Housefull’s music is not great. It’s what it is supposed to be – Total Time Pass and Entertaining. Like it, love it, use it, throw it. Well, almost.
Continue reading about Housefull: Music Review (Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy)
Shankar Ehsaan Loy are those gems of Hindi film industry who, once given freedom to be creative, create things beyond common man’s imagination. Sunidhi Chauhan and Shabbir Kumar sung I don’t know what to do from Housefull is something like that only.
After waiting for ages, Paathshala is finally coming. But not like an old piece work. In fact the album sounds quite fresh with all the songs sung by Salim Merchant, Vishal Dadlani, Lucky Ali and Kailash Kher. Frankly, composer Hanif Shaikh has done some good work and the album is certainly worth listening to, and [...]

Lucky Ali is back with a bang. While he is in the process of launching his album Xsuie online, he can be found in Paathshala too, singing Bekaraar in his well known style. The song, Bekaraar, is a good composition of Hanif Sheikh that suits Lucky’s voice well. The lyrics are good and though the [...]

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.

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 first [...]
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. [...]
