Sachin Dev Burman


The Dev Burmans had moved into the house from a rented property at Hindustan Park where Pancham was born. In 1945, SD Burman had bought a plot of land on Southend Park. It had taken two years for the construction to get over. The Dev Burmans lived in that house till 1952 before shifting to Mumbai. Some of the Burman's iconic songs were composed and sung by the duo in this very house. The popular song - Takdum takdum - was composed here too. There are countless stories of stalwarts like Ustad Allauddin Khan, Purna Das Baul, Salil Chowdhury, Hemanta Mukherjee and Asha Bhonsle frequenting this house. This house was finally bought by the Totla family in 1986. It is a Grade IIB heritage structure. The lane in front has been renamed as Sangeet Sarani.
