2011 Mid-year Bollywood music report card : Bollywood News

Sajid-Wajid (No releases)

Wow - N/A

Hmmm....okay - N/A

Not happening - N/A

Whats in store this year - Chatur Singh Two Star, Chala Mussaddi - Office Office

What say?

For the composers who gave two of the best soundtracks last year in the form of Dabangg and Veer, Sajid-Wajid have been rather quiet right through 2011. With no releases so far and Chatur Singh Two Star (a delayed release) and Chala Mussaddi - Office Office (situational) being their only soundtracks lines up before end of year, Sajid-Wajid are expected to end the year on an inconsequential note. However they are expected to have reserved their best with half a dozen biggies lined up for 2012.

Ram Sampat

Wow - Delhi Belly

At the beginning of the year, if at all someone would have remarked that the biggest single chartbuster at the half way mark would be delivered by a man called Ram Sampat, the common reaction would have been - Bhaag.... ^&$%^. However the unthinkable has happened with this relatively new composer (remembered most for his infamous battle with Rakesh Roshan) has created a nation wide frenzy with Bhaag DK Bose.

Hmmm....okay - None

Not happening - Luv Ka The End

This is the reason why even though he is the same man who created a forgettable soundtrack in Luv Ka The End, one remembers him now for Delhi Belly. His Tonight from the film still reverberates but rest of the soundtrack hardly worked. Moreover, it just didnt reach the audience with even the so-called potential chartbuster Mutton biting the dust.

Whats in store this year - None

What say?

For the remainder of the year, Sampat is expected to be quiet since all biggies have already been taken away by other composers. However, 2011 could well be Sampats busiest year till date of his career as many in the industry are already compelling him to make yet an other DK Bose for them. Would he agree? Lets see!

In addition

In addition there were other composers as well who made a mark musically. Though the music here didnt quite achieve chartbuster status, there was enough in store to make one look forward to what these composers have to offer in films to come:

- Harshit Saxena, Sangeet & Siddharth Haldipur, Mithoon (Murder 2)

- Amit Trivedi (No One Killed Jessica, Chillar Party)

- Clinton Cerejo, Hitesh Soni, Luv Ranjan, Ad Boys (Pyaar Ka Punchnama)

- Nishat Khan (Yeh Saali Zindagi)

- Chirantan Bhatt (Haunted)

- Prashant Pillai, Ranjit Barot, Amar Mohile, Anupam Roy (Shaitan)
