Summary
- Lyricist Sameer criticizes Bollywood's current music trends.
- He argues old songs are misused and new music lacks creativity.
- Sameer believes industry leaders have abandoned quality music.
Veteran lyricist Sameer has strongly criticized the current music scene in Bollywood, lamenting a perceived decline in quality and originality. He noted that while older songs continue to resonate, contemporary music producers are not achieving similar success despite relying on younger talent.
Sameer highlighted a trend where new artists are favored over established composers like Anu Malik and Anand-Milind, questioning the success of this approach. He believes this has led to monotony, citing Arijit Singh's alleged frustration with repetitive sounds. The lyricist expressed dismay over the misuse of songs in recent films, such as the background placement of "Jumma Chumma" in Chauhaan and the recreation of his song "Hum Pyaar Karne Waale" in Dhurandhar The Revenge, where it was overshadowed by action.
He further lamented that top production houses, previously known for championing good music, have also seemingly shifted their focus. Sameer expressed that current practices are detrimental to Bollywood music's future, with music director Nadeem Saifi also suggesting a wait-and-watch approach until these trends fade.
