He looked pretty impressive in VIP with 'minnal oru kodi' and 'Ichankaatula kuyil onnu'...and had played the keyboard for 'Humma humma' in bombay... but where is he now w.r.t TFM?? any idea guys?? I guess he is better than a few MDs in the current TFM scene..

He continues to compose music in Hindi... but only as a ghost composer, for a parasite named Anu Malik!
Inside sources say that he was the one who composed music and interludes for dozens of Anu malik's recent movies including 'Ashoka' and 'Yaadein'. One good liten to the score and you know this news is true!!

BTW, Ranjit made his debut as MD in the much-hyped but mega-flop Shahrukh starrer in the mid-90's called 'Oh Darling! Yeh Hai India', produced and directed by the parallel cinema director Ketan Mehta.

ranjit barot is a credited 'ARRANGER' for most of Anu Malik's new movies..
for movies like Aks, Ashoka, Filhaal etc.
his feel to the arrangement is very evident and he seems to be pretty content with his association with Anu Malik..

It's a pity that a guy with such talents is more content in being with Anu malik rather than rising in the big scene....I'm sure there would be few directors who would want to use this guy as their MD...

Anu Malik is the best. Ranjit complements his musis and they are great as a team.

Ranjit Barot deserves more recognition than HJ..
at least RB doesn't copy ARR as much as HJ...
his VIP....was really good...in fact better than Minnale and 12B ....but why TFM didn't boost his career as they did it for HJ?....

Hi All,
No matter what, HJ is good music director.

So far i bought cd's only (YSR or HJ)

His Oh Darling Yeh Hai India is one of the films with worst music (even by Hindi FM standards) . They called it songs but none of them sounded like one.

Ranjit Barot is a drummer, who was brought up in London, UK, highly trained in Rhythm and Melody. He worked extensively with AR Rahman in his early work, up-to and after VIP. As one may have notices, ARR's stndards have dropped a lot since he and Harris Jeyaraj left him. They did a lot of the arrangements, chord progressions and Ranjit, in particular did a lot of the wonderful and rich Rhythm programming, we used to see from ARR.
As one can see, Anu Malik - who has no talent of his own is showing great improvement these days, solely due to the fact that Ranjit's genius is working behind the scenes.

"India’s most renowned drummer." - That is in the NORTH - they forgot to mention Sivamani.
The son of veteran Kathak dancer, Sitara Devi, Ranjit had his own set of drums by the age of fourteen and at sixteen, started playing professionally with jazz king, Louis Banks. That was followed by playing abroad and then, coming back home and composing jingles for commercials. And of course, the score of ‘Oh Darling Yeh Hai India’."
He did 1 piece on Fiza too.
U can read his interview on:
