New music composers in the industry either win the favour of cinephiles and critics, or face brickbats. Tanishk Bagchi, however, faced an unusual predicament during his early years in Bollywood — he found favour in cinephiles, and faced the brickbats of critics. The Humma song, one of his first remixes, became a chartbuster in no time, and paved the way for a fresh trend in the industry. Bagchi’s scores became hot favourites among music consumers, a development that sat well with label heads, but not with composers of the original ditties that Bagchi was revisiting.
“I wasn’t the first one,” Bagchi tells mid-day in a candid chat. “Amit Trivedi did it with Hungama ho gaya, and Vishal-Shekhar with Bachna ae haseeno. When I started doing it, people questioned me. So, I decided that if I created two remixes, I’d make two original tracks as well. If I made Humma humma, I made Akh lad jaave too. If I was at the top due to my remixes, I was also at the top because of my original songs.”
