Vasu Dixit is the Music Composer for our film & is also the front man of a folk/Rock band called Swarathma . This is his first film as a Music Composer and has really given the listeners a treat with his array of songs of different genres & styles and had the complete freedom from the director to go all out and create a new vibe with the Bengaloored Album.

Unlike other films the songs for this one was recorded after the shooting and the editing was complete. When the director Swaroop Kanchi & Vasu Dixit got together for the first time to create the music. They knew they had something special going on musically.

The first song “Ell hogali Shivane” lyrics was penned by the director & Vasu within less than 2 hours on a busy day in Swaroop’s office, what started as an experiment on that day had the rest of the people amazed when the impromptu jamming quickly turned into the First track of the film. The Indian drum that is used in that song was actually bought from an Old Shiva Temple in Bangalore. Vasu has done the Vocals himself.

“Rang Mahal” is a song penned by the famous Indian poet-Saint Kabir Das, it’s a beautiful song written by the saint full of rebellion, love and wisdom. He taunts people asking why they wander searching for God everywhere when he lies in their own hearts. It’s a folk song in Malawi, which is a dialect of Hindi. What’s interesting is the use of ik tara-an Old Indian String Instrument used in the song- The instrument was once a favourite of poet-saints in Maharashtra and was lost to history but bringing it back with this song is a joy and it adds a very folk feel to the song. Vasu Dixit again croons & bring Kabir’s words back to life with his soulful rendition.

“Baawara” was the song to be finalized last and it appears at the end of the film. The song describes the mood of the protagonist and & the entire film. But somehow this was the song that was hardest to compose, as the director just did not appear to like whatever the composer and programmer Abhilash Lakra came up with. They tried to make it a Rock song, and then they tried to make it seem more traditionally Indian But only after many permutation & combinations finally the song was made and it quickly became the favourite song of the composer & the director.  It’s a track that slowly creeps into the system but once the listener is tuned he’s hooked on to it & haunted by the tune.

“Neel Nadi” written by Imran choudhry, it’s a song between a Mother & her son. In this case the mother is no more but her heart still weeps for her son who is finding his life incomplete without her. She sings that everything in Nature is his mother, the breeze that soothes him while he’s feeling hot is caring for him like his mother, the first rain drops that moisten the earthy & bring joy is also his mother, so metaphorically she’s saying that mother nature still cares for him and existence itself is mothering him. The beauty of the penned lyrics will be lost in translation so it’s better to listen. Ritisha Padmanabh has the done lead vocals matched equally with melodious flute and strings.

“Pal Pal” seemed like a disaster from day one. The lyrics were penned by vasu & director in a car within 2 hours. It was an experiment, a big leap for vasu Dixit, front man of band “swarathma” who has never composed a song this way. It’s a combination of Hip-Hop , Bhangra & Pop. The rapper who was bought in for recording just could not get his tempo right, he had the right accent & got hold of the texture and the groove but just could not get it right, so after a few hours Joel Dubba who sang “Piya tori Naina” stepped in and gave the perfect take & the hip-hope bits were recorded. Another singer who came to record another song for the album somehow also had a bad day and left without even trying to record as she didn’t feel she could hit the notes that Vasu had composed. But somehow when Vasu got to know that she’s Punjabi, he coaxed her to translate a bit of the lyrics in Punjabi and thus we got our bhangra beats for the song.

“Piya tori Naina” is one of the favorite songs for most who have previewed the album. Penned by Swaroop Kanchi with additional lyrics from Joel Dubba, the song was composed keeping in mind a scene in the film where the lead actors ride on the bike and play around in an open field. It’s the only romantic track in the film. The mouth organ is used in the song and gives a great texture to the song adding a certain sense of romance. Though it’s a romantic song & the hero keeps confessing his love to the beloved, the lyrics are written in such a way that she says she understands what he feels like but stops short of confessing her love in return in a very tactful manner. Watching the movie will shed more light on the meaning of her words in the song. Joel Dubba & Ritisha Padmanabh have done the lead vocals for this song.

Overall the composition of the album took over two months in a far away suburb in Bangalore, The director & the Music Director worked during the nights & often slept on the carpet in the studio after working on a session till early hours in the morning. The director would then head to another studio to re-record (dub) the vocals with his actors and would return in the evening to continue the composition. The crazy hours of work & wandering seems to have paid off with the initial good reviews the movie & its music seem to be getting.
