But today, the definition of Bollywood music has changed upside down
. Gone are the days of songs with a hint of nasal tone or the famous yodeling'. Bollywood stands for much more today. The vivid variety of lyrics and compositions that the Indian film industry dishes out today is enough to give a tough competition to any international level musician. Young music directors like the duos of Vishal-Shekhar and Salim-Suleman etc. are ruling over people's heart by making such wondrously mushy or tub-thumping peppy tracks. The range of instruments, the quality of studio and mike etc. that is available today is something that if ace musicians like S.D Burman or R.D Burman had then they could have created magic with their music. However, musicians like A.R Rehman and Shankar Ehsaan Loy are no less as they creating appalling music and masterpieces like Jai Ho' and Maa' respectively. The level of acceptance by the Indian audience has also matured tremendously and offbeat songs like the ones of Dev.D also succeed in getting a position in the chartbusters. Thus, Bollywood music or the Filmy' music as they put it has come a very long way from the 50s till today but it still oozes out with freshness and never fails to appeal the listeners with its zest and zeal.
