Great to see Amit Trivedi!!! The guy is so underrated!!

[@ppriyanshu11]

yeah,he seemed quite nervous!

[@arrock188]

Not at all. Almost everyone consider him as the future ARR. He's already got a National Award.

[@lifeisbeautiful7331]

Sandy Mufc he is my crush

[@sudarshanpaudel6085]

ya i think is not underrated for me he is 1 and bishal shakhar in the same way

[@barahkaafi]

If he was underrated, he wouldn’t be sitting there. 😂

[@PatelRo9]

Amit Trivedi is a gem, bollywood is lucky to have him.yet so underrated, music of 'lootera' is proof

[@aaditsingh3632]

Ronakk Patel Lootera music is actually to die for ❤️

[@archanajha4458]

Chi....not at all. Lol....

[@aks9350]

Not just lootera.....udaan,Dev d, queen,Kai Po Che,iktara(song),udta punjab and many more!!!

[@vikhyathkamath]

Please let Amit know that there are many people like me who do listen to "Pashmina" even today! Thanks a lot Anupama for this amazing Adda! Easily the best Adda ever!

[@shriyad32]

Vikhyath Kamath I listen to it almost every day.. Still addicted to it

[@sidk8380]

Vikhyath Kamath Ohh i love thee entire album so underrated

[@shriyad32]

Sid K very.. I like the movie itself but I am unable to find its background score.. Its amazing

[@kanchangiri7965]

Am too addictd to pashmina, iktaara and nayan tarse..

[@sneha9271]

Vikhyath Kamath, Pashmina is my escape.

[@AbdulAziz-gp9hu]

Amit Trivedi is a genius. An interview with him and Ar Rehman please.

[@archanajha4458]

Not at all. Lol....ARR himself is lost guy and nowhere he is standing bright now. Chi....lost in the waves. Mr.Ilayaraja is one real music director originally standing No.1 in Asia and most under rated.

[@sakthis357]

@@archanajha4458 u know nothing about music. ARR beyond ur taste. Pls fuck off

[@TheProtagonist555]

Archana Jha Ilayaraja fans are shit.. they shit about Ilayaraja a lot..

[@Jangamrakesh]

Archana Jha then ur on a different zone

[@piyushbhardwaj2531]

We would really love to see Singers ADDA now! KK, Sonu Nigam, Shaan, Mohit Chauhan, Sukhwinder Singh, Arijit Singh, Armaan Malik etc

[@KahaniPulaao]

Amit's music speaks for him...period...

[@kalpnasharma1929]

Why people write "period" at the end of sentence????????

[@shashishekhar----]

@@kalpnasharma1929 Period means full stop in US, it itensifies the meaning of the sentence.

[@aswadali5896]

Amit Trivedi so young not much experience but he's a legend .!! Most Underrated

[@puneeth1551]

Not so much. Shekhar and Amit both are of same age.

[@joconde87]

The music nerd in me just died and went to heaven! Thanks for letting this conversation breathe and take its time. The grouphug was strong with this one! :)

[@FilmCompanion]

Thanks Joconde - I agree the group hug was strong!! There was a genuine camaraderie in the room! ~Anupama Chopra

[@truthseekeralways7050]

GOD Bless These Guy Musicians ❤️👍🏼

[@adityarathi3033]

With all due respect, It's just the simplicity and humbleness of Amit trivedi, which makes him look like less of a composer amongst these guys. No doubt all of them are great Composers and I love all of their work but Amit trivedi stands out even amongst them. This interview clearly doesn't depict that, but that's the reality. He may be less experienced in his tenure compared to others, but much more vibrant with an amazing caliber! Love You AT! :)

[@thakuromkar2004]

I lovee thiss comment...its perfect AT IS A LEGEND

[@Musiconly5934]

Shankar Ehsaan Loy has made songs which will remain forever..Countless amazing songs..

[@preparationwithashu4666]

"Emotional turmoil is the fodder for great music." 💯

[@varshaphulwani6638]

thank you thank you thank you for bringing AMIT TRIVEDI... please do a solo interview with him too!

[@viplavksmusic]

Ehsaan is legendary in terms of music

[@fuckeduproadie]

Hey Amit! We love music of Bombay Velvet.

[@pratikpashte290]

We want more videos like this with music directors Like With Ajay Atul, Rahman, Mithoon....

[@collinsenosh]

the music directors are the most exciting and glamorous people in the country.

[@archanajha4458]

Not at all. These guys are all copy cats. The interviewer lady has no knowledge on what she is talking.

[@riddhimaraj549]

​@@archanajha4458 then please go and intervier them yourself... she's a professional and if you think you're better then tell where thry copy from...

[@amitj4000]

my favourite Amit Trivedi... love his music

[@vvrajan72]

These discussions are epic... so amazing to see the best musicians in the industry talk about stuff and making magic with music... just love it... please can you have one with the lyricists like Gulzaar saab, Javed saab, Prasoon joshi, swanand kirkire, amitabh bhattacharya etc... would be great and collaborative... need more like these ones Anupama... Loved this show... OMG... such a bonding between the musicians and the best part was each piking up their favorites from each others list of films... Who does that? cheers

[@FilmCompanion]

Thanks for the suggestions. Noted. :)

[@Uran.Khatola]

Oh, Amitabh Bhattacharya is a genius!

[@nafiszami]

*Irshad Kamil

[@shameemakhtar1375]

If I say I am a fan of Vishal Shekhar, Shankar Ehsaan Loy or Amit Trivedi, it would be an understatement. They are simply brilliant. Thank you for creating music.

[@sandykhp]

The genius of amit trivedi is such that he composed a jingle for OLX. I heard it for the first time and instantly fell in love with it. Thats the only jingle on my ipod.

[@jayajain8882]

Then what about hunny bunny , Vivo ipl theme and many more . This guy is insane

[@djshelin]

i just wanna say this 'THANK YOU SO MUCH' ...

[@FilmCompanion]

You're very welcome. :)

[@atreyibhattacharjee9181]

They are all so crazy talented it hurts. And Shekhar, why so attractive????

Thanks for the generous words! :)

[@BhavnaUnleashed]

Same here 😍

[@kaushiksriram4470]

Came here for Amit Trivedi!!❤️ Nd It's soo interesting to listen what really goes in their head in the process of composing!! And I'm glad they mentioned pashmina!! Such a beautiful song it is! 😍😍

[@akshayp9588]

This was so lovely to watch

[@FilmCompanion]

Glad you liked it Akshay!

[@MentalSrikanto]

This was amazing! More interviews with musicians please!

[@donhitarth]

Great ! Amit Trivedi 😍❤

[@faizanadib06]

One round table with 1.Amitabh Bhattacharya 2.Irshad kamil 3.Gulzar sahab 4.Javed Akhtar And some more lyricists please🙏

[@limayesus]

I wish they would talk more about creating background scores and their approach to music production than just songs. Amit Trivedi was the only one to at least mention that he produces his own music. Great chat though!

[@srinjoybhattacharya7459]

Susmit Limaye Shankar Ehsaan Loy produce their own songs too

[@SATYAMPARKHE]

I wished the same

[@iamarshad]

Amit Trivedi

[@BharathManjesh]

This was easily one of the best interviews so far. It wasn't promotional in nature, so no one looked rundown. Everyone spoke well with lots of funny and interesting anecdotes. More of this kind please! :)

[@FilmCompanion]

Stay tuned for a lot more Bharath. Thanks for your kind words. :)

[@rjaadeez5840]

Vishal shekhar's DIL DIYAN GALLAN ❤️ Amit trivedi's QAAFIRANA ❤️ Shankar Ehsaan Loy - SAJDE ❤️ MILESTONES 🔥🔥🔥

[@niti2954]

I have watched the entire episode 3 times and each time, I think its Film Companion's best. Please do one with lyricists as well. And one solo with Amit Trivedi.

[@BhavnaUnleashed]

My fourth time watching right now ❤ it gets better and better

[@deets1250]

Happy to see Amit Trivedi 😊

[@rdbtumpy]

How I wished that the discussion didn't end...It was so much fun yet had depth.. These guys are awesome..Please make a part 2 of the same and rope in Sneha Khanwalker to the bandwagon... Rocking!!

[@FilmCompanion]

Thanks for the kind words Arnab! :)

[@rdbtumpy]

My Pleasure

[@avikpram]

Please do one with the lyricists. Just like writers, one of the most underrated and invisible people in the industry. Get Amitabh, Varun Grover, Irshad Kamil. And maybe, just maybe, if you can.... get Gulzar-saab. it will be mind-blowing....

[@truthseekeralways7050]

Javed Akhtar and Sameer Too❤️👍🏼

[@Sreeragxyz]

Ehsaan's Goa story reminded me of this interview with RGV where he remembers having taken Rahman to Goa, hoping for some great tunes but Rahman just ended up watching TV in his hotel room with nothing else to show for😂 Directors should stop sending their composers to Goa 😂

[@malikasharma900]

This video proved that amit trivedi is so so kind. I dont know why but his expression at 10:47 seemed so genuine and tbh cute. He is genuinely interested in listening to everyone. Truly admired this video!

[@anirbaandas7750]

You guys are churning out some absolutely brilliant content. Going beyond the generic industry stuff and bringing out the human aspect in it. More power to Film Companion, looking forward to many more such videos!

[@FilmCompanion]

That's really encouraging to hear, Anirbaan! We hope to do even better. Please support us by telling more people about our work.

[@randeepsingh3516]

Alone Still the Best , Amit Trivedi. He's simply the best musician of this generation. And may become the greatest of all time just love his each and every work it's phenomenal ❤️

[@limayesus]

It's unfortunate that in India whenever the topic of film music comes up people only think of songs. The ones doing the crucial work of background scores remain unsung and never get their due. You should do a roundtable of say for example Julius Packiam, Sanjoy Chowdhary, Amar Mohile and Tubby and Parik.

[@rvunited1524]

absolutely.... even sandeep chowta, (satya's bgm had an additional effect on the record) mikey mcleary,

[@mshafeers]

But its different in malayalam industry Here the bgms are heavily appluaded!

[@archanajha4458]

The only originally music composer is Mr.ilayaraja, who is dad of ARR. Lol....ARR worked under him to learn many arrangement of notes and mixing.

[@jayajain8882]

Chutiye logo ko composer ka pata nhi

[@Thesureleague]

This has been one of the most satisfying interviews I’ve heard and seen. Intelligent conversation by the finest in music. Thank you Rhea and all you guys on the panel. I am a music person and understood exactly the "pains" of working for people who are non musicians.

[@HELLBOY583]

wow.... you hear all the amazing work these guys accomplish over the years and that becomes part of your evolution.... but only on a no-holds-barred chat like this do you get to live, as it were, the experience of putting together the pieces.... great job, Team FC.... am a huge admirer of all these gentlemen

[@abhishektaksali5840]

certainly my respect for music composers after this episode has sky rocketed.. amazing and rare talent.. humanity needs you people..

[@FilmCompanion]

Thanks for the generous words Abhishek. :)

[@ronysmile4409]

Hey Anupama, Please bring mithoon when you take interview of music composers. I believe mithoon has great potential to be one of the best music director of India

[@dedeepyayerramalli5297]

Thank you so much Anupama for not keeping this short. although could possibly hear them talk all day. . This is fascinating on a new level!!! need more of these!

[@anon-kl8tm]

Film Companion- you are just classy and authentic! Couldn't have imagined anyone else thinking of this interview and the repertoire of questions that followed. Musicians are the most blessed souls in the entertainment business, naturally so are each and every one of these stars sitting in this room chatting. Each and every art form is unqiue, but music is music!

[@N2761997]

WOW! Thank you so much for this Anupama Ma'am! Amazing to see such creative and intelligent people together. The respect they have for each other is admirable. Love Amit Trivedi's persona, Ehsaan sir talking about the process of O Rangrez (No words to describe the beauty of that song), KHNH, and all the disagreements and finally mutual effort of creating masterpieces is outstanding!. Vishal-Shekar, besides being hilarious, are also amazing speakers! Lots of love and respect, thank you for this interview!!

[@ashwinmahesh2265]

Love how they get along with each other and aren't hesitant to give shoutouts and praises. It's something music teaches us.

[@vaidehimarathe]

This is the most chill roundable table I've seen so far on Film companion. There always seem to be a tension in the air with Actors and directors (No hate, just an observation), but these men are super chill and humble.

Some of my most favorite music composers! Such a lovely interview.

[@PriyaGupta-xj9kb]

Please do more interviews with music directors and singers. Such a treat to watch!

The story at 15:00 about Band Master is hilarious and cool. Andhra se aaye thhe gaana gaa kar chaley gaye. lol lol lol. Thank you FC for doing these. We get a glimpse of the vibe and atmosphere of the genuine artists and the funny stories and it's almost like we're hanging out with them. Get to share the vibe. It's beautiful that the camera and the mics catch the essence of humanity. It really does capture the essence and hold it for posterity, it's a real feat of mankind. Anyway, thanks again FC. Keep it coming, be more you, do more you. Much Love.

[@Nina-oi1qk]

This is so cool! These guys are the funniest interviewees that Anupama has ever had. So relaxed and cool! Some of the over pretentious stars and directors should see this and learn how laid back and simple true genius can be.
