Pandit Krishnarao Shankar Pandit

Director: Vijay Raghav Rao
Year: 1986
An autobiographical on the Gwalior gharana maestro Pandit Krishnarao Shankar Pandit, who was 94 when this film was made. Interviews include : Pandit Ravi Shankar, and the maestro's sons, Shankar Pandit, Lakshman Pandit and Chandrakant Pandit, besides music critic Mohan Nadkarni and an admirer. Krishnarao Shankar Pandit had sung before Mahatma Gandhi and Vallabhbhai Patel in Ahmadabad; both these great leaders of India's freedom struggle,were very much impressed by his music. Mahatma Gandhi went directly from the Congress conference at Amritsar, to Jalandar to attend a music conference where he heard three doyens of the classical Hindustani music, Ramkrishnabua Vase, Bhaskarbua Vaze and Krishnarao Shankar Pandit.

A beautiful depiction of Panditji's life. Befitting gaud sarang (a forte of Gwalior gharana) to start and end the film.
