A Presidency College graduate of the 90s, currently a celebrity in Mumbai, has his musical ear tuned to what’s happening at the Assembly polls in Bengal. But he ain’t talking.
The only time Pritam Chakraborty, the gifted composer who recently took home the Filmfare for his work in Anurag Basu’s Ludo, actively dabbled in politics was way back when Independents’ Consolidation (IC, which won handsomely until recently) was formed during his college years.
“IC was not with the extreme Left or Naxals, not SFI or CP,” he pointed out. “It was an independent students’ body, and that was the only time I was involved with politics. No way will I get into any sort of politics today.”
