Film scoring in Mumbai
Mumbai is home to the Hindi film industry, with Film City in Goregaon and production offices across Andheri and Juhu. I score feature films, web series and shorts for Mumbai producers and directors, and can sit with your editor through the spotting and review sessions.

I compose background scores, themes and songs for feature films, from the first spotting session to the final mix.
I scored the whole of Shyam Sunder Paliwal, a Rajasthani feature released on STAGE, and sang backing vocals on its soundtrack. On Hanuman Ansh, one of the big box office surprises of 2026, I recorded Siyavar Ramchandra Ki Jai and Hriday Mein Jinke Sitaram and sang backing vocals on both.
A score has to serve the story first. I write themes for characters and places, then build the cues around the cut, mixing orchestral writing, hybrid trailer-style sound and Indian instruments depending on what the film needs.
My Hindustani classical training means raga-based melodies and Indian vocal parts can come straight from me, which helps on devotional, period and regional films.

How it works
From brief to final mix
- 01
Spotting
We watch the cut together and mark where music starts, stops and what each cue has to do.
- 02
Themes
I write the main themes first so the score has a voice before the cues are built.
- 03
Cues
Every cue is scored to picture, with mockups you can review against the edit.
- 04
Final mix
Recorded parts, vocals and the final score mix delivered as stems for the dub.
