Pritam’s remix of the Inteqam classic, Aa jaane jaan is bland and unidimensional despite Javed Jaffrey’s desperate attempts to infuse some life. Attrah baras ki is straight out of a...

Aashayein (Music review), Hindi – Salim-Sulaiman, Pritam and Shiraz Uppal
Ab mujhko offers faux optimism, in a conventional package, while Mohit Chauhan’s reflective Chala aaya pyar doesn’t work entirely despite some neat tabla-infused orchestration. Shafqat’s Shukriya zindagi is standard SEL-template and is...

Babu Rao aims to be street-smart, but something in its groove doesn’t really allow it to be. I am in love is KK’s show; brilliant one at that – delightful...

Aila re seems like a raucous homage to Pancham’s Jahan teri yeh nazar hai and works well – Daler and Kalpana Patowary vocals are high on enthusiasm. The Marathi-pop Nana...

Pritam’s Aaja aaja is a cacophonous mess, but that strangely seems quite the intention; that it follows a predictable pattern is a different story. His other track, the mock take...

Jis din and Dil le jaa‘s age-old hooks sink whatever enthusiasm the rhythm tries to evoke, but Phir se is as breezy as things can get – Pritam opts for...

Despite the strong Chopra-feel, Aaja aaja has a pleasant lilt to it, while Akela dil and Magar meri jaan‘s fancy rhythms and vocals fall completely flat. Tu jo jaan le...

Rahat is getting typecast and it is clear from the maha-predictable forced-pleasantness of Rishte naate. Gale lag ja works marginally, only because of Javed Ali, but Paisa (by RDB), with...
