Mumbai: Saif Ali Khan says there was a time when music acted as a catalyst in making a film successful, but the actor is unsure if the formula still works.
The 47-year-old actor, who had musical hits in films such as Hum Tum, Salaam Namaste and Cocktail, said experimental phase Bollywood is going through has somewhat diluted the significance of song-and-dance routine.
"The films would even get big opening if the songs were a hit. As we have grown or changed, there is less and less songs. I don't know if it is a good thing (or not).In the outskirts of India and rural areas, and in cabs, people listen to Hindi music a lot. I think part of hero's charm is to sing songs. I don't know if we have lost that culture (or not)," Saif said.
The actor was speaking at the launch of 'Swagpur Ka Chaudhary' song from his upcoming film Kaalakaandi.
"It is a great song. When we do a film, we need music to promote it and make it more interesting," he added.
