'Can't intellectualize music': Vikram Bhatt on making hit songs
What's the story
Acclaimed director Vikram Bhatt, known for his sharp musical sense, recently opened up about his approach to music. Speaking to IANS during the promotions of Haunted 3D, he emphasized that the primary job of a song is to stir emotions in the audience. "I only feel one thing: you can't intellectualize music," he said.
Music philosophy
'It's like getting turned on...'
Bhatt drew an analogy between music and attraction, saying, "It's like getting turned on." "Why does a certain person turn you on, and a certain person doesn't turn you on? You can't fake it." "Similarly, if you don't intellectualize music and when you hear a song for the first time, and...if you allow it to make you feel something, then at least you'll be making a song that one person likes, and that is you."
