As Tum Bin clocks 20 years, composer duo Nikhil-Vinay on the making of the romance saga’s soundtrack that found admirers in abundance

Nikhil-Vinay
As Anubhav Sinha’s 2001 offering Tum Bin clocks 20 years this month, one half of composer duo Nikhil-Vinay say the revered 12-track album of the film was among the defining ones of their career. The recipe for crafting a sore that appealed to the younger generation, they say, was to employ electronic music, and stray from employing too many Indian tunes.
“We knew the songs couldn’t sound very traditional. If you listen to the tracks, you’ll notice that they don’t have the tabla or dholak. They have a groove. In fact, even if we used Indian music, the rhythm was westernised,” says Nikhil Kamath.
