Ludo Film Mp3 Song Download

[Numeria Mealer]

Ludois the soundtrack album composed by Pritam to the 2020 Hindi-language Netflix film of the same name directed by Anurag Basu. The film features an ensemble cast of Abhishek Bachchan, Aditya Roy Kapur, Rajkummar Rao, Sanya Malhotra, Pearle Maaney, Pankaj Tripathi, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Rohit Suresh Saraf, Shalini Vatsa, and Inayat Varma. The soundtrack to the film features seven songs, with lyrics written by Sayeed Quadri, Swanand Kirkire, Sandeep Srivatsava and Shloke Lal, and was released on 28 October 2020 by the T-Series record label.[2]

According to the composer and director, the soundtrack is the toughest to compose, as the film is a multi-narrative storyline and needed the song to be suited in the situation. It was composed by Pritam at his own house in Kolkata, during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown in India. Pritam opined that "the songs he has created for the film are simple melodies that give you a break from the edginess and twists and chaos that the film offers".[3]

The album marks the fifth collaboration between Pritam and Anurag Basu, followed by Gangster (2006), Life in a... Metro (2007), Barfi! (2012) and Jagga Jasoos (2017). According to Basu and Pritam, the soundtrack to Ludo is considered to be the toughest albums to crack as "while writing the story of the film, the songs did not come organically, as the film is centered on multiple narratives that conjoin together. As a result, in several sequences the placement of the songs might slow down the screenplay and the tune must be composed according to the situation and pace". In case of Pritam's earlier films with Basu, the songs for the film were composed even before the start of production, since Basu believed that film music might play an integral part in the storyline.[5] The soundtrack was created and composed in entirety during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown in India at Pritam's own house in Kolkata. He stated that "the process of composing the tracks during the lockdown is a difficult task. It took me four days to compose one song for the album, where under normal circumstances, the song composition would take a day's time."[6]

Pritam composed the tune of one song and showcased to the filmmaker during the film's scripting process. Basu liked the track and had decided to use it in one of his future films. When the scripting was ready and the film began production, Anurag Basu asked Pritam to complete the song which he agreed and decided to use the track after the producer Bhushan Kumar's approval.[7] That song eventually became "Hardum Humdum", written by Sayeed Quadri and sung by Arijit Singh. In an interview with Grazia India, Basu stated that the song was initially set to be used for Metro 2, a sequel to the duo's earlier collaboration Life in a... Metro. When the film did not materialise as planned, he used the track to this film.[8]

The film features four songs, however, the soundtrack to the film, consisted of seven songs, with three alternative versions of the tracks. The first song "Aabaad Barbaad", sung by Arijit Singh and written by Sandeep Shrivatsava was released on 21 October 2020, which was picturised on Aditya Roy Kapur and Sanya Malhotra's segment.[11] "Hardum Humdum", also sung by Singh and featuring lyrics written by Sayeed Quadri is the second track from the album, that was released on 25 October. It is a montage track that takes the story forward and binds three narratives together.[12] While, the original version consisted of a duration of 3 minutes, the track was extended to 4 minutes when it was featured in the film.[citation needed] The track also features a female version, sung by Shilpa Rao and additional lines written by Shloke Lal.[12] The track "Meri Tum Ho", sung by Jubin Nautiyal and Ash King, with lyrics written by Sandeep Shrivatsava and Shloke Lal, is pictured on Abhishek's Bachchan segment, showcasing the love for his father and daughter.[5] It was released on 28 October, the same day, the rest of the soundtrack being unveiled.[5] As the film being released on a digital platform, Bhushan Kumar believed that "it is hard for a music albums of films premiering on digital platforms, to get better reach, unlike the soundtracks of theatrically released films", hence Kumar also promoted the soundtrack to the film.[6]

Ludo's soundtrack was mentioned in Mixtape 2020, an article for Film Companion's Year Ender Special, written by author Sankhayan Ghosh.[18] The film's soundtrack was further listed by Devarsi Ghosh in Best of 2020: Hindi music in films and television, a year-ender article for Scroll.in,[19] and in another article written by Amit Gurbaxani about Indian film music in 2020 for Firstpost.[20] "Aabaad Barbaad" was listed in the first position, according to India Today's "Top 10 Bollywood Songs of 2020".[21] "Aabaad Barbaad" was the most streamed song of Apple Music according to a year-ender survey report.[22]

Ludo's origins can be traced to songs written while Andrew Volpe was attending John Burroughs School in Ladue, Missouri. While sitting in his car in the local Schnucks supermarket parking lot after class, Volpe penned songs that would become some of Ludo's first, including their local breakout radio hit "Hum Along."[1] After his sophomore year at Washington University in St. Louis, Volpe formed a band with fellow John Burroughs graduate Dave Heltibrand. Lead guitarist Tim Ferrell joined the band while home on break from the University of Notre Dame.[1] The three adopted the name Ludo after a character in the film Labyrinth.[2]

Heltibrand soon left the band, but lead Volpe and Ferrell continued to play occasionally around St. Louis as an acoustic duo. In 2002, the pair moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma, after Ferrell graduated from Notre Dame and Volpe dropped out of Washington University's music program. Tim Convy, one of Ferrell's friends from St. Louis, was added to the band after Volpe watched him sing with an 80s cover band in Columbia, Missouri. The three men performed together through early 2003, telling audiences they would return in the fall with a rhythm section and an album.

Ludo posted an ad: "Bassist/drummer needed to help take over world." Bassist Marshall Fanciullo drove down to Tulsa from Omaha, Nebraska, to audition in summer 2003, and Matt Palermo left community college in Spring, Texas, to join the band on drums.

After playing together for only three weeks, Ludo recorded and released their self-titled debut album in August 2003 on their own indie label, Redbird Records. The album included several songs written and performed by Volpe's former band, Karate Lunchbox. Ludo's first show as a full band was at a bar in Indianapolis on August 8, 2003. For the next few years, the band toured extensively with other Midwestern bands, including The Dog and Everything, Anything But Joey, Pomeroy and The Primetime Heroes. This exposure brought them moderate indie success.

As Ludo continued touring, they gained a reputation as an exciting live band. They began hosting regular themed concerts at The Pageant in St. Louis, and The Blue Note in Columbia. These include HalLUDOween, A Very Ludo Christmas, and Cinco de Mustache.

In 2005, the band returned to the studio to record the EP Broken Bride, a rock opera about a man who travels backward and forward through time in an attempt to save his wife from dying in a car accident in 1989. The opening track, "Broken Bride: Part 1," was a song that originally stood alone before evolving into the full opera. On the subsequent tour, Ludo would perform Broken Bride in its entirety. The opera proved to be so popular that several stage adaptations have been produced by various colleges and schools.

With increasing popularity, and major label interest, Ludo began touring with larger bands such as Relient K, Motion City Soundtrack, This Providence, House of Heroes, Sing It Loud, The Spill Canvas, and The Presidents of the United States of America.

In October 2006, Ludo signed a five-album deal with Island Records that turned Redbird Records into an Island imprint. Under the deal, the band may release noncommercial material such as Christmas albums or rock operas on the Redbird imprint. In spring 2007, Ludo headed to southern California to record their major label debut with Maroon 5 producer Matt Wallace.

On February 26, 2008, they released their album, You're Awful, I Love You. The album's lead single was "Love Me Dead," a song written in 2004. Love Me Dead had been a fan favorite for years and the band made two music videos for it. The first video was made with fan participation through their website. The second was professionally made. The single received increased exposure when, on July 11, Ludo performed it live on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. "Love Me Dead" was also adapted into a commercial teaser for the show House,[3] and was No. 10 on the No. 1 Alternative Countdown on Fuse the week of August 18, 2008. The increased exposure saw Ludo playing on several well-known tours, shows and festivals, such as Warped Tour,[4] Lollapalooza,[5][6] SXSW,[7] Batfest,[8] and Pointfest.[9]

However, in November 2008, while on tour in Chicago, bassist Marshall Fanciullo was relieved of his duties in the band.[10] No official reason was given for his departure, and Ludo did not hire a permanent bass player to replace him. Several people have filled the bassist slot for tours, including Adam Brooks formerly of Anchondo, and Tommy Cantillon of Tommy and the High Pilots.

In 2009, the band announced that their first two releases, Ludo and Broken Bride, would be re-released through Island.[11] Ludo also undertook a short tour to promote the re-release of "Broken Bride" by again playing the EP in its entirety.[11] On the tour's off-dates, members Tim Ferrell, Tim Convy, and Matt Palermo along with Adam Brooks toured as a side project, "The New Heathers."[12]
