March 2009 - Bollywood Music Reviews

  • 8x10 Tasveer

    EXPECTATIONS When it comes to an Akshay Kumar film, there are expectations of a full on 'masala' score. However, when the name Nagesh Kukunoor gets attached to the project, you know that soundtrack won't have a core Akshay Kumar stamp. It will be something different for sure and certainly not the kind where Akshay Kumar will get to let himself loose in a way that he has done in his recent films like Chandni Chowk To China, Singh Is Kinng or Welcome. Add to the project composers like Salim...
  • Ek - The Power of One

    EXPECTATIONS When a film comes with entire focus on action and drama, there isn't much that one can expect from the music. Yes, director Sangeeth Sivan has stated that Ek - The Power of One could well be termed as DDLJ meets Die Hard but frankly, if promos are any indication, then the music belonging to the class of DDLJ is pretty much like a distant dream. MUSIC Even though the soundtrack has Pritam on the credits, one plays on the album apprehensively. The opening track is barely decent too...
  • Sikandar

    EXPECTATIONS Frankly, one doesn't have many expectations from the music of Sikandar primarily due to the film's offbeat theme and a 'hatke' genre. Moreover, the film isn't one of those routine Bollywood flicks and brings to fore the life of a teenage boy who happens to stumble upon a pistol in the valley of Kashmir. With expectations of a soundtrack that will mainly be played in the film's background, one puts on Sikandar. MUSIC Write your own music review of Sikandar 'Dhoop...
  • Kal Kissne Dekha

    EXPECTATIONS A launch pad is always looked at with keen interest. Especially so when the filmmaker here i.e. Vashu Bhagnani is someone who was once known as the 'Man with the Midas touch'. At the peak of his stint as a producer, he gave Bollywood a number of musical entertainers like Coolie No. 1, Hero No. 1, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, Biwi No. 1, Mujhe Kuch Kehna Hai and Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein. During his 15 years of filmmaking, Vashu Bhagnani roped in different composers for most of his...
  • Gulaal

    EXPECTATIONS Films made by Anurag Kashyap have more often than not boasted of a defining soundtrack. We saw it recently in Dev D and a couple of years back in Black Friday. Even the music of Paanch was ahead of it's time and if re-released today could do wonders with rock genre finally finding acceptance in Bollywood flicks. No wonder, when Anurag goes rustic with Gulaal, one looks forward to what new he has in store this time around. Agreed that except for Dev D, music of his other films haven't...
  • Dhoondte Reh Jaoge

    EXPECTATIONS From a movie like Dhoondte Reh Jaoge, one expects a situational score, the kind where you won't hear any love songs but instead a few comic numbers that would keep popping up through the narrative. MUSIC Entrusted with the responsibility of coming up with a fun soundtrack that has an entertaining feel to it (just suited for a young film like this), Sajid-Wajid kick start the album with the title song Dhoondte Reh Jaoge. The best song in the album, this one does boast of a fun quotient...
