The acclaimed music director says that the pattern, which gained momentum nearly a decade in the past, has lastly hit all-time low and listeners have fully rejected the remixes.
Trivedi says that if the viewers feels that Hindi movie music goes by a complicated section, with just a few authentic albums making their mark, then the rationale may very well be lots, beginning with the general consumption sample of the listeners.
“As far as my understanding is anxious, what I’ve seen and understood over all these years is that from 2016-17 onwards, when the web reached the villages, reached the plenty, issues modified. Everything bought impressed in an enormous, very large manner, be it films or songs.
“Sports is all about numbers—streaming numbers, YouTube numbers. The more numbers, the more money. Content creation also changed in a big way,” shared the musician with indianexpress.com.
Amit Trivedi, the title behind among the most ingenious Bollywood soundtracks from Dev D, Udaan, Bombay Velvet, Lootera to Manmarziyaan, says that the necessity for immediate gratification led the makers to take the simple route of remixes that labored with the viewers. – At least initially.

So how do you instantly make noise about an upcoming film? The easiest method was to offer them a considerably extra acquainted, remixed model of a profitable monitor as a result of it is simpler for the viewers to pay money for.
“We started from the point where the remixes were at their peak. Initially the audience also liked it, they grabbed it. The reason for encouraging labels and producers to make more remixes was because the audience enjoyed it,” he provides. Musicians recall how a reimagined model of Chartbuster darkish glasses It was one of many largest hits of the preliminary section of the pattern.

“There were audience reactions, where people said that the film was ‘wahiyaat’ (terrible), and they came only for Kaala Chashma which came in the end! So the audience liked the idea of the remix which the makers understood.”
But what went unsuitable, mentioned Amit Trivedi, when nearly each different Bollywood movie began counting on remixes. What was as soon as distinctive, quickly began haunting the listeners, however the makers by no means took discover.
“They entered this world and did a lot, a lot in order that… now we have this behavior of herd mentality. Whatever works, we observe it to such an extent that it perishes. Usko pura nichod dete hai (We completely suck the enjoyment of it). That’s what occurred right here (with the remix).
“We did it an excessive amount of, went overboard with it and now it is over. In 2022, remixes are nearly useless. Now the viewers is fed up with it too. The viewers has clearly mentioned that they favored it , But itna bhi mat pheko humpe ki hume bhi ghinn ho jaaye (Don’t drop it a lot in our throats that we get sick of it),” he provides.
Amit Trivedi is now awaiting the discharge of filmmaker R Balki’s thriller Chup, by which he has composed two songs – “Gaya Gaya” and “Gaya Gaya”.Mera Love Mein“. The lyrics have been penned by his longtime collaborator Swanand Kirkire.
