World Music Day 2021: 'Broken But Beautiful 3', 'Bandish Bandits' and other web shows that gave us amazing soundtracks

Released in 2020, Amazon Prime Video's ‘Bandish Bandits’ is a romantic drama that explored music as being a discipline versus as a means of liberation. The show ended up producing some classic songs that made the viewers fell in love with it. The music of the show was composed by Shankar Ehsaan Loy. The 11-song soundtrack album features Divyanshu Malhotra, Tanishk S Nabar, Sameer Samant, and consists of traditional verses. The show's magnificent east-meets-west soundtrack is a solid piece of work.

ALTBalaji’s ‘Broken But Beautiful' has given us some amazing music in its first two seasons. Be it ‘Ye Kya Hua’ or ‘Teri Hogaiyaan’, both the tracks struck a chord with the audience. And with its third season, makers made sure the album is still prestigious. For 'Broken But Beautiful 3', the makers had roped in giants from the music world namely Vishal Mishra, Amaal Mallik, Akhil Sachdeva, and Sandeep Patil (Sandman) to create soulful compositions like 'Tere Naal, 'Mere Liye', 'Hua Javaan', Teri Hogaiyaan’ and 'Kya Kiya Hai Tune' with some impactful lyrics which trended across various social media platforms and chartbuster lists.  

Do we even need to talk about the craze that the theme song of ‘Scam 1992’ created this year? The catchy song was all over on social media, playing in stores and on the radio. However, it's not just the opening track from the show that is outstanding. Other tracks from the show, ‘Mat Kar Maya Ka Ahankar’, and ‘Do Din Ki Zindagi’ are underrated pieces that deserve much-needed applause. Based on Harshad Mehta's story, Scam 1992 is a visual treat and a delight for music enthusiasts.

'Sacred Games' was one of the first Indian web series that became a rage in the country. It won't be wrong to say that the show was a trendsetter of sorts in many ways. However, given the mammoth success of the show, the soundtrack of ‘Sacred Games’ did not get much appreciation. ‘Tabahi’, ‘Dhuan Dhuan’, ‘Labbon Se Chu Kar’, are one the few songs worth mentioning from the show.  

ALTBalaji’s another show, ’The Married Woman’ was one of the most striking projects of the year. The show featured two women romancing each other onscreen. It also featured a beautiful lineup of songs. ‘Bematlab’ by Amrita Bagchi totally stole hearts. Other tracks from the show like ‘Dil Ki Shaakh’, ‘Khwabon Ka Aashiyan’ were so mesmerizing that they deserve a special mention too.

Happy World Music Day to you all!
