The following three classical compositions are tightly packed into a verse-chorus pop format. The album then slowly eases into classical pop. Play Couple Goals, Bandish Bandits (2020). Sajan Bin, Chedhkhaniyaan and Couple Goals revolve around young love, and are characteristically peppy. The first third of the album is pure pop, or rather the sort of fusion-pop that is the hallmark of most of Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy’s chartbusters. This well-oiled machine proves to be a natural fit for a project of this nature. Shankar Mahadevan is steeped in Hindustani and Carnatic traditions, while Ehsaan Noorani and Loy Mendonsa redefined pop music for an entire generation in the 1990s. Bandish Bandits, which stars Ritwik Bhowmik, Shreya Chaudhry, Naseeruddin Shah and Atul Kulkarni, will be out on Amazon Prime Video on August 4.
The series follows a YouTube pop star forming a professional and romantic partnership with a Hindustani classical singer. Their album for the Amazon Prime Video series Bandish Bandits bridges their work across both decades. The 2010s saw the composers working on high-minded projects, which offered more room for esoteric experimentation involving folk and classical forms. Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy’s soundtracks in the 2000s were broadly bubblegum pop of various hues.
