I had huge expectations. But they started dying when the movie with a less than required quotient of suspense started becoming a rat race. But then the second half came as the pleasant surprise that I was expecting for at the time of intermission, and I got at least something for my expectations.
Salim-Sulaiman are nowadays giving music which is more movie specific than general, especially so in Pyaar Impossible. This time they get a thriller as Teen Patti, and they create some good music for the movie. The songs may not be hits before the movie, but they sound good enough to fit well in the movie [...]
It wasn’t really what I was expecting. I thought of a college, a girl, a guy, an impossible love story and the guy running behind the girl while Salim-Sulaiman’s beautiful songs were in the air. Thankfully, Pyaar Impossible isn’t that. The movie has a good story. But since it’s a YashRaj, the kahani gets filmi [...]
Here comes another poll. This one should not be very difficult for you. There have been a number of music directors with a number of movie albums this year. You have to select who is the music composer of the year according to you. I have given the names of their composed albums in front [...]
Composers have been singing their compositions from time immemorial. Be it a legendary SD Burman singing wahan kaun hai tera musafir in Guide or a rock-popping Anu Malik trying Ek Garam Chai ki Pyali ho, composers have always found their share of singing, especially when they compose single. But for past some years, the trend [...]
Short and Sweet. These are the first two words I’d like to say about the the music of Pyaar Impossible. Salim Sulaiman have just five songs and two remixes in their new album Pyaar Impossible, out of which Alisha and 10 on 10 are already out and quite liked too. Other songs of the album [...]
Rocket Singh calls himself ’salesman of the year.’ And his first test is here. Rocket Singh has just three original songs. If he still is able to sell the music CDs of the movie, he certainly is going to be the salesman of the year. Tough job, though.
All three original songs of Rocket Singh: Salesman [...]
Vishal is always good. But not always great. After Kurbaan, I was expecting something huge from the Vishal Dadlani-Salim-Sulaiman combo, but the result is nothing like Kurbaan but something near Nazara hai. Though, the lyrics are better and are going to match the situation in the movie. So since the song is destined to have [...]

pankhon ko hawa zara si lagne do,
dil bole soya tha ab jagne do,
dil dil mein hain dil ki tamanna sau,
do sau hon, chalo zara si tapne do..
Salim-Sulaiman are huge. And when they make less songs, they get even better. And lately, when there is a song sung by Salim Merchant, it is absolutely wonderful. And [...]

Let me ask you a question. On an average, how long before the release of a movie do you get its songs? A month? two months? More??
OK. Let me give some recent examples. Kurbaan released on 20th November, while you can see my review of Kurbaan dated 12th October here. De dana dan is due [...]
Song: Pocket mein Rocket
Album/Movie: Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year
Music composer: Salim-Sulaiman
Singer: Benny Dayal
I dunno if it’s hunger somewhat satisfied or hunger increased. I had got a 3-4 second piece in the teaser of Rocket Singh, Salesman of the year, and since then I’ve been waiting for the music to release. And then I got [...]
I had huge expectations. They didn’t get fulfilled. But I saw a good movie.
I think that was my mistake when I went to see Kurbaan. I wanted things to be perfect, but expecting perfection from a debutant director is not always a good idea. Still, the movie is overall good and in some places even [...]
So here is the new controversy for Kurbaan. The song, Ali Maula, sung by Salim Merchant, is found controversial (like everything else related to any religion in India) and as per report, Bombay High Court has issued a notice to the makers of the movie after a Muslim group filed a PIL claiming that the [...]
Dear Vipul,
If only you knew that we, the people of India, who happen to be your audience, are living in the 21st century and not in ’70s or ’90s, London Dreams would be a blockbuster. Still, your effort was good, and I must congratulate you for a better than average movie you made.
That was all [...]
Today I saw a review by my twit-buddy dunkdaft saying Kurbaan Hua sounds just like Nazara hai of Tasveer 8×10 and is the only ‘glitch’ in the album. Well, my first reaction was of shock. But then I tried to compare the songs and found that the words Nazara hai and Kurbaan hua had quite some similarity even though [...]
