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.

Music is an ethereal and artistic medium, when it merges with other forms of arts it results into an amazing and an inseparable aesthetic form - this is a reality. On the other hand, fact also remains that gradually over years music has been extensively commercialised, and it continues to happen. Today, we need to think and understand music beyond the predefined notion which is not-limited by set notions of market. Let's understand and imagine music not In terms of scale, raga, taal, aarohi-avrohi, makm, improvisation but as an event and occasion. Let us reimagine music as an event or an occasion in which diverse cultures, languages, eras, dialects, free thoughts - all come together to become an expression - an imagination - a reality - a story and a new paradigm. Lets accept music as an extension of self. And with this understanding let us endeavour to create, to learn and to enjoy.
