आर.डी. बर्मनला पहिलं फिल्मफेअर पुरस्कार मिळायला वेळ लागलं 🎶

RD Burman's first released film as an independent music director was Chhote Nawab (1961). Inspite of giving so many hits in 60s and 70s he got his first filmfare award in 1981 for the movie Sanam Teri Kasam followed by Masoom (1984) and 1942: A Love Story (1994).
Though Burman laid the foundation for numerous Bollywood music directors to pave the path for the future of music in Bollywood cinema, he was awarded a total of only three Filmfare Awards, one of which was awarded posthumously (for 1942: A Love Story).
