In today’s film music, good and rich melodies are missing. This is a tragedy of bollywood film music. May be, because of lack of talent or because of poor lyrics. Or a combination of both. Our hindi film music is already influenced by western music and music directors try mixing/blending Indian folk music or bhangra beats to it and create dance numbers, which don’t create good melody out of the song.

There are very few songs which common people can sing to themselves or in Public. The emphasis in given on item numbers which become popular mainly because they are played and shown on TV channels so many times. The best example is song from Dabbang, ‘Munni Badnaam hui’ !

I don’t mean to say that today’s musicians are not talented, however they don’t exercise their talent in right direction and go after the technology  which helps them to blend, alter, copy tunes/beats from old Indian or western songs and they can quickly record and release songs/albums.

There are very few romantic tunes with good quality melody in most films..most songs are dance numbers with cheap lyrics and orchestration.

Unfortunately, in today’s time there are very few good movies made in which there are very few good songs and rarely we come across good melodies.
