The title song and Nachle ve are as banal as they come, with terribly drab rhythms that seem to have been imposed by the Yash Raj machinery. Ab to forever...

If I were to name the most impressive recent Hindi film composer, it has to be Mithoon. Son of the perennially-sidelined veteran composer Naresh Sharma, Mithoon’s (limited) compositions in Bas...

Sivaji’s audio is officially out. Pre-release scamsters include Shafeeq (Media Studios), IndiaGlitz and Behindwoods! Shafeeq was just having fun in this blog, and the world bought it. IndiaGlitz reported it...
