R C Boral

Rai Chand Boral(1903-1982) is often credited to be the pioneer of Indian film music.

He and Pankaj Mullick were in charge of New Theatres' music department. New Theatres set standards in film music which have rarely been approached since. They also shaped film music in its early days and their format was followed for the most part for first 20-30 years in Hindi film music. He was also responsible for shaping Saigal's budding career. Anil Biswas called Boral 'Bhishma Pitamah of film music'.

Boral was a recipient of Dadasaheb Phalke award in 1978.
