Zee Music Company Vishal Mishra keeps coming back to one word: honest.
Ask him about competing with streaming playlists, about his string of Bollywood hits, about writing a love song for a film soaked in violence, and the composer-singer circles back to the same idea: the music has to be true to the moment it was born from, or it isn’t worth making.
That instinct is on full display in “Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups,” Geetu Mohandas‘ gangster saga starring Yash, which arrives in theaters worldwide on Aug. 26. Mishra composed four of the soundtrack’s six songs, sharing the album with Ravi Basrur, Tanishk Bagchi and Faheem Abdullah. It’s his first collaboration with Mohandas and Yash, and he describes it as the product of a creative partnership built on trust rather than a scorecard of credits.
