The 9th annual, multi-lingual round-up on Milliblog.

An edited version of this list appears in . That version also includes a pan-Indian 25-song list. The Saavn playlist for that 25 song list (excluding 2 songs that are not available on Saavn – Komala henne, from Godhi Banna Sadharna Mykattu and Pone, from Meeku Meere Maaku Meeme):
PS: This list is based on soundtracks released between December 15, 2015 and December 15, 2016. This is NOT based on release date of films; this is based on release date of soundtracks. I personally find it insulting to tag the soundtracks as a mere byproduct of a film and wait for the film to release (contingent upon so many extraneous factors, far beyond the soundtrack’s release) to include the music in a list. That’s the reason why, for instance, Justin Prabhakaran’s Oru Naal Koothu is not listed here. It was the 3rd best soundtrack of 2015, as it should be.

Hindi
Hindi film music, beyond the incredibly annoying trend of releasing one single a week (and a single even after the film’s release), was largely in good stead in 2016. This trend reached new heights in 2016. For films like Ae Dil Hai Mushkil (music by Pritam), the record label (Sony) released a song almost every few weeks, making us all (ok, very few – I doubt if anyone really cares) wonder just how many songs are there, in the film. And a song, a very good one, at that—Alizeh—was released after the film’s release. All this makes it difficult for people like me who wait for the film’s soundtrack release to write a review, but I guess other reviewers have reconciled to this staggered release well already. For example, Times of India did a review of a 4-song soundtrack of Ae Dil Hai Mushkil and didn’t bother writing about the remaining songs. Another example – Dangal (again, incredible music by Pritam)! The last song was released on December 14th (this annual round-up considers all soundtracks and singles released on or before December 15th), by which time Livemint had already posted a review of 4 songs, clearly unaware of how many songs are finally in the soundtrack or when they will ever be released!
This trend perhaps appears in other forms of the film industry as well. Short films gathered steam like never before in 2016. In fact, Mirror started reviewing short films regularly. Some of those, like Shirish Kunder’s and Jyoti Kapur Das’s (produced by Tisca Chopra) broke the clutter to become very popular. So, I assume the size and duration if reducing – of soundtracks (as singles), films (short films) etc. At some point, I guess we may have a theatrical release of a short film that has 1 song in its soundtrack released as a single and not featured in-film!
As always, there were the usual, much-hyped soundtracks that did well only because of the amount of push – paid, PR, digital marketing etc. – behind them, and then there were the little gems that didn’t have any of those and sounded absolutely delightful. Case in point: Krsna’s Cute Kameena – I don’t even know if the film released at all.
The veteran (age-wise, at least) trio, Shankar Ehsaan Loy proved why they are the most inventive and imaginative and that age is just a number (or, perhaps an advantage given the exposure and experience it brings) with a magnificent score for the box-office bomb Mirzya. They followed it up with a pretty good score for another box-office turkey, Rock On 2. Of Amit Trivedi’s 3 films, he got it wonderfully right in Udta Punjab and Fitoor, though, it was less consistent in Dear Zindagi. The big surprises this year were from Clinton Cerejo and Ram Sampath. TE3N and Raman Raghav 2.0 are top notch scores, with a vibrant new sound. Another surprise was from Salim-Sulaiman – for Prakash Jha’s Jai Gangaajal, the duo produced music that seemed to be going far beyond the brief, with delightful experimentation. Vishal-Shekhar too returned with a vengeance in 2016 – Sultan, Akira, Banjo, and to a lesser extent, Befikre, are proof enough.
Tamil composer Santhosh Narayanan made a brief Hindi appearance with Saala Khadoos and even though the music was hardly noticed, he had added lovely nuances to differentiate the Tamil version from the Hindi one. Some of the catchiest songs in 2016, in my view, included the undeniable earworm, Chull (Kapoor & Sons), Pyar Ki (Housefull 3), Kaala Chashma (Baar Baar Dekho), Baby ko bass pasand hai (Sultan), Udta Punjab’s title song and Mirzya’s Hota hai.

2016 was Santhosh Narayanan’s year. The man, who had one middling 36 Vayadhinile in 2015, ruled the roost all through 2016, including an Ilayaraja-style achievement of having 2 films for Diwali – Kodi and Kaashmora! He also had Rajinikant’s Kabali, itself a huge milestone for a fairly new composer who made his debut in 2012. Santhosh has indeed come a long way.
But the album of the year easily belongs to Santhosh’s contemporary and friend, Sean Roldan. He had a tepid 2015, with just one soundtrack (144), but he made his sole soundtrack of 2016 count big time – Joker. It’s amazing that director Raju Murugan opted for Sean Roldan in Joker, despite superlative music by Santhosh Narayanan in his last film, Cuckoo. Given the consistently good music across both films, it may be safe to assume that the director has a good ear for music. The other young composer, Anirudh, who produced a knockout Naanum Rowdy Dhaan in 2015, followed it up with wonderfully enjoyable scores in Remo and Rum.
Rahman had a great year, with 24 and Achcham Yenbadhu Madamaiyada that finally released this year. Both had music that was thoroughly enjoyable and extended the veteran (now, veteran) composer’s standing, particularly the latter.
Ghibran was muted largely, barring the highly interesting Chennai 2 Singapore, while the year’s most prolific, D.Imman, made good with a few songs in many soundtracks! As for debuts, Airtel Super Singer’s Ajesh made a brilliant composing debut in Paambhu Sattai, while Darbuka Siva made a great debut in Kidari, only to falter in his second soundtrack, Balle Vellaya Theva. Joshua Sridhar took time off his Kannada sojourn and returned confidently with Parandhu Sella Vaa (better than last year’s 54321). Vishal Chandrashekhar was, interestingly, trying his luck in Tamil and Telugu – in Tamil, his Jil Jung Juk was a delightfully inventive score, even as he produced a pretty decent soundtrack for the Telugu film Krishnagadi Veera Prema Gaadha.
Nivas K Prasanna followed up his superb debut last year with 2 great scores (Zero and Kootathil Oruthan), though in Sethupathy, his music came a cropper. Others like Leon James and Gopi Sundar had a decent enough run. Composer K had a middling run (films like Aandavan Kattalai and Ammani) though a couple of songs in those albums stood out pretty easily. He does have a big Hindi film in the pipeline – Karan Johar produced Ghazi! Hiphop Tamizha (beyond making their Telugu debut) and Harris Jayaraj continued to produce music within their narrowly defined templates. Ditto with Yuvan Shankar Raja and GV Prakash Kumar – quite a few projects but nothing standing out enough to highlight specifically.

Telugu
I’m completely aware of the fact that a tiny segment of people Andhra Pradesh would have heard the music of Gopi Sundar’s Seethamma Andalu Ramayya Sitralu. A slightly larger segment would have heard the songs of Majnu (given the hero, Nani’s status in the filmdom) and an even bigger set would have heard the songs from Oopiri, an obviously bigger budget film given the producers and starring Nagarjuna (besides Karthi). The same thing happened in 2015 too – Gopi Sundar as the composer of the year, with 2 of his soundtracks in the top 3 soundtracks!
I do occasionally track the top 10/20 countdowns from Andhra Pradesh so I know how odd this may seem to people there who may be used to seeing and hearing Devi Sri Prasad and Thaman songs on top. Or, maybe things are changing… I do not know. All I know is that, to my ears, these 2 soundtracks sound fantastic! Gopi has done rather limited work in Malayalam this year (and even less in Tamil). The really big film in Telugu still eludes him (starring Allu Arjun, Ram Charan etc.), but Oopiri is a good start (though musically average) given it featured Nagarjuna. But then, Ram Charan’s Dhruva had music by a debutant-duo, in Telugu (Hiphop Tamizha), so I believe things are changing and that the old guards are crumbling. It happened to Manisharma too, and he did make an impressive comeback this year with Gentleman. So…
Besides Gopi, Telugu filmdom is intriguingly littered with so many interesting composers. Sunny M.R for instance, but he was missing in 2016. But there are others like J.B and Shravan. Achu and Kalyan Koduri. Vivek Sagar and Navneeth Sundar. I have no specific idea how a Right Right’s music or a Meeku Meere Maaku Meeme’s music ‘performed’ in the state, but these are good soundtracks worth a listen.
Overall, I felt that the Telugu film music in 2016 was fairly limited in scope and ambition.

Malayalam
A debutant composer (Sooraj S. Kurup) and a now-veteran (Shaan Rahman) ruled Malayalam film music in my view. Sooraj’s lone soundtrack (ignoring his single added in Kochavva Paulo Ayyappa Coelho here) for Valleem Thetti Pulleem Thetti is an inspired, spirited debut, full of exciting music! His Pularkaalam Pole, to me, is this year’s equivalent of last year’s No.1 song, Vasanthamallike (Chandrettan Evideya, Prashant Pillai) – using a similar, carnatic music coated melody with brilliant orchestration to boot, this time going with Karaharapriya raaga. The 3 composer soundtrack for Kismath was a great mix, while singer Sachin Warrier produced a great new, fresh sound in his composing debut for Aanandam.
On Shaan Rahman – he seemed to be pulling a Bijibal in 2016 (who was oddly muted, unlike his 2015 super prolific self!), with many soundtracks and easily standout songs in all of them. Rahul Raj was a close second in the prolific-department in 2016 – I really liked his range, from a Mudhugav to an IDI! Gopi seemed a lot more busier in Telugu, so had limited, but interesting music in few films in Malayalam. Veterans Jerry Amaldev and Vidyasagar just made their presence felt.
I did wonder why there’s not a single song from what is supposedly the biggest hit in Malayalam this year, Pulimurugan. Gopi Sundar’s music, a really short soundtrack and nothing that really stood out for me worth even reviewing. Ditto for the other Mohanlal starrer, Priyadarshan’s Oppam – the music was by 4 Musics and less said about the music the better. And as for Poomaram, I believe there are 2 more songs yet to release, but it seems only fair to consider the already-released Njanum in the 2016 list.
Composer(s) of the year:
Sooraj S. Kurup and Shaan Rahman
Top 3 Malayalam soundtracks of the year:
01. Valleem Thetti Pulleem Thetti – Sooraj S. Kurup

Kannada
Amongst all the film industries in 2016 that I track, Kannada produced the most exciting music (I know I did say that Malayalam does that, in my interview with Prashant Pillai – that’s an overall recent trend; in 2016 specifically, I’d hand over that honor to Kannada). Charan Raj and Ajaneesh Loknath were in stupendous form in 2016, producing wonderfully inventive and highly enjoyable music. Ajaneesh can easily take on the mainstream mantle from Arjun Janya now, much like how Arjun himself picked it up from Harikrishna and Gurukiran a few years ago (though Harikrishna is definitely still in the reckoning!).
Other notable debuts include Niladri Kumar, Dheerendra Doss, Judah Sandhy and Vasuki Vaibhav. Good music all through!

Marathi
I haven’t listened to enough Marathi music in 2016, unlike last year where I had listened enough to make a top 10 list. Suffice to say, Sairat and Jaundya Na Balasaheb topped the year for me in Marathi, both by Ajay-Atul.
