I really admire debutant director, choreographer Ganesh Acharya’s idea to make a realistic, dance-unfriendly film! But the soundtrack, for all its grand and refined sound by Nitin Arora and Sony...

Apne (Hindi – Himesh Reshammiya)
Ankh vich and Mehfuz have all the trappings of a standardized Himesh track, topped with his strong nasality (!) but strangely, the tunes are pretty good. Dekhoon tujhe has some...
Continue reading...MP3: Mera Pehla Pehla Pyaar (Hindi – Vipin Mishra, Ashu-Dhruv)
With 3 versions, you expect Kaun hoon main to be the highlight. But the track, by background score masters Ashu-Dhruv reeks of an indi-pop sound typical of small-budget movies with...
Continue reading...Awarapan (Hindi – Assorted composers)
Awarapan is almost a Pakistani soundtrack! Roxen’s To phir aao is breathtaking no doubt, but three versions sounds a bit too much! Roxen lead Mustafa’s voice goes completely against him...

Anand Raaj Anand dishes out an utterly bland item number in Mere yaar. His other track, Unke nashe mein is marginally better, with confident orchestration. Mika does seem to have...

Aap kaa surroor is a case of Himesh-overdose. The tunes are bad – with the exception of Tera mera milna and perhaps, Assalam Vaalekum. The singing is exasperating. The number...
Continue reading...Fool N Final (Hindi – Himesh Reshammiya)
Yeh dooriyan calls out Shakira! With Shaheed Kapoor doing a Justin Timberlake, this is pretty catchy, more so because Himesh is out of his comfort zone in terms of composition...
Continue reading...The Train (Hindi – Mithoon)
Woh ajnabee captivates right from the start – with a catchy stacatto rhythm and an extraordinary singing debut by Mithoon, Shilpa Rao pitching-in equally beautifully. That Dhadkan dhadkan line, besides...
