Achint Thakkar
Achint Thakkar, man, this guy’s been quietly killing it in the Indian film scene. You might not know his face, but you’ve definitely caught his work if you’re even remotely into Bollywood or the streaming universe. He’s the musical wizard behind some of the most gripping soundtracks out there—think “Jigra” (2024), that fresh Alia Bhatt starrer everyone’s been buzzing about, or the darkly fun “Monica O My Darling” from 2022. Oh, and don’t even get me started on “Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story”—literally changed the game for web series music in India. That opening theme? Straight-up iconic.
Thakkar’s got this wild knack for mixing old-school vibes with new-age funk, and it just… works. His tunes aren’t just background noise; they straight-up elevate the scene. Like, you’ll be watching and—bam—the music sneaks up, wraps around the story, and suddenly you’re way more invested than you expected. He’s not about over-the-top drama, either. Nah, it’s all about subtle touches, a bit of synth here, some retro beats there, and before you know it, you can’t get the melody out of your head.
Honestly, Achint’s becoming the go-to guy for directors who want their movies to sound different. He’s not following the same old formula. Each project feels like its own universe, and his scores always bring something unpredictable to the table. If you haven’t paid attention to his name yet, you probably will soon—his music’s just that sticky.
