Kambikara vetti traverses through two distinct tunes and rhythms and both are engaging, thanks to earthy vocals by VM Mahalingam and Ananthu, besides Thanikkodi’s absorbing folksy lyrics. Appappa is a...

Jil (Music review), Telugu – Ghibran
Man on fire has a fully loaded rock sound, but despite Bianca Gomes’ impressive vocals, the tune is commonplace. Shalmali is scintillating in Jil jil jil; the tune too traverses...

Uzair Jaiswal mildly spruces up his 2010 Tere bin and sings it too, sleepily. The female version is by Tulsi Kumar… period. Amaal Malik’s lone song, Saiyaan superstar, is insipid....

Preme santosham‘s tune is an odd melange, but the composer’s imagination shows through. Sayantram aaruki is a bit more cohesive, with its easily likeable Spanish sound and Senthil Dass singing...
