Manisharma’s ingenuity in tuning the peculiarly retro-styled Ettuko is quite apparent – this is a seductive track with supremely confident vocals by Geetha Madhuri. Hemachandra and Malavika help the sweetly...
Continue reading...Music review: Ganesh (Telugu – Mickey J Meyer)
That decidedly unimpressive kids’ chorus that opens Karthik’s Chalo chalore perhaps forebodes that Mickey’s latest may just belie the expectations set by his earlier, impressive soundtracks – but the track...
Continue reading...Music review: Tum Mile (Hindi – Pritam)
The title song ambitiously has 3 versions – a bouncy, up-tempo variant by Neeraj Shridhar, quite aptly; a reprise by Javed Ali and a rock version by Shafqat Amanat Ali....

NW1W! (I figured that people may be expecting a review if I mention the deadly 4 alphabets – NW1W, denoting Not Worth 100 Word – only in my tweets…considering not...

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...
