The music of a film defines the expectations from the film and the music of Dilwale has done just that! . The album has already crossed 10 crores streams and has become the most listened, loved and watched music album of the year 2015.
We here at Bollyspice loved the album by Pritam and gave it a 4 star review.
Rohit Shetty is really happy with the success of the music, “Good things come to those who wait and Dilwale has just been the right wait for all of us. I am very happy with the music response we got so far and hope that people enjoy the songs as much as we loved shooting them. It’s a musical treasure that will be cherished for long. Pritam has done an excellent job!”
Shah Rukh Khan added, “Music is what binds a story & it’s characters. Pritam has given us beautiful melodies along with foot tapping beats, all in one soundtrack. The lyrics written by Amitabh Bhattacharya go handsomely with the music making the songs complete compositions. The success of the music just gives a reaffirmation that the hard work put in into the music has been appreciated.”
Kajol says that Pritam has done a brilliant job on the OST, “Every song has made a mark with the audiences. Such a music album comes once in a while and I feel extremely happy that everyone has welcomed each song with such enthusiasm. Pritam has done a brilliant job as well as Amitabh Bhattacharya who penned such beautiful lyrics for each song.”
Varun Dhawan said, “The music success of any film is always a boost for the film purely because everyone knows how important music is for any film. Wherever I have been recently, I have heard people humming our songs which feels great that music has been loved.”
Kriti Sanon said, “Music is essential in life & everyone appreciates good music. I always had the confidence that Dilwale’s music would be a chartbuster and that’s exactly what it is. The music of every song is different and since the film has two love stories the music for each of them is also very defined and different from one another. I feel very proud to be part of this project.”
Extremely thrilled on the worldwide success Shridhar Subramaniam, President India & Middle East said, “Dilwale has been one of our most prestigious music projects. When we began work we had decided the strategy for this film would be to hit the fans with a single every week in order to capture their mind space and we have been able to achieve the same. Additionally, we wanted to ensure the songs reach out to audiences globally and therefore we released Arabic and Malay versions. We have had a long standing relationship with Pritam and together we have created another music success. We are extremely happy with the overall response to the music and we hope to be working with this winning team again.”
Venky Mysore, CEO, RCE said, “We are delighted that the music of Dilwale has been appreciated world over and on all platforms. The music of Pritam & lyrics by Amitabh Bhattacharya have created a stir which has been further marketed well by Sony Music India with their unique strategy. We hope to give audiences more such music in future too.”
