KK’s Aksar is all Pritam. The structure, the choice of KK, the ‘O Oh oo’ humming… everything. But, to be fair to the debutant composer pair, the track has an...

C Kkompany (Hindi, Anand Raj Anand & Bappa Lahiri)
The title song is unintentionally funny too – because it dares to be the title song and gets Sanjay Dutt to utter a few sentences. But composer Anand Raj Anand...

The title song is beyond mere blasphemy, since it ventures into completely incoherent cacophony, dragging with it a memorable line that we Indians hold dear! Anu shows flashes of his...

As a recent convert to Coldplay, the one thing that captivated me in their new album was the sheer range of sounds! I may not be experientially qualified to comment...

Watching WALL•E, I had a familiar epiphany. That films across the globe talk of things very universal. WALL•E briefly sojourning Eve when she’s amnesiac (ahem, directives, you see!) is straight...
