==Production==<br />
Rajesh Pinjani was inspired by his mentor Purshottam Jadhav, an [[Indian Administrative Service|IAS]] officer who supported his cause of making short films on subjects such as no smoking, save the girl child and so on. Pinjani was also inspired by the various films shown at [[Pune International Film Festival]] (PIFF) and decided to make one of his own. Pinjani says, "I was inspired by the various films shown at PIFF and decided to make one of my own. A friend suggested that I should make a film on brass bands. I was looking for a director for six months, but eventually decided to direct the film myself.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.punemirror.in/index.aspx?page=article&sectid=2&contentid=2011052020110520055849458c436d48e |title=City Baboo Band Baaja makes sweet music for National Awards jury |publisher=Pune Mirror |date=20 May 2011 |accessdate=28 May 2011 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20111006150747/http://www.punemirror.in/index.aspx?page=article&sectid=2&contentid=2011052020110520055849458c436d48e |archivedate=6 October 2011 |df=dmy }}</ref> The film, because of its extensive research, took almost one and a half years to complete.
