  • Dasavathaaram

    Surprise surprise!!! And a big surprise at that. There was a time when Himesh Reshammiya used to have a dozen odd music releases happening with every passing month and still each of his songs would be talked about. Now even though he composes for one of the biggest projects coming out of India - Kamal Hassan's Dashavatar - there isn't much being spoken or written about, except for the glittering audio launch which happened a few days back. The songs have been dubbed in Hindi as well for an...

  • Love Story 2050

    In last few weeks, music stands have seen the arrival of quite a few albums which have Anu Malik credited as a composer. While he has contributed along with other composers for Woodstock Villa, Anu Malik has run the show entirely for Hastey Hastey and Anamika. However, none of them can be termed as a true blue comeback for the man who once upon a time used to deliver countless chartbuster songs. His last big album was Umrao Jaan but it bit the dust. Now with Love Story 2050 looking at hitting the...

  • Haal-e-dil

    Kumar Mangat surely likes to experiment when it comes to the music of his films. While his Sunday had six composers for six different songs in the film, in Haal-E-Dil, he has opted for multiple composers. This is why for a total of seven songs, he has short listed as many as four composers and four lyricists along with 11 singers who have contributed to make sure that Haal-E-Dil boasts of a variety of sounds. While Anand Raj Anand takes the cake with three numbers, Pritam, Vishal Bharadwaj and Raghav...

  • Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic

    Yash Raj Films would certainly be expecting that the worst is over with Tashan. Aaja Nachle, Laaga Chunari Mein Daag, Jhoom Barabar Jhoom - the list of disappointments, both critically and commercially, for the production house has been pretty long by now and it would just be the right time for Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic to put a stop before the list grows any further. Directed by Kunal Kohli, the man who has given YRF two successful films - Hum Tum and Fanaa, Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic has music by Shankar...

  • Dashavatar

    Animation films are catching up on the Bollywood movie-making scene. While 'Prithviraj Chauhan' has got a straight DVD release, Ghatokhkach and Dashavatar are going to be unveiled on the silver screen soon. Even though Kamal Hassan is getting his magnum opus Dashavatar being readied for release, an animation film with the same name has already been completed with its music album hitting the stands. Since not much has been heard about composer Anand Kurhekar and lyricist Sandeep Khare, there...

  • Ghatothkach

    It is summer vacations time and season is just right for animation films to arrive on the big screen. With Indian audience slowly but steadily warming up to the Bollywood animation flicks (if not theatrically, at least on Home Video), Ghatothkach marks it's arrival. Produced by Shemaroo, which came with a delightful Bal Ganesha last year, Ghatothkach is directed by Singeetam Srinivasa Rao, the man who made Pushpak decades back. Incidentally, Singeetam Srinivasa Rao is also the music director...

  • Mere Baap Pehle Aap

    Years back when Priyadarshan and Akshaye Khanna had come together, they created some Hungama and Hulchul. Now as they get together for Mere Baap Pehle Aap, they are also joined by Vidyasagar, the composer of Hulchul, who creates tunes for this yet another comedy flick this season. Sameer is the lyricist. Though the songs of Hulchul didn't really create much 'hulchul' to begin with, a couple of numbers ('Rafta Rafta', 'Ishq Mein') did manage to stick on and can be heard...

  • Khushboo

    There was a time when the name Pahlaj Nihalani was associated with hardcore commercial masala flicks. As time progressed, audience taste also went through a change and different genres overshadowed the kind of films, which came from the veteran filmmaker of three decades. Now Pahlaj Nihalani is back as he makes a romantic film titled Khushboo while launching two new faces, Avantikka and Rishi Rehan. While he ropes in a new director Rajesh Ram Singh to handle the affairs behind the camera, the music...

  • Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na

    Would it be Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak once again with the arrival of Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Naa? This is the first feeling one got the moment the first look of this Aamir Khan production was out. Marking the launch pad of his nephew, Imraan Khan, Jaane Tu…Ya Jaane Naa seems to be another innocent love story in the offering sans any unnecessary mush, hence going truly with contemporary times. With pretty girl Genelia D'Souza opposite Imraan in this campus flick and A.R. Rahman as the composer, this...

  • Dhoom Dadakka

    From Dhoom to Dhoom 2 to Dhoom Dadakka- the word 'dhoom' is certainly catching up fast. However, unlike hard core action masala flicks like the YRF productions, Dhoom Dadakka follows the route of hard core comedy, something which can be expected when the likes of Anupam Kher, Satish Shah, Satish Kaushik and Razzak Khan come together. With Sameer Dattani, Shaad Randhawa, Aarti Chhabaria and Shama Sikandar forming the young quartet of Dhoom Dadakka, the music by Roop Kumar Rathod too is expected...

  • De Taali

    Even though there was a six month gap between Om Shanti Om and Tashan, it has been an array of musical releases for Vishal-Shekhar. Bhoothnath followed Tashan and now De Taali has also hit the stands. After a very good (Tashan) and a plain average (Bhoothnath) affair, one has good expectations from De Taali primarily because the film boasts of a young and energetic cast of Ritiesh Deshmukh, Aftab Shivdasani, Ayesha Takia and Rimi Sen. Since the quartet has usually been associated with films comprising...

  • Hastey-Hastey

    Anu Malik is back in news in this part of the season. Just recently his soundtrack of Anamika released while he has contributed to the score of Woodstock Villa as well. Now, his songs from Hastey Hastey are being heard, which is a film that stars Jimmy Sheirgill in the lead with Nisha Rawal making her big screen debut. Even though the film has been set in USA and has been made at a good budget, one keeps the fingers crossed to see what do Anu Malik and Sameer have to offer this time around. The cry...

  • Woodstock Villa

    Sanjay Gupta and rocking music go together. There may have been a stray exception or two but time and again Gupta has proved that he has it in him when it comes to the choice of some contemporary/urban music which cuts boundaries. Dus Kahaniyaan, Zinda, Musafir, Kaante - the list just goes on. No wonder, one looks forward to what's in store while picking up the album of Woodstock Villa. So what if the film has a different director (Hansal Mehta), it's the trust in Gupta's White Feather...
