As a music enthusiast who has spent countless hours immersed in the rich tapestry of Bollywood tunes, I find myself deeply moved by the ongoing debate surrounding the recognition given to singers versus actors in the realm of iconic tracks.
The key highlight of global sensation Dua Lipa’s concert in Mumbai was her performance of a mashup of her super hit track, Levitating, and the Baazigar song Woh Ladki Jo. While the internet went gaga over it, singer Abhijeet Bhattacharya’s son lashed out over the omission of his father’s contribution and the focus on Shah Rukh Khan’s name. This got me thinking: is it the singer or the actor who truly deserves credit for a super hit track?
It seems reasonable to me that Abhijeet Bhattacharya’s son feels unacknowledged regarding his father’s contributions and Anu Malik’s status as a music composer, especially considering their significant impact on popular music through the harmonious fusion of Bhattacharya’s iconic vocals with Malik’s unique compositions. However, is this situation surprising or unusual in the realm of music appreciation?
Frankly speaking, it’s a harsh reality that an exceptionally gifted vocalist’s impact is frequently eclipsed by the blinding glow of stardom surrounding a superstar. It’s important to remember that every artist, hidden behind the scenes, equally deserves their share of applause. However, let’s be clear, without these superstars, many of the iconic songs we adore today might never have reached the heights they now hold in our hearts and playlists.
The fact that Dua Lipa openly admits to being a fan of Shah Rukh Khan highlights his widespread global popularity, a key factor in him being associated with such hit songs. It’s no surprise that at one point, Abhijeet Bhattacharya and Shah Rukh Khan were seen as the perfect pair due to the enchanting collaborations they produced. Yet, this conversation isn’t confined to these two individuals; it extends to the broader music industry as well.
For example, consider the film Rockstar starring Ranbir Kapoor. This movie boasted an outstanding soundtrack, composed by AR Rahman and sung by Mohit Chauhan, whom we can all acknowledge as legendary. However, it was Ranbir Kapoor’s exceptional performance that ultimately catapulted the project to cult status.
Discussing the memorable instances from Ranbir’s acting career, such as his emotional loss in Kun Faaya Kun scene or his powerful portrayal in Sadda Haqq, it’s evident that he significantly enriched those performances. His contributions to these roles should not be overlooked.
Without a doubt, I believe that the singer, lyricist, composer, and all those working off-camera on a project deserve recognition for their contributions. However, it’s essential to acknowledge that an actor brings a sense of relatability and visual impact that can’t be overlooked. After all, it takes a collaborative effort from everyone involved to create something truly complete and effective.
