Hasili fisiliye is typical Harris fare – gibberish opening and a simple, rhythmic pattern; does get addictive after the initial annoyance. Yeno yeno has plain horrendous Tamil pronunciation by Shail...

Bubble gum is interesting for its completely abstract tune that changes pitch every few seconds – doesn’t stick, but. Jillendru oru kalavaram uses a standard pop melody and with its...
Continue reading...Music review: Three (Hindi – Chirantan Bhatt)
With its sweet and mild Latino sound, Tum jo ho kareeb is reasonably listenable – Shreya going for the kill with her velvety vocals. This beat is really thumping is...
Continue reading...Music review: Januma Janumadallu (Kannada – Mano Murthy)
Aalangisu’s enthusiastic melody and arrangement is reminiscent of Mungaru Male – in a positive way, that is! In Tumbali, he gives Shreya a lively tune and she pulls it off...

If you’ve made a pact with Sohail’s annoying voice early on, it’s in Pyaari pyaari that things get excruciating. The first 4 tracks are – to be fair – pretty...

The title song is immensely sing-along’ish and despite that mild monotony via Shankar’s vocals, makes for a lovely listen, particularly the exuberant title call-out. In Kya Karoon, the highlight is...

After 3 years since their eponymous debut album, Overload’s intriguingly titled, Pichal Pairee, is indeed a fitting follow-up. It’s predominantly instrumental again – a drastic departure from the average Pakistani...
Continue reading...Music review: Aamras (Hindi – Tabun Sutradhar, Shamir Tandon)
Jabse hum is the musical equivalent a decade-old chick-flick, with its lyrics posing perfectly Google-able existential questions, while VIVA’s reunion in We are the teen queens is equally back dated...
Continue reading...Music review: Kanden Kaadhalai (Tamil – Vidyasagar)
Naan mozhi arindhen tops the bad-singer-choice list, with Suresh Wadkar irritatingly laboring in Tamil, spoiling a respectable tune. Udit is next, massacring Venpanju – another tune that could have been...
Continue reading...Music review: Quick Gun Murugan (Hindi/ South Indian Gibberish – Sagar Desai, Raghu Dixit)
Update: Daniel George is NOT the composer of this soundtrack. This is perhaps the shoddiest work I’ve ever by a Tier 1 record label – a HUGE round of spanks...
