Shashwat Sachdev
Shashwat’s not your run-of-the-mill musician—he’s one of those rare guys who can actually pull off writing, composing, and singing, all without looking like he’s showing off. Hailing from India, he’s made a pretty big splash in Bollywood, especially with his work on “Phillauri” and “Veere Di Wedding.” If you’ve ever had one of those catchy film tunes stuck in your head and wondered who was behind it, there’s a decent chance it was him.
But Shashwat isn’t just about mainstream hits. He went and gave Netflix India’s “Selection Day” its entire vibe—like, the soundtrack slaps way harder than you’d expect. Then, there’s “URI.” Now that movie? Not just another film, but a full-blown box office monster in India. Like, if you ask anybody about blockbuster Indian films over the past few years, “URI” is gonna come up, no doubt. And guess who was running the music show for that one? Yep, Shashwat again.
Oh, and if you think all this is just hype, the guy’s got the hardware to back it up. We’re talking a National Film Award for Best Music Direction for “URI.” That’s not just some random pat on the back—it’s basically the gold medal of Indian film music. So whether it’s setting the mood for dramatic scenes, making you want to dance, or just getting stuck in your head for days, Shashwat’s fingerprints are all over some of the biggest projects in Indian entertainment right now. Dude’s legit.
