Mummy Ki Parchai is way too familiar Amit. That and the forced lyrics pull it down. However, Yaadon Ki Almari sells nostalgia beautifully, including that cute diversion into O.P.Nayyar’s Lakhon...

AndhaDhun (Music review), Hindi – Amit Trivedi, Raftaar & Girish Nakod
Given the film’s lead is a piano player (also demonstrated by the theme instrumentals), it seems fitting the soundtrack opens with piano in Naina Da Kya Kasoor. It’s a winsome...

Mast Ali’s heady vocals lift the already giddy-in-love Punjabi tune in F For Fyaar. In Daryaa, when the mukhda soars, it goes back to Amit’s Dev.D! Fantastic singing by Ammy...

Babu Haabi’s electrifying rap opens Chitta ve in style, even as Shahid Mallya and Bhanu Prtap take on the main tune beautifully amped by Amit’s pulsating electronic sounds. Vadiya is...
Continue reading...Fitoor (Music review), Hindi – Amit Trivedi
Yeh fitoor mera is very Amit; a dual-mukhda structure that hammers the simple, evocative tune with a gradual build-up and a rousing ending, all wonderfully handled by Arijit. Pashmina ups...

In Gulaabo, Vishal Dadlani’s swagger rocks the song, but the horn section is no less impressive given how it holds the song. Anusha Mani comes out with guns blazing in...
