Description :Pankaj Mullick, also known as Pankaj Kumar Mullick was a Bengali Indian music director, who was a pioneer of film music in Bengali cinema and Hindi cinema at the advent of playback singing, as well as an early exponent of Rabindra Sangeet. Pankaj Mullick was the first among the early film-music composers who could identify in Tagore's music the versatility which film music needed. He found a music form truly representing the spirit of new India. In its truest sense, Tagore's music is a synthesis of Indian classical music, folk-song forms, and even Western music, with a very distinct identity of its own. Composers of the early talkies in Bengal, particularly Pankaj Mullick , found ready-made material in Tagore's melodies to meet their needs.
