God bless you Madhav ji. You are truly Pancham fan by heart

When I saw Babu Ji in Indian Idol , I said to my mother "Look Babu Ji is there, just wait and Indian Idol will introduce him". Mother replied to me "May be, lets see". And I said what do you mean by may be, they must introduce him. Then we watched whole episode but.. at last my mother laughed at me for my confidence. Your anger is right. This is a real SHAME for Indion Idol.

Wow Great musicians We are indebted to Pancham Da❤ Thanks for the video

Madhav ji thank you... Main ajkal ye sab show nehi dekhti hu.. Kiu ki pahle ye show dekhne layek tha.... Abhi gaana chhor k baki sab kuchh hota hai... But sachh main aap ne bahut sahi kahi.... Hum log kabhi age nehi ja payenge agar hum log un logo ko nehi samman denge jo indian music k dharak hai....

Salute you Madhavji. You raised a pertinent important question that exposes the TRP racket. I had the fortune to meet Ranjit Gazamer ( Kanchada) a few times in Kolkata shows on Panchamda where he publicly and privately shared so many trivia and anecdotes and it reflected the utmost respect and adulation he had for Panchamda.He is one of the finest madal player and a great composer now in his own right. He shared along with Late Homi Mullan that how Panchamda always took care of his musicians as a family member and paid his entire fees and even overtime when Kanchada was immobile due to a bad slipped disc . I am definitely going to make your video viral.

Thankyou so much Madhavji hatsoff to you it's a big insult that an elderly person like Ranjit Gazmer had to take why call him and do such a drama of Pancham fans even Pancham da himself in heaven must be unhappy seeing this done to his most favorite member who was a family you will never ever prosper who ever has done it height of shamefulness

nice 👍 good I am always with you Jai Shri Krishna

Ranjit Gazmer sir is from Darjeeling. A legend of Hindi and neplai music. Thanks sir for the tribute video

As very big fan of Pancham Da we torally agree with you and share the anger.

Thanks for your video with genuine information. Really Shame indian idol.

THANKS A LOT..SHAME ON INDIAN IDOL

Thank you sir for opening our eyes for this..We were truly not aware of Kancha sir's presence in this episode..We as Pancham fans can't tolerate this

Well Done Madhavji.. real artists go missing on TRPs . They forever remain in the hearts of music lovers . It's no wonder that today's music sound so lifeless

Thank you sir,for giving us this information.

So sad.. thankyou sir for informing us about the true value of a kancha bhai.

A big thank you to you for bringing up and shedding light on this important issue

You have done a very noble work by bringing this great person into limelight. I used to wonder in Panchamji’s songs what is the percussion instrument that is used. Truly speaking that has infused life into his songs. From the day I heard these songs I loved the rhythm Yes, this video has to be viral.

The contribution of Ranjeet Gazmer with respect to R D Burman is uncountable and Gazmer himself is a legendary musician in Nepal and Nepali music too. Gazmer is a gentle person and has dedicated his entire life to the music industry with sincerity. Thank you for making this content. Whether people respect Ranjeet Gazmer or not, he will ever be a legendary musician always.

Wow. U r doing great work.

Super video! Shame on you Indian Idol Producers!

Thank you for the video, Madhav. Indian Idol doesn’t know the value of these things. They only value the TRP. Sad to see this casual, insensitive attitude towards our musical heritage. But then as the saying goes - Bandar kya jaane adrak ka swad!?

Perfect my friend! I am not a fan of Indian Idol. Happened to watch it as soon as I saw RD's name. Got the goosebumps when I saw Kanchabhai playing in one corner. I thought, he will get his due, get some sort of felicitation on the stage. Totally disappointed. Then, this video showed up in my feed. Totally agree with you. Such a gentlemen and modest person he is. Shame on Indian Idol. They are probably clueless how lucky they were when Kanchabhai came to play at their show. He's much larger than the show. He played for RD, for him this show doesn't matter at all. And for RD fans like me, Indian Idol is just another filler on the TV. To us, RD, his music, his team, his melodies are timeless and priceless.

Thank you so much for telling us the truth 🙏🙏

Excellent Sir,for the untold facts.Hates off to kancha Bhai.

Love from Nepal lots of respect to our living legend Ranjit Gazmer sir ❤

Indian Idol has many a times performed things for TRP but this time it's gone a way ahead, disrespect for a Legend like Kanchabhai cannot be tolerated, shared almost with all my contacts Maddy.

I support you and your devotional thoughts about our god Pancham. I definitely viral video. Long live Pancham wherever you are. Pancham come once again as early as possible to our world to play such a wonderful master stroke like 1942 A Love Story.

Thank you for speaking the truth ! Shame on Indian idol!

This is what happens when money becomes the top priority. Thank you for taking on Indian Idol on this issue. PanchamDa devotees like us fully support you.

My humble correction -Mr. Ranjit Gajmer is an Indian by birth,he is from Darjeeling NOT Nepal.

Thank you for highlighting. Shame on Indian Idol!

Truly by heart i respect to kancha ji..kabhi kismat ne chaha to unse milna zarur chahunga .mere liye bahut special ho jayega wo din.

Thank you so much for revealing our living legend Mr Ranjit Gazmers' contribution towards Bollywood music.

Utter disgrace to the legendary Pancham Da. Ranjit Gazmer is a veteran music director of Nepal himself . His contribution to the music industry is immense and it is so heartbreaking to see such wonderful gems of the music industry being insulted in this manner … if they didn’t have the screen time why bother calling such an elderly person for shoot … why give him false hopes and false promises ?? @Indian Idol is a disgrace and it’s high time the makers learn a lesson … TRP cannot be the ultimate goal … you cannot insult such senior artists like this . Pancham Da is definitely not happy today .

बहोत धन्यवाद जी। आप के कारण काञ्चा जी के विषय में यह महत्त्वपूर्ण ज्ञान हुआ। प्रणाम।

Thanks for sharing. You are great sir

Really appreciate this! Kanchabhai was such an integral part of the Great RD Team! The tragedy is that Indian Idol would celebrate Laxmikanth- Pyarelal and Kalyanji Anandji very royally. But when it came to Pancham it was very ordinary! Pancham was way way ahead of these composers and till date my anger is the fact that R .D. Burman and his team are never being celebrated! They are only being " Mentioned". No wonder God took him away early from these goons who never realised his genius music! Coz R.D & his team were way beyond all these nonsenses

Blessed to hv shot with the senior musicians for RD Nite on Zee Classic that was directed by me. And am proud to have offered them proper screen time with the channel’s support on national television. Respect to the musicians & thanks to Zee for this.

Great information from u such a genius person. Thanks

Ranjit gazmer ki Nepal me bahut pyar or izzat hai, gazmer sahab ne nepali movi industry me bahut hi yadgar or behetarin gane diye hai Woh nepal ka pancham da hai. So aapki is video ke jariya pata chala Indian Idol ke kartoot ke baare me so thank you bhaia🙏❤️🇳🇵🇳🇵

I also noticed KanchaBhai's presence in the background but expected that he will introduced later. But that didn't happen. It's sad. At least Vishal who was shedding tears should have noticed and corrected. So many people are making money out of Panchamda who himself didn't have money in the end. I will not see Indian Idol again. Sorry Panchamda, You have given us so much joy, but we will not be able to give you anything else but love and respect.

As I watched this Indian Idol episode I was waiting that they will bring some old musician from Pancham Da's team and have them say a few words about RDB. Then I saw this old man playing maadal in one of the songs and that raised my hopes of listening directly from one of Pancham Da's team member. However, that did not happen and I was disappointed. In fact, they turned the episode in another direction away from RDB. I totally agree with Madhav ji and his disappointment towards Indian Idol. They should have taken the opportunity to honor Shri Ranjit Gazmer in this episode and requested him to share some of the amazing experiences of him with RDB. Shame on you Indian Idol😔😠

Thabx for info. Shame on Indian idol

Hello...!!! My name is Yash Soman and I am Tabla Player, Percussionist, Music Composer and Arranger based out of Pune. I am a huge fan of Pancham Da and I am shocked after watching this video. Thanks a lot for creating awareness.

I Knossos this fantastic story, homie, uncle, amrut kaka was told me many superhitssss music sitting story's... My KANCHA kaka is not only master of percastionist but as human golden ♥, am so proud that only KANCHA kaka but Priti Didi, bharati didi, Satya dada everyone feels like sanju as family member. All credit goes to pancham uncle and super showers... Blessings my great GURUJI. BHANU uncle!!

Mr. R.D.BURMAN Sir was a real gem of Indian music industry. And I m thankful to u for sharing the this information about his team members.

Thanks from heart for sharing n enlighten

Thanks Maddy for making sure the World knows this absolutely abhorable show

Hats off to those three for compliting the background scores for 1942 Love Story. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🌹🌹🌹

😮😮Actually You are very right and have shared the real facts.I am aware of Kanchaji's contributions in the journey of Late R.D.Burman's Music,and some few senior musicians like u have mentioned. It was the duty of Indian Idol to invite them to the platform and felicitate them too.Yes I agree with u completely and will definitely share this with all our Music fraternity being a singer myself. Regards 🙏

Wonderful insight..thank you....

Wow thankful to u mentioned ranjit gazmer sir, our pride of Nepal !!

I have been a die-heart fan of Pancham since 1994. However, I was not aware of Kanchaji's contribution when our pancham left us after 1942 a love story. Thank You very much for sharing with us. Yes, I also applaud with you "SHAME ON YOU INDIAN IDOL". I saw some one playing this madal but did not recognize it was Kanchaji. I surely agree with you that for Pancham all of his musician were family and I have seen Bhramhanad Documentary Movie on "Unmixed Pancham". I am sure Panchamda would have really hurt if he was alive today.

Beautiful collage of memories associated with RD Burman ji and Ranjit Gazmer ji...Glad at least this video is bringing up his contribution to the forefront. ❤

Thank you for bringing this issue. Ranjit Gazmer is a leading living legend of Nepali music industry. His contribution in Indian music had no limitation working with melody legend of Indian music, RD Burman. Absolutely SHAME ON INDIAN IDOL which completely ignored RD Burman’s most close associate, that in fact, a huge disrespect to RD Burman himself. Again SHAME ON YOU, INDIAN IDOL !!! Hope they realize their ignorance and stupidity , and act accordingly. Love and greetings from Maryland, USA ❤🌷

Wow what a great video. Thank you

Thank you soo much Sir for sharing this information with us 🙏

When we listen to RD s songs...we can actually feel every note and the instrument players.

Thank you for sharing this. I don’t watch any of the new shows because they only care for their views! Disrespect of older music performers is a disrespect to music #shameonyouindianidol #boycottindoanidol #indianidol #indianidolshow

Yes 👍 we gree with you, right saying.

Thank you so much Madhav Ji for bringing this issue in limelight. I have already banned singing reality shows a long time back. It is indeed a very shameful thing on Indian Idol's part and these people will never learn until we all decide to ban such shows. The poor participants too need to understand the values of Indian music and it's creators and learn to respect what these gems have bestowed upon us. If it were'nt for these legends, Indian music would never have been where it is now. Sadly, that too is deteriorating.

Thank you for giving an honest and real exposé.. I respect the judges Vishal & Himesh - hope they take this matter seriously and give absolute due recognition to Kancha bhai , as well as other musicians . Voice is not the only “ talent “. ( in a music industry). 🎼 let’s bring the deserving dedicated and diminishing musicians in the forefront , along with the singers . Thank you 🙏

Well done Bhai same on u Indian idol members

U are very true. Shame on indial idol. They should be behind the bar

Thank you Madhavji for letting us know of Kanchchaji, such an unsung gem🙏....as for what happens on Indian Idol, this is is a mirror of the unaunthentic times we are living in today....an environment that has become blunt to the really good things in life, that are worthy of celebrating and drawing inspiration from!

Appreciate the creator of this piece of vlog. The mainstream Indian media has been largely unfair towards Gorkhas, whether of India or Nepal, hiding the true achiements, contributions & sacrifices of Gorkhas. Further, there has been consistent tendency to tag all Gorkhas, even Indian Gorkhas, with Nepal. Though Ranjit Gazmer is an Indian from Darjeeling, he is often misunderstood to be a Nepali national.

Thank you so much for speaking on this matter.

Great respect to kancha bhai nd great great great shame on indian idol

Dear Madhavjee, We are all big fans of Panchamda whose music we all love so much. A big thank you to you for bringing up and shedding light on this important issue regarding Ranjit uncle. I call him uncle because he is a very dear friend of my father, late Gopal Yonjan, a highly regarded , Nepali lyricist, music composer and singer. Both of them had a commonality in the fact that they were both born in Darjeeling and went on to achieve great heights in Nepali music. I see a couple of comments disputing that Ranjit Gazmer is an Indian because he was born in India and therefore he cannot be called a music composer from Nepal. I think what these commenters need to understand is that Ranjit Gazmer was born into an ethnically Nepali background and has contributed immensely to Nepali film music - which gives him the right to be called a popular and much loved Nepali music composer. It is important to clear this out so we learn to move away from petty geographical polities and embrace the higher and richer meaning of music and all that it gives us. Yes, reality shows these days have become more of a melodrama than what they actually can be. Sadly, Nepali musical reality shows are following suit. I wish to thank you especially for bringing up this issue for Ranjit Gazmer, (which should not have been the case) and for your deep understanding of his contributions. I am saddened by the lack of responses by Nepalis to this issue - especially those who are sitting on their chairs with big titles heading various musical organizations. Keep providing us with more musical info and keep voicing your concerns against the nautanki the musical scene is becoming these days! Thank you.

You are so correct and I never watch such programs even though I am a musician myself, because respect is always first especially for legends who are either still with us or no longer with us and may their soul rest in eternal peace 🙏🕉🙏. Indian Idol such a fake show with stupid judges who think they know everything, insults etc…

I appreciate u for making us aware of such a shameful act by indian idol of disrespecting a great music personality.

Thanks to you Madhav ji, for bringing up the issue. Sach mein Indian idol should be ashamed of their work. Do they understand who was Pancham da!

Madhav,well said...exactly my thoughts, feelings & DISTRESS at not seeing Kanchaji on Sat on Indian idol...SHAME ON IDOL Forget about the young singers even the musicians were awful

Salute to Madhav ji, same on you Indian idol . Without musicians singers are nothing so please give respect to them, don't run after TRP. Ranjit Gajamer is indian by birth.

Ty Sir for the information about kancha Bhai. Shame on u Indian idol.

I love the respect you have for great RD Barman

Absolutely A BIG SHAME on Indian Idol. Ranjit Gajmerji is a legendary music Composer in his own right, he has been Publicly honoured by the Vice President of Nepal himself for his decades of contribution to the Music Industry, and Ranjeet Gajmerji similiarly was associated Very Closely with the Legendary Panchamda and was one of his most closest and reliable confidant apart from being a Musician. Indian Idol invited Ranjeet Gajmerji and shot a significant segment with him about Panchamda not only on the sets of Indian Idol but also at his home. But after that for reasons better known to Indian Idol (or for some particular reason it seems) they just completely deleted his entire segment and in doing so they not only insulted Such a Senior Artist and Musician So Close to Panchamda, but also insulted the Legendary Panchamda himself. SHAME Indian Idol.

Yes! even I noticed an elderly person on the set during a performance from one of the contestant. I watched that episode from middle so I had no clue who that musician was. Thanks to this video I came to know who this great musician was. This is so humiliating to such a a great artist.

Sir great information sharing with us thanks we love so much our R D Burman Sahab and kancha ji.

I agree. I saw the gentleman playing the instrument. So glad you are highlighting the problem. Indian Idol shame on you.

Sir, you are a great person with feeling of Justice in your heart. I knew about it earlier but I couldn’t do anything because I have no idea about making videos. You did it and I appreciate your effort to disclose the reality. Thank you so much for making making this video.

Great Pancham 🙏❤

thank you very much, yes you are right shame on Indian idol. Dada is my breath of life. love, from Nepal.

Mai aajkal Indian idol nahi dekhta hu,you are superb

Madhavji,really happy to see your true love for Pancham da and his team..Absolutely heartfelt words from a true Pancham bhakt..I am really not surprised by what Indian Idol has done..Because they create content only and only for TRP..Bechare gareeb ma baap ka singer beta,contestants ke beech ka pyar,masti,maa baap ka struggle, bhai behen ka struggle,struggle dekh ke ronewale judge..for all this they have lots of screen time..and it has been like this from day one..There is a huge huge difference between American Idol and our filmy Indian masala Idol..American Idol has maintained its decorum till the latest season,whereas our Masala Idol is becoming more and more FILMY with every new season,inspite of getting some genuinely talented contestants.. Secondly one msg to all the people who are typing "Great video,but please correct he was born in darjeeling and not nepal" One gentleman even wrote "Do you mean Darjeeling is in Nepal"? Are bhai log he has just said that "Kancha bhai Nepal ke bohot bade sangeetkar the" he has not said kancha bhai nepal mein janme bade music director the..please stop bringing out a stupid issue out of his statement..nowhere he has said Kancha da was born in Nepal..And this video is not about if Kancha da was born in nepal or darjeeling or Jakarta or Africa..Please focus on the issue he has raised so emotionally about the disrespect of Kancha da the legendary musician on the SO CALLED big indian show.. Love Panchamda..Love his team!

Sri Ranjit Gazmer was born on 3rd October 1941 in Darjeeling, India. He is an Indian citizen of Gorkha ethnicity. Maadal is a part of Nepali musical culture.

Thanks for such a precious information..

Thank you so much sir for this information.

While watching this episode, i was impatiently waiting for Kancha bhai's intro and the amazing trivia of his invaluable contribution.....but alas...the episode was over and we were shocked at this negligence.......Maddy sir I share this pain with you and all we Pancham fans

Yes I was so surprised they didn’t introduce him 🥹Mr Gazmer is a unsung musician in Bollywood,na kisine unki kadar ki , what a shame absolutely 😮

Love you for what you are and what contribution you have bestowed

Thank you sir for Great information about Ranjit Gajmer. No more Indian idol anymore.

You have given us priceless information that very few people were aware of. Indian Idol in any case has become a show which is nothing but hype. And audiences are now aware of this. Thank you for sharing this invaluable piece of knowledge.

I heard Ranjit Jis music in the DDs serial Ajnabi's title music. What a soul touching music. Huge respect for him.

Great bro 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Well said. I was utterly shocked when nobody bothered to utter his name or presence in that episode. Really shameful.

It's appalling to see a team of insensitive jokers hogging the limelight in the name of RD and presenting a half baked show to his fans.. can understand your disgust regarding Kancha Bhai. He is such a fine gentleman. Hope and pray this cry reaches the right ears and they improve their content, production and marketing team. Thank you Maddy for doing this...

It's really sad to see such things still happening. Anyway, we cannot expect much from people who make a living by exploiting and abusing artists. Babuji is a living legend and nobody can change that truth. He's a source of inspiration for many of us and such classless ppl will never realise that. Indian idol ppl didn't recognise the real Indian Idol. Sone ki karobari mein kya kare kabaadi. Aa gae aaukaat mein.

Thank you Bhai for the information of RD Burman team members.

Thanks Maddy Sir
