Benny’s fabulous in the pensive melody, Tu meri dost; the contoured tune and nuanced orchestration works well. Beyond the instantly catchy facade, Shano is simplistically pop, while the lilting Tu...

Music review: Cheenti Cheenti Bang Bang (Hindi – Jeet)
The RD Burmanesque and Bengali sounding Cham cham catches attention for its breathless pace and tune while Joy sings the Latino-styled Chirongo pitti amazingly well! The short Baje Bigul is...
Continue reading...Music review: Heroes (Hindi – Sajid Wajid & Monty)
Sajid Wajid regurgitate their assembly-line Punjabi music in the mellow Mannata and the so-called dancy Makhna – Sonu and Sukhwinder going through the drill respectively in these archaic tracks. Monty’s...

Continue reading...Music review: Fashion (Hindi – Salim Sulaiman)
The cheekily titled Fashion ka jalwa has a calculated catchiness with the right tempo to go with it, while Shruti Pathak’s throaty crooning in Mar jawaan is brilliantly appropriate even...

The title song has an intriguing structure which the composer reigns in admirably – his unconventional voice only adds to the novelty. Khushi’s jazz appeal is overshadowed by the ambling...
