Ismail Darbar makes a comeback

Legendary music composer Ismail Darbar, known for churning soulful and melodious compositions in the past, will now be returning with the highly anticipated upcoming film Bhoomi starring Sanjay Dutt. 

Ismail, who marks his return to the Hindi film industry after five years, will be giving the background score for Omung Kumar’s Bhoomi. He had last given the music for Subhash Ghai’s Kaanchi.

When Ismail was asked about what has taken him so long, he says, “I wait for the right film to come along. When I saw the rushes of Bhoomi, I was so touched and I told Sandeep Singh (producer) and Omung Kumar (director) that I would do the background score. I have known the two for more than 15 years and they understand the kind of movies I enjoy giving the music for. Music is my soul, it’s in my blood and Bhoomi touched the right chord.”
