Bollywood Music Reviews

  • Aao Wish Karein

    EXPECTATIONS Since Aao Wish Karein gives the perception of a romantic entertainer; one does expect music to play a reasonably important role in the film. Also, since composers Ankur Tewari and Xulfi had come up with a couple of tracks worth humming in Ek Chalis Ki Last Local, one expects a certain quality from their soundtrack of Aao Wish Karein. MUSIC Beginning of Aao Wish Karein is surprising though with 'Sabse Peeche Hum Khade' kick starting the proceedings. This is the same song that...
  • Kurbaan

    EXPECTATIONS There are good, though not huge expectations from the music of Kurbaan. Good, because there are names like Karan Johar, Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor associated with the film. Not huge, because the film doesn't belong to a quintessential romantic genre in the true sense, something which could possibly lend a 'safe' feel to the soundtrack. With the film having a background of terrorism to it, there is a certain restriction that happens to the commercial viability of the...
  • Fruit & Nut

    EXPECTATIONS Nil. Main reason being that the title by itself is such inconsequential and doesn't give any hint whatsoever of what the film is all about. The same holds true for the music (composed by Sangeet Haldipur and Siddharth Haldipur with lyrics by Saajan Aggarwal) as well that has silently arrived on the stands. MUSIC 'Heeriye', 'jaaniye' and stuff alike is heard in 'bhangra' track 'Bhangda Paale - Moovam 2 Da Groovam' which as inconsequential as the title...
  • Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani

    EXPECTATIONS Now this one does sound like a promising album. First and foremost names like Pritam and Irshad Kamil are good enough to result in a quality album. Case in point being Love Aaj Kal and Jab We Met where the composer-lyricist 'jodi' has already succeeded in creating magic. Secondly, the film is a romcom in the offering with heart-throbs like Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif being paired opposite each other for the first time. Thirdly, the film is a TIPS production and it would be...
  • Shaabash! You Can Do It

    EXPECTATIONS Film's title - Shaabash! You Can Do It. Music: Santokh Singh Dhaliwal. Producer: Unknown. Director: Unknown. Actors: Unknown. Promotion: Zilch. Hype: Zero. Expectations: Rock bottom. MUSIC Lyricist Kumaar writes the title track 'You Can Do It Shaabash' which is nothing better than an ad jingle. In fact from the very start till the finish, the track carries a jingle feel to it, whether in terms of theme, music or rendition by Soham Chakravorty. The pace too seems to have been...
  • Jail

    EXPECTATIONS There are limited expectations from the music of Jail. Reasons being that a) the movie's genre doesn't quite warrant popular music in the offering and b) Barring Fashion, Madhur Bhandarkar's films (though belonging to a league of their own) haven't quite relied upon the music. Yes, one does come across an occasional song or two from movies like a Page 3 or a Corporate that manage to make a mark. However, it has never been the case of music helping the film succeed. This...
  • Aladin

    EXPECTATIONS It all started six years back when the music of Jhankaar Beats was released. This was the soundtrack that brought together film maker Sujoy Ghosh with composers Vishal and Shekhar who have never looked back ever since then. In fact such has been the benchmark set by the composer duo in Jhankaar Beats that each and every album of theirs is expected to throw at least one 'Tu Aashiqui Hai' or a 'Suno Naa'. They did come up with some good music for Sujoy's next film Home...
  • 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...
