Bhangra Quotes

Guide, Pyaasa - these are my films that can be remade with current actors. But the music and lyrics should not be changed. Because you cannot have a samba or bhangra beat for the seduction scene in Pyaasa...the beauty will be lost. (Waheeda Rehman)
Arre bhai...there is so much more to Indian music than those beats. I have done bhangra...nothing against it. But why do we present only that to the Indian and global audience. Punjabi language and music has become the language of the film industry unfortunately. Be it Singh is King or London Dreams or New York Beats are the same. agreed you cannot use classical or folk music in New York or Singh is King but London Dreams - it's supposed to be a musical. Music should have been the soul of it. But that is the weakest thing in the film. So much could have been done - classical music and folk music could have been used. But they didn't. They want to finish of work ASAP. Quantity, not quality has taken over. View quote

Bollywood film music composers are under a lot of pressure to add elements of disco or bhangra or any other flavour currently popular with the youth. But when it comes to regional films, composers are given a free hand and they compose music they believe in. I think it's a matter of great pride to be singing such soulful tunes. View quote
