SOTY 2 Music review

Music review of the unsurprisingly bad and flat Student of the year 2. This album makes the part 1 soundtrack feel like a classic, which it was NOT. https://soundcloud.com/user-42438886/music-review-student-of-the

Qaidi Band – Music review (Audio link)

Jab Harry met Sejal – Music review

Pasting the review that first appeared on moifightclub here. You can listen to my music review on B.B.C. link here. One of the things you have to do when you review film music is to review almost every film album, and when you summarize the year, you get a real picture of the music scene – …

Commando 2 – Music Review

The insufferable music of Commando 2 has nothing new to offer. My review - http://www.bbc.com/hindi/media-39083013

MSD – Template overload yet surprisingly good at times!

Thoughts on the music album - M.S. Dhoni - The Untold story Music - Amaal Malik and Rochak Kohli Lyrics - Manoj Muntashir M.S. Dhoni has done many a good things for the aspirational small town cricketer because of  which he will always be a shining star in the narrative of modern day cricket. In …

CokeStudio 9, Episode 2

Bholay bhalay saiyya - starts with the autotuned (or whatever the hell it is called) voice of shani Arshad. It didn't put me off because experiments are important aren't they? I am quite keen to understand how the song was conceptualised. In a bid to sound a bit too 'desi', the nasal calls of 'saiyyan' …

Review #CokeStudio8 Episode 6

Previous Episode review here - 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 Ve Baneya  is a song that is fused brilliantly with an old song of Reshma. All of us have a film song for which we have bought an entire album at some stage in our lives. Mulazim Hussain's part reminds you of that song. He is …

Music review – Hamari Adhuri Kahaani

Like it or not, Mohit Suri gives out contemporary melodies which resonate long after the film leaves. Hamari Adhuri Kahani music is no different. With a new talent 'Ami mishra' giving out the 'teri galiyan-sque' song for the film and Arijit in top form in the title song (Thanks to his collaboration with the soothing …

Music review – Dil Dhadakne do

A soundtrack which will depend on 'Great locales', 'exotic settings' and 'tourist attractions' to get wah wah from the crowd. On standalone basis, it is a disappointing joke of an effort from S.E.L. who sound exactly how they have been sounding since quite a while with rare exceptions like D-Day, Bhaag Milkha and few more. …

Muh Dikhai – Shafqat Amanat Ali

The first track is a punjabi number (maahi maahi) and even though Shafqat's singing is flawless, the song sounds cluttered due to various instruments which are used. You can't help but feel that the nature of the song didn't need such a wide array of instruments. Mind you, the instruments are in sync but there is …

Music review – Bombay Velvet

Sharing my music review of Bombay Velvet.. http://www.bbc.co.uk/hindi/multimedia/2015/05/150515_bbc_music_vm.shtml Shallow, over the top presentation of tunes which could have been so much more, but are let down due to lazy lyrics. Appears over produced and is not at all durable. Buckle up people! Please don't feed me bullshit about how hard you have worked for an …

Hi, Here is the link for the album that you must play to get information out of any enemy you capture.

Aatma – Music review

Aatma, written and directed by Suparn Verma is slated to hit the theaters on 22 March 2013. Suparn gave a first hand preview of all the tracks and here is what I thought of it. Lullaby - Sangeet haldipur gets behind the microphone for this one to give us one of the best twisted lullaby …

CokeStudio at MTV – Season 2, Episode 1

Saathi Salaam - Ustad (yes I would address him as 'Ustad'. So what if MTV doesn't?) Sawan khan shakes and stirs the soul with a captivating start to this composition and Clinton quietly makes space for himself alongside the Ustad and delivers what is easily the most powerful song of this episode. The coordination, music …

Gangs of Wasseypur – Music review (Ok…Almost!)

ये पोस्ट सबसे पहले यहाँ छपी है - The complete track listing and credits and an option to buy can be found here  1. Jiya ho bihar – The song starts with faint ‘thaaps’ as if a traditional song but soon is joined by electric guitars and then the techno arrangement leads us to the very …

AgneePath – Music review

Yes, it's here. The much awaited (Ok not much awaited album but what the heck!). Let's hear it all out shall we? 1. Chikni Chameli - A rehash of a popular Marathi Song. Yep no points for guessing it because the beginning is pleasantly very very 'Marathi'. Never been a fan of such songs but …

Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster – Music review (and a loud Brrrrrrruuuaaaaah!)

1. Right from the word go, You know what you will be getting from jugni, a quick pace superb dance number. Thanks to hindi film music, we always imagine a punjabi song to be ‘dance and balley balley’  and while some songs try very hard to be ‘different’ but this one is what i will call …

Zindagi na milegi dobara – Music review…well almost! :)

1. Kab tak giney- Yes it is the electric guitar with quick tempo drums...what else do we expect from a movie with SEL (shankar ehsaan loy) these days. Ok Ok it does add a little bit of youth quotient to the sound of it.  Shankar mahadevan, Joi and Suraj Jagan sing this one. The sudden …
