There’s something distinctly retro about Guru Sharma’s work! While Bhai aa gaya sounds like a terrifying combination of 80s pop and Mika’s brand of rap, Meri yaadon mein has an...

Music review: Ru-Ba-Ru (Hindi – Speed of Sound, Sameeruddin & Satyadev Barman)
‘Speed of Sound’ contribute to the trite bhangra version of the title song and an even more boring Tera woh pyar. Sameeruddin’s version of the title song is considerably better...
Continue reading...Music review: Saas Bahu Aur Sensex (Hindi – Randolph Correa, Bipin Panchal & Blaaze)
Randolph Correa’s two tracks – Abhi abhi and Mujh mein nigaah daal are poles apart. The former is a breezy track sung beautifully by Javed Ali with neat vocal effects...

Aping Pritam’s sound, Bekali’s dancy sound is monotonous while Bulle Shah is amateurish, to say the least, despite Irshad Kamil’s interesting lyrics. Jalwa has Shaan mouthing ambitious words in a...
Continue reading...Music review: Karzzzz (Hindi, Himesh Reshammiya)
The Karunesh-styled Lut jaaon, the rhythmic Hari Om and the ghazal-like Dhoom tere ishq ki are the only tracks that warrant just a single listen! The wounds from Himesh’s earlier...

Adnan’s choice of vocalists for Vaada tumse – Pandit Jasraj and Parveen Sultana – is a mixed bag. The tune is quite catchy, but the unconventional voices are not necessarily...
