The latest trend in big star movies prioritizes thumping background scores (BGM) over audio songs, considering it crucial for a film to jump to the next level. Take Anirudh, for instance; while his songs for ‘Jawan’ and ‘Jailer’ were deemed okayish, it was his BGM that truly elevated these films.
However, there’s a growing disappointment with Thaman and DSP’s background scores. Many complain about the lack of freshness in their work, noting that they repeatedly use the same sounds for every film. This major complaint surfaces frequently on social media and the feedback goes to them as well.
Moreover, the remuneration and additional fees for these star music directors are exceedingly high. Producers seem to have no choice as every major Telugu star prefers working with these two.
There’s a fear that introducing new or lesser-known music directors might hurt these stars’ egos, as it could be perceived as a decline in their star market stature.
Nevertheless, times have changed, and these outdated ideologies need to fade away.
Music directors like Ajaneesh Loknath (for ‘Virupaksha’ and ‘Mangalavaaram’), Jakes Bejoy (‘King of Kotha’), and Vishnu Vijay (‘Thallumaala’)—alongside a few other remarkably talented individuals delivering excellent BGM and they charge significantly less compared to the hefty demands of these star music directors.
The Telugu audience is embracing Ajaneesh’s BGM in ‘Mangalavaaram,’ praising its fresh sound that significantly contributes to the current buzz around this small film.
Unless star heroes shed their egos and actively seek fresh talent, their fans may have to settle for the recycled BGM delivered by these renowned directors.
