Sonu Nigam’s return and voice forgot Bollywood
Sonu Nigam makes a powerful comeback in Bollywood, reviving the magic of Melody that the industry has been missing for years. With ‘Bijuria’ and ‘Pardesia’ striking gold, one thing is clear: the corporation is and will always be irreparable.
The Bollywood playback scene seems to have finally woken up from a long, self-stunned slamb. For years, Sonu Nigam – the man who is known for his voice, who expresses love, heart break, and dedication to an entire generation – was strangely missing from the soundscape of the mainstream. But 2025 is writing a new story. a better.
With ‘Pardesi’ and Climb ‘Bijuria’ chartBreaking into reels, and adding fan nostalgia in age groups, Bollywood has remembered something that should never be forgotten in the first place: Nigam’s timeless, almost God -like voice, which is a part of the collective memory of India.
Nigam’s Hindi songs since the 90s – ‘Yeh Dil’, ‘Sandase AAT Hain’, ‘Deewana Tera’, ‘Ab Muje Rat Deen’ – are cultural markers for an entire generation who grew up in romantic Hindi songs. His voice borne Kishore Kumar’s happiness and irresponsible, while SP Balasubrahmanam discovered the depth and maturity of someone like Balasubrahmanam. The Nigam was always a complete package. He brought a sense of entertainment and emotion, and did not even require music to return them – the voice alone was enough.
And yet, somewhere on the way, the film industry stopped accepting the importance of Nigam’s voice. As an unfamiliar silence has surrounded Bollywood’s soundscape, the passion with remix increased to ten times and auto-tuned Bengers shrink the creative range, making the Nigam much less space for the versatility of the Nigam. Let us also do not start discussing dependence on Arijit Singh.
Singh, with all his talent and a divine voice like any other, seems to have become an easy pitch of Bollywood for every big commercial entertainer, his voice for everything is romantic, heartbreaking and even fickle. The most soft silk in their singing is the cleverness and the bright pearl shine – the subtle yet striking. But that is no replacement for the Nigam. Industry’s dependence on it and some others have given a twist of one-tone soundscape, where every song seems the same and highlights the same mood.
With ‘Pardesia’ and ‘Bijayuria’, which can mark the beginning of a new romantic era in Hindi music, Bollywood is recovering one of its biggest treasures.

It is also important to note that the Bollywood Magic of the 90s trusted a lot on the voice of the Nigam, Jean-Z never really felt deprived of his singing. Even if Bollywood stopped using them in playback, social media ensured that their songs were never written. This is the reason why ‘Kaal Ho Na Ho’, ‘Abhi Muj Meen Kahin’ and ‘Suraj Hua Saidham’ are still qualified as background scores for countless viral Instagram reels. If you see it, it is actually a moment of homecoming for Bollywood music.
‘Bijuria’ and ‘Pardesia’ proves that the Nigam’s golden voice pulls the generationsA mixture of energy, raga and intimacy can be felt in these new hits. His quick popularity is also a will for the fact that true artistry never goes out of style.

Today and the re -discovered Nigam, whose voice is probably in the same Pantheen, such as legends such as Kishore Kumar, Mohammad Rafi, Manna Dey or Lata Mangeshkar, is like finding a treasure again which we had separated and forgotten.
If someone feels bold, it should be said: Nigam never needed Bollywood. And the opposite is definitely not true.
