ANKIT TIWARI SACHIN JIGAR SNEHA KHANWALKAR
While Ashiqui 2 became a ground-
breaking success Ankit Tiwari emerged
as the ultimate fresh talent; alongwith
the talented Mithoon he created an aura
that transpired throughout the entire
album and rocked the chartbusters
for months. The best part is, this
refreshing talent actually competed
against the veterans like Jeet Ganguly
at the Filmfare awards. Tiwari has
delivered Baaghi, Beiimaan Love, Tum
Bin 2 and Rocky Handsome in 2016. His
range is versatile and varied in many
ways and he keeps bagging awards
with his skills. Remember the prodigal Jatin Lalit
or Vishal Shekar; Sachin Jigar are
rightly succeeding the big names in
the industry in creating a niche for
themselves in the market. Started off
as the musical arrangers for Pritam,
Sachin Jigar is propelling fast with a
career sprinkled with the right amount
of varieties. From Go Goa Gone to
Happy Ending, this musical pair has
tapped in right the peppy as well as
the rosy numbers both alike. And they
certainly taught us how to Shake your
Bootiya. Shot up largely from the alternative
scene, Sneha could unleash herself
largely because of Gangs of Wasseypur.
Her soundscape is astonishingly
variegated
yet
largely
popular
mainly because she grounds herself
to sounds with a resoundingly ethnic
sounding mother board. Besides, she
occasionally resorts to a very original
sounding textured voice, which she
used in songs like Kaala Re and many
more. Sneha is still working with élan
on films like Khoobsurat, Sigh is Bling
and Detective Byomkesh Bakshi.
SUMIT SUVARNA
Today's most promising composers of
the avant-garde Bollywood
Music has been highly transcendental
when it comes to staying in vogue
for a ridiculously prolonged period of
use. Yet, this is not true of many great
composers of Bollywood including the
Burmans and of course the likes of
Rahman. Today music is hip again as
a market but it is extremely difficult
also at the same time to thrive in
longer, with the cut throat competition
posed by the influx of rap artists and
musicians of an alternative genre.
Yet there are young, and promising
composers of Bollywood who are
making the most even out of their
limited scopes.
