If you’re over the age of 30, this piece may serve as a rude awakening. Roped in to compose the score for Nadaaniyan, Ibrahim Ali Khan and Khushi Kapoor’s love saga that released online on Friday, Tushar Lall was tasked with scoring for a generation he couldn’t entirely comprehend. “At one point in the film, the characters are seen soft-launching each other on Instagram. Now, I don’t know what soft-launching is,” he says, quick to add, “because I’m in my 20s now.” It takes us a moment to comprehend that Lall isn’t being sarcastic. “If I turn 29, and there is a 20-year-old around me, it’s highly possible that a generational gap will exist because he has grown up with abundant information and access to social media,” he reasons, adding, “There are a lot of things in the film that I did not know exist today [among Gen Z].”
