Ever since Netflix India announced the film on Chamkila, everyone was taken on a ride. The musical trinity of AR Rahman, Irshad Kamil and Imtiaz Ali was again coming together and that too with the voice of Mohit Chauhan.
What can a Bollywood lover ask for more? Probably nothing we assume.
Films like Rockstar, Tamasha, and Highway have that trinity in them and we can’t really forget the musical greatness they possess.
Regardless, the album of Chamkila is like a breath of fresh air to all those lovers of good Bollywood music. Meaningful lyrics, innovative lyrics and good singing, everything is there.
But what is the major miss?
The major miss is Chamkila.
Wait, what?
Yes. Amar Singh Chamkila is the major miss. The singing sensation Chamkila is naturally one of the most important names in the music industry of Punjab. He was not only a stalwart but a name that resonated with everyone who liked raw music. We didn’t really get the songs that Amar Singh Chamkila used to sing in his days. However, there is a high probability that we get to listen to those songs in the film as the currently released album comprises only the original songs of the film “Chamkila”.
Ideally, those songs should have found a place in the overall marketing campaign of the film but they are largely missing as of now. After all, what’s a biopic on Amar Singh Chamkila without his own songs?
Let’s wait for the release on April 12 then.
