Amaal Mallik’s background score for the song Kyun Rabba from the film Badla is making waves as it has crossed close to 14 million views in just four days. Interestingly, Amaal became the youngest music composer to create music for a Bachchan film with Badla. “I am 27 now and it feels good to be the youngest guy to do that,” Amaal says.
But Kyun Rabba initially left Taapsee Pannu, the leading lady of the film, wondering why it was in the film in the first place. “I was thinking how can a song like that fit into the film which is a whodunnit. But we shot a few montages and then the song was just stuck to my head. It was magical,” says Taapsee.
The music composer of movie such as Badrinath Ki Dulhaniya, Kapoor & Sons, Mubarkaan and Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety, Amaal explains how the song was done. “I heard the narration of the film from Sujoy Ghosh and producer Sunir Kheterpal. By the time I came back home a tune was already in my mind. I wanted lyricist Kumaar to write the track. And then I called my brother Armaan. He has a huge fan following, but I am the only music director who uses him as a scratch singer to sing all my tracks. He came over and sung the song and it turned out so well that I decided to retained his voice for the final version of the track,” says Amaal.
