Soundtrack of Cannes Fest entry 'Dharm' launched

Mumbai, May 15 (UNI) The soundtrack of 'Dharm', directed by Bhavna Talwar, India's entry to the prestigious Cannes Film Festival 2007 was launched today at Planet M here.

This is the first time that a debut film of a woman director is being showcased at Cannes.

The original Soundtrack (OST) of 'Dharm', composed by Debajyoti Mishra captures the essence of the protaganist - Pandit Ram Narayan Chaturvedi, a Brahmin priest's - journey towards reaffirmation of his faith and beliefs.

The music is a blend of both classical music with haunting vedic chants, and modern contemporary style.

Before her directorial debut, Bhavna Talwar had worked for The Asian Age, and ad-filmmaker Johnny Pinto. She believes in making meaningful films that convey a message and prefers 'critical acclaim' to commercial success.
