Mika’s Ding dang ding dang is age-old Punjabi masala repackaged in the same old bottle – predictably boring. Shaan and Monali Thakur’s conversational Nachlay nachlay works only because of the...

Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani (Music review), Hindi – Pritam
Badtameez dil is heady and addictive; Benny rocks with his vocals! Balam pichkari too… foot-tapping holi song with superb singing by Vishal and Shalmali. Ilahi’s guitar-driven sound and children’s chorus...
Continue reading...Go Goa Gone (Music review), Hindi – Sachin Jigar
Talia Bentson’s tantalizing vocals kick-start the heady Slowly slowly, while Jigar takes highly addictive ode to the good, dancy night to new heights! The anti-Monday anthem, Khoon choos le ups...
Continue reading...Gippi (Music review), Hindi – Vishal-Shekhar
The techno-Bhojpuri sound of Baby Doll works fairly well, keeping things adequately throbbing. Vishal delivers the bouncy Pehn di takki in a strangely subdued manner – predictable, but catchy. Shekhar’s...

Mithoon’s contribution, Tum hi ho is absolutely beautiful – Arijit’s solo, the duet with Palak Muchhal and the theme. Ankit Tiwari’s Sunn raha hai too is wonderfully impactful, with superb...

Yaaram is familiar, Vishal Bharadwaj’ish sprawling melody, but is eminently listenable with a scintillating turn in the middle after Gulzar invokes assorted stationery items! Clinton Cerejo rules over the evocative,...
Continue reading...Commando (Music review), Hindi – Mannan Shaah
Lutt jawaan seems utterly staid and templatized, not to mention outdated. Lena dena is no different, despite Daler Mehndi’s adequately hyper enthusiastic vocals – too trite to comment. With a...
Continue reading...I Love NY (Music review), Hindi – Pritam, Falak Shabir and RD Burman
Pritam re-use of a part of Bally Sagoo’s Gud naal ishq mitha is competent – heady Punjabi’ness; Tochi’s version trumps Sukhwinder’s, incidentally! Aao na is more energetic than the usual...
