The soundtrack for Tarun Mansukhani’s heist thriller Drive (2019) is a slick, electro-pop heavy compilation that relies entirely on a modern, festival-ready aesthetic rather than a traditional narrative-driven score. At the forefront of the album is the massive chartbuster “Makhna,” a sun-soaked vacation anthem masterfully crafted by Tanishk Bagchi that beautifully blends breezy acoustic guitars with a pulsing, deep house bassline and infectious vocals from Yasser Desai and Asees Kaur. Tanishk pivots sharply on “Karma,” delivering a dark, synth-heavy EDM club track driven by Sukriti Kakar’s confident, edgy vocal delivery that mirrors the high-stakes, sleek underground atmosphere of the film. Meanwhile, Amartya Bobo Rahut breaks away from the digital electronic loops with “Prem Pujari,” a quirky, high-energy fusion track where playful acoustic arrangements seamlessly collide with hip-hop verses from GD 47. Together, this trio of standout tracks anchors the soundtrack, making it an incredibly vibrant, dancefloor-friendly album that perfectly captures the fast-paced, glamorous spirit of modern Bollywood pop culture.
