The elaborate band performance consisted of numerous instruments, including the clarinet, alto saxophone, flute, trumpet, and more.

The band, named after Coke Studio, first shot to fame in August 2021 after over 30 personnel played the theme music for the James Bond films in an ode to Monty Norman, a noted English singer-composer.

Before this, Khaki Studio has also entertained people by recreating several hit numbers. They have masterfully played everything from Kishore Kumar’s ‘Mere Sapno Ki Rani ‘ to patriotic songs like ‘Aye Watan Tere Liye’, or Italian protest song ‘Bella Ciao’ that was made popular by Netflix series Money Heist.

The Khaki Studio traces its roots to British Raj when the colonial administration set up the Bombay Police Band in 1936. Years later Khaki Studio emerged as the subset of this band.
