MUMBAI: JioCinema Premium is set to release the biggest musical drama show of the year, Khalbali Records. The trailer is already out and has generated a lot of conversation among the masses, receiving rave reviews. Portraying the intense competition between commercial music and the rap and indie music culture, the series stars Ram Kapoor, Saloni Batra, Skand Thakur, Salonie Patel, EPR, and Kumar Varun. Directed by Devanshu Singh, the series brings its core theme of music to life through soulful soundtracks produced by the ace composer Amit Trivedi, along with unique indie hip-hop tracks by Azadi Records.
While talking about making of Khalbali records Devanshu Singh said,"Creating a show involves as much work as making at least two films. Especially when you're both the showrunner and the director, you pour your heart into it. It gets very challenging to make 23 songs, shoot in different cities, and tell the stories of so many actors. Yet, I had the opportunity to work on 23 songs, including 6 with Amit Trivedi and 17 with independent artists. The joy of this accomplishment far outweighs the difficulties. The songs Amit Trivedi has created for this album are unlike anything he has made before, so he is also quite excited about it."
He further added, "Our show features rappers from diverse regions like Kashmir, South India, and Delhi. Every artist, in some way, speaks from their own world and reality, which is why this show is close to the truth. One artist explores a slightly Sufi zone, another discusses the contemporary world, and another reflects on their own environment. This show is saying that art is above the artist, and the artist who understands this stays alive and rises above, while the artist who becomes bigger than art, falls."
Watch biggest musical drama of the year Khalbali Records streaming exclusively on JioCinema Premium from 12th September
