Here it is, finally! There are still some interesting soundtracks expected (particularly in Tamil – like A R Rahman’s Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya and Yuvan Shankar Raja’s Goa), but it’d be unfair...
Continue reading...Music review: Bolo Raam (Hindi – Sachin Gupta)
Do dil hai jawan is momentarily catchy, with a fast, feet-friendly sound and some groovy music; doesn’t stick really but. Sukhwinder Singh is in a pensive mood in Maa tere...
Continue reading...Music review: Kehna Maine Yaad Kiya Hai (Indipop – Chitra)
The title song evokes mild interest due to its conventionally staid tune, while Kyun hamaare too falls in a similar bracket – predictable. Bas eik baat is marginally better with...
Continue reading...Music review: Veer (Hindi – Sajid-Wajid)
Taali is no doubt ambitiously mounted, but it’s still a largely lackluster and standard package, while in Surili akhiyon wale, Rahat sings something that seriously stereotypes him – it is...

Love in C Major has a strong allegiance to Friends’ title song; is still a good, bubbly track. Bade shehar tests the patience with a lot of club’by attitude that...

The first thing that strikes you in a Raghu Dixit soundtrack is the eclectic nature of the sound – Marubhoomialli is a great example, fusing a distinctly Indian sounding Celtic...

After eulogizing the hero, Yuvan takes Tamil music to the next level by singing his own name, in the helpfully titled, ‘Introduction‘, amidst a psychedelic package! Poo mudhal and En...
Continue reading...Music review: Pyaar Impossible (Hindi – Salim-Sulaiman)
Alisha starts the soundtrack reasonably well with its spunky arrangements and fabulously cool vocals by Anushka and Salim Merchant. Even the title song has a pleasant tune that, without trying...
Continue reading...Music review: Adhurs (Telugu – Devi Sri Prasad)
Devi and Baba Sehgal repeat their Jalsa magic in the super catchy and punchy Assalam valekum. Hariharan rocks the otherwise standard and soaring power-melody, Chandrakala, but Chari, with its comic...
