Remo's affair with Bollywood [as the Indian film industry
calls itself] began with the film Jalwa, for which
he composed a 15-minute marathon improvisation that remains
one of the biggest and most influential hits that Bollywood
has known. Eighteen years later, Indian singers, flautists,
music directors and DJs still follow the path breaking
trends set by Jalwa.
Although
Remo has composed, recorded and sung quite a few other
double-platinum mega-hits in Bollywood since then, producing
his own personal music and albums has always been his
main priority.
