Taali is no doubt ambitiously mounted, but it’s still a largely lackluster and standard package, while in Surili akhiyon wale, Rahat sings something that seriously stereotypes him – it is...

Music review: Raat Gayi Baat Gayi (Hindi – Ankur Tewari)
Love in C Major has a strong allegiance to Friends’ title song; is still a good, bubbly track. Bade shehar tests the patience with a lot of club’by attitude that...

Alisha starts the soundtrack reasonably well with its spunky arrangements and fabulously cool vocals by Anushka and Salim Merchant. Even the title song has a pleasant tune that, without trying...

Rahat is getting typecast and it is clear from the maha-predictable forced-pleasantness of Rishte naate. Gale lag ja works marginally, only because of Javed Ali, but Paisa (by RDB), with...
