Noted screenwriter-lyricist Javed Akhtar says today filmmakers use songs in movies as an obligation for revenue and not as a narrative tool because they are "embarrassed" about it. Akhtar, who has penned lyrics for some of the biggest soundtracks of Hindi cinema from Silsila (1981), Kal Ho Na Ho to Gully Boy (2019), said fast-paced storytelling has directly impacted the songs in a film.
