The composer talks about working in a Lal Jose movie and the kind of music he loves to make
Composer Justin Varghese is all set for a cracking Christmas with two of his films, Meow and Ajagajantharam releasing in theatres this week.
“It is an exciting phase as these films fall into different genres. Meow is a family drama and has a soundscape that complements the theme while Ajagajantharam has a fast-paced narrative with foot-tapping tracks,” says Justin, over phone from Kochi. Ajagajantharam, directed by Tinu Pappachan releases on December 23 and Meow, helmed by veteran Lal Jose, releases on December 24.
“A Lal Jose movie was totally unexpected; he has directed some of the finest works in Malayalam cinema. Also, his films always have good music and he is among the best when it comes to picturising songs. So I was under pressure to give my best work. He understood that predicament and told me to do the songs the way I liked it,” says Justin.
