I truly believe that with every
succeeding generation, some things change to get enhanced and some tend to
deteriorate. We can imbibe what benefits us but to forgo our own traditions and
culture is like mutilating a beautiful language instead of letting it evolve.
The concept of “old wine in a
new bottle” applies to this superbly crafted Amazon original “Bundish Bandits”.
The producers have done Hindustani Classical music great service by packaging
the pure “bundish” or the classical song and raga rendition, contrasting it
with contemporary music.
Very cleverly titled, this
serial will inspire a new interest for our traditional raga based music. Much
as we might appreciate the rhythm and compositions of the current digitalised
music, this cannot be a substitute for the divinity of the pure notes which we
refer to as “Naad Brahma” meaning that sound is god.
It is pure harmony, pure joy.
My deep appreciation for the
way the old and the new have been blended without compromising the old. It is a
serial which one can go on watching with match sticks in the eyes, wanting to
watch just that one more episode.
