There is an overriding soul-style sound in this soundtrack that seems very appealing. It’s more pronounced in the piano-laden Reham O Karam, that starts blissfully serene before escalating its notes,...

Tere Bin Laden (Music review), Hindi – Shankar Ehsaan Loy, Dhruv Dhalla & Ali Zafar
Out of the two songs by Shankar Ehsaan Loy, only Ullu da pattha works, for its casual, rollicking charm, while I love Amreeka gets drowned under its own predictability. Dhruv...

Oh Girl you’re mine is an unfortunate opener to the soundtrack since it’s the least interesting song with a terribly lame pattern and predictable sounds. Then, the soundtrack delivers all...
Continue reading...Music review: Karthik Calling Karthik (Hindi – Shankar Ehsaan Loy & Midival Punditz – Karsh Kale)
Hey ya’s frothy tune and Clinton’s breezy vocals perfectly complement each other, while Uff teri adaa is the soundtrack’s ebullient highlight, with a trippy techno sound that envelops the very-trio’ish...

Egire is all attitude with some groovy guitar, while the cleverly tuned Aanandama alternates between somber and playfully rhythmic sections, with a tinge of melancholy peeking too! Abacha is conventionally...

Kailash, Paresh & Naresh serve an ace in the earthy S.I.D.H.U, peppered with lively lyrics by Kailash, but their other track, Chak lein de, despite all that techno-sound and inspirational...
