With 5 singers, the weirdly short Aage aage is mindless in a typical Pritam way – some convenient rhythms and a non-descript tune. The strong flavor in Gunji angana mein...

Suvai karumbe atrociously apes Harris Jayaraj, in vain, but the melancholic tune in Adhu oru adaimazhai kaalam works quite well. Haricharan’s Mazhaye mazhaye too is Harris’ sound to the core,...

Bappi’s Miss Baabaloo is pitiably stupid while the middling Paki rock he attempts in Tere bin is noticeably better. Anu Malik raps inconsolably in Laal quile while his Chal mera...

The surf guitar-loaded DhanTeNan is no doubt reminiscent of Dick Dale’s legendary track, Misirlou (more popularly referred to as the theme from Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction), but beyond broad, genre-influences,...

Forget the fact that Kambakkht Ishq is a dud of a film. What irks me the most is when director Sabbir Khan says, ‘KI was an original idea’. It goes...

Just realized – quite surprisingly, very late – that the post in my other blog (Beast of Traal) is very appropriate for Milliblog. It’s about A R Rahman’s new compilation...
