Join us for the 6th episode of Digital Commentary’s On The Stop podcast featuring Nikhil Kamath, a music producer and the Nikhil from the iconic Music Director Duo Nikhil-Vinay.
What happens when a forgotten melody finds new life? In this deeply nostalgic and revealing podcast episode, legendary composer Nikhil from the iconic Nikhil-Vinay duo takes us on a rare journey through the golden age of Indian film music.
Known for crafting timeless hits like “Accha Sila Diya,” “Tum Bin,” “Bewafa Sanam,” and “Koi Fariyaad,” Nikhil opens up about the real stories behind the music that defined a generation. He shares the emotional, technical, and often surprising moments that went into making these songs, many of which still top playlists decades later.
This conversation also touches on how Raju Kalakar recently brought the heartbreaking song “Dil Pe Chalayi Churiyan” back into the limelight, turning it into a viral Gen Z trend, proving that good music truly never dies.
In a touching tribute, Nikhil reflects on the late Gulshan Kumar, the visionary behind T-Series, who gave them a platform and changed the face of India’s music industry forever. He also recalls giving Sonu Nigam his first major break, a career-defining moment that started with the haunting classic “Accha Sila Diya.”
From using 100+ live musicians in the studio to navigating the shift from analog recordings to today’s digital production, Nikhil offers a rare, insider look at how music was once made with soul, patience, and deep collaboration.
Whether you’re a 90s kid, a fan of Bollywood music, or someone curious about the legends who shaped the soundscape of India, this podcast is a time capsule - full of melody, memory, and magic.
