What’s that strange noise? Must be Himesh’s tune bank barrel being scraped in the bottom! The very same hooks, the same highly predictable orchestration, the same ‘ol Himesh vocals –...

Raqeeb (Hindi – Pritam)
KK pulls off a superbly orchestrated – with amazing pauses – Jaane kaise in an uncharacteristic low pitch while Gayatri Ganjawala has been assigned a very trendy and more than...
Continue reading...Ta Ra Rum Pum (Hindi – Vishal Shekhar)
The title song and Nachle ve are as banal as they come, with terribly drab rhythms that seem to have been imposed by the Yash Raj machinery. Ab to forever...
Continue reading...Metro (Hindi – Pritam)
Metro is Pritam’s finest effort yet – the composer gives us an excellent, themed soundtrack with the kind of sound we have come to love from Pakistani bands! Band Metro,...

Valha re-uses a prominent hook from Garam Masala’s Ada (lifted off Amr Diab’s Ana!) and is generally ho-hum. Hum tum has a mild Latin touch but is largely uninspiring! Remo...
Continue reading...Shaka Laka Boom Boom (Hindi – Himesh Reshammiyya)
I’ve never been in such a desperate need for adjectives. Himesh Reshammiyya’s latest is so atrociously and consistently bad that I don’t want to waste perfectly valid alternate words that...
