the teachers were more busy with pampering the sons of the nobility than educating them. Burman's father took him from Kumar Boarding and admitted him at [[Yusuf School]] in [[Comilla]], before he was admitted in Class V in [[Comilla Zilla School]]. He completed his Matriculation in 1920 at the age of 14. He then got admitted at Victoria College, Comilla, which is presently [[Comilla Victoria Government College]] from where he passed his IA in 1922 and then BA in 1924. Burman left for Kolkata to start an MA in [[Calcutta University]], which he did not finish as music got the better of him for good.<ref name="gen">[http://www.uq.net.au/~zzhsoszy/ips/t/tripura.html Tripura Genealogy at Queensland Univ] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110821004621/http://www.uq.net.au/~zzhsoszy/ips/t/tripura.html |date=21 August 2011 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |title=S.D.Burman: The Prince Musician |last=Bhattacharjee |first=Anirudha |publisher=Westland Publications |year=2018 |isbn=9789387578180 |location=Chennai |pages=10–13}}</ref> He started his formal music education by training under the musician [[K. C. Dey]] from 1925 to 1930; thereafter in 1932 he came under the tutelage of [[Bhishmadev Chattopadhyay]], who was only three years his senior. This was followed by training from Khalifa Badal Khan, the [[sarangi]] maestro, and [[Ustad Allauddin Khan]], the sarodist. He brought K.C. Dey, Khalifa Badal Khan and Allauddin Khan to Agartala. The noted Bengal poet laureate, [[Kazi Nazrul Islam]] also spent time in their family home in Comilla in the early '20s.{{Citation needed|reason=a reference is needed for these statements|date=January 2017}}

==1930s==
Burman started working as a radio singer on Calcutta Radio Station in the late 20s, when his work as a singer-composer was based on Bengali folk and light Hindustani classical music. Consequently, his compositions were mainly influenced by his huge repertoire of folk-tunes from present Bangladesh and later other parts of India and around the world. His first record was also released in 1932 (Hindustan Musical Product), with "Khamaj" (semi classical), "E Pathey Aaj Eso Priyo" on one side and the folk "Dakle Kokil Roj Bihane" on the reverse side, on 78 rpm for Hindustan Records.<ref>[http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/msid-2055482,prtpage-1.cms Soul composer...] ''[[The Times of India]]'', 1 October 2006.</ref> In the following decade, he reached his peak as a singer, cutting as many as 131 songs in [[Bengali language|Bengali]], and also sang for composers like Himangsu Dutta (8), RC Boral (1), Nazrul Islam (4), Sailesh Das Gupta (2) and Subal Das Gupta (1).<ref name=karta/> He also sang for Madhavlal Master (1) and his son [[R. D. Burman|R.D. Burman]] (1).

In 1934, he attended the All India Music Conference, at the invitation of [[Allahabad University]], where he presented his Bengali [[Thumri]], all to an illustrious audience, with the likes of [[Vijaya Lakshmi Pandit]] and the inimitable [[Abdul Karim Khan]] of [[Kirana Gharana]]. Later in the year, he was invited to Bengal Music Conference, Kolkata, which was inaugurated by [[Rabindranath Tagore]], here again he sang his Thumri, and was awarded a Gold Medal.<ref name="karta">HQ Chowdhury. [https://web.archive.org/web/20160305040906/http://www.sdburman.net/sachin_karta.html Sachin Karta]. sdburman.net</ref>

He built a house in Southend Park, [[Ballygunge]], [[Kolkata]]. He married his student, [[Meera Dev Burman|Meera Das Gupta]] (1920–2007), the granddaughter of Magistrate Raibahadur Kamalnath Dasgupta from [[Dhaka]] on 10 February 1938 in [[Calcutta]] (now Kolkata),<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20071017210403/http://hindu.com/2007/10/17/stories/2007101753250500.htm S.D.

Burman severed ties with his royal family because he was frustrated with the unjust and unfair treatment meted out to his father and his brothers by the royal family of Tripura. The couple's only child, [[Rahul Dev Burman]] was born in 1939, and later, both Meera Devi and Rahul assisted S.D. Burman with some of the musical compositions.<ref>[http://www.themusicmagazine.com/sdburmantrib.html Bondhu rangila re – a tribute to S D Burman] ''theemusic magazine'', 31 October 2002.</ref><ref>[http://www.rediff.com/entertai/2002/nov/30dinesh.htm The minimilistic melody of Sachin Dev Burman – Biography] [[Rediff.com]].</ref> S.

As a music composer, he started with the Bengali plays ''Sati Tirtha'' and ''Janani'', and eventually gave his first score in the film ''Rajgee''. In 1937, his second film ''Rajkumarer Nirbashan'' (1940) became a hit. He gave music in [[Cinema of West Bengal|Bengali]] films such as ''Protishodh'' (1941), ''Abhoyer Biye'' (1942) and ''Chaddobeshi'' (1944) and only one Bengali film in 1969/70 after he permanently moved to Mumbai in 1946. He composed for over 20 Bengali films and 89 Hindi films in all.<ref name=karta/>

He made his film debut singing in ''Yahudi ki Ladki'' (1933) but the songs were scrapped and re-sung by [[Pahari Sanyal]]. His first film as a singer was finally ''Sanjher Pidim'' (1935).

==1940s==
In 1944, Burman moved to Mumbai, at the request of Sasadhar Mukherjee of [[Filmistan]], who asked him to give score for two [[Ashok Kumar]] starrers, ''Shikari'' (1946) and ''Aath Din'', but his first major breakthrough came the following year with the company's ''[[Do Bhai]]'' (1947). The song ''Mera Sundar Sapna Beet Gaya'' sung by [[Geeta Dutt]] was his breakthrough song into the film industry. In 1949 came ''[[Shabnam (1949 film)|Shabnam]]'', his biggest hit yet with Filmistan, especially noticeable for its multi-lingual hit song ''Yeh Duniya Roop ki Chor'', by Shamshad Begum, which became a rage in those days.<ref>[http://www.upperstall.com/people/sd-burman SD Burman] ''Upperstall.com''.</ref>

==1950s==
Disillusioned with the materialism of Mumbai, Burman left the [[Ashok Kumar]] starred ''Mashaal'' (1950) incomplete and decided to board the first train back to Calcutta. Fortunately, he was dissuaded from doing so.

In the 1950s, Burman teamed up with [[Dev Anand]]'s [[Navketan Films]] to create musical hits like ''[[Taxi Driver (1954 film)|Taxi Driver]]'', ''[[Nau Do Gyarah]]'' (1957) and [[Kala Pani (1958 film)|''Kala Pani'']] (1958). In addition, he gave music for ''[[Munimji]]'' (1955) and ''[[Paying Guest]]'' (1957). His songs sung by [[Mohammed Rafi]] and [[Kishore Kumar]] became popular. Burman composed the music for ''Afsar'' (1950). With the success of their second film ''[[Baazi (1951 film)|Baazi]]'' (1951), he made it to the top and a long association with Navketan and Dev Anand was on its way. ''Baazi'''s jazzy musical score revealed a new facet of singer [[Geeta Dutt]], who was mainly known for melancholy songs and [[bhajan]]s. One song from the film stood out – "Tadbeer Se Bigdi Hui Taqdeer", a [[ghazal]] that was occidentalised into a seductive song.{{Citation needed|date=June 2021}} The ''[[Jaal (1952 film)|Jaal]]'' song "Yeh Raat Yeh Chandni" sung by Hemant Kumar is an all-time great classic.{{Citation needed|date=June 2021}} The song "Thandi Hawain" from the film ''[[Naujawan (1951 film)|Naujawan]]'' (1951) sung by Lata Mangeshkar was one of his first major hits.{{Citation needed|date=June 2021}} It made Lata very famous as also poet Sahir.{{Citation needed|date=December 2020}}

He also wrote music for [[Guru Dutt]]'s films ''[[Pyaasa]]'' (1957) and ''[[Kaagaz Ke Phool]]'' (1959). The soundtracks of ''[[Devdas (1955 film)|Devdas]]'' (1955), ''[[House No. 44]]'' (1955), ''[[Funtoosh]]'' (1956), and ''[[Solva Saal]]'' (1958) were other S. D. Burman hits. In 1959 came ''[[Sujata (1959 film)|Sujata]]'', and S. D. created magic again with "Jalte hai Jiske Liye" by [[Talat Mahmood]].{{Citation needed|date=June 2021}}

When Guru Dutt made comparatively light-weight films like ''Baazi'' and ''Jaal'' (1952), Burman reflected their mood with compositions like "Suno Gajar Kya Gaye" or "De Bhi Chuke Hum" and when Guru Dutt made his sombre masterpieces – ''[[Pyaasa]]'' (1957) and ''[[Kaagaz Ke Phool]]'' (1959), he was right on target with "Jinhe Naaz Hai Hind" and "Waqt Ne Kiya Kya Haseen Sitam." In 2004, the soundtrack ''of Pyaasa'' was chosen as one of "The Best Music in Film" by ''[[Sight & Sound]]'', the [[British Film Institute]] magazine.<ref>{{cite magazine |title=The Best Music in Film |author=Olivier Assayas |magazine=[[Sight & Sound]] |date=September 2004 |url=http://www.bfi.org.uk/sightandsound/filmmusic/detail.php?t=d&q=6 |access-date=26 April 2009}}</ref>

In 1957, S. D. Burman fell out with [[Lata Mangeshkar]] and adopted her younger sister [[Asha Bhosle]] as his lead female singer. The team of S. D. Burman, [[Kishore Kumar]], [[Asha Bhosle]] and lyricist [[Majrooh Sultanpuri]] became popular for their duet songs. Bhosle later became his daughter-in-law after her marriage to [[R. D. Burman]].

In 1958, S. D. Burman gave music for [[Kishore Kumar]]'s house production ''[[Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi]]''. The same year, he was awarded the [[Sangeet Natak Akademi Award]] for his compositions in ''Sujata'' and remains the only music director to have won this prestigious award.<ref>[http://www.sangeetnatak.com/programmes_recognition&honours_films_musicdirection.html Music Direction] '' [[Sangeet Natak Akademi Award]]'' Official listing. {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070816031002/http://www.sangeetnatak.com/programmes_recognition&honours_films_musicdirection.html |date=16 August 2007 }}</ref> S. D. Burman often took inspiration from folk music, Hindustani classical music as well as the more mundane day to day sounds of life. For example, in a later interview, he discussed how he had composed the ''[[Kala Pani (1958 film)|Kala Pani]]'' tune for the Majrooh Sultanpuri / Md. Rafi / Dev Anand song "Hum bekhudi mein tum" based upon the [[Raga|Hindustani Raga]] "Raag Chayyanat" and the [[Muslim]] [[Muezzin]]'s call for prayers that one hears daily near a mosque.<ref name="rediff">{{cite web |last1=Bharatan |first1=Raju |title=The Aradhna Syndrome |url=http://inhome.rediff.com/movies/2000/oct/31burman.htm |publisher=Rediff |access-date=17 January 2017}}</ref>

==1960s==
Early on in his career, Burman refused to allow his voice to be lip-synced on film by actors;<ref name=karta/> as a result, even later on, in [[Hindi cinema]], his thin yet powerful voice was often used as [[bard]]ic commentary to haunting results, as in "O Re Majhi Mere Sajan Hai Us Paar" from ''[[Bandini (1963 film)|Bandini]]'' (1963), "Wahan Kaun Hai Tera" from ''[[Guide (film)|Guide]]'' (1965), and "Saphal Hogi Teri Aradhana" from ''[[Aradhana (1969 film)|Aradhana]]'' (1969),<ref>[http://www.hinduonnet.com/thehindu/fr/2006/07/28/stories/2006072801380100.htm Agartala palace is lit – Centenary celebrations] ''[[The Hindu]]'', 28 July 2006. {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080622171622/http://www.hinduonnet.com/thehindu/fr/2006/07/28/stories/2006072801380100.htm |date=22 June 2008 }}</ref> for which he received the [[National Film Award for Best Male Playback Singer]] in 1970.

Ill health caused a slump in his career in the early 1960s, but he gave many hit films in the late 1960s. In 1961, Burman and [[Lata Mangeshkar]] came together during the recording of [[R.D. Burman]]'s first song for the movie ''Chhote Nawab'' (1961). They reconciled their differences and started working again in 1962.

The Dev Anand-S. D. Burman partnership, under the [[Navketan Films|Navketan]] banner, continued to churn out musical hits like ''[[Bombai Ka Babu]]'' (1960), ''[[Tere Ghar Ke Samne]]'' (1963), ''[[Guide (film)|Guide]]'' (1965) and ''[[Jewel Thief]]'' (1967). In 1963, he composed the soundtrack of ''[[Meri Surat Teri Ankhen|Meri Surat Teri Aankhen]]'' (1963), in which [[Manna Dey]] sang the song "Poocho Na Kaise Maine" in [[raga]] [[Ahir Bhairav]]. This song was inspired by the song "Arun kanti ke go yogi", a masterpiece that was created by Bidhrohi Kabi Kazi Nazrul Islam and a Ustad Mushtaq Hussain Khan's Khayal which was based on raga Ahir bhairav (morning ragaa). That movie also had a song "Nache Mon Mora Magan", sung by Mohammad Rafi; these became landmarks in Hindi film songs.

Other S. D. Burman hits from this period were ''Bandini'' (1963), ''[[Ziddi (1964 film)|Ziddi]]'' (1964), and ''[[Teen Devian]]'' (1965). In ''Bandini'', Sampooran Singh (well known as [[Gulzar (lyricist)|Gulzar]]), made his debut as a lyricist with the song "Mora Gora Ang Lai Le", though the other songs were written by [[Shailendra (lyricist)|Shailendra]]. ''[[Guide (film)|Guide]]'' (1965) starring Dev Anand, was probably the best {{citation needed|date=March 2012}} of his work during the time with all the songs super-hits as well as the film; however, it did not receive the [[Filmfare Award]] in the best music director category for that year, which remained always a discussion among the Bollywood film pandits.

''Aradhana'' (1969) is considered another landmark score in Bollywood history. The music of the movie shaped the careers of singer [[Kishore Kumar]], lyricist [[Anand Bakshi]] and filmmaker [[Shakti Samanta]]. According to the director Shakti Samanta, originally, Mohammed Rafi was supposed to have sung all the songs in the film (he sang only two song), but he was on 2 month long tour and they didn't want to wait for 2 months. So, he suggested Burman to use Kishore Kumar instead as Rajesh Khanna was a newcomer and he agreed. All the songs became chartbuster which made Kishore Kumar an overnight sensation.

S. D. Burman went into a coma soon after rehearsing the song "Badi Sooni Sooni Hai" (sung by [[Kishore Kumar]]) for the film ''Mili''. He died on 31 October 1975 in [[Mumbai]].

==Relationship with Kishore Kumar==
Burman was the only composer who had used both Rafi and Kishore in an almost equal number of songs. He regarded Kishore as his second son. Kishore confessed that it was Sachin Da, who had given him the first chance. Even after the rehearsal of "Badi Sooni Sooni" from ''Milli'', when Sachin had a stroke, Kishore went up to the hospital and said to him "Dada, please don't worry, your recording is after three days, you just see how well it goes." The song is considered one of the best of Kishore Kumar. Sachin also used to telephone Kishore in the dead of night, and on the telephone, he would start to sing the new tunes which he composed and ask Kishore to sing with him.{{citation needed|date=March 2019}}

== Legacy ==
British singer of South Asian heritage [[Najma Akhtar]], recorded a [[Shanachie Records]] CD of Burman's work, ''Forbidden Kiss: The Music of S.D. Burman,'' an album of covers of Burman compositions.

The Indian cricketer [[Sachin Tendulkar]] was named after the composer by Sachin's grandfather, who was an ardent fan of Burman.{{Citation needed|date=June 2021}}

The singer and mimicry artist [[Sudesh Bhonsle]] frequently parodies the nasal high-pitched voice and quixotic singing style of S. D. Burman.{{Citation needed|date=June 2021}}

Burman paired with tabla maestro late Brajen Biswas for his Bengali songs. The beats or "thekas" created by Brajen Babu for these songs are unique and no one in the world can sing these songs in the original "thekas". All the "thekas" are according to the mood of the songs. But recently, painter, sculptor and singer Ramita Bhaduri sang the tough songs of Burman such as "Ami chhinu aka", "Rangeela", "Aankhi Duti Jhare" etc. in the original "theka" on the taleem of Brajen Biswas. The CD from "Raga Music" (Symphony) was released at Kolkata Press Club. The CDs are available in M. Biswas & Symphony.{{Citation needed|date=June 2021}}

Burman had a unique style of composing film songs. While most of the composers used a harmonium or piano to compose the tune, he composed tunes using rhythm such as clapping hands. He was very fond of "Paan" which was specially made by his wife with a piece of dried orange peel and "kevda" flower (Odoratissimus flower) for flavour and taste. In addition, there were his chosen paanwalas (paan vendors) near Khar Station, his bungalow "The Jet" and Bharati Vidya Bhavan from where he could get paans to his liking. That was the reason that he would not share his paan with anyone as he will run short of his paans. He would carry only few extra paana which he would give as a reward to the one whom he appreciated for his work.{{Citation needed|date=June 2021}}
