>Kabir Singh is a remake of phenomenally successful Telegu movie Arjun Reddy… a very angry love story starring Vijay Deverkonda and Shalini Pandey. Often with a film remake, cinemagoers are given a stylised version of the original… whether that be a thematic shift or just a language shift for the new audience. It’s always useful to look back at the first film to get a feel for what was originally intended and thus understand whether the remake got the same message across. Music is, of course, a vital part of this… the original done by Radhan was a heart rending, but perplexing mix of light hearted and thumping rhythms. The new version is the new standard in Bollywood of a mix of sounds from different music directors.
