Amit Trivedi remembers making music for Lootera
Lootera completes 10 years today. The period drama starring Ranveer Singh and Sonakshi Sinha in the leading roles continues to be remembered as one of the best in Indian cinema. An out-and-out romantic drama, Lootera has everything, from great music to intelligent storytelling, polished direction and more. In fact, music was one of the highest selling points of the film. Amit Trivedi and Amitabh Bhattacharya lent the music as they composed six songs in total for the film.
Lootera's music is one for all ages
The songs include “Sawaar Loon”, “Ankahee”, “Shikayatein”, “Monta Re”, “Zinda” and “Manmarziyan”. In addition to Amit Trivedi and Amitabh Bhattacharya, the film has songs by Shilpa Rao, Monali Thakur, K Mohan and Swanand Kirkire.
As Lootera’s album continues to enjoy fandom ten years after the film’s release, Amit Trivedi spoke to WION about the creative genius that Lootera is. The singer got nostalgic about creating music for this beautiful album.Remembering fondly about his time working on Lootera’s songs, Amit Trivedi said, “Time truly flies and it doesn’t feel like it’s been ten years since we made music for this film. Lootera is such a special album for me in so many ways. It’s old school and soul-stirring, probably which is why so many people could resonate with the film’s music.”
