Shaan’s diction sounds awkward in the title song, but tune-wise, the composer has a winner! Kichu kichu is modeled blatantly along Rahman’s Barso re, but the assortment of vocals and...
Continue reading...The Return of The CommonWealth Games Theme song!
Nice return, that is. The last time I was complaining and asking if Rahman was given a brief. It looks like the entire country (VK Malhotra, Aadesh Shrivastava and mainstream...

Lots of nice-sounding things, but nothing stands out, tune-wise. NW1W.
Continue reading...A Flat (Music review), Hindi – Bappa Lahiri
Meetha sa has an ambient sound, though the tune is staid and predictable, much like Shreya Ghoshal’s Pyar itna na kar, that hams it up in a sleepy, standard tune....

NW1W. Anything more will be a waste of time. Keywords: Whatever. Blah.

Call me dil‘s dulcet notes get accentuated because of Rashid Ali’s vocals as Rahman gets his balladish orchestration pitch-perfect here! Rashid’s other track, Cry cry, is the mellow, pondering equivalent...

Remo’s Yuvakula is at best a poorly-sung, noisy mess. But the composer works up a catchy, bombastic techno-folk number in Eyi raja, while Karthik and Suchitra’s Nijamena is what Manisharma’s...
Continue reading...Aayiram Vilakku (Music review), Tamil – Srikanth Deva
NW1W, well, barring the marginal effort the composer puts in Rathiye. I look forward to the day when I write something charitable for a Srikanth Deva soundtrack. Keywords: Santhanu Bhagyaraj,...

Strictly NW1W, but I’m willing to go out on a limb and add Noorandu vaazhga as the only thing worth in this soundtrack. Pleasant melody that has Imman doing something...
