Mumbai: Music is vital for the Indian film industry. It is almost impossible to think of an Indian movie that doesn’t have at least one song, where the actors are lip-syncing. Some movies also end up making big box office collections just because of its album. Songs become chart toppers just because of the name of the singers attached to them.

The kind of revenue that the music industry generates for the Indian film industry, has made the artists realise their potential.
