Kuljit Bhamra’s original and passionate musical score for The Winter of Love left many wanting more from this versatile composer. Since creating the music for the film, Kuljit has gone on to create music for Bombay Dreams, The Far Pavilions and King Cotton. He has also appeared in films such as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Guru and The Far Pavilions.
“Writing the score and recording the music for the film was a memorable and rewarding experience for me – one that will forever remain fresh in my mind – for two reasons. Firstly, much of the filming took place in my hometown Southall at locations that I used to frequent as a young teenager. The second reason is that I was thrilled when the director/writer Shakila Taranum Maan presented me with a script that had nothing to do with Bhangra, Bollywood or any other cliché /comic representations of British Asian culture. I was pleased that having already produced over 2000 Bhangra and Punjabi dance tracks, I had met someone who was confident that I could do her ‘serious’ film justice. (I also believed that I could).”
The soundtrack for The Winter of Love is due for release on Keda Records on 1st March 2011.
