Quotes
Vishal Dadlani
Indian music director and composer
“The big, masala music that was in 'Om Shanti Om', is the only one. This is the last one! The traditional masala Bollywood musical is this one. Even now I get reels explaining how we made 'Dhoom Tana' without AI at that time when there was no AI. The visuals! How did they create it? We just did it, and we were having fun.”
