Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola (Music review), Hindi – Vishal Bhardwaj
The title song is brisk and builds its energy gradually and surely, while Khamaka builds into a gorgeously pleasant melody, complete with an African chorus, but with middling vocals by...

The title song is breezy and foot-tapping in a predictable way, while Gubbare ushers in strong Aisha recall for assorted reasons, with a horn-filled, dreamy feel. Ash King pulls off...
