Bell-Bottom – Music Album

Akshay Kumar’s much awaited movie ‘BellBottom’ is set to launch the return of big A-grade Bollywood movies to the cinemas. Although set in the 1980s, the movie has been shot entirely during the pandemic in 2020 across various locations in India and the UK. The promo looks good and reminds one of Kumar’s spy & thriller movies like ‘Baby’ (2015), ‘Holiday: A Soldier is Never Off Duty’ (2014) and ‘Special 26’ (2013). The retro 80s vibe gives the movie an extra edge and the fact that it is based around true events of hijacking that plagued India gives this film more excitement. But even more exciting is the shocking look of Lara Dutta in the movie who has been transformed with prosthetics into Indira Gandhi. She is unrecognisable as Dutta and spot on as the first woman PM of India. The film also stars Vaani Kapoor & Huma Qureshi in pivotal roles. The music is a mix match of singles of various artists picked by Director Ranjit Tewari. There is not much of go by here and the music in most of Kumar’s thrillers is usually mediocre so we look forward to hearing what is on offer on the soundtrack of ‘Bell Bottom’.
