Arijit Singh charges a WHOPPING Rs 2 crore for a live show; composer Monty Sharma recalls the singer's early days
Arijit Singh has become the voice of love and longing in modern Bollywood. From romantic ballads to emotional tracks, his songs always strike a chord with fans. But while his soulful music continues to win hearts, there's one question many people have quietly wondered, how much does Arijit Singh earn for one live performance? Now, music composer Monty Sharma has answered it. In a recent chat with Lallantop, he shared how much Arijit Singh really charges for a show, and it's a jaw-dropping number. Music industry money has changed completely Monty Sharma, who has worked in the industry for years, spoke about how music budgets and earnings have changed with time. He explained how affordable music production once was. "Everything has evolved over a period of time. Earlier, we used to make a complete song for Rs 2 lakh. This included an entire orchestra, which included 40 violins and a lot of other things. Eventually, when I created a brand name for myself after a couple of my works did well, I started to charge Rs 35,000 per song, irrespective of the other expenses included to make a song. ' Arijit Singh charges Rs 2 crore for a performance While speaking about changing trends, Monty revealed, Arijit Singh now charges Rs 2 crore for a single live performance. 'When Arijit used to come and sit with me, he used to sit for 6 hours straight. Now, he charges Rs 2 crore for a performance, for a show. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The boy meets a dog on the street - no one expected what happened next.

YouTube and OTT changed everything Monty also explained why music earnings have grown so big in recent years. Thanks to the rise of digital platforms, singers and composers now have a wider reach than ever before. He explained, 'Earlier, people used to hear songs on the Radio or on television; now, people have it on YouTube. So now the exposure has increased. With the emergence of OTT and YouTube, the money is humongous.' But even with more money in the system, Monty pointed out that music companies still take most of the profits. He added, 'So if I am doing a song for 15-20 lakhs, 90% of the rights audio company takes it. They are the ones making mad money right now.' Who is Monty Sharma? Monty Sharma is no stranger to big Bollywood moments. He first grabbed attention with his music arrangements in 'Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam', especially the track 'Nimbuda'. That's where director Sanjay Leela Bhansali noticed his work. He went on to compose background music for 'Devdas' (2002) and 'Black' (2005), both of which got him critical praise. He later made his full debut as a music director with 'Saawariya' (2007), also a Bhansali film.

Are BTS clips ruining our movie viewing experience?
Photos of (L-R) Emily Blunt, Anne Hathaway & Meryl Streep have flooded social media from The Devil Wears Prada 2 shoot in NYC In 2006, The Devil Wears Prada captivated audiences with its fresh, unspoiled charm. Now, as The Devil Wears Prada 2 shoots in New York, set photos of Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, and Emily Blunt are already flooding social media. This has prompted fans on X to lament the loss of surprise. What was once a stylish spectacle unveiled in the theatre is now pre-digested content. This flood of behind-the-scenes (BTS) material raises a larger question: is the magic of cinema being eroded by its own marketing machine? The chroma key problem Visual-effects-heavy films also suffer from overexposure. Dune (2021) used sand-colored 'sandscreens' instead of green to better match Arrakis's lighting. Deadpool & Wolverine relied on blue screens for multiverse sequences. Despite Marvel's usual misdirection, leaks of green screen footage dulled the impact of big reveals. Fans on social media stress that the illusion of epic scale can't survive if audiences have already seen the BTS BTS snap from Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning BTS or on-screen magic: What's more important? 'It's cool to know that Tom Cruise did the stunts himself' In Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, Tom Cruise performed 16 parachute jumps. But a BTS featurette released pre-film spoiled the moment for many. 'It's not cool because it's a surprise — it's cool because he's actually doing the stunt,' said one Redditor, though others felt the reveal deepened their appreciation. The illusion of drama unraveled Emotional peaks are dulled by early reveals. In Heads of State, MI6 agent, played by Priyanka Chopra, is seen in a high-stakes scene at Spain's Tomatina Festival – but it was filmed in France using fake tomatoes and skin-safe jelly. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 3/4 BHK Flats ₹1.65 Cr onwards Honer Signatis Book Now Undo Such details don't make for immersive viewing.

The skilled crew made it look so real –Priyanka Chopra on the dramatic Tomatina Festival opening scene Artiste vs algorithm Not everyone mourns the mystery. Eshan Bose, an action movie fan from Kolkata, feels the tension is gone. 'When you already know how the stunt's done, it kills the moment. You admire the logistics, not feel the thrill,' he says. Aratrick Bhadra, a budding filmmaker, disagrees. 'Cinema isn't ruined by spoilers — it's elevated by curiosity,' he explains.
