One of the greatest hallmarks of Indian cinema is the use of song and dance to convey story and emotion, but it is quite different and much more popular than the musicals found in Hollywood. In fact, India’s “filmi music” industry accounts for around 72% of all music sales in India. So where did it come from and why is it so popular? Hosts Ankur and Raeesa explore the history behind playback singing in India and what influenced the music in the films. They also take a special look at famous Indian film composer and musician AR Rahman and how he is able to move effortlessly between all the different regional cinemas.
