Reminiscing about the time he worked with the late composer-singer, Nikhil says, “I had composed a folk-based song called ‘Chatni Chatni’ for the film ‘Dunno Y2 Life Is A Moment”. When producer and lead actor Kapil Kaustubh Sharma heard the track, he told me Bappi da would be the best person to sing it. I reached out to Bappi da and he immediately agreed to sing the song. He was in America at that time and he recorded his vocals from there and sent it to me. His rendition was pitch-perfect! We used the portions sung by him in another single called ‘Kulfi Kulfi’ which was co-sung by Rekha Rao.”

Like any other composer of his generation, Nikhil was hugely inspired by Bappi Lahiri. He started studying the late composer’s music when he was in college and distinctively remembers buying an EP of the film ‘Chalte Chalte’ which had the iconic Kishore Kumar sung track “Chalte Chalte Mere Yeh Geet” composed by Lahiri.

“Bappi da was one of the most kind-hearted human beings I had come across. One of my favourite songs by him is ‘Pyaar Maanga Hai Tumhi Se’. He was one of the most versatile composers. Though the media often described him as the ‘disco king’, he had delivered great songs in every possible genre. ‘Saiyaan Bina Ghar Soona’, sung by Lata Mangeshkar ji and Bhupinder Singh ji, was a semi-classical number and one of his finest compositions”.

According to Nikhil, Bappi Lahiri has left behind a rich legacy of songs that will continue to inspire many generations for decades to come.

Nikhil Kamath says “I feel really proud and blessed that I was a part of such a memorable film like “Tum Bin”. It was an experience which I cherish from the bottom of my heart. There was so much trust , love and affection between all of us. Bhushan Kumar had complete trust and faith in our abilities and Anubhav Sinha was also in great spirits.”

He further added “The songs are still relevant and remembered today because they were composed with complete freedom given to the composers and unit. Bhushan Kumar trusted us and Faaiz Anwar. He was also new and gave us a free hand. We kept melody in all songs. In the long run good lyrics and melody works. We took great care to see that the orchestration suits the situations of the songs. Though we modernised the musical orchestration we used violins and all original instruments to highlight the songs. The songs were well picturised by Anubhav Sinha in Panavision colour. The script and the story made the film Immortal.”

‘Tum Bin’ is best known for its memorable soundtrack composed by Nikhil-Vinay, the beautifully melancholic “Koi Fariyaad” sung by legendary ghazal singer Jagjit Singh.

The film starred relatively lesser-known actors and newcomers – Priyanshu Chatterjee, Himanshu Malik, Sandali Sinha and Raqesh Vashisth – in leading roles. The songs from the film are still very popular.
