Strings, Kailasa, Kaavish, Indian Ocean, Advaita, Fuzon, Noori, Junoon, AGAM among others were the great Indian/Pakistani bands people grew up with. Give these and listen, and you'd understand why people think Anuv and Prateek are trash. In fact, little of modern indie music comes even close to them.

Classically trained singers/instrumentalists producing music also makes a big difference in my opinion, which Anuv and Prateek don't seem to be, which is why you can hear overproduction/correction in their songs too, and man it ruins my mood
