Based on their recent contributions, continued influence, and anticipated projects, here's a glimpse at ten of India's top music directors likely to be crafting the soundtrack of 2025:
1. A.R. Rahman: The Global Icon
Need we say more? A.R. Rahman's name is synonymous with musical brilliance.

4 & 5. Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy and Vishal-Shekhar: The Powerhouse Duos (Merged Entry)
While technically two separate entities, Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy and Vishal-Shekhar deserve a combined spot due to their enduring influence and collaborative spirit.

Similarly, the legacy of Salim-Sulaiman and the late Wajid Khan (now represented by Sajid Ali) deserves recognition. Salim-Sulaiman's diverse musical palette, ranging from Sufi-inspired melodies to electronic beats, has earned them critical acclaim. Sajid-Wajid, known for their foot-tapping dance numbers and energetic scores, have consistently entertained audiences. Expect both these sibling-led ensembles to continue contributing significantly to the Indian music scene in 2025, albeit with a slightly different dynamic for the latter.
