Jai jai money and Gustakh nigah sound pretty routine, but snazzy Pritam-styled sound and the overall catchiness of these tracks make it hear-worthy. I cannot vouch for the originality of...

Umrao Jaan (Hindi – Anu Malik)
Umrao Jaan is Alka Yagnik’s show all the way. But Anu Malik chooses to tread a safe path by using a time-tested original sound with very little innovation to depict...
Continue reading...Vivah (Hindi – Ravindra Jain)
The music of Vivah is like a 70s time capsule – dated? Yes. Pleasant? Sort of! While Mujhe haq hai & Do anjaane have that quaint charm, O jiji &...

Yeh mera dil and Khaike paan banaraswala hold more visual appeal than anything aural, thanks to some middling remix and the Kareena/ SRK screen presence. The nouveau title track plays...
Continue reading...Naksha (Hindi – Pritam)
Shake it and U&I are assembly-line punjabi pop tracks with a catchy but oft-heard sound while Yaara ve with Abhishek Nailwal’s spirited vocals impresses mainly ‘cos of its Junoon-styled composition....
