Amit Trivedi scores high marks with the music Aiyyaa. A mix of 70s style disco, with an added touch of south Indian flavour, infused with sexually charged lyrics. Sounds bizarre, but the outcome is very impressive. After Gangs Of Wasseypur 1 & 2 music, Aiyyaa is easily my favourite soundtrack of the year.
I also like Amit Trivedi's soundtrack for Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana, also an Anurag Kashyap production.
Thanks for the recommendation, will surely check it out. In my books, Amit Trivedi is rising fast as a "consistent" musical talent for mainstream films. Which I find exciting, since only Rahman has shown consistency in "delivering" for the longest time, the south indian dude needs rivalry and the paying public needs more variety. I personally regard the soundtrack of Dev D as one of two or three best of the past 10-15 years that's from a hindi film language.
Anurag Kashyap, who's criticized for being oblivious to common mistakes, is actually, in my observation, far smarter than many of us give him credit for. Finding a talent like Amit Trivedi at Sunburn Music Festival is an ingenious idea to seek new "independent" creativity.
