What is common between Dev.D , Wake Up Sid, Admissions Open, Aisha and Udaan? Answer:
The man behind the music of the above films launched his career just a couple of years ago with Aamir(film) and he is already my favorite - Amit Trivedi. It started with the strangely unique but arresting "emosional atyachaar" and he has delivered hit after hit which include Wake up Sid's mesmerizing Iktara voted as 2009's listener's choice best song of the year.
His sounds are unique, youthful, rocke-ish, accompanied with some great arrangements in such a way that most instruments he uses seem so clearly heard and even more cleverly introduced into a sequence. His music is definitely something you won't classify as filmy although he did go a little mainstream with Aisha at the expense of sounding like Vishal-Shekhar but even in Aisha, he had his usual trademarks when the music soared with the melancholic Lehrein and the soothing vocals of Anusha Mani. One has also got to listen to low key films like Admissions Open , especially the songs Meri Rooh and Roshini. My current favorite is Udaan, an admirable movie with a thoroughly enchanting score. From the rock dominated Kahaani, folk rock in Naav, sitar and harmonica interspersed within rock elements in Aazadiayan and finally ending with the poignant piano based theme, Amit Trivedi delivers the perfect note to capture the mood of the film.
3-4 movies in the pipeline. Really looking forward to some more of his work. Awesome, keep it up Amit Trivedi.
