Oh priya priya is text-book example of simple, frothy pop. In Once upon a time, Anup imports his Telugu-style catchy kuthu, with Mukesh doing this usual to bring it to...

Originally published in . Rangabati – Coke Studio@MTV Season 4 (Ram Sampath, Sona Mohapatra & Rituraj Mohanty) Rangabati is a heady mix that at times seems forced, but given the...

Kalandar crackles with the nostalgic energy of a classic 80s pop (very Wham’ish!) song. Jasraj Jayant Joshi leads it darn well, with the song adding layer after layer of all...
Continue reading...KL10 Pathu (Music review), Malayalam – Bijibal
Duniyaavin seems like Bijibal’s quasi-homage to The Doors, with its energetic and macho guitaring (laidback Roadhouse Blues!)! Bijibal sings it confidently, the song gaining more hardcore rock elements beautifully. Halaakinte...

Naanga podiyan, beyond the catchy horns and rhythm, and full-throated singing by Anirudh and Diwakar, just about passes muster owing to its predictable tune. It’s techno version, Sharpu gangu fares...
