In the dazzling world of cinema, where dreams are stitched with music, vision, passion, and relentless ambition, only a few voices speak about the truths that lie beneath the glamour. One such voice is that of renowned music composer and director Raaj Aashoo, whose work has touched millions, and whose journey through the unpredictable tides of the film industry has taught him some of its deepest wisdoms.
In a candid reflection, Raaj Aashoo says, “Rise then fall, fall and rise again… this is the pattern of the film industry. Anyone who aligns with this rhythm can survive here with ease.”
These words are not poetic lines—they are a lived reality for every artist who has stepped into the emotional, competitive, and ever-evolving universe of cinema.
Raaj explains that the industry operates like an ocean—sometimes calm, sometimes wild, but never predictable. One day you may experience an extraordinary rise: a hit song, a viral video, a project that changes everything. The next day, the wave may dip, silence may arrive, and projects may slow down. And just when it feels like stillness may last forever, a new opportunity rises again like a fresh tide, carrying you further than before.
This cycle is not an exception—it is the nature of the film industry.
Raaj further says ,”Ego Is the Quickest Way to Sink”. While being asked about his down to earth nature and his consistency of remaining grounded, he shares that many people enter the industry with the belief, “I am the best.” However, the film industry is the greatest teacher of humility. The moment a person thinks they know everything, life introduces them to someone who knows more. Creativity, he says, is unlimited. No one can ever claim mastery over it.
According to Raaj Aashoo, the artists who thrive in the long run are not the ones who fear failure or chase constant success—they are the ones who align themselves with the natural rhythm of the industry by staying grounded during success, by staying patient during silence, by staying committed during struggle, by staying humble always.
Raaj further adds, “The rise is meant to inspire, the fall is meant to sharpen, the rise after the fall is meant to transform, we all have gone through it.”
Raaj Aashoo’s message to every artist is deeply motivational:
“The industry doesn’t break you; it shapes you. If you learn to flow with its waves, success is not just possible—it is guaranteed.”
His journey stands as testimony that in the film industry, one does not merely rise once.
You rise, you fall, and then you rise again—each time, stronger than before.
