Abhijit Vaghani blends the romantic classics Dil Hai Ki Manta Nahin & Nazar Ke Samne together…

Jul 23, 2021 by Rekha Nair 0 Comments #Abhijit Vaghani, #Bhushan Kumar, #Shilpa Rao, #T-Series

The somber and soulful Shilpa Rao teams up with new-age sensation Yasser Desai for the 3rd season of Bhushan Kumar’s T-Series’ Mixtape Rewind, presented by Amazon Prime Music. The artists step into the legendary singers Kumar Sanu and Anuradha Paudwal’s shoes for their rendition of ‘Dil Hai Ki Manta Nahin’ and ‘Nazar Ke Samne’, penned originally by Sameer.

Abhijit Vaghani entwines the classic love songs together that pay tribute to the romantic era of the ’90s and early 2000’s, while director Ahmed Khan sets the ambiance on sets for the nostalgic mood. Shilpa Rao’s and Yasser Desai’s rendition of ‘Dil Hai Ki Manta Nahin’ and ‘Nazar Ke Samne’ retains the original melodies of guitars, tabla and dholak, however, the magical touch of sarod provides those additional tugs at the heartstrings.

The new season will be available exclusively first on Amazon Prime Music for Prime members to enjoy an ad-free and hands-free voice enabled experience with Alexa.

Says Bhushan Kumar, “‘Dil Hai Ki Manta Nahin and Nazar Ke Samne are among the all-time classics when it comes to romance and nostalgia, which is this season’s theme. It was perfect to have Shilpa Rao and Yasser Desai sing them and add new soul to these timeless songs. Abhijit Vaghani has a distinct ear and understands blends, tunes and beats like no other. Audiences are sure to enjoy this episode of T-Series MixTape Rewind.”

Speaking about blending ‘Dil Hai Ki Manta Nahin’ and ‘Nazar Ke Samne’, music composer Abhijit Vaghani says, “I was looking at two major hits that made a lot of sense together with their lyrics, scales, etc. After a long time we found Nazar Ke Samne for Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahin, I really wanted this song because it was one of my favourites too! I chose the sarod and the piano because its always nice to have a fusion of Western and Indian instrument. We have always done that in Mixtape, their frequencies are very different and it matched with the context of the songs like ‘Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahin’ has a special line which is like a musical signature so those demanded either a Sitar or a Sarod, so I chose the Sarod and it sounded good with that fusion of the piano. We have wanted Shilpa on Mixtape for a long time and with her basey and hollow voice, Yasser’s voice was just perfect. I am happy that he was on board; he is a great singer too. He just made the track bloom out with the way Shilpa sang it as well”

Speaking about being a part of Mixtape for the first time, Shilpa Rao says, “This is my first appearance on T-Series Mixtape and I’m quite excited about it. It was great to reminisce songs from Aashiqui movie, whose album has been the biggest landmark album of the 90’s music. It is my first collaboration with singer Yasser Desai and loved singing and shooting with him. The whole team, Ahmed Khan Sir, Bhushan Ji and T-Series team to everyone involved, it was a blast and I really hope that the song make it to the heart of our listeners as much it did in our hearts.”

Excited to be a part of Mixtape Rewind Yasser Desai comments, “This is my first time on T-Series Mixtape and it feels great to be a part of it. I will be singing two of my favorite songs from 90s which remains to be my favorite era – I’ve grown up listening to the 90s music. I’ve remained a fan of Shilpa Rao’ texture since her song Ik Lau from Aamir so it was legit a dream come true on sharing stage with her. I am really grateful to the whole team at T-Series for making me a part of this. Abhijit bhai is ofcourse like an elder brother, he is immensely talented and it was a pleasure working with him.”

A filmy love story of Rajkummar Rao & Fatima Sana Shaikh in Ludo’s released sweet, upbeat love song Hardum Humdam!

Nov 4, 2020 by Gouri Achary 0 Comments #Anurag Basu, #Bhushan Kumar, #Fatima Sana Shaikh, #Hardum Humdam, #love story, #Ludo, #Rajkummar Rao, #T-Series

With Ludo, the dream team of director Anurag Basu, producer Bhushan Kumar and composer Pritam introduce audiences to fresh new music that binds together the four compelling stories and its characters. The multi-starrer comic crime caper that is a tale about the unavoidable jeopardies of life is filled with edginess and intensity but also comedy and love.

After the catchy love song ‘Aabaad Barbaad’ in the voice of Arijit Singh that took viewers on a crazy love ride, comes Anurag Basu’s fresh, sweet track titled ‘Hardum Humdam’ that was released on the weekend.

The contemporary love song composed by Pritam, sung by Arijit Singh and written by Sayeed Quadri, beautifully captures the fun essence of Ludo’s storytelling and leaves us in the mystery of the craziness these characters are stuck in in the film. While the lyrics of the song have an old-world charm about them, the visuals and the music are very modern and upbeat.

Calling this song new, fresh and a clutter breaker, director Anurag Basu, says, “The music is extremely important to a film. Before I start writing a script I have a playlist ready. Hardum Humdam is a truly wonderful song, has a meaning in every line and takes the narrative forward. Sometimes when you hear a song over and over you get tired of it, but I fall in love with Humdum each time I hear it. We always say we miss that timeless music and meaningful lyrics, Humdam is all that.”

T-Series head honcho Bhushan Kumar says, “The beauty of Ludo’s music lies in its diversity. The film is intense and edgy with its stories so every song makes the film light and sweet. ‘Hardum Humdam’ shows the innocence of the characters. It’s truly very contemporary that will resonate with everyone.”

The ace music director, Pritam, adds, “The script of Ludo is very edgy with lots of intense emotions. Anurag wanted the songs to be sweet to create a buffer or a musical relief to give the audience a break from the intensity of the film. Hardum Humdum is a very sweet song which is exactly what Anurag wanted like Aabaad Barbaad.”

The song has been incredibly well received by audiences everywhere with fans highly appreciative of the eloquent lyrics. A song that beautifully tells a romantic story, it’s no surprise that this song has soared to success.

The ensemble cast of Ludo includes Rajkummar Rao-Fatima Sana Shaikh, whose love story is as filmy as it could get. Rajkummar, who has an undying love for Fatima, is the poster boy for unrequited love. On the other hand, Fatima is a devoted middle-class housewife who has a spark in her waiting to erupt.

Ludo produced by Bhushan Kumar, Anurag Basu, Divya Khosla Kumar, Taani Somarita Basu & Krishan Kumar, directed by Anurag Basu the film will release on 12th November 2020 on Netflix.
