Given that he is a ’90s kid, musician Achint Thakkar admits that he had to put in a fair bit of toil to replicate music from the ’60s and ’70s for Rajkummar Rao`s next, Monica O My Darling. Director Vasan Bala did not merely want elements of music of the bygone eras in his film, but asked the musician to create numbers that resembled the decades in their entirety.
“Initially, I thought the brief to include music from the ’70s was for aesthetic purposes alone, but he wanted the songs to be made like they were in those decades. Tracks like Piya tu were templates that he wanted me to follow. For an entire month, all that I did was watch old movies and study the music. I went down a rabbit hole and consumed the works of musicians like RD Burman and SD Burman. So, the soundtrack is substantially influenced by them. The first song that I created for this film was Yeh ik zindagi, and that eventually formed the base for the rest of the songs,” the composer tells mid-day.
