The trio treat Prasoon’s adorable words extraordinarily well in the title song – glittering music and a truly effervescent tune flow. Raman Mahadevan’s guitar-led Kholo takes the feel further, Shankar...

Khoya khoya chaand (Hindi – Shantanu Moitra)
Lyricists Swanand Kirkire and Ajay Jhingran belt out the ebullient, folksy title song, superby supported by Shantanu’s lively backgrounds. Though a bit stereotyped the composer creates interesting filmy-jazz in Yeh...
Continue reading...Dhan dhana dhan Goal (Hindi – Pritam)
Billo Rani is crowd-pleasing alright, but is also a tad too hackneyed techno-qawali. Neeraj Shridhar however scores big time in the very rhythmic and groovy, Pritam-trademark, Ish ka kalma. Hey...
Continue reading...Dus Kahaniyaan (Hindi – Gourov Dasgupta, Bappa Lahiri, Shafqat Ali Khan & Anand Raaj Anand)
Dus and Jaaniya are loaded with sloppy, uninspiring techno sounds. Gourov Dasgupta does better in the ballad-style Aaja Soniye, with interesting vocals by Sudhanshu Pandey. Mika’s Nachle Soniye is pedestrian,...

The title song is both cheesy and pointless, but Gayatri’s Friday thankfully reverses that with a zingy 80s styled dance-floor track reminiscent of WHAM. Adnan throws in a complete stunner...
Continue reading...Jab we met (Hindi – Pritam)
Mika’s nasal tone suits the buoyant Mauja while Mohit Chauhan’s somber Tum se hi works more ‘cos of those enticing backgrounds. Yeh ishq seems like a sure-shot candidate for another...
Continue reading...Saawariya (Hindi – Monty Sharma & Sanjay Leela Bhansali)
The exuberant title song showcases a lilting tune and a fab new voice, Shail Hada. With an alternating rhythm, Jab se too is striking, while Kunal’s Masha-allah is enchanting and...
