FC Gold 2023 Winner: Amit Trivedi| Jubilee

Not once, but thrice, Amit Trivedi's music has lifted Vikramaditya Motwane's artistry into the realm of the sublime, with the climax of Udaan (2010), Lootera (2013), and now Jubilee. The last 10 minutes of the show, where the whole studio is melancholically dismantled and the respective arcs end in despair/disrepair, plays out to 'Saare Ke Saare Akele', an ode to Kaagaz Ke Phool's 'Dekhi Zamane Ki Yaari', also shot in a studio that is turned into a khandar, yearning for a more glittering past. This productive tension, between being original and paying an ode, is something Trivedi manages with much enthusiasm in the Jubilee album.
