Singer's Fear: Recreating 'Ramba Ho' for Film
10 Mar
Summary
- Singer Madhubanti Bagchi feared underperforming on 'Ramba Ho'.
- The iconic song was recreated for a high-intensity gunfight scene.
- Bagchi discussed music direction's role in film album success.
Singer Madhubanti Bagchi recently shared her apprehension about recording the reimagined 'Ramba Ho' for the film Dhurandhar. Bagchi admitted she was "extremely scared of underperforming" due to the original song's iconic legacy, sung by Usha Uthup. The track was placed unconventionally within a gunfight sequence, adding to her initial nervousness.
Bagchi's eventual comfort stemmed from seeing the visuals and director Aditya Dhar's unique instruction to perform it fitting for a gunfight. She also highlighted the importance of strong, singular creative direction from film leadership, like that of Aditya Dhar and Shashwat, in achieving successful and resonant film music albums. She noted that a lack of clear direction often leads to album failures.
The discussion occurred during the Women In Music Roundtable 2026, where Bagchi and other female artists, including Lisa Mishra and Kausar Munir, shared their industry experiences and challenges.
