Pritam

Grew up learning guitar at his father's music school in Kolkata, which somehow led to a Bollywood career where he'll do Sufi in one film and ghazal rhythms in the next without missing a beat. Dhoom in 2004 is what really put him on the map, and 2024 finally brought him his first National Award, for Brahmastra. If a song's stuck in your head this year, decent odds it's his.
