DIL Chahta Hai Soundtrack - Jayson Beaster-Jones - Bog

"Dil Chahta Hai (2001) had possibly the first rock soundtrack in Bollywood. It transformed the sound and production practices of Bollywood cinema, as shown by reviews from music critics and fans, industry interviews, and close analysis of the film and its music. These songs emerged from writing trio Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy. The popularity of their collaborative compositional approach reveals the changing tastes of India's urban youth audiences and the rise of the rock star narrative in Hindi films. This award-winning soundtrack is an entry point into Bollywood film songs, Hindi language music, and the Indi-pop movement of the '80s and '90s"--
