A Journey That Began With Panchamda - Spectrum The Tribune!!
All for the perfect score
As music composer, Raju Singh’s 100th film Ek Villain crosses
the ~100-crore mark, the man behind many a background score
steps out to share notes from his journey that began as a guitarist with
Pancham da
Nonika Singh
 AS a kid, he would stand in front of the mirror with
a guitar in hand, and hoped to conquer the world
one day. Today talented and prolific music
composer Raju Singh may not be a household name
but beams, "Life is a party."
Well, when your hundredth film goes on to rake Rs
100 crore at the boxoffice... one would expect it
to be! Only his bravado over the super-duper
success of Ek Villain, for which he has given the
background score, conceals his persistence and
hard work. It also hides the harsh reality that
till recently background music makers were hardly
given their due. Indeed, he agrees creating
background music for the film means you remain out of the limelight.
However, background score is not restrictive as many would assume. Sure, one has to follow
the director’s vision. But, he informs that unlike music director of songs, a background composer
comes into the picture after the movie has been made. Thus, he is free to not only choose
any style or genre but also to play it in any which way as long as it doesn’t stand out like a sore
thumb. For instance, in the film Life In A Metro, Celtic and country musical influences
went into his compositions and for Chandni Bar, he decided to use Shubha Mudgal’s voice in
varied styles. For Punjabi films 1984 and Jatt James Bond too, this proud Sikh didn’t follow the
clichéd dhol-dhamaka path.
To lend the right kind of sensibility to the film, he watches it many a times. He laughs "I often
lose count and that’s the reason I never make it to the premier shows." The musician, who began
his career as a guitarist in R D Burman’s musical ensemble, didn’t really plan his career. Certainly
Pancham da’s influence was rock solid and with unconcealed pride, he says. "I come from the
RD Burman school of music."
Music, he tells you, doesn’t fall like manna from heaven. "It’s a natural process where what goes
into your head, what flows in your blood and what you receive as inputs, all mingle together to
breathe a new tune."
Raju is not only a man of many tunes, but also many mediums and open to all kinds of work. So
if to begin with, he partnered with Adesh and composed for Malkit Singh, he later went on to give
music to a host of TV serials, many of which have stayed with viewers.
Be it the album of Javed Akhtar’s immortal poetry or Parsoon Joshi’s lyrics in Big B’s voice…
working with bigwigs have been exhilarating experiences. Expectedly filmy duniya for him is a fairly
congenial place to be in where he has loyal friends like Mohit Suri. He interjects, "As long as
you don’t assume its carte blanche for working together, it will survive." Apart from Suri, who
he believes has an uncanny knack of spotting the right kind of tune, he also swears by yet
another close friend Sonu Nigam. He hails Nigam as a complete singer and he enjoys weaving
tunes around his melodious voice.
By the way, Raju is a singer too and has sung for films like Dedh Ishiqya and Club 60. You bet he
would love to sing more and compose music for songs as he has done for some films, including
Raaz 2. But his ultimate dream is not to compose songs for a blockbuster but to render lilting
tunes on his guitar, an album that listeners would reach out to when their nerves are frayed.
Film industry might occasionally be devoid of melodies, in his saat suron ki duniya, soulful melody
reigns first and last. After all the little boy has to fulfill the promise he made to himself. And what
better way than music, which as Ellen J. Barrier said, doesn’t need interpreters and translators, to

Singer-composer Raju Singh scores a century with Ek Villain - Times Of India!!
 |
| Raju Singh and Mohit Suri |
Raju Singh has completed his 100th film in background scores with Ek Villain. He has earlier scored background music for films like CityLights (2014), Murder 3 (2013), Yamla Pagla Deewana 2 (2013), Raaz 3 (2012), We Are Family (2010), Life In A Metro (2007), Page 3 (2005), Ishq Vishk (2003) and Chandni Bar (2001), to name a few.
Explaining the importance of background music, Singh says, "Though most dismiss background score as something insignificant, it's the actual element that communicates the director's vision. It makes an impact on the scene. In Ek Villain, the background score puts across the darkness in the romance."

At an event recently, Shradhha was seen sporting headphones, carefully listening to the gripping background score created by the singer-composer Raju Singh as she was requested by him and Mohit to add her voice to the score. Shraddha was dressed casually for the event in a cool tank top teamed with a casual denim shirt and printed harem pants. We loved how she finished off her look with the chunky silver loop earrings and brown leather Oxford shoes.
Shraddha will be seen alongside Sidharth Malhotra in an interesting role in this one. We are eagerly looking forward to Ek Villain‘s score and the film!
