The much-awaited Season 2 of Netflix’s series ‘Bridgerton’ is all set to drop on March 25 this year and from what we hear, Lady Whistledown has been “sharpening her knives”. The show, which premiered in 2020, went on to become the streaming giant’s one of the most popular series. Along with the show’s steamy premises and shockingly good-looking actors, its music has been a point of discussion.
Show’s creator Chris Van Dusen recently opened up on the songs one can expect to feature in the second season, and as it turns out, there is a strong Bollywood connection. According to details revealed by him in an interview with People.com, Part 2 features a series of popular tracks, including the title track from Karan Johar’s popular film ‘Kabhie Khushi Kabhie Gham’.
The song originally featured Bollywood actors Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Hrithik Roshan, and Kareena Kapoor Khan. The track was originally composed by Jatin-Lalit. Other songs on the list include Miley Cyrus' ‘Wrecking Ball’, Rihanna’s ‘Diamonds’, Pink’s ‘What About Us’, and ‘How Deep Is Your Love’ by Calvin Harris.
Series’ music supervisor, Justin Kamps said in a separate interview, “It’s a first for ‘Bridgerton’, a cover of a Bollywood song called ‘Kabhie Khushi Kabhie Gham’ which I’m really excited about. It’s a beautiful cover.”
Dusen, meanwhile, said each song in the season’s playlist is “incredibly powerful and deeply emotional in its own special way. I always try many different songs for any scene before landing on the perfect one to use. This season, I couldn’t be more thrilled about her musical playlist.”
