OK. This one is an illegal review. Or should I say a legal review of an illegally ‘leaked’ song. Either way, a song by Akon in a Bollywood movie was too attractive a prospect to leave unheard. Or even unreviewed. So there I go. The first thing I had to notice in the song: Akon [...]

When a Pritam album comes out, the first thing I look for is whether the album has a KK song or not. The next comes which song is sung by Mohit Chauhan and then what is there by Neeraj Shridhar. Then comes the rest. But this time I was surprised with myself and the album, [...]
Beautiful. After a so-techno and confusing Robot, A R Rahman does something so simple and almost magical with the ever-so-sweet and innocent tune of cry cry itna cry in Jhootha hi Sahi. The song and the music are no big bang, and all he has done is make something that sounds ‘cute’, arranged some pretty [...]
Today I was planning to write a review of this new album called Soch Lo, composed by Charu Moohan, a guy I had not really heard much about, and Nitesh Pires, a guy who had launched an album one or two years back and I had liked one song. But I was somehow interested in [...]
Jailhouse Rock was born on September 24, 1945. This hit of Elvis was written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, and was on Rolling Stone’s list of 500 Greatest Songs of all times. And now, Karan Johar buys this song for his remake of Stepmom and gets it almost killed by one of the country’s [...]

One of the best songs I have heard in past some time. Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy and Vishal, rock together in Karan’s We are Family. So here are the lyrics of the song. aaj phir din hua phir armaan jagne lage chahaten uthi, nayi, lo seene mein benaam si, khwahishen dabi hui kai dilon mein kayi kya hua [...]
And Karan Johar’s next song arrives. OK, not Karan Johar’s song, but his production’s next movie’s first song is out and here goes their first song, Dil khol ke let’s rock which is actually a version of Elvis Presley’s 1957 song JailHouse rock. Thus, Karan Johar and Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy go a step ahead from Pretty Woman [...]
Indian Ocean are really wonderful musicians, and Aamir Khan gets them to sing for his production in a movie which totally suits them. Peepli [Live] gets Indian Ocean’s music and not talking much, I’d say Des Mera is a song that you must listen to. Typical Indian Ocean. Des mera rangrez ye babu Ghat ghaat [...]
After Dev.D, Amit Trivedi composes his next Punjabi song for Aisha. This time the song is sung by his favorite, singer of Pardesi and Iktara male version, Tochi Rainaa. The song is a not-so-fast dance number and instantly reminds you of Dev.D’s Punjabi numbers though the songs in Dev.D were sung by Labh Janjua. Anyway, [...]

Lehren, sung by Anusha, Neuman Pinto and Nikhil is one of the best songs of the album, Aisha. The song is a slow, sad and deep one with some really good and touching lyrics by Javed Akhtar. Here are the lyrics of the song. khoyi khoyi si hoon main kyun ye dil ka haal hai [...]
And, as expected, Amit Trivedi does it. I was not even done with listening to Amit’s Udaan, and his Aisha is here. As per my rule, I decided to go for Amit’s self sung Shaam first, and the song just bowled me over. It’s a soft piece with Javed Akhtar’s matching lyrics. The song reminded [...]
One of the most inspiring songs of Udaan is Geet mein dhalte lafzon mein, sung by composer-lyricist duo Amit-Amitabh. The song is simply some awesome poetry of Amitabh Bhattacharya and you can feel the zest in almost every line of the song. Be it a hardcore ‘haan ye umangon se phoola hua seena, lamha ye [...]
Naav or chadhti lehren laangh na paayen is probably the best song of Anurag Kashyap’s next production, Udaan, which has been composed by none other than Amit Trivedi and with lyrics of Amitabh Bhattacharya. The song, sung by Mohan, has a folkish touch and has Amit’s signature rock mood too. And somehow, I agree with [...]
Sanjay Dutt-Bipasha Basu-Kunal Kapoor starrer Lamhaa is proving to be a complete musical with songs like Madhno and Main Kaun Hoon. And while Mithoon has surprised all by giving the first song of its type to Mika, he does an awesome thing by giving Main Kaun Hoon to Palsh Sen who sings the song like [...]
