Aamir Khan is right that people today "watch" a song and the practice of listening to a song first without visuals is gone. The thrill of removing plastic wrapper off a cassette, putting on A side and listening to the first song will be difficult to explain to today's generation.

This song just does not leave my playlist. “Thode Kam Ajnabi” from Pagglait. Arijit has weaved just a delicate melody. Neelesh Misra’s lyrics are so insightful.

Arijit Singh in his composing debut #Pagglait , pays tribute to his mentor @arrahman by incorporating his sound and to @ipritamofficial by composing multiple versions ( reprises) of a song. Really like the album.

I give kudos to Aamir to promote the film album (along with the composer, lyricist and singers) so well. Music albums have kind of become an afterthought for most films. This brings back the magic of old times.

A lot has been said about Pancham not getting enough work in his latter days. But the same is happening today to Anand Raj Anand, Salim Sulaiman, Sandesh Shandilya, Ram Sampath, Anu Malik and many other composers. This was true even in earlier times I think.

#Malaal is a good album. Zara Suno ( could fit on Barfi album) is an absolute gem. Nadh Khula and उधळ हो are other good songs. After the over punjabification of Bollywood lyrics, the Marathi influence is a breath of fresh air.
