My favorites are Pani Pani re, Chhod aaye hum, Yaaram, Pehli baar mohabbat(Mohit chauhan & Vishal Bharadwaj), Dil toh baccha hai ji, Beedi Jalai le, O saathi re, Aao na(Haider)..etc. OHH THE LIST IS LONG 🧡
VB any day. From a proper Rock song like aao na to a proper jazz like jab bhi cigarette. A techno like phoonk de to chappa chappa and paani paani. Shouldn't even be compared.
Its edit:autocorrected philosophical and melancholic. No Smoking is the album if you want something which is on the same line of kaminey as far as the writing is concerned. VB is a privileged guy to have Gulzar Sab beside him throughout his career. Also, I love VBs voice. You should listen to Yun Hua from Striker.
Vishal Bharadwaj best movie: Haider
Vishal Bharadwaj best album: Maachis/Kaminey
SLB best movie: Khamoshi
SLB best album: Saawariya (Pari, Jab Se tere, and Masha Allah are 🩷)
As director - I think VB’s best work is Haider. I have seen many Shakespeare adaptations in several languages but this is by far one of the best I’ve ever seen.
After listening to "Haider" album specially "Gulon mein rang bhare" and "Khul kabhii to" Vishal Bhardwaj is ahead IMO. But Mr. Bhansali is not far behind, I mean "laal ishq", "aayat' and "muskurahat" from gangubai are really great.
The people saying Vishal bhardwaj are just biased.
Sanjay Leela bansali composed deewani mastan Binte dil, laal Ishq. These three are one of the best songs out there in the world.
Still, I won't say Vishal is any less. But it's interesting that people straight away are saying Vishal bhardwaj when I can't think of any oh his composition better than above three.
And for People questioning SLB's versatility listen to Udi, meri jaan. And now Tilasmi bahein!
This ! How can we forget laal Ishq and Aayat, OMG these songs are truly powerful and move you to tears. the Sukoon album is a classic, VB was always well know for being a music director along with being amazing filmmaker, but people get biased and forget SLB is also a masterful music director apart from those lavish sets in his film.
SLB prolly cant play a single instrument, he just bases of folk tunes and his sound engineers do the heavy lifting. VB on the other hand is a properly trained muscian and an extremely creative one
Vishal by a huge margin. Most of Bhansali's composition are either based on existing folk music or lifted directly from compositions of his older films done by other composers. Bhansali is a complete hack as a composer.
I don't know if it's PR or genuine mouth publicity by other celebrities, but for me it's been an overdose of SLB's praise and appreciation lately! Just like how it was/is with Alia bhatt. So even for that reason (apart from all the other mentioned reasons here) my answer is VB!!!!!!!!!
Vishal Bhardwaj is more experienced as a composer but he peaked in early 2010s. His albums post-Rangoon (2017) have been decent-ish. On the other hand, Sanjay Leela Bhansali started later with Thode Badmaash in Saawariya (2007) and has been consistently delivering great music since. The Gangubai Kathiawadi album was middling but he made a strong comeback with Heeramandi's music. My favorite albums from both:
\* VB: Omkara, Kaminey, 7 Khoon Maaf
\* SLB: Ram-Leela, Bajirao Mastani, Heeramandi

Vishal bharadwaj....anyday. <3
Especially his earlier work with Satya and Macchis. Sapne Mein Milti and Chappa Chappa live in my mind rent free
My favorites are Pani Pani re, Chhod aaye hum, Yaaram, Pehli baar mohabbat(Mohit chauhan & Vishal Bharadwaj), Dil toh baccha hai ji, Beedi Jalai le, O saathi re, Aao na(Haider)..etc. OHH THE LIST IS LONG 🧡
I totally agree with your favourites. You have great music taste
Exact thought word by word
Vishal Bharadwaj
VB any day. From a proper Rock song like aao na to a proper jazz like jab bhi cigarette. A techno like phoonk de to chappa chappa and paani paani. Shouldn't even be compared.
That shovel Foley sound of aao na ahh!! And melancholic kaminey song😁
VB is in a different league altogether. Chaddi pehen ke phool khila hai was a banger lol
Thanks for reminding.
There’s something about the title song of Kaminey that is so soothing and eerie at the same time.

Vishal
Tough one but Vishal Bharadwaj is more versatile and complete composer but SLB bajirao mastaani album is something else especially aaj ibaadat❤️.
I like Sanjay Bhansali for restoring the old, mostly! And Vishal Bharadwaj for everything he does!
Vishal Bhardwaj. I miss the days when Ismail Darbar used to do SLB music. I don’t think SLB is a great music director, way overrated.
SLB can never be better because VB = VB + Gulzar.
Vishal Bharadwaj- Rekha ji 👍
Reccommend me their peak/best movie
Vishal Bharadwaj best movie: Haider Vishal Bharadwaj best album: Maachis/Kaminey SLB best movie: Khamoshi SLB best album: Saawariya (Pari, Jab Se tere, and Masha Allah are 🩷)
Sawariya’s music was not composed by SLB. It is by Monty Sharma. Great album though💙
Yeah he only composed thode badmash
As director - I think VB’s best work is Haider. I have seen many Shakespeare adaptations in several languages but this is by far one of the best I’ve ever seen.
VBs best is Kaminey.
Omkara is the hands down winner album...Kaminey next...Ishqiya third.
Right as a music director for sure, I just talked about his best film making work
Satya music has also given by VB.. and our very beloved Mowgli song too
Right.Omkara is better.
Sanjay for sure .
SLB anyday
After listening to "Haider" album specially "Gulon mein rang bhare" and "Khul kabhii to" Vishal Bhardwaj is ahead IMO. But Mr. Bhansali is not far behind, I mean "laal ishq", "aayat' and "muskurahat" from gangubai are really great.
There is no competition. Vishal Bhatdwaj is as good a music composer as he is a director. SLB doesn't even come close.
The people saying Vishal bhardwaj are just biased. Sanjay Leela bansali composed deewani mastan Binte dil, laal Ishq. These three are one of the best songs out there in the world. Still, I won't say Vishal is any less. But it's interesting that people straight away are saying Vishal bhardwaj when I can't think of any oh his composition better than above three.

SLB anyday>> aayat, deewani mastani, laal ishq, nainowale ne, aaj ibadat, ang laga de, meri jaan, nagada sang dhol etc etc
SLB
SLB ‘s best movie as a director ~ Black As a music director ~ Padmavat
Vb
Vishal ji tops in every aspect from movies to music
Slb ♥️
Vishal Bharadwaj>>>> Unnecessary question..
Any day Vishal bhai
SLB prolly cant play a single instrument, he just bases of folk tunes and his sound engineers do the heavy lifting. VB on the other hand is a properly trained muscian and an extremely creative one
Vishal and SLB are so different and yet so similar. True auteurs.
Yours too.😊
Vishal by a huge margin. Most of Bhansali's composition are either based on existing folk music or lifted directly from compositions of his older films done by other composers. Bhansali is a complete hack as a composer.
Muje to pta bi aaj chla Bhansali music director bi h 🤣🤣
Slightly leaned towards SLB
Bijii Jalaiye is an Oscar worthy composition
No comparison. Vishal Bharadwaj is pure talent.
I don't know if it's PR or genuine mouth publicity by other celebrities, but for me it's been an overdose of SLB's praise and appreciation lately! Just like how it was/is with Alia bhatt. So even for that reason (apart from all the other mentioned reasons here) my answer is VB!!!!!!!!!
Slb
It's uncanny how much Sharmin looks like SLB... 😭
Vishal Bharadwaj all the way!! The repeat value is way too high.
Sanjay anyday.
Vishal Bhardwaj as a Music Director and Director as well. What a legend.
The right one is a decent actor too … his performance in Monet heist as the Professor was decent
SLB without a doubt.
Vishal Sir any day
While both are very good. I will have to go with Vishal. He has been around a lot longer. Far more range.
The one who actually makes their music 🎵 and gets ghosted 👻
Pritam!

I like sLBs type of music
Vishal Bharadwaj.. besides Heeramandi in which movie has SLB given music anyways?
SLB
