Ever
seen
music
composers
balance
career
with
life?
Meet
the
talented
duo
Dharam
and
Sandeep.
So
when
you
visit
their
plush
studio
in
Khar,
you
notice
that
each
has
popped
out
from
downtown
New
York
or
London's
famous
Piccadilly
Circus.
Vulnerable,
humourous
and
gifted,
you
get
sucked
into
their
way
of
thinking
and
scoring
for
each
film.
On
further
interacting
with
them,
you
find
out
that
music
has
a
definitive
language
(according
to
the
duo)...the
only
difference
is...the
pair
gives
their
own
explanation,
"For
us,
music
is
like
sipping
hot
coffee.
Only
then
you
tend
to
get
more
relaxed
and
comfy.
That's
when
we
score
high".
This
special
correspondent
meets
Dharam
and
Sandeep,
Ram
Gopal
Varma's
latest
find,
who
are
in
the
forefront
when
it
comes
to
scoring
for
films
like
Rann,
Phoonk
2
and
the
much
talked
about
Rakta
Charitra
(RC).
Then
why
name
them
'background
music
composers?" Tune
in...and
you'll
soon
find
out.
"RC
is
going
to
explode"
It
is
not
very
often
that
you
get
to
score
a
true
life
story.
We
are
lucky
to
be
associated
for
the
third
time
in
a
row
with
an
RGV
film.
This
one
especially
is
a
bomb
shell.
Rakta
Charitra
is
going
to
explode
like
anything
once
it
releases
in
a
couple
of
days.
"We
decided
to
challenge
ourselves"
Rann
was
different
in
its
own
way,
Phoonk
2
was
again
a
horror
flick
and
Rakta
Charitra
touches
the
ethnicity
of
India.
But
at
the
same
time,
we
decided
to
challenge
ourselves
by
not
going
into
the
cliche
genre
of
scoring
yet
another
vengeance
filled
film.
RC
is
scored
in
an
'East
meets
west' type.
We've
tried
something
different
and
that's
what
RGV
is
all
about.
It's
not
that
RGV
is
a
controversial
figure.
People
think
that
he
takes
the
case
of
everyone.
But
the
fact
is
that
he
is
only
giving
his
own
opinion.
"Surya
cannot
get
'Dance
of
Death'
track
out
of
his
mind"
Surya
loved
the
song
which
we
composed
titled
'Dance
of
Death
-
Milega
Marega'.
The
first
time
we
met
him,
he
showed
his
appreciation
by
saying
that
the
track
is
'kick
a**'.
Later
in
a
party,
he
again
came
up
to
us
and
shook
our
hands
saying,
"I
cannot
get
the
track
out
of
my
mind.
Well
done
guys.'
Such
words
of
appreciation
only
help
us
perform
that
much
better."
"The
score
of
RC
cannot
be
rated.
It's
beyond
anyone's
imagination"
We've
tried
to
use
chants,
mantras
and
all
to
depict
the
inner
demons
of
each
character.
It
brings
them
out
even
more
powerful.
If
we
have
to
rate
our
score
from
the
other
films
we've
done,
well,
RC
is
too
larger
than
life
to
be
described.
The
score
of
RC
cannot
be
rated
because
it
has
surpassed
all
figures.
Once
you
hear
the
score,
you'll
believe
in
what
we're
saying.
"For
the
first
time
ever,
RGV's
film
has
English
lyrics"
For
the
first
time
ever,
an
RGV
film
has
English
lyrics.
Now
people
might
think
how
English
lyrics
can
fit
into
a
Hindi
film.
Just
because
something
is
English
doesn't
mean
that
it
doesn't
suit
the
scenario.
In
fact,
it
adds
more
to
the
scene
or
the
flavour
of
that
scene.
Music
has
no
language
barrier
and
only
then
you
score
brownie
points
as
music
directors
or
background
music
composers
"We
felt
some
kind
of
an
aura
like
Vivek
has
in
the
film"
The
combination
of
Vivek
and
RGV
is
mind
blowing.
Once
there
was
a
Company,
now
there
is
Rakta
Charitra.
It's
cinema
to
its
core.
I
don't
know
what
it
is
but
every
shot
gave
us
goosebumps.
We
felt
some
kind
of
an
aura
like
Vivek
Oberoi
has
in
the
film
while
scoring
for
RC.
