The title song is is juvenile and silly, despite some feeble effort with the peppy rhythm. Desi beat is equally bad – banally repetitive! Thankfully, Himesh works hard on the...

Always Kabhi Kabhi (Music review), Hindi – Pritam, Aashish Rego & Shree D
Aashish Rego and Shree D’s title song is cinema-school-love template all the way. Antenna is standard Pritam material – the kind he makes Neeraj Shridhar sing usually…Benny Dayal does the...

Naina is every bit the template that Pritam used to great effect in Rajneeti’s Bheegi si; even Mohit Chauhan seems to be sleep-walking through this one. Thoda sa pyaar, however,...
Continue reading...Ready (Music review), Hindi – Pritam and Devi Sri Prasad
Mix Mika and Devi Sri Prasad’s already iconic Telugu front-bencher pleaser, Ringa ringa…and you get Dhinka Chika; easily this year’s Munni badnaam. The rest of the 3 original tracks by...
Continue reading...Dum maaro dum (Music review), Hindi – Pritam
Dum maaro dum’s remix works appropriately by not redoing it as-is and cleverly incorporating choice elements from the original in a funky mix; kudos to Midival Punditz and Karsh Kale,...

Mohit Chauhan is the perfect fit for the breezy Abhi kuch dino se; Pritam’s buoyant guitar accompaniments work brilliantly! Beshuba continues the light, bouncy feel, though, tune-wise it falls short....
Continue reading...Golmaal 3 (Music review), Hindi – Pritam
Golmaal’s new title song pales in comparison to Vishal Shekhar’s Sean Paul’ish title song that it briefly evokes in the beginning! Apna har din‘s only saving grace is that repetitive...

Only Pritam’s punchy arrangements stand out in Baki main bhool gayi, but Daler’s Zor ka jhatka works big time as an addictive item song! Chhan ke mohalla and Dhak dhak...
Continue reading...Aakrosh (Music review), Hindi – Pritam
With its Viju Shah’ish item sound, Isak se meetha is surprisingly un-Pritam’ish, dated and predictable. Rahat Fateh Ali Khan gets badly stereotyped…yet again, in Man ki mat and Sasural munia...
Continue reading...Crook (Music review), Hindi – Pritam
Challa offers an explosively catchy opening; perfect, heady Pritam number…right sound, great effect! Beyond that, Pritam opts for a melody overdose and does it damn well! Nikhil Dsouza aces Mere...
