The obviously Panchamesque title song is too predictable to impress. Aalam guzarne ko is old-school, Anand Milind-styled melody, easy on the ears, while Sonu doing a Mika in Soniye billori...

Music review: Aloo Chaat (Hindi – Assorted Artists)
RDB’s title song is noisy and catchy in true reggaeton sense while Xulfi’s Dadke jiya is the extreme opposite – fairly competent melody with likeable arrangements. RDB’s other contribution, Boliyaan...
Continue reading...Music review: Dhoondte Reh Jaoge (Hindi – Sajid Wajid)
Strangely enough, when Sajid Wajid get Palash Sen to croon the catchy Salma-O-Salma, beyond the rhythmic backgrounds, there’s a strong Euphoria element that seeps in. The title song is frivolous...
Continue reading...Music review: Gulaal (Hindi – Piyush Mishra)
Rahul Ram’s Aarambh is powerful, both in the arrangements and in the incredible selection of words that work with their rich intonation, while Shilpa Rao towers over the soulfully arranged...

Manzaraat works solely due to Shilpa Rao’s vocals and not so much for Justin Uday’s music. The composing duo also give us the spritely Chaal apni and the deep but...

The decidedly item’ish Qaatilaana may be bang on for the skimpily clad woman on the CD, but for the soundtrack, it’s terribly jaded and boring – Sunidhi sleepwalking through yet...
Continue reading...Music review: Jai Veeru (Hindi – Bappa Lahiri)
Bappa Lahiri’s solo composing debut sees him aping Paki rock in Sufi – surprisingly well. This may well have been a Pritam track, but to give credit where it’s due,...

Even though I wouldn’t elevate Dev.D’s soundtrack with the halo’ed 300-word club of Delhi 6, I take back my comment that Dev.D got a 200 word review only because of...

Shreya’s Pahle toh is dull, with a Middle Eastern twang Lalit is known for peddling, while Shaan’s Sehmi sehmi is appreciably better, with a lilting tune – but it remains...
