Happy Birthday Pritam: Songs You Must Have in Your Playlist

Bollywood music composer Pritam Chakraborty is celebrating his 50th birthday today. Pritam made his debut in the Bollywood industry in 2002. Before writing for Bollywood films, Pritam recorded jingles for television commercials. He collaborated with Jeet Ganguly in 2001 for his big break which came in form of the song Tere Liye. He later went on to give solo hits in films like Dhoom, Gangster, and Life In A Metro. With over a decade of solo music direction behind him, Pritam has won several awards for creating musical hits.

On his birthday, here are some of his hit songs:

In Dino (Life In A Metro)

Life In A Metro is one of Pritam’s finest albums. Every song in this film was brilliantly crafted but the song ‘In Dino’ is an undisputed winner.

Twist (Love Aaj Kal)

As the 2009 Love Aaj Kal storyline shuttled between past and present, Pritam added a similar flavour to this song. He took the classic melody Man Dole Mere Tan Dole from the 1954 movie Nagin and added hip-hop grooves to create Twist.
