I was not very much willing to review the album after watching a few promos on the TV. But finally decided to go with it as I found a few songs worth trying. So here is a quick review of the album, composed by Praveen Bharadwaj.
The soundtrack of Mittal vs Mittal, India’s first movie based on marital rape, is hardly a thing I was expecting much from, even though I expect something from the movie made on a such a strong topic. But then, the small soundtrack is not as bad as I thought. In fact all three songs of [...]

Raj Kanwar’s Sadiyaan has Adnan Sami as its music director. Now while most of the songs of the song are quite usual, Adnan ropes in a lot of singers in what seems like a try to make it look varied. Many of the song can also be found using Adnan’s trademark Tabla/other instruments with restrains, [...]
So after Rahman, Sajid-Wajid and even Dabboo Malik, Adnan Sami comes up with a tune he thinks deserves the voice of Rekha Bharadwaj and gives her an eight minute and forty seconds long Sadiyaan ve, credited as Waqt ne jo beej boya, on the cover of the album, Sadiyaan.

When I heard it for the first time, I found myself wondering where I had heard the tune. But since the tune was so groovy and techno, I got no clue and kept enjoying the song as long as it was on. Only when the media player was turned off and I was humming the [...]

It’s not always that you get two back to back good movie albums within 24 hours. So good that I didn’t have time to listen to Shafqat Amanat Ali’s new album even though I loved his previous one, Tabeer. So here it comes, after Lahore, album of Well Done Abba, a Shyam Benegal movie. The [...]
Ab ye Kafila starts with a solo, soulful rendition by MM Kreem as he starts singing Zameen chhod bhar aasma baahon mein, Parwaz kar nayi dishayon mein (leave the earth, take the sky in your arms, and fly in new directions), to be joined by Karthik and KK to make a song full of hope. [...]

O re Bande is the only composition of Piyush Mishra for the album Lahore, and is sung by Rahat Fateh Ali Khan and Shilpa Rao. The song is a Qawwali with some wonderful restraints and makes Rahat do what he does best, singing a great Qawwali, without unnecessarily straining his voice, something that has almost [...]
Sometimes big things come in small packages. Lahore’s soundtrack is one of those things.

And then, I found this album called Na Ghar Ke Na Ghaat Ke, composed by Lalit Pandit. So here is a music review. The album starts with the title song, Na Ghar ke Na Ghaat ke munna, sung by Remo Fernandes, who is singing rarely for Bollywood movies for quite some time. The song gets [...]
Frankly, I don’t think I am good enough to review an album that consists of only Asha Bhosle, Roop Kumar Rathod and Hariharan only. So you may consider this one as just my opinion about the album. The album is composed by Sudeep Bannerjee and lyrics are written by Jai Shankar Mishra.
