Rajat Dholakia

Presented with numerous national awards and the composer of over 300 popular jingles, Rajat Dholakia, aka Juku, is a multi-faceted musician and sound designer. While he is primarily self-taught in the field of melodies, his musical routes trace back to a broad spectrum of influences. From Indian classical to Western classical to Gujarati and Hindi film music - Rajat’s harmonic rhythms have left remarkable footprints in all these genres! Currently working on composing Western classical and fusion symphonies, his accolades include the conferring of the National Film Award for the best music director for Dharavi in 1991 and for Sunday in 1992. A committed and dedicated music composer with his feet held firmly on the ground, but talent touching the skies, Rajat Dholakia profoundly navigated his musical path, carrying forward his melodious family legacy. Renowned for his work in Mirch Masala (1987), Holi (1985), and Firaaq (2008), his contribution to Bollywood by introducing Chattisgarhi music is a prominent milestone in both his career and the history of Bollywood music. He also collaborated with the music maestro, A.R. Rahman, on the song ‘Genda Phool’ (Delhi 6, 2009) bringing influences of Chattishgarhi music into the song. Another feather on his musical career cap is his sound design and music contribution to around 8000 commercial and public service films at national and international levels.

Bhargav Purohit

Bhargav’s childhood was filled with the sights and sounds of art. It was during his teen years that he found his true calling in music - a passion that transformed his entire outlook on life.

Bhargav's fervent dedication to storytelling is evident in his lyrics and screenwriting, as he seamlessly translates his narratives to captivate his audience. For him, art is not just an outlet for creative expression, but also a powerful voice that resonates within, empowering him to connect with people on a deeper level.With Abhivyakti Edition 5, Bhargav aims to foster a dialogue between artists and audiences, to create a space where ideas can flourish and creativity can thrive. He wishes to create a space where collaborations between artists result in something unique and innovative, where the boundaries of art are pushed to create something truly spectacular.
