Ganesh Hegde’s reworking of Pancham’s classic falls way short, barring, perhaps Amitabh’s Kabhi kabhi dialog with a twist and its picturization, that’s quite besides the point. Ruk ja, Hai aag...

Go (Hindi – Sneha Khanwalkar, Prasanna Shekhar & Amar Mohile)
Sneha Khanwalkar shares credit with Prasanna Shekhar for Kaash and Amar Mohile for Oooh. Kaash is unique – extremely slow, but an arresting tune, backed by fantastic arrangements, while the...
Continue reading...Dhamaal (Hindi, Adnan Sami)
Dekho dekho and Chal nache are appropriately dancy fun numbers that gain tremendously from Adnan and Shaan’s spunky singing. Adnan’s overall packaging adds significant groove! Miss India is comparatively jaded...
Continue reading...Chak de India (Hindi, Salim Sulaiman)
Is the title song supposed to be a rousing anthem? The spinning rhythms and the prominent hook definitely help, but its a tad predictable for its ambitions. Hema Sardesai resurfaces...

Himesh tadaps, as usual, with Oooooooos and Tulsi Kumar, for Tadap. Despite the monotony, this track is strangely addictive. Pritam re-invokes the Namie Amuro-inspired Aa khushi, annoyingly again, after its...

Shakeel Azmi’s meaningful wordplay stays on in Anjana, a charming, old-worldly tune. Kreem’s own rendition in the milder version is a bit more striking than Kay Kay’s! Pakistani musician Shiraz...

The serpentine, sufi’ish build-up to the title song is mesmerizing, with an added Punju flavor for tadka effect! Tulsi’s vocals jar but Hamza makes up for it! Mithoon’s trademark tune...

Much as Zubin tries to infuse life into Kee kasoor, this techno-styled ditty just fails to take off. But Shaan is in super form in the title song. Pritam uses...
Continue reading...Kahaani Gudiya Ki (Hindi, Vivek Prakash)
Is it Jagjit Singh’s voice? Or does he insist that his songs be composed in its own particular genre, right up to the choice of instruments? Not that I’m against...
Continue reading...Fear (Hindi, Himesh Reshammiya)
Tanha tanha lets us on Himesh’s annoying nasal twang slow and steady that it builds up into a complete rage by the time the track ends. Dil dhadkata hai is...
