Predictability is a dreadful thing – you know it when you listen to three tracks from Shankar Ehsaan Loy’s latest soundtrack, Shortkut – The Con is On! Kyun hota hai...

Karthik croons assertively and, along with the composer’s fantastic backgrounds and a spellbinding tune, rocks Oh eesa! This is an awe-inspiring, albeit, masala’ish track that is instantly captivating. Indha paadhai’s...
Continue reading...Music review: Kambakkht Ishq (Hindi – Anu Malik, RDB & Salim Sulaiman)
From the promos, Om mangalam by RDB sounded mundane, but ironically, that is the best track of the soundtrack. And, it’s merely a passable track inspired no doubt by Singh...
Continue reading...Music review: Jashn (Hindi – Sharib-Toshi, Nouman Javaid & Sandesh Shandilya)
Toshi-Sharib’s Aaye re and Nazrein karam play out full and punchy – KK’s ever-dependable vocals belting out confident winners in, surprisingly, Lalit Sen style. Aish karle is catchy, with very...

Madhurayathana is a Ilayaraja styled 80s number – sounds like a neat spin off either Dharmavathi or Hamsanaaadham. Malli malli is enjoyable too – simple and enjoyable tune; while the...
Continue reading...Music review: Current (Telugu – Devi Sri Prasad)
You are my love story is catchy in a cheesy, typically Telugu way – and I mean it as a compliment! Ammayilu abbayilu and Rekkalu too are nothing new and...
Continue reading...Music review: Aarumugam (Tamil – Deva)
The title song is loud and shamelessly apes the Rajinikant-style hero-entry pattern; and falls flat. Endhan rajadhi is bizarre in the way it splits rajadhi rajan and even the tune...
