Music nowadays is inspired heavily from the west. BW songs lack originality and most songs are copied, either from international artists or remixed from the 90s.

You rarely hear any classical or folk music.

If you notice, nowadays many songs are just sung by the music directors themselves (Vishal, Shekhar, Amit Trivedi, etc). None of them are particularly talented but it is easy to mask flaws thanks to software. But that also means that the singing often lacks depth and richness in terms of range and notes.

I wish there was a balance between Indian music, traditional instruments and western kind music. Personally I don't have prejudices against both western and Indian. What matters to me is that efforts are made to put soul in a composition and its original; as far as possible. I love flute, sitaar and all, tabla etc too. What I dislike is extreme opinion and stand. To be rigid for only one form of music. I don't know why producers, directors and music directors don't experiment or use Indian music too. If asked I am sure they ll say audiences now don't like it. I disagree. They don't give viewers a choice now. Besides there is audience of every genre. Also, earlier there was no interference in music, choice of singer. Now there is. I think in today's generation only A R Rehman can compose such songs.

Agree. Rajesh Roshan, even Anu Malik is better than most of today's composers, Nadeem shravan,Ismail Darbar, etc. I love Shantanu Moitra also.
