Continue reading...Pray For Me Brother (A R Rahman, Blaaze)
Judging by its intentions, PFMB would be way up there. Musically, Rahman treads a beaten path with a pop’ish sound wrapped in R&B influences. The tune is addictive enough and...
Continue reading...Munna (Telugu – Harris Jeyaraj)
Anushka’s husky overtones in Chamakuro are methodically slow and fetching. Kadhulu kadhulu starts of wonderfully well but the recycled parts from Pachaikili Muthucharam’s Karu karu catches you completely unaware. This,...

Aye khuda has an engaging Junoon’ish sound and Kunal’s full-pitched vocals help tremendously! But, both Deewana teri and Its rocking are contrived and predictable, despite Pritam infusing reggae, rap and...
Continue reading...Khanna & Iyer (Hindi – Tabun Sutradhar)
Boom boom is insipid. Rootho naa has stereotyped ‘Iyer’ interludes even as the tune is plain boring. Raasta pyaar ka is too fragmented to even comment about, the flat singing...
