The Mandolin Wonders Orchestra, comprising 14 dedicated disciples of Shri Pradipto Sengupta, will grace the stage with their harmonious melodies, leading into a captivating solo performance by the Maestro himself.

Burman for the film “Jeene Do” in January 1989, he has charted a path strewn with milestones, collaborating with luminaries such as Laxmikant Pyarelal, Ravindra Jain, and many more.

Noteworthy contributions to the Mumbai film industry include iconic compositions like “Mehendi Lagake Rakhna” and “Tumse Milke Aaisa Laga“. His latest triumph, “Mere Rashke Qamar” from the movie “Baadshaho”, stands as a testament to his enduring prowess.
