What’s your Rahman Realization Point?
The 2 composers about whom I’ve gushed generously in this blog are Ilayaraja and A R Rahman. I still find my life’s choicest moments unfolding within my brain whenever I...

The title song’s riffs are all nice and rousing, but the tune has a jingle style abruptness to it. Nilai varuma displays some promise, but again, is underwhelming overall, given...

Out of the five Sandesh Shandilya-composed tracks, Payar, the title song and Rang rangia definitely make the cut. Payar is very Karan Johar-styled, only in Punjabi while the title song...
