Indian playback singing

Indian playback singing is a prominent feature of the Indian film industry, where singers record songs that are later dubbed over the actors’ performances in movies. This form of singing enables the expression of emotions and storytelling through music without requiring actors to sing on-screen. Playback singers, often highly trained, lend their voices to a variety of musical styles, contributing significantly to the film's appeal. Notable playback singers like Lata Mangeshkar and Kishore Kumar have become iconic figures in Indian music, enhancing the cinematic experience with their vocal talents.
