September 2009 - Bollywood Music Reviews

  • Acid Factory

    EXPECTATIONS A wonderful track record over the years has proven that Sanjay Gupta films have traditionally boasted of good music. Whether it is his productions or directorial outings, he has time and again impressed with his music. Soundtrack of most of his films is techno-heavy and one expects nothing different from the music of this Suparn Verma directed film that again sees multiple composers and lyricists coming together to do the job. MUSIC Opening notes of 'Yeh Jism' pave the way for...
  • London Dreams

    EXPECTATIONS There are bound to be very good expectations from London Dreams. After all, it is a film which has a musical background to it, has composers Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy at the helm of affairs and brings them together with Prasoon Joshi from whom one expects poetic lyrics. Add to that, the fact that each of the earlier films of Vipul Shah [Singh Is Kinng, Namaste London, Waqt - Race Against Time and Aankhen] has boasted of immensely successful music and one can't help but expect London Dreams...
  • Tum Mile

    EXPECTATIONS Hasn't it become all so predictable when one begins the review of any music coming from the house of Bhatts that has a Pritam and Emraan Hashmi association to it? So many times has a statement being made that 'Good music is pretty much on the cards when forces like Mukesh Bhatt, Mahesh Bhatt, Pritam, Emraan Hashmi and lyricist Sayeed Quadri come together.' After all, their track record over the years has been a testimony to this fact. Hence bowing down to sheer predictability...
  • Blue

    EXPECTATIONS One doesn't quite comment upon expectations when a product gets together forces like A.R. Rahman and Akshay Kumar in a project which is touted to be one of the costliest ever to have come out of Bollywood. One just plain and simple puts on the album and waits with bated breath to check the kind of variety in store from the seven songs to follow (with thankfully no remixes thrust in). MUSIC The most awaited song of the year, 'Chiggy Wiggy', marks the beginning of the album...
  • Ek Second... Jo Zindagi Badal De?

    EXPECTATIONS Ek Second... Jo Zindagi Badal De is one of those albums where it isn't the case of no expectations. In fact here one expects some real bad music. And guess what, in this aspect, the album completely meets the expectations! MUSIC There are no surprises when the album begins with an awful sounding title track ' Hota Hai Har Faisala Ek Second Mein'. Even though the man behind the mike is Adnan Sami, the collective efforts of composer Sawan Kumar, lyricist Pradeep Chaudhary and...
  • Aamras

    EXPECTATIONS From certain albums you have zilch expectations. Especially so, when the music as well as movie come virtually unannounced, there isn't a single known name amongst the cast and crew, promos are difficult to catch by and the title is hardly flattering. Aamras wins hands down in each of these categories and no wonder; one reluctantly plays on the album that has music by Shamir Tandon and Tabun Sutradhar with lyrics by Virag Mishra, Subrat Sinha and Ravii. However, to one's pleasant...
  • Main Aurr Mrs Khanna

    EXPECTATIONS When a movie stars Salman Khan and Kareena Kapoor and belongs to the romantic genre, it is expected that it will boast of at least a couple of romantic numbers. Slight apprehensions do come from the fact that the director at the helm of affairs is a newcomer (Prem R Soni). However, considering the fact that the music has been composed by Sajid-Wajid (who have time and again given at least one chartbuster for each of the Salman films), Main Aur Mrs. Khanna does make you reasonably excited...
  • All The Best

    EXPECTATIONS Masti. Masala. And some 'dhamaal'. That's exactly what one expects from the music of All The Best. Movies and music coming from the house of Rohit Shetty have a certain template feel to them. His films like Golmaal, Golmaal Returns and Sunday have been youthful entertainers with good music. This is what one looks forward to from All The Best as well which, as the title itself suggests, is a movie about celebration and letting your hair down. With composer Pritam and lyricist...
  • Vaada raha... i promise

    EXPECTATIONS A delayed project always makes you apprehensive about it's final outcome. Ok, so Roshan is now called Vaada Raha...I Promise but does that mean that one could possibly expect better prospects from the film as well as the music? Even though the music boasts of an ensemble outing when it comes to composers being roped in to put together the soundtrack, one picks up the album with minimal expectations. MUSIC There is a pleasant surprise in store though with the opening number turning...
  • Chintu Ji

    EXPECTATIONS Zero. When a music album hits the stands less than a week before the theatrical release of the film and that too with absolutely nil promotion, the picture is quite clear about the confidence level that the makers have in the music. Siddharth Suhas, Abhishek Ishteyak, Amjad Nadeem and Sukhwinder Singh come together to create a song apiece for this album. MUSIC Ranjit Kapoor writes 'Akira Kurosawa', an item number which is picturised on Sophie Choudry. Even though it is difficult...
  • Baabarr

    EXPECTATIONS One look at the title of the film and you know for sure that this can't be expected to be a musical. In fact it's a surprise that an album has actually been worked out for this film which revolves around a gangster called Babbarr. Nevertheless, with zero expectations, one plays on this Anand Raaj Anand created album. MUSIC Anand Raaj Anand brings himself behind the mike for the opening track 'Maula Yeh Bataa' which is an out and out sad number. Telling the story of the...
