Divine notes
Unlike other classical artists, eminent flautist Pandit Ranendranath Majumdar, better known as Ronu Majumdar, doesn't curl up his nose with condescension at the mention of film music. Instead, he rates the music of several film music directors highly. Shantanu Moitra, AR Rahman and Shankar Ehsan Loy anyway figure in his "my favourites list."
