Raw, powerful, edgy and refreshingly different. The new bunch of young, talented and successful composers are changing the way Bollywood makes its music and we listen to it. Comfortable with genre hopping - they experiment with everything from bhangra to electronica to western classical - they are willing to experiment, and dish out music that seems to strike a chord with listeners across.

Given the fact that an unknown Amit Trivedi has composed one of the biggest cult tracks in recent times and a Gaurav Dasgupta has replaced Pritam in Aa Dekeh Zara, these guys are definitely here to stay. [Neil-Bips sizzle in Aa Dekhen Zara]

Amit Trivedi

Talking point: Emosanal Attyachar from Dev.D

Past, present and future: Emosanal Attyachar has become the official heartbreak anthem. It's no longer Saigal's Jab Dil Hi Toot Gaya but Trivedi's Bol Bol Why Did You Ditch Me that broken hearts crooned this Valentine's Day. Nearly two years in the making, Trivedi's 18-track album could be called an exercise in excess - but according to the 29-year-old composer, Dev.D has scope for even more songs. Hailing from an advertising background Trivedi debuted with the haunting score of Aamir. Unlike his contemporaries he believes in keeping it simple, but not at the cost of sacrificing innovation. Post Dev D, Trivedi is hot property, as you can't ignore a guy who helps an Anurag Kashyap film fetch a strong initial.
