Baadshah, Raftaar, and Guru Randhawa followed. Its success sparked off the meteoric rise of Honey Singh and Punjabi pop in Hindi cinema. Besides Johar’s success with selling a film with a remix, 2012 saw the inclusion of Yo Yo Honey Singh’s non-film single Angreji Beat in the soundtrack of Cocktail. Year zero is 2012, when two key trends that defined Hindi film music in this decade kicked off. The trend has been a reaction to the megabucks success of how Dharma Productions has been selling its films with recreated classics since 2012, following which music companies, especially T-Series, got the drift. Somehow, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan was big this year. There’s a reworking of Panjabi MC’s Mundiyan in Baaghi 2 and two renditions of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s Dekhte Dekhte in Batti Gul Meter Chalu.
Dilbar Dilbar from Satyameva Jayate has been in the top-10 all-genre iTunes India chart since August. In 2018, the chart-topping remixes include Tanishk Bagchi’s reworking of two Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan songs for Raid – Sanu Ek Pal and Nit Khair Manga. The remix train chugged along with tracks such as Tamma Tamma Again from Badrinath Ki Dulhania, Tu Cheez Badi from Machine (which also had the less-popular remix of Ek Chatur Naar from Padosan), Ishq Tera Tadpave from Hindi Medium, Hawa Hawa from Mubarakan, Mere Rashke Qamar from Baadshaho and Neeend Churai Meri from Golmaal Again. The avalanche began in January itself when The Humma Song ( Ok Jaanu), Laila ( Raees) and Haseeno Ka Deewana ( Kaabil) were jostling to be at the top of Bollywood music charts. In comparison, 2018 had fewer remixes, although the possible success of Aankh Marey and Simmba might turn the clock back again.įive films from the top 10 highest-grossing productions in 2017 had remixes. Number crunching tells us that 2017 was the biggest year for this trend, with a staggering 30 re-worked versions of classic tracks. Play The Disco Song, Student of the Year. It added to the timelessness of the original iconic hookline, first heard in Nazia Haasan’s voice in 1981, but has also spawned an era of remixes, recreations, covers and what have you in Hindi film soundtracks. The culprit is The Disco Song from Johar’s 2012 film Student of the Year – again, a Vishal-Shekhar product. The credit for the science behind marketing a film through a well-packaged video for a recreated old song goes to Johar. The template was repeated by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy for Dhanno ( Apni Toh Jaise Taise from Laawaris, 1981) from Sajid Khan’s Housefull (2010). This new form, in which the original composition is sliced and diced and re-recorded with new voices, evolved from the non-film remixes introduced by Instant Karma in the late 1990s and a multitude of DJs in the early-2000s. This set the template for future remixes: retain the hookline or the mukhda and add new verses or antaras. The rest of the song comprised fresh verses sung by Sumeet Kumar, the son of the original singer Kishore Kumar, and rap by Dadlani. Composers Vishal-Shekhar used the opening trumpet tune and the iconic hookline of the RD Burman composition from Nasir Hussain’s Hum Kisise Kum Naheen (1977). One of the first Hindi film hits that was a retooled version of an old song in the way in which it is understood today was the title track of Siddharth Anand’s Bachna Ae Haseeno (2008). But it took almost a decade for them to seep into Hindi film soundtracks. Remixes of hit tunes boomed in the late late 1990s and early 2000s through non-film dance and remix albums.
