Caught up with Ehsaan Noorani at the new Apple iStore in Jayanagar, today! He’s the first ever composer I’ve met, by the way! Ehsaan was extremely friendly, articulate and was...

Music review: Poo (Tamil – S.S.Kumaran)
The pleasant folk melody of Dheena and the captivating tune of Choo maari open the soundtrack – the former is innately tuneful while the latter has scintillating backgrounds and excellent...
Continue reading...Music review: Nannusire (Kannada – Premji Amaran)
Neenu nanagaagi’s melody is fantastic – that persistent rhythm is addictive and the choice of Karthik and Srinivas works wonderfully. Chitra’s Ninagaagiye is a simple folk melody, rendered hauntingly by...

Lalit Sen’s Khwaishein rings of Euphoria’s Maeri, but Aneek does well in this folk-tinged number. The composer lets the young lad down in his other two tracks though. Jatin Sharma’s...

There’s something distinctly retro about Guru Sharma’s work! While Bhai aa gaya sounds like a terrifying combination of 80s pop and Mika’s brand of rap, Meri yaadon mein has an...
