Sajnaa apes Euphoria’s earlier folksy tracks, to relatively poor effect. Mere dost is a decent effort for its lyrics and a neat tune, while Gumsum has Palash of yore in full...

Tunak Tunak Tumba (Music review), Indipop – Daler Mehndi
Sheila ho ya munni seems like an attempt to ride on the popularity of the two songs, since tune-wise it falls flat. Tumba, Dum ba dum, Ye adaa, Kann phad...

For a voracious music listener and reviewer now, I didn’t even own a music system (the one that plays cassette tapes) till 1992. That was the year I joined college...

NW1W. Perhaps the first every NW1W for a non-film album on Milliblog. The title could have been ‘How to really maul Hindi film classics’. The idea seems interesting, on paper,...

Abhijit Hegde Patil’s Someone Somebody is blasé; its remix, even more so. George Theofanous’s Mile na tu makes up with some enthusiasm, but fails to make any impact. Sajid-Wajid’s title...

Nila nila poguthae is predictably dulcet and is a pleasant listen as well, thanks to lovely singing by Vijay Prakash and Harini. Na.Muthukumar shines with his verses in Unna kolla...

Thalabadi‘s lively tune carries it through, with generous help from Shankar Mahadevan’s vocals, while Chuttu chuttu‘s simple and catchy tune comfortably sails past the sense of ennui the song creates...
