Bhaag Milkha Bhaag Music Review

Mon, 10 June 2013 05:08:11 GMT

Rating: 3.5/5
To begin with, one isn't really sure what to expect from the music of Bhaag Milkha Bhaag. In fact the very fact that there are as many as eight songs in the album surprises you since in a theme based film with sports as a central element, one expected three to four songs at maximum. However as the soundtrack flows, one realises that Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy along with Prasoon Joshi have come together with the kind of music that would give a solid push to the narrative of this Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra f...

Ghanchakkar Music Review

Wed, 05 June 2013 07:46:59 GMT

Rating: 2.5/5
One expects a quirky soundtrack in Ghanchakkar, an Emraan Hashmi and Vidya Balan starrer which made a fantastic impression the moment its first theatrical promo was unveiled. With it being crystal clear that the film is miles away from what one otherwise brands as a 'quintessential Emraan Hashmi affair', it is also on the cards that the music would be on different lines instead of being abound with Sufi based numbers. Moreover with Amit Trivedi as the composer and Amitabh Bhattacharya lyricist w...

Lootera Music Review

Tue, 04 June 2013 11:27:38 GMT

Rating: 3/5
One expects a score with a period element to it in Lootera which is set half a century back. The musical team chosen is just the right too as composer Amit Trivedi and lyricist Amitabh Bhattacharya are expected to do well in recreating the era gone by. Moreover with the combination of Ranveer Singh and Sonakshi Sinha in there for a romantic tale, it is but natural that music would be the core of affairs. This is proven true in the very first note that Lootera hits as one hears a beaut...

Shortcut Romeo Music Review

Tue, 04 June 2013 13:44:56 GMT

Rating: 3/5
With filmmaker Susi Ganesh at the helm of affairs for Shortcut Romeo, one expects the music to carry a South flavour to it, more so since it is the remake of a Tamil film. However given the fact that Himesh Reshammiya is at the helm of affairs, that theory is entirely discounted. With as many as five distinct songs filling in the proceedings (with remixes to add) and Sameer, Shabbir Ahmed, Sanjay Masoom along with Manoj Yadav contributing as lyricist, there is quite some masti&nbs...

Raanjhanaa Music Review

Mon, 03 June 2013 13:45:00 GMT

Rating: 3.5/5
An A. R. Rahman score for a story which is set in Benaras? Sounds like quite an interesting idea since Rahman's music has time and again carried a Sufi flavour to it while one associates a different sound altogether when it comes to the Holy city of Benaras. Nevertheless, given the fact that Aanand L Rai is one of those filmmakers who is trying to bring in a new grammar on screen while Irshad Kamil's lyrics have time and again worked well with varied composers, there are high expectations from w...

Fukrey Music Review

Wed, 22 May 2013 07:46:15 GMT

Rating: 2.5/5
You are a little sceptical about what the soundtrack of Fukrey has to offer. There are chances that in the name of being zany, the music at times takes off on a different tangent altogether, hence resulting in something that doesn't really soar on the popularity factor. However given the fact that the makers are Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani here, there is also a good chance of something which is different from routine. With an expectation of being surprised, one plays on Fukrey&nb...

Ramaiya Vastavaiya Music Review

Sat, 18 May 2013 12:34:43 GMT

Rating: 3.5/5
Films coming from the house of Tauranis have time and again boasted of good to excellent music. With a keen eye on popular music doing the trick for them, the makers have seldom delivered anything below expectations. One expects the same from the soundtrack of Ramaiya Vastavaiya as well which has been put together by Sachin-Jigar with Priya Panchal as the lyricist. The team has been doing well over last couple of years in coming up with some chartbuster tunes and if the start is anything to...

I Don't Luv U Music Review

Fri, 17 May 2013 17:28:30 GMT

Rating: 2.5/5
Till about a few weeks back, one hadn't heard of this film titled I Don't Luv U. However the moment it was revealed that the film was based on a MMS scandal and the fact that its lead actor (Ruslaan Mumtaz) had shades of his own life being (perhaps) captured as well, there is reasonable visibility that has come in. However with a largely newcomer team coming together for this film which has music by Aman-Benson and Amit Kasaria, one awaits what is in the offering, more so since there are as many...

Yamla Pagla Deewana 2 Music Review

Mon, 13 May 2013 10:37:14 GMT

Rating: 3/5
The Deols (Dharmendra, Sunny and Bobby) are back in their third joint family outing after Apne and the super successful Yamla Pagla Deewana with its sequel aptly titled, Yamla Pagla Deewana 2. Sangeeth Sivan takes over the reins from the original director, Samir Karnik, and the producers have managed to rope in Sharib Sabri and Toshi Sabri (who had earlier composed for films like Jashn, Raaz – The Mystery continues) to provide the music for this film. Lyrics have been provided by...

Aurangzeb Music Review

Wed, 08 May 2013 20:03:59 GMT

Rating: 3/5
Aditya Chopra and Yash Raj Films reinstate their faith in Arjun Kapoor by offering him a dual role in Atul Sabbharwal directed Aurangzeb, a high octane action drama that also stars Sasha Aagha , Jackie Shroff, Prithviraj, Rishi Kapoor, Amrita Singh and Swara Bhaskar in pivotal roles. Music for this film has been composed by relative newcomers, Vipin Mishra (an ex-Parikrama Guitarist) and Amartya Rahut and the lyrics have been provided by Puneet Sharma, Manoj Kumar Nath and Vipin Mishra himself. ...
