After the box-office smashing results of Wanted, Dabangg and Ready, Salman Khan is back again with Bodyguard. Bodyguard is a remake of the Malayalam hit of the same name which starred Dileep and Nayantara. Bodyguard has already been remade in Tamil and a Telugu remake is in the works, so it’s only fitting that Hindi cinema tries its luck as well. Bodyguard has been directed by Siddique, who directed the original as well as the Tamil and Telugu remakes of the film.
Bodyguard features compositions by Himesh Reshammiya, whose musical career has been rather silent. Lyrics have been penned by Shabbir Ahmed and Neelesh Misra, however the soundtrack covers do not stipulate as to whether the songs are collaboration between the two or if they wrote different tracks.

You could call it a 'desi' version of Bob Dylan's social poetry set to music - novel to the ears. Contemporary urban music in India is drawing its soul from tradition, narratives from socio-political circumstances and beats from Western pop, rock and funk genres. Journalist-turned-Bollywood composer and writer Neelesh Misra, who released his band's new album, 'Rewind: Nine Lost Memories', at a concert in the capital Wednesday has combined the north Indian storytelling traditions of Dastangoi with funk rock in his new album. The album tells the story of an upwardly mobile small-town young man in a metro - who suffers the pangs of love, loss, loneliness and the blues that come with a clash of values. 'I would describe my music as 'funk kissagoi (storytelling)', a modern take on the medieval story telling tradition of Dastangoi of Islamic origin. It is a meeting point of Dastangoi and contemporary funk-rock,...
