Amar Mohile’s Pom pom pom is as embarrassing as its title. The rest by Lalit Pandit panders to the crowds! The folk flavor in Nathani utaro and Ayela ayela are...
Continue reading...Music review: EMI (Hindi – Chirantan Bhatt)
Chori chori is painfully bland, while in Ankhon hi, the composer proves that merely roping Mohit Chauhan doesn’t do the trick – you need a tune that works too, not...
Continue reading...Music review: Fashion (Hindi – Salim Sulaiman)
The cheekily titled Fashion ka jalwa has a calculated catchiness with the right tempo to go with it, while Shruti Pathak’s throaty crooning in Mar jawaan is brilliantly appropriate even...
