Bollywood’s Music Crisis: Why Arijit Singh Blamed?

Arijit Singh has become the soundtrack to almost every emotion you feel—joy, heartbreak, or romance. His voice fits every mood and moment. But that’s exactly what has started to bother many listeners.

Fans say there’s simply too much of Arijit Singh everywhere. They feel his voice has become repetitive and overused across Bollywood, making songs sound alike.

Once, different singers matched different actors, giving each film its unique sound. Abhijeet Bhattacharya was known for Shah Rukh Khan, Shaan for Saif Ali Khan, and Udit Narayan for Aamir Khan. That connection made songs feel personal and alive.

Playback singers once studied the actors they sang for—how they moved, felt, and expressed themselves. That attention gave songs an emotional touch and made them memorable.

Now, with Arijit’s voice used for almost every actor, that uniqueness has faded. The distinct identities of film characters and their voices seem lost in the process.

Some fans defend Arijit, saying he isn’t at fault. They believe the problem lies with composers who keep creating short-lived, “reel-friendly” music instead of timeless melodies.

Even the best singer sounds repetitive when overexposed. When every song starts blending into the next, audiences stop paying attention.

It’s time Bollywood takes a step back and brings in fresh voices. You deserve music that surprises you again, not the same tune in a new film.
