Now, his music score for The Sky is Pink aims to touch the hearts of audiences around the world.
Speaking on the music score of the film, Mikey shares, “The many nuanced emotions of this film made composing the music a huge challenge. It’s a really strong and moving film so I’ve given my all to create the music it deserves. A lot of the pieces are played on more intimate global folk instruments. The main theme is hummed by a young girl. Overall I would say the music was uplifting, acoustic, melodic and soulful without being overly sentimental or melodramatic.”
Having composed music for Bollywood films like Margarita with a Straw, Befikre, Waiting, Shaitan, Shanghai, David, Nautanki Saala, Shaadi Ke Side Effects and Shaandaar, Mikey has worked with some of the biggest names in the industry and carved a niche for himself.
