I love Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy. But when it comes to Karan Johar, I suddenly become skeptical. I know Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy have given some fabulous music for Karan’s movies from their first song together (Kal ho na ho, title), but somehow I think Karan doesn’t use the full potential of Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy and I think there are several proofs of [...]

Vishal-Shekhar’s I Hate Love Stories had been a long expected album, at least for me. And I guess they have done it. Bin tere, I hate Love stories, and Sadka kiya, I’m loving it. The album starts with Jab Mila tu, which is quite like Dostana’s Jaane Kyun. That way, the song cannot be called [...]
Well, it’s good, but it’s typical. The second song that comes up from I Hate Luv Storys sounds more like some old song of Vishal-Shekhar. In fact I can give you something close too. Jaane Kyun dil jaanta hai… from Dostana. Yes, it’s Vishal again, singing the new song, and probably that’s one more reason [...]
Ek ladki thi deewani si, ek ladke pe wo marti thi, jab bhi milti thi mujhse, mujhse poochha karti thi, pyaar kaise hota hai, ye pyaar kaise hota hai? aur main, yahi keh paata tha.. What the f….. I wonder if there could be a better start to the movie, or say, the trailer too. [...]

Rajesh Roshan has come a long way from Julie to Kites. And here he composes again for the person he does it best. For his very own nephew Hrithik, for their home production, Anurag Basu directed Kites. Now that the movie has been in limelight for quite some time, and Hrithik has not done a [...]
I was wondering what Rajesh Roshan was coming up with when I read the names of Vishal Dadlani and Suraj Jagan on the cover of Kites. Definitely it had to be something Rocking, but then, the song starts on quite some low, easy on ears notes and it takes some time before Rajesh Roshan builds [...]

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 [...]

Shankar Ehsaan Loy have become a music factory this year. Before the score of one movie starts fading, they come up with the next. This time it’s Hum tum aur ghost, starring Arshad Warsi and Diya Mirza. With lyrics from Javed Akhtar again. Here is a review. Dekho Raste mein is a fast, peppy, but [...]
Raju Singh’s music means mostly catchy tunes, and Prem kaa game is no exception. This time he comes up with some big names like Sonu, Sunidhi, Shreya, Javed Ali and even Vishal Dadlani. The result is nothing great but he manages to make an average album. Here is a review.
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 [...]
It’s different. It’s all about dance and you’ll get to know that when you get to hear the songs. Composer Adnan Sami, who composes all the songs of the movie except ‘Just Do it’, has tried to make the songs catchy and energetic but hasn’t been very successful in making things all good. In some [...]
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: [...]
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 [...]

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 [...]
