Bhansali’s lineup of hits includes the ethereal ‘Deewani Mastani’ from ‘Bajirao Mastani’, the poignant ‘Laal Ishq’, and the vibrant ‘Ghoomar’ from ‘Padmaavat’, each composition a testament to his soulful artistry and testament to aural storytelling.
The director’s personal commitment to music extends towards a symphonic partnership with some of Hindi cinema’s most accomplished composers such as Ismail Darbar, Monty Sharma, and Bhansali himself. Through these collaborations, Bhansali has crafted a portfolio of timeless soundtracks that have etched their place in the annals of film history.

The label will function as Bhansali’s brainchild, an enclave for music that will encompass contributions from versatile musicians and promise the curation of music that will chronicle emotions and stories as fervently as his films have done. His melodies, renowned for marrying the richness of classical music with the freshness of contemporary beats, echo across generations, drawing listeners into a dance of history and modernity.
Bhansali Music is not merely an addition to the plethora of music labels; it pushes creative boundaries and serves as a testament to Bhansali’s belief in music as more than an accompaniment to visuals.
