Devi Sri Prasad faithfully recreates his Telugu hit for Daddy Mummy, with the Tamil version’s lyrics. It remains absurdly catchy. Yo Yo Honey Singh’s Aankhon aankhon is right up there...

Welcome Back (Music review), Hindi – 9 composers
NW1W. Atrocious mess, between 7 credited composers (9, if you consider Meet Bros Anjjan as 3 individual composers). Keywords: Not Welcome Back, Anu Malik, Meet Bros Anjjan, Yo Yo Honey...
Continue reading...Gabbar Is Back (Music review), Hindi – Chirantan Bhatt, Yo Yo Honey Singh & Manj Musik
Arijit sounds oddly labored in Chirantan Bhatt-composed Teri meri kahani, with a predictable Pakistani-pop sound. Chirantan’s other song, Coffee peetey peetey does sound like something composed over the music playing...
Continue reading...Dilliwaali Zaalim Girlfriend (Music review), Hindi – Assorted composers
Yo Yo Honey Singh’s Birthday bash is his standard one-hook, barely functional song. Dr.Zeus’ Tipsy hogai has a nice enough Latin twang to tide over the predictable tune, while Indeep...

Alcoholic continues Yo Yo Honey Singh’s festish for assorted spirits and he is clearly the best in creating catchy songs built around them. Manali trance goes a step beyond mere...

One-song-per-soundtrack specialists Meet Bros Anjjan join Palash Muchhal for Party to banti hai – good fun, thanks to the ebullient rhythm. Of the three songs by Ram Sampath, Har had...

With Baby doll, it seems like composers Meet Bros Anjjan are yet to get over Truth Hurts’ Addictive – the same rythm regurgitated with a new, middling tune. Mustafa Zahid...
Continue reading...Yaariyaan (Music review), Hindi – Pritam, Mithoon, Yo Yo Honey Singh, Arko Pravo Mukherjee & Anupam Amod
Mithoon overdoes his soaked-in-pathos sound in Baarish and Mujhe ishq se, both involving a searing ‘Yeeeeeeaaaaaareeeeyaaaaan’. The former works, in Aashiqui 2 mode, while the latter has Tulsi Kumar… ’nuff...
