This year also saw old hands Shantanu Moitra and Sandesh Shandilya creating some nice music for October and Daas Dev respectively. Just when you thought Punjabi hip-hop and EDM in Hindi films would make you reach for sleeping pills, the album showed how it was done, creating one of the year’s best earworms, Tareefan. The best multi-composer soundtrack was for Veere Di Wedding. While Trivedi had Manmarziyaan, none of Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy’s three soundtracks did justice to their talent, although Raazi had a couple of good songs.
The multi-composer soundtrack for Jalebi had some lovely, if old-fashioned, music.Īmong the more experienced composers, only Trivedi and Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy had soundtracks this year. Unsurprisingly, films with a strong romantic core had the best soundtracks: Laila Majnu ( Niladri Kumar, Joi Barua, Alif) and Manmarziyaan (Amit Trivedi). We got decent songs from films that weren’t song-driven, which shows that filmmakers still actively look for solid tunes in the era of the remix. He either sang most of this year’s hits or the best compositions in each soundtrack. Once again, Arijit Singh stood tall as the best playback singer. Amit Trivedi dropped nine soundtracks this year, and that sentence does not have the ring to it as it did five years ago.
