How Much Does Pritam Charge For A Film? Pritam forayed into the music world as a co-composer with the 2001 film Tere Liye. He debuted as a solo composer in 2003 with the film Stumped. But Priram's real break in Bollywood came with the 2004 hit action drama Dhoom, especially the movie's title track. In his career spanning decades, Pritam has delivered countless hits that can be found in every person's playlist even today. Some of the popular movies he has composed music for include Gangster, Jannat, Kismat Konnection, Jab We Met, Race, Love Aaj Kal, Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani, Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, Cocktail, and Brahmastra. According to a report by DNA, Pritam charges Rs 5 crore for every film and is considered one of the highest-paid musicians in India. Top 10 Songs Of Pritam Tum Se Hi – Jab We Met (2007) This soul-stirring number fills you with love and the euphoria of a budding romance. Sung excellently by Mohit Chauhan, the track's tender lyrics are what make it so special. Kareena Kapoor and Shahid Kapoor's chemistry was also a hit. Pehli Nazar Mein – Race (2008) This romantic number captures the 'love at first sight" concept. Its soothing and feel-good vibe makes the song a perfect one to hear on a lazy Sunday afternoon when you are spending time with your partner. Atif Aslam's voice adds to the magic. Tum Hi Ho Bandhu – Cocktail (2012) A song about friendships can never get old. Pritam weaved his charm in this light-hearted track, blending Punjabi folk and modern beats. The catchy chorus is what makes it stand out and a must-play party track. Itni Si Hasi – Barfi! (2012) This song evokes nostalgia and childlike innocence, capturing the theme of the film where Priyanka Chopra plays an autistic person. The soft tones and whimsical flair make it a go-to song when you are feeling down. Badtameez Dil – Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani (2013) Pritam had us grooving to this upbeat song, brimming with youthful exuberance. No wonder it became the anthem of a generation. The playful lyrics, foot-tapping beats and Ranbir Kapoor-Deepika Padukone's charisma made the song a chartbuster. Main Rang Sharbaton Ka – Phata Poster Nikhla Hero (2013) A charming ode to love and professing how much a person means to their lover, this song's colourful and mid-tempo romance lives in our minds rent-free. The sweet and lively lyrics, minus any heavy underlying meaning, helped it reach a vast audience. Gerua – Dilwale (2015) When love, passion and longing were combined into one, Gerua was born. Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol's chemistry was simply on fire. But it was Pritam's masterful orchestration that made the track truly special. Channa Mereya – Ae Dil Hai Mushkil (2016) This song teaches us how to say goodbye to the love of our life with a smile on our face. It's heartwrenching, bitter and full of pent-up agony. Arijit Singh's melodious voice and Pritam's spectacular composition once again prove why the duo is a hitmaker. Aabaad Barbaad – Ludo (2020) This charbusted blends Bollywood flair and EDM elements — all thanks to Pritam da. High on energy but infused with thoughtful lyricism, the song tells so much about Pritam's depth and versatility. Kesariya – Brahmastra (2022) Pritam's mind-blowing composition, combined with Arijit Singh's vocal prowess, was enough for us to play the song on repeat. Vibrant visuals of Varanasi's colourful lanes and Ranbir Kapoor-Alia Bhatt's natural chemistry were the x-factor. First Published: June 14, 2025, 07:15 IST

Thug Life Makers Claim Karnataka Govt Not Acting Against Threats: 'Not A Single FIR Filed'
Last Updated: Kamal Haasan landed in a controversy recently during the Thug Life audio launch event in Chennai, where he made a statement linking the origins of the Kannada language to Tamil. The makers of Kamala Haasan's Thug Life have alleged that the Karnataka government is not protecting them from threats amid the actor's 'Kannada born out of Tamil" remark. Recently, the makers filed a plea in the court seeking protection and claimed that the state government has not filed even a single FIR as of now against groups who are openly threatening them. 'A fringe group issued threats of large-scale violence, including the burning of theatres and attacks against members of the Tamil linguistic minority residing in Karnataka. Despite these open and public threats, not a single FIR was registered, nor was any prosecution initiated by the State Government. On the contrary, the government appeared to adopt the position of the very fringe elements that issued those threats. We are aggrieved by this inaction and are now before the Supreme Court, seeking enforcement of this Court's past directions," Advocate A Velan said, as quoted by Hindustan Times. The plea of the Thug Life makers argued that such inaction violates the fundamental right to freedom of speech and expression under Article 19(1)(a) of the Constitution. The Supreme Court has now sought the state government's response on this. For the unversed, Kamal Haasan landed in a big controversy recently during the Thug Life audio launch event in Chennai, where he made a statement linking the origins of the Kannada language to Tamil. 'Actor Shivarajkumar is my family living in another state. That's why he is here. That's why when I started my speech, I said 'my life and my family is Tamil'. Your language (Kannada) was born out of Tamil. So you are included in that line," he said. The actor's remarks quickly went viral and triggered backlash from pro-Kannada groups in Karnataka. The film was also banned in Karnataka, and a complaint was also filed against the actor. Later, Haasan also wrote a letter to the Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce (KFCC) and claimed that his comment was 'misinterpreted'. 'It pains me that my statement at the Thug Life audio launch, spoken out of genuine affection for the legendary Dr. Rajkumar's family, especially Shiva Rajkumar has been misunderstood and taken out of context. My words were intended only to convey that we are all one and from the same family and not to diminish Kannada in any way. There is no dispute or debate on the rich legacy of Kannada language," he wrote. First Published:
