Out of the two songs by Shankar Ehsaan Loy, only Ullu da pattha works, for its casual, rollicking charm, while I love Amreeka gets drowned under its own predictability. Dhruv...

Khatta Meetha (Music review), Hindi – Pritam & Shani
Aila re seems like a raucous homage to Pancham’s Jahan teri yeh nazar hai and works well – Daler and Kalpana Patowary vocals are high on enthusiasm. The Marathi-pop Nana...
Continue reading...Lamhaa (Music review), Hindi – Mithoon
Madno is archetypal Mithoon – Kshitij and Chinmayi infuse life into the predictably soulful tune, while Mika is an unlikely choice for the other version, Saajnaa; he does sound good!...
Continue reading...Milenge Milenge (Music review), Hindi – Himesh Reshammiya
Kuch to baaki hai, apparently, has Himesh’s pre-contortion vocals, which was mildly more tolerable – this is a fairly enjoyable tune! The title song is entirely stale and outdated, while...

KK and Shreya’s silky smooth vocals, along with its breezy tune make Khuda mere khuda a compelling listen! The interludes and minor touches the composers add are quite innovative. Despite...

Pritam’s Bheegi si is surprisingly South Indian, like a time-tested Vidyasagar track – frothy and catchy. Aadesh Shrivastava’s Mora piya is predictable and functionally decent, getting better solely due to...
Continue reading...Bumm Bumm Bole (Music Review), Hindi – Tapas Relia, Azaan Sami & MG Sreekumar
Adnan’s son, Azaan Sami’s title song is foot-tapping in the most predictable manner; uninspired composing debut. Tapas Relia composes 2 tracks, out of which Rang de at least makes some...
Continue reading...Music review: Admissions Open (Hindi – Amit Trivedi)
Aasman ke paar is sure to give Whigfield a complex, with its prosaic dancepop sound. Dariya ubale is where Amit’s DevD roots surface, thankfully – the grungy sound is pitch-perfect....
