Ba khuda is the same old arabic’esque track that every Indipop star does the mistake of singing. Buena vida is the Latin equivalent of the same mistake. Dance along has...

Bas karo‘s guitar-loaded Raghupati raghav opening seems gimmicky since the rest of the track, while perfectly competent, sounds disjoint. Langoor chala is funny and the angsty tune works pretty well,...
Continue reading...Music review: Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge (Hindi – Amit Mishra & Pritam)
Pritam’s Aaja aaja is a cacophonous mess, but that strangely seems quite the intention; that it follows a predictable pattern is a different story. His other track, the mock take...

Composer Sachin Gupta gets his big ticket in Prince and uses Atif Aslam intelligently across 4 tracks. O mere khuda is templatized, but is a racy listen, while Tere liye...

Prema prema is beautiful, but generic. We Don’t Care sounds good, but is so standard’ish that it is disappointing. Ninnu nannu‘s mellifluous orchestration holds the key even as the tune...

NW1W. Methuvai methuvai is the only track that deserves a passing listen – the rest has forgettable tunes and even worse choice of singers. Keywords: Maathiyosi, Gurukalyan, Nanda Periyasami

But for Javed Ali’s Tum hi mere and Sonu & Shreya’s Magar kuch to hai, Prem ka Game is perfect NW1W material. Raju Singh’s biggest collection of duds yet. Keywords:...

Title song – Teen Patti (Hindi – Salim Sulaiman) Very techno and very catchy. Salim’s vocals add to the charm – the hook, ‘Ikka basha rani’ is stuck on my...

Ajnabi hawaayein is old-school melody; but its mysterious longing that gets on to you. Chaahata dil is Aditya Narayan’s show – lovely, romantic number that he makes great use of!...
