Ajab Gazabb Love (Music review), Hindi – Sajid Wajid & Tarli Digital
Boom boom boom must be the nth version of Sajid Wajid’s Soni de nakhre from Partner – refuses to work after so many reworks. Tu is straight out of a...

Saiyaan is painfully boring – when will Rahat Fateh Ali Khan get out of this mode? Jaane bhi de, thankfully, is a massive improvement over the average Sajid-Wajid material –...
