Lyrics in cinema

2018-06-15
Hats off to Asif Noorani! So wonderfully written, encapsulating the relevance of lyrics in the music of cinema, both Indian and Pakistani: `Words, words, words` (Dawn, June 10) Sadly, recent years have overhauled the relevance of lyrics in our cinemas. Melody has been given excessive importance, and within melody, rhythms been given the driver`s seat. Therefore, the impact of current songs has by and large travelled south in the human anatomy. From pleasing the heart and head to takingcontrol of our lower limbs: but then art does mirror life to a large extent, doesn`t it? Kudos again.
