The last 2 months have been incredible. For someone madly in love with film music, I’ve had a fabulous time – the result? 30 tracks listed as part of the...

Jack Anand commits the deadly debutant sin by lifting Bond’s Victory in the interlude of Pada pada, Thada thada (thanks: Sanjay Ramaswamy’s comment) a Harris Jeyaraj-styled racy track. Megamai’s mild...

It’s terribly ironical actually – on one hand, Mithoon debut pop album, the awkwardly titled, Tuhi mere rab ki tarha hai, is mostly competent. But, on the other, it sees...
