Phule composers Rohan-Rohan discuss the challenges of creating music for a film set in the 1800s while also catering to contemporary music listeners

Set to release on April 11, Pratik Gandhi and Patralekhaa-starrer Phule is touted to be a film that dives deep into the relationship shared by Mahatma Jyotirao Phule and Savitribai Phule, who campaigned for increased rights for the underprivileged. Composers Rohan Pradhan and Rohan Gokhale, popularly known as Rohan-Rohan, who crafted the songs and the score of Ananth Mahadevan’s directorial venture, wanted their work to serve as the catalyst that put the deep understanding shared by the characters on a pedestal.
“[The music] dwells on how Mahatma Jyotirao Phule and Savitribai Phule were together in their journey—sharing responsibilities and challenges. It’s an expression of lasting love, and the lyrics don’t only talk of romance, but also discuss companionship,” says Gokhale, adding that considering the fact that the film is set in the 1800s, the composer-duo had to work hard to create a sonic palette that did justice to the era while still being relevant to music listeners of this day and age.
