New Delhi: A highly anticipated musical journey series, Showtime, is all set to premiere on March 8th on Disney+ Hotstar.
 
The excitement is not just about the glitz and glamour of Bollywood but also the mesmerising music album accompanying the show, featuring renowned artists like Badshah, Anand Bhaskar, Nikhita Gandhi, and more!
 
The album, presented by Sony Music, promises a unique blend of tracks, including "Bombae," "Lucky Lover," "Mahroo," and "Haara." Anand Bhaskar's compositions bring a fresh perspective, steering away from typical Bollywood tunes. "Mahroo," a sufi track, and "Haara," a modern lo-fi piece, offer emotional depth to the album.
 
Directed by Mihir Desai and Archit Kumar, produced by Dharmatic Entertainment, and created by Sumit Roy, Showtime boasts a star-studded cast including Emraan Hashmi, Mahima Makwana, Mouni Roy, and more. The album launch signifies a departure from conventional Bollywood soundtracks, aiming to entertain while conveying unique meanings and emotions through music.
 
Showrunner and Director Mihir Desai said, “The album launch of 'Showtime' on Disney+ Hotstar marks a unique departure from typical Bollywood soundtracks. We wanted our album to resonate differently to avoid falling into the trap of being spoofy or derivative. That's why we chose Anand Bhaskar to helm the project. As an independent artist, he brings a fresh perspective and a deep understanding of music that transcends traditional Bollywood tunes. Anand's sufi track 'Mahroo' is a standout, blending contemporary pop/EDM with rock elements and infusing it with emotional depth. 'Haara,' featuring lyrics by Ginny Diwan, delves into the emotional journey of Mouni Roy's character, receiving a modern lo-fi treatment that resonates with today’s generation. Apart from two 90s tribute tracks, one of which is by Tallz, the album steers clear of typical Bollywood tropes. Our aim was to create music that doesn't isolate audiences but instead serves as a backdrop, enhancing the emotional narrative of the story." 'BOMBAE' is another favourite, capturing the essence of Mumbai's hustle and the individual struggles within this vibrant city through its street freestyle rap. Badshah and Nikhita Gandhi collaborate on the groovy track "Class," showcasing Badshah's star power and Mouni Roy's stunning presence. Anand Bhaskar, the composer behind several album tracks, expresses his excitement for audiences to experience the fusion of entertainment and emotions at Showtime."
 
Playback singer Nikhita Gandhi said, "Class is an incredibly fun song, and collaborating with Badshah was a blast. His star power truly shines, and working with him showcases why he’s named Badshah. We are great friends, and it was so amazing to collaborate with him again, and I could not have chosen any other project than Showtime’s Class. Working with Mouni for the first time was, of course, such a joy; she is stunning in the song. I'm happy to be part of Class, which is just a glimpse of what’s to come on Disney+ Hotstar."
 
With a mix of 90s tribute tracks and contemporary beats, the Showtime album promises to be the ultimate playlist for fans of Bollywood music.
