Jis jagah pe khatam is one of those few songs where the chorus vocals completely rule over the main tune; understated, but immensely catchy. Jhoom jhoom‘s ambitious backgrounds actually hold...

Yamla Pagla Deewana (Music review), Hindi – Assorted composers
Sonu sounds a bit tame in the title song’s remix, but RDB’s catchy embellishments help, but the house mix goes horrendously overboard. Nouman Javaid’s Charha de rang has 4 versions...

Aaja milke’s tune is haunting and even that seemingly standard rhythm builds up quite impressively. Shail and Shreya Ghosal are in fabulous form crooning this one. The techno-pathos in Bin...
