From the promos, Om mangalam by RDB sounded mundane, but ironically, that is the best track of the soundtrack. And, it’s merely a passable track inspired no doubt by Singh...

Music review: Jashn (Hindi – Sharib-Toshi, Nouman Javaid & Sandesh Shandilya)
Toshi-Sharib’s Aaye re and Nazrein karam play out full and punchy – KK’s ever-dependable vocals belting out confident winners in, surprisingly, Lalit Sen style. Aish karle is catchy, with very...
Continue reading...Music review: Morning Walk (Hindi – Jeet Ganguly)
Aasmaan choona has Pritam’s trademark written all over – except for Shaan singing in place of KK; wonderful track, handled very well by Jeet. The 2 fusion tracks alternate in...
Continue reading...Music review: New York (Hindi – Pritam, Pankaj Awasthi & Julius Packiam)
KK’s Hai junoon is perfect sing-along material in true Pritam tradition. And KK can never go wrong with such numbers. The same thing can be said about Mere sang, but...

Khuda ke liye is typical Roxen material, propped remarkably well by Mustafa Zahid’s vocals and the slow, ballad-like build-up of the tune. Pyaasi machuriya is crass all the way –...

Ashutosh’s two songs – Raja Hassan-sung Delhi Destiny, that follows a monotonous drill barring the lively lyrics and the Shaan-sung Kal ki tarah, that breezes past faster than you expect...

Despite the ambient mood set by its ominous backgrounds, Bohemia’s I got the picture is mostly contrived – tries too hard to fit a Hindi track in an alien format…and...
Continue reading...Music review: Ek – The Power of One (Hindi – Pritam & DJ Phukan)
Ek is a rather unusual soundtrack – it has 4 tracks, out of which 3 are composed by Pritam and the 4th is a recreation of a traditional Punjabi folk...
Continue reading...Music review: Straight (Hindi – Sagar Desai & Louis Banks)
Straight is singer Suraj Jagan’s show all the way – there’s no other vocalist mentioned in the CD! Composer Sagar Desai gets it right fabulously in the Roxy Music-styled Saanson...
