Chori kiya has a simple tune, simpler arrangements; perfect rhyme from last century. Dabangg theme is full-on Latino masti, with smart dialogs too, while Humka peena hai seems to have...

We Are Family (Music review), Hindi – Shankar Ehsaan Loy
There is an overriding soul-style sound in this soundtrack that seems very appealing. It’s more pronounced in the piano-laden Reham O Karam, that starts blissfully serene before escalating its notes,...
Continue reading...Hello Darling (Music review), Hindi – Pritam
Pritam’s remix of the Inteqam classic, Aa jaane jaan is bland and unidimensional despite Javed Jaffrey’s desperate attempts to infuse some life. Attrah baras ki is straight out of a...
