IIPM INTERNATIONAL - NEW DELHI, GURGAON & NOIDA
Hum Tum, Fanaa, Dhoom, Dhoom II, Krrissh, Namaste London, Chak De! India… Besides being among the biggest hits of the past two years, these movies have also had some lovely music and each of these films owe their chart-topping numbers to the duo Salim-Sulaiman. Salim Merchant and Sulaiman Merchant started out with commercials, moved on to composing for Indi-pop albums like that of Shweta Shetty, and began composing background scores for movies around the mid 90s. They first came into notice when they composed music for the movie Hamesha, but it was with Ram Gopal Varma’s Bhoot that they truly made it big. Since the past three-four years, almost every big banner production has picked Salim and Sulaiman to compose the background scores of their movies.
Salim and Sulaiman have been raking in awards at the annual award functions too. From Filmfare Awards to IIFA Awards to Star Screen Awards, their talent has been recognised and rewarded by all. The duo is tremendously optimistic about their future and that of Bollywood. “Right now, Bollywood is at its peak. We (the industry) really are doing world class music,” said Salim. Revealing their plans for the future, Salim said, “We are also talking to a lot of people in US for independent American films.”
“We want to start a music school in India, which would concentrate on western classical music. There are a lot of classes and gurus from gharanas, who train you in Indian classical stuff, but a western classical school where a teacher teaches you the violin, is what’s missing and is what we want to get into. We have some string players and orchestra players but we think that 10 years later we won’t have any string players. Western classical music is a big part of our Indian music industry. We need orchestra players in our country. It’s our dream and vision to leave behind something for the industry that has given us so much,” said Salim.
For such dreams and for melodies that can inspire more to dream, Salim-Sulaiman are brothers we’re placing our bets on for the coming years.
