It was one of the biggest years music wise in Bollywood, what with Om Shanti Om, Partner, and The Train. Now, 2008 looks like to be an even bigger and more successful year. All your top composers will be out to play, and each one has a sensational soundtrack or two to hand. Here, in this 2008 special, we look forward to what the music directors have in-store for us, and which singer could be making another impact.
2007 belonged to Pritam, who had a handful of super-hit soundtracks. For 2008, the maestro has even more planned. Race, Kidnap, Kutty Chetan, Jannat, and Fauj Mein Mauj. Not forgetting the already released, and receiving rave reviews, My Name Is Anthony Gonsalves.
Aap Ka Surroor was regarded as a sensational album, and now eager ears are looking forward with delight to Karzzz. Not sure if Himesh will be able to create the same hoo-ha as the music of the original did, but one thing is for sure, Reshammiya will sure set-fire again. The musician-turned-actor also has Mr. Fraud in the pipeline.
For many a year Anu Malik was regarded as the most reliable composer in the industry, however his recent lack of hit scores have tarnished that tag. 2008 he is back with a bang, with multiple projects planned. Victory, Tere Sang, Kambakht Ishq, Love Story 2050, Mission Istanbul, Woodstock Villa, Ugly Aur Pagli, and Maan Gaye Mughal0e-Azam, to name a few. Not only that, but Anu Malik’s off-spring Anmol Anu Malik will be singing six songs for Tere Sang.
Om Shanti Om duo Vishal and Shekhar, Taare Zameen Par’s Shankar Ehsaan Loy, veteran pop-ster Bappi Lahiri, going solo Lalit Pandit (of Jatin-Lalit fame), and ever-reliable Rajesh Roshan, will all be around in 2008.
Singing-wise we will be hearing more of those Pakistani voices, M Ali and Kami of Suroor band are two. Zubeen Garg and KK are to be featured on many soundtracks, and of course the fantastic four, Sunidhi Chauhan, Sonu Nigam, Udit Narayan, and Alka Yagnik.
That’s 2008 for you, playback music wise… what are your thoughts on this coming year and the music it will bring. Do you believe we will get to hear even better tunes than what we heard in 2008, or does the list above look a little bleak for you? Leave your views and thoughts and in the comments section below.
