Summary
- Smmit Jay Desai felt an immediate emotional connection to the film 'Laalo'
- 'Manorath Jeev' track combines traditional and contemporary sounds
- Desai used a disciplined yet spiritual process to create the film's music
In October 2025, Smmit Jay Desai, the music composer of the recently released Gujarati film 'Laalo', opened up about his creative process and emotional connection to the project. Desai immediately felt a strong bond with the film's story, which carries deep devotion, spirituality, and a human message. He knew the music would play a vital role in bridging these emotions with the audience, and he was honored to be part of that journey.
One track that is particularly close to Desai's heart is 'Manorath Jeev', which blends traditional and contemporary sounds. The composer used a disciplined yet spiritual approach, first deeply understanding the script, mood, and character emotions before building the soundscape. He combined classical Indian instruments like flute, tabla, and sitar with modern production techniques to create a devotional yet relatable musical experience.
Desai's efforts have paid off, as the 'Laalo' soundtrack has resonated strongly with audiences. Seeing people connect with the music, singing along, and expressing their emotions through it has been a deeply rewarding experience for the composer. With the film's success, Desai is now working on several upcoming projects in Gujarati cinema and beyond, promising more exciting music to come.
