Background music is the backbone of a movie because it brings alive the emotions and drama of a scene. Just visualize the famous scene from Dewaar where Shashi Kapoor confronts Amitabh Bachchan and solicits, ”Bhai Tum Sign Karoge Ya Nahi…” without the background music. Despite power packed dialogues and excellent performances the scene will fall flat to create a dramatic effect. That’s the power of background music.

Shantaram, Indian cinema’s legendary filmmaker, recognized for his milestone movie DO AANKHEN BARA HATH, made a movie DUNIYA NA MANE in 1937, in which he used natural sound as background music thus becoming India’s first film without background music. Only instrumental music was employed for few songs!
