MUSICAL EVOLUTION: COMPOSER DHRUV DHALLA, KNOWN FOR 'KHOSLA KA GHOSLA', SHARES NEW MUSIC AND PERSPECTIVE

Dhruv Dhalla, the acclaimed composer behind hits like "Chak De Phatte," is embarking on a new musical journey, marked by selectivity and soulful creations. After making his mark with cult classics like Khosla Ka Ghosla and Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye!, Dhalla found himself trapped in the cycle of recreating past successes for subsequent projects.

However, a pivotal conversation with director Abhishek Sharma reshaped his perspective, emphasizing the importance of quality over quantity in artistic endeavors.

 

 

Since then, Dhalla has adopted a more discerning approach, focusing on ad work and documentary scores to maintain artistic integrity. However, his upcoming project for the Bollywood film "Mr. & Mrs. Mahi" signals a return to the big screen with a captivating song featuring vocals by Kavita Seth and production assistance from Kanishk Seth.

Inspired by Seth's previous collaborations and infused with a Sufi touch, the song caught the attention of Dharma Productions, earning a coveted spot in the film. Dhalla's collaboration with younger talents like Kanishk Seth reflects his willingness to adapt to contemporary musical trends while staying true to his artistic vision.

Reflecting on his journey, Dhalla emphasizes the importance of patience and seizing prestigious opportunities, rather than succumbing to the pressure of constant output. With upcoming projects in the pipeline, including collaborations with director Sanjay Gupta and singer Shibani Kashyap, Dhalla remains committed to his craft while yearning to reconnect with live performances—a facet of his artistic journey he's eager to revisit.

As Dhalla prepares to unveil his latest composition for "Mr. & Mrs. Mahi," audiences can anticipate a harmonious blend of tradition and innovation, showcasing the evolution of a seasoned composer who continues to push the boundaries of Bollywood music.
