Album DescriptionAvailable in:
Video series Bandish Bandits tells the story of a principled Indian classical vocalist and a carefree pop star. Composers Shankar Mahadevan, Ehsaan Noorani and Loy Mendonsa deftly combine Rajasthani folk, sublime Indian classical and refreshing dance-floor anthems. Mahadevan’s son Shivam and Jonita Gandhi duet on “Sajan Bin”, while veteran voices like Pandit Ajoy Chakrabarty shine on “Garaj Garaj”. Plus, gems from Farid Hasan and Mohammed Aman and an unmissable rendition of Rajasthani folk staple “Padharo Maare Des” round out the soundtrack.
The music for Bandish Bandits was composed by Shankar–Ehsaan–Loy, in their debut composition for web series. On their inclusion, the composers stated that the background score will work in tandem to the story-line and building the scenes, the songs in this series form a part of the core narrative. The 11-song soundtrack album features lyrics by Divyanshu Malhotra, Tanishk S Nabar, Sameer Samant and also consists traditional verses. The soundtrack album was released on 27 July 2020, and received positive response from critics.
