Five Bollywood Soundtracks by Amit Trivedi, you must Revisit
With ‘Queen’, Trivedi proved that music for him is not just a mere piece of decoration, but is also a part of the film’s narrative. One could relate to the film more closely because of its music and the background score, which were effortlessly composed by the music director.
Trivedi composed a brilliant tribute to the 50s era with his beautiful tunes that could transport the listener to a different timezone. Case in here is ‘Sawaar Loon’ which was effortlessly rendered by Monali Thakur that also fetched her several accolades and acclaim.
‘Ishaqzaade’ saw Trivedi experiment with influences of the rural Indian hinterlands and ably couple them with contemporary tunes. What we got were youth anthems in ‘Pareshaan’ and ‘Chokra Jawaan’.
‘Udaan’ was one of the most widely acclaimed films of 2010 and a massive credit for its success goes to Trivedi, who brought in his rock and grunge influences in the soundtrack of the film. What was also notable was how Trivedi collaborated with successful names from the independent music scene including Mohan Kannan, Joi Barua and Nikhil D’Souza.
Technically, ‘Dev D’ was Trivedi’s debut film though his second film ‘Aamir’ saw an earlier release. The popularity of ‘Dev D’s music found its audience among the classes and the masses alike. It’s hard to shrug off the memories of ‘Emosanal Attyachar’, ‘Pardesi’ ‘Nayan Tarse’ or ‘Saali Khushi’ anytime soon.
