..and Vishal-Shekhar are almost back to being Vishal-Shekhar. Ooh la la is, as it is supposed to sound, does sound like an average famous song of ’80s n earlier ’90s. Bappi Lahiri is a nice choice for the song and Shreya is not even questionable. The ‘gira ke apna pallu’ part is a total twenty-years-ago [...]

The title song is not really a great one, and just passes the regular Neeraj Shridhar number mark. While the next, Tik tuk tik tuk is an interesting one, not just because of additive music and lyrics but also Daler Mehndi. The next, Neeraj Shridhar and Sunidhi’s Pardaa Nasheen, again is not too impressive, even [...]

To start with, Vishal-Shekhar have tried to created an album as international as possible. Out of the fifteen tracks, there are a number of themes, and some four of the songs have good amount of English. The album starts with Chhammak Chhallo, about which I don’t think I need to write much as the song [...]

After what I saw in the promos, and after knowing that the songs were sung by Amitabh, what came in the first song, Haal-e-dil, definitely surprised me. This romantic number has the first half sung by Amitabh with very little music in the background, and when the music is there in the second half, it [...]
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 [...]

Tees Maar Khan comes as a relief. The relied that Vishal-Shekhar finally create something that is not the same as I Hate Love Storys and Break ke Baad. As for what it IS, the music comes as some Masala music for the masala film Tees Maar Khan is going to be. The album starts with [...]
I have some strange opinion about Break ke Baad. I was quite waiting for the album and now that it’s arrived and I see things similar to what I had expected, I am disappointed. The album sounds quite like a typical Vishal-Shekhar thing, something I never wanted to exist, because I never wanted them to [...]
The very first on Anjaana Anjaani. After IHLS I was somehow expecting pretty high from the album, but Vishal-Shekhar go beyond my expectations. It’s certainly worth a listen. The album starts with Anjaana Anjaani ki Kahani which is already there on televisions for quite sometime. While the short promo of the song rocks, the song, [...]
Siddharth Anand and Vishal-Shekhar look like in a mood to give some huge surprise with the music of Anjaana Anjaani. After the strange demand of Siddharth, of music being not-good-to-listen-for-the-first-time, there is this soundtrack list which I have got and this too has some surprises in it. For starters, the album starts with a song [...]
If you’re not much into Urdu, this one may bowl you over as Sadka/Sadqa has a meaning that doesn’t come easily from the song Sadka kiya. Sadka literally is ‘giving voluntarily in the name of God’. So the lines Sadqa kiya yoon ishq ka actually mean that the person in question has given love in [...]
Sona Mahapatra has an excellent voice, but then it’s such a different from a usual female singer’s voice. Probably that’s the major reason she doesn’t get to sing huge number of songs despite her talent. But then, when she gets something that suits her voice, you certainly get to hear something good. This time there [...]

Vishal-Shekhar have one of the kings of rock among themselves, one who is called for rock songs by so many composers in Bollywood. But then, Vishal-Shekhar themselves call upon Suraj Jagan to sing this song, so definitely the song had to be good. And so it is. Well, Sadka kiya is not really a rock [...]

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 [...]
I was absolutely in love with the song from the very first time I heard Shafqat Amanat Ali Khan singing ‘hai kya jo tere mere darmiyaan hai’ and right through the song I kept loving him, until Sunidhi comes up to sing ‘raah mein roshni ne hai kyun haath chhoda’ which sounds like something additional [...]
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 [...]
