Page 3 Fame Shamir Tandon Talks About The Paradigm Shift In Hindi Film Music: “Now, Films Have Fewer Songs & There’s No Lip-Synching”

For someone who has worked with the likes of Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhosle, Manna Dey, Jagjit Singh and has contributed to the soundtracks of popular movies including ‘Page 3’, ‘The Body’ and the recently released Nawazuddin Siddiqui-Bhumi Pednekar starrer ‘Afwaah’, the paradigm shift in Hindi film music is hard to ignore. here’s what Shamir Tandon has to say.

Music composer Shamir Tandon points out, “Now, films have fewer songs and there is no lip-synching. In fact, some films are songless. There are not many situations that warrant a music number. The duration of songs has been reduced too. It may appear for a few seconds and then fade out, unlike the past when multiple ‘antras’ would play.”

Shamir Tandon, who has worked with Sudhir Mishra in the past too, tells IANS that it is always a pleasure associating with the latter as he has a clear vision and does not stick to tried-and-true concepts, but in fact, prefers novelty. “He is not someone interested in crafting commercial cinema that follows the norms and has made multiple groundbreaking movies. His clarity and the style in which he communicates it only add to the experience.”
