The film will be screened this week as part of a documentary festival called Lights Camera Music. Curmally tells us that the project, which Megha Ramaswamy directed, is a tribute to those who made Rhythm House possibly Mumbai’s most famous music destination. Her family owned it, and she has fond memories of spending time there as a kid, looking at records, and realising how important they were. When her family decided to shut shop, she tried to convince them against it. It didn’t work. Technological advancements had changed how listeners consume music in such a drastic manner, that it didn’t make financial sense to continue operations any longer.

The Last Music Store is her way of keeping memories of the landmark alive, through interviews with people who worked there. “I wanted to create a memoriam to the amazing times they had selling music,” Curmally says, adding that the film is not just meant for those who can recall their own experiences of Rhythm House. “Anyone who understands loss and nostalgia will like to watch it.”
