I don’t think there is anything like waking up to find that soundtrack of the most awaited movie of 2010, My Name is Khan, is out. Composed by Shankar Ehsaan Loy, this album consists of 6 tracks, without any remixes! Yeah, that’s 1 point from the very beginning. Good start! Let’s get to the review.

My Name Is Khan music review

1. Sajda

The soundtrack starts with a soulful sufi number, Sajda, rendered beautifully by Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, Shankar Mahadevan, and Richa Sharma. Lyrics are beautifully written by Niranjan Iyengar. It’s one of those type of songs, which you would like to listen by closing your eyes to give yourself some peace. It’s definitely a situational song, no doubt about that. During the first listen, it may come out to be an ordinary song to some people but listen to it again and pay attention to the lyrics, you’ll find the magic!

2. Noor E Khuda

After a melodious Sajda, next comes Noor E Khuda. Many of you may remember this song from the trailer of My Name is Khan. Noor E Khuda has been sung by Adnan Sami, Shankar Mahadevan, and Shreya Ghoshal. To be honest, I didn’t know what to expect when I read Adnan’s same on the tracklist. But, he turns out to be the show stealer here. His voice provides the soothing feel to the song which is required. Shreya Ghoshal is at her usually best. Oh, did I mention how good is the chorus? Yeah, it’s awesome! Lyrics are again brilliant. Another touch of genius, I say!

3. Tere Naina

You must be wondering, it’s a Karan Johar film with Shah Rukh Khan, how come there is no romantic song? Well, your wait is over. But, I must say that it’s not your typical KJO romantic number. It’s a background song and yes, it’sufi, beautifully sung by Shafqat Amanat Ali. Man, this album is on a roll till now.

4. Allah Hi Rahem

After a beautiful romantic number, we are again back to singing praises of God, which is a good thing, by the way. Another awesome background song, with sufi touch. Off topic, I think everyone should listen to this song once a day. I mean, how many of us really remember the good Lord? It’s a good way to do that, no? If you’re an atheist then you can pretend not to listen to the beautiful lyrics in the name of God. And, I think I forgot the mention the name of the singer, it’s Rashid Khan.

5. Khan Theme

I think many of you will be able to guess that it’s an instrumental piece. It’s a good one and I think it’ll be used a lot in the movie.

6. Rang De

Rang De brings us back to SEL’s rock roots. Mixing rock and sufi is always a good choice. Guitar riffs at the starting of the song kind of reminds me of Rock On. Shankar Mahadevan, and Suraj Jagan take the mic to sing Rang De. I think chorus could have been a little better but that’s ok. Rest of the song is rocking, especially the bridge.

Verdict

My Name is Khan is an important film for everyone involved in this and not to forget, Bollywood. As it’s a getting a big release by Fox Searclight, this can be the perfect opportunity to make our cinema global. The soundtrack is a complete detour for Shankar Ehsaan Loy and Karan Johar. Every song is a situational song and all of them have a sufi touch. This soundtrack has raised my hopes for the movie. If you’re tired of listening to total commerical remixes with stupid remixes and want to listen to something meaningful, then My Name is Khan is your choice. Moreover, I think this can be a good gift for your parents as most of the album is in the name of God. They like to listen to such stuff, just kidding.

Anyway, the soundtrack of My Name is Khan is remarkable. And, it’s a must in everyone’s collection. A brave and honest effort, which should be applauded.

Kurbaan Music Review

newsdose

After the success of Wake Up Sid, Dharma Productions are back with a new movie, Kurbaan starring Saif Ali Khan, Kareena Kapoor and Vivek Oberoi. Kurbaan has an intersting plot and even more interesting poster. You can’t deny it, can you? Well, we are here to talk about the soundtrack of the movie. There are total 6 songs out of which 5 are originals and 1 is remix. Let’s get down to the review.

Kurbaan Music Review

1. Shukran Allah – The very first song of the album is a really nice romantic number featuring Sonu Nigam and Shreya Ghoshal. Saleem is on the chorus. If you’ve loved songs like Teri Ore, Khduaya Ve etc then you’ll love this. The beat pattern is quite similar to Teri Ore. But, I’m not complaining. Lyrics are typical romantic, nothing new except the title words, of course.

2. Dua – After a very nice romantic number, Salim-Sulaiman gives Dua with an interesting combo of Sukhwinder Singh and Kailash Kher. The music is pretty much average and I don’t like the english verse in the song. Both the singers are good as usual.

3. Ali Maula – Ali Maula, performed by Salim Merchant is a situational song. Well, the song contains lots of urdu words which give the song a unique feel. It’s not meant to be an entertaining song. It’s much more along the lines of “Maula mere lele meri jaan” of Chak De India. It’ll sound pretty good as background score in the movie. Thumbs up!

4. Rasiya – Rasiya is another situational song and has a very mysterious feel to it. Performed beautifully by Shruti Pathak, Rasiya will take you to a whole new world if you listen to it with your eyes closed. If used right, it can be really haunting during the movie.

5. Kurbaan Hua – Here’s the show stopper of the album. Typical a rock number which very suit Vishal Dadlani’s voice, this song is going to be a chart topper. Their last effort, Nazara Hai of 8 x 10 Tasveer went unnoticed though it was a very good song but this will definitely be on everyone’s lips. The chorus is mindblowing, simply amazing. Kudos to Vishal for singing it so beautifully. Two thumbs up!

Billu Barber Music Review

newsdose

Billu Barber, Red Chillies production, is already making waves for its hot item numbers which feature top actresses of Bollywood; Deepika Padukone, Kareena Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra. First things first, Billu Barber is the film of Irrfan Khan and not Shahrukh Khan, which many people are assuming. It’s the first time that Pritam is giving music for Shahrukh’s production and same with Neeraj, who is giving background voice for Shahrukh Khan.

The soundtrack of Billu Barber comprises of 15 tracks, yes 15, and out of that, 7 are originals and the rest of the tracks are remixes. Well, the first thing that goes in favor of Billu Barber is the wide range of songs. From typical club bangers to village anthems, everything is in there. And for the first time after Jab We Met, songs don’t appear to be copy of South Korean artists, I hope it’s true, Pritam. Now, let’s review the soundtrack.

1. Marjaani

The opening track of the soundtrack, also the first promo of the movie, featuring Kareena Kapoor and Shahrukh Khan, is already a hit among the masses. Most of the credit should be given to Sukhwinder Singh and Sunidhi Chauhan. The voice of Sukhwinder is perfect and Sunidhi adds her own magical touch. I don’t think any other singer can do so much justice to this number. Also, credit should be given to Pritam, for providing the rocking music.

Lyrics are top notch, but people who are not much used to Punjabi lyrics and the language, can find it difficult to understand the lyrics. But, when the music is so thumping, you hardly get a chance to think about the lyrics, if you’re in a club.

2. Love Mera Hit Hit

Love Mera Hit Hit, is undoubtedly, the biggest club number of the year, I don’t think any song in 2009 will be able to match its energy, and enthusiasm. Add to that super hot dance number of Deepika Padukone, Love Mera Hit Hit, is a sure shot hit. The real star of the song is, of course, Neeraj Shridhar. Tulsi Kumar, can be wrong choice for some, and honestly, I didn’t like her during the first listen. But, she grows on you gradually. Sunidhi or Shreya could have done a better job, considering Shreya Ghoshal did an awesome job in Latoo, in the soundtrack of Ghajini.

Music is of the highest quality, and sets the mood for a perfect dance number. What makes this song a contender for the national anthem of this year is the lyrics, especially on the chorus. Ashish Pandit and Mayur Puri have done a wonderful job with the lyrics and Pritam has done his job again.

3. You Get Me Rockin & Reeling

You Get Me Rockin & Reeling, supposedly to be performed by Priyanka Chopra and Shahrukh Khan can be a letdown to some. Unlike the first two songs, You Get Me Rockin & Reeling will not catch your attention during the first listen and it’ll take a lot of plays to grow on you. But, I think the music video of the song will change everything because if we go by the cover art of the album, music video of this song will be the best of the three.

Neeraj can’t do much of a job in this song because he doesn’t get so much scope to perform, and add to that some English verses, which were not required at all. The only high point of the song is the chorus, which surprisingly, is also used in another song in the album.

4. Ae Aa O

I don’t have really much to write about Ae Aa O, as it is not that original, but the guitar riffs in the starting rocks! Well, the song is basically about how great I’m. It’ll certainly appeal to those who think that they are the best and need some song to send out that message.

Music doesn’t have any consistency, sometimes it’s a total bore and sometimes, especially during the guitar riffs, it just blows you away. KK tries really hard to make it amiable but succeed to some extent, but the 5 minute length of the song kills it in the first place.

5. Jaoon Kahan

After 4 songs belonging to Shahrukh Khan, Jaoon Kahan is about the emotions of Irrfan Khan. Sung beautifully by Raahat Fateh Ali Khan, Jaoon Kahan is one of the best songs of the album. I’ve noticed that Raahat Fateh Ali Khan has a unique ability to take any average song to a whole new level with his voice, and Pritam knows it very well.

Lyrics clearly describe the emotions of Irrfan Khan, and all the credit goes Sayeed Quadri. The main backdrop of the song, can sometimes make you remember Teri Ore, from Singh is Kinng. Emotions are perfect and you’ll love this song, and honestly, you will not mind the length of the song.

6. Billoo Bhayankar

Billoo Bhayankar really tests the talent of Pritam and surprisingly, he passes with 100 out of 100 with this one. Billoo Bhayankar is not a chartbuster song, and some songs are never meant to be chartbusters, they are meant for critical acclaim. From singing style to lyrics to music and the music instruments, everything is unique.

The success of the song belongs to Gulzar, who wrote wonderful lyrics for the song, and probably the most difficult ones. Ajay Jhingaran, Raghuveer and Kalpana have done a brilliant job in rendering their voice to the song. It would certainly be a high point in the movie.

7. Khudaya Khair

Khudaya Khair is a typical romantic number but refreshing Soham Chakraborty, In Dino fame, is a surprise inclusion in the song and he is the one who make this song a worthwhile listen. Akriti Kakkar and Monali do a good job in supporting the vocals of Soham. Lyrics are fine and the chorus of this song is the same that of You Get Me Rockin & Reeling.

Verdict

Billu Barber is a clear winner for Pritam, who for the first time gives us some original music. Marjaani and Love Mera Hit Hit are the two number ones hits of 2009. Soundtrack comprises of critical material such as Billoo Bhayankar and Jaoon Kahan.

The rest of the three original songs are average and only one of them has the ability to be a hit when the music video will be released. The biggest downfall of the album is the 8 remixes. If I gave an extra star to Dostana for not including any remix then I’ve to cut 1 star from Billu Barber for including so many remixes. Honestly, there was no need of so many remixes.

Nevertheless, Billu Barber is a great album and it’s a good start for Billu Barber, the movie.

Chandni Chowk To China Music Review

newsdose

Chandni Chowk To China, to be released next year, is already making news for its subject and treatment. Starring Akshay Kumar and Deepika Padukone in the lead, this movie is expected to rock the box office collection. Moreover, it’s produced by Warner Bros. who are looking for their first in India after debacle Saas Bahur aur Sensex.

The soundtrack of Chandni Chowk To China is indeed very interesting. Shankar Ehsaan Loy gives their second best soundtrack of the year after the momentous Rock On!! The Chinese influence in the soundtrack is a nice touch and brings something new to the table. The soundtrack of Chandni Chowk To China comprises of 6 original tracks and 2 remixes.

1. S.I.D.H.U

Well, S.I.D.H.U is not your average track because it has lively lyrics and superb singing by Kailash Kher. Somewhere in the song you’ll also laugh because of the funny lyrics. From the song you can get the idea of the condition of Akshay Kumar in the movie. Music is of classical genre but you’ll not be bored for 1 second mainly because of lyrics and Kailash. I know I’m talking about the lyrics a lot but seriously, you’ll love the song once you listen to it.

2. Chandni Chowk To China

After the superb S.I.D.H.U, here comes the second winner of the soundtrack, the title song, Chandni Chowk To China, which was released as a song promo few days back. It starts off really well with the hip-hop music and the Chinese touch as I mentioned earlier. But I wish they’d kept it that way only during the whole song but they introduce the Indian touch after a minute. It’s not that it kills the song but I would have preferred it as Hip-Hop + Chinese song. Neeraj, Shankar, and Anushka do a splendid job in the song. A chart-buster hands down.

3. India Se Aaya Tera Dost

After a superb run, here come a letdown in the form of India Se Aaya Tera Dost, sung by Bappi Lahiri and Ravi K Tripathi. What is Bappi Lahiri doing in the song? Moreover, he can’t pronounce “Salaam” properly. Add to that 6:29 minute length of the song, this song is a big no-no!

4.Tere Naina

Tere Naina is superb, that would be an understatement for this song. Sung superbly by Shankar Mahadevan and Shreya Ghoshal, Tere Naina will catch your attention from the first listen only. Music is so good that sometimes I feel that I’m in the future while listening to it. I know it sounds stupid but seriously, there is something really good about this song. Best song of the soundtrack hands down and kudos to SEL for giving us such a fabulous track.

5. Chak Lein De

While S.I.D.H.U was a superb song by Kailash, Chak Lein De on the other hand is an above average song. It you listen to it 4 or 5 times it’ll surely grow on you mainly because of the lyrics and santoor in the song. Kailash gives the right amount of energy required for the song and makes it worth a listen.

6. C C 2 C

Now here we have Akhsay Kumar trying to rap in Punjabi with Punjabi rapper Bohemia. Sounds interesting, right? But Akshay is a big letdown in this one. You can clearly figure out that Akshay is trying so hard to rhyme but it’s not working at all. He sounds like a wannabe. Add to that self-proclaimed lyrics “Saara Bollywood ek mera koi nahi mel, acting karne chale hazaroon baadshah ek baaki saare fail.” This is not a very good idea Mr. Akshay Kumar. You sound really arrogant.

Verdict

Chandni Chowk To China is a sure shot winner for Shankar Ehsaan Loy and for the entire team of the movie. It’s a really fresh soundtrack with great lyrics and superb singing. Tere Naina clearly stands out and will be loved by all. Title track and S.I.D.H.U are two chart-buster songs and rest of the stuff is just average material. Also check out the covers of Chandni Chowk To China, Deepika looks stunning in her two avatars.

Ghajini Music Review

newsdose

Ghajini Movie Review – 2 stars

Ghajini is, indubitably, Aamir Khan’s most awaited project till date and he has done a great job in promoting the movie till now, but the trailer didn’t seem to have the excitement which is required for an action film, and if reports are to be believed, it’ll surpass every action movie made till date. But those are just reports, so we can’t trust them much.

We’re here to review the soundtrack of Ghajini, which quite surprisingly released only a month before the release date. Well, I think that’s because Aamir Khan was not sure about the songs because they are not really good. Soundtrack of Ghajini comprises of 6 tracks, 5 originals and with one instrumental. Just like Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, A. R. Rahman tried to concentrate on originals rather than remixes.

Here is the song by song review of Ghajini

1. Guzarish

Guzarish, the song which was released in the trailer of the movie as the background score, and also the first song promo to be released from the album, is a soothing experience. Melody of the song is really smooth and simple, A. R. Rahman style, and the lyrics are above average. Sung by Javed Ali, the man behind the hit, Jashn-E-Bahaara, from Jodhaa Akbar, is not a good choice for this song and guest vocals are by Sonu Nigam. If you’ve Sonu Nigam in the song, who is doing more justice to the song just by “humming” then you should give the whole song to Sonu.

I’m not saying song is below standard or something, but the only thing that I’m pointing here is Javed doesn’t feel like a good choice as it doesn’t suit his voice. Sonu Nigam or Roop Kumar Rathod would have done better job. But, overall, Guzarish is an amiable song which can find a little place in your I-pod.

2. Aye Bachchu

I listened to Aye Bachchu a lot of times before writing this and sorry to say, it’s such a cool wannabe song. I’ve no idea how this song would fit in the movie, but I think it’s an item number, going by the lyrics. Well, there is nothing great about Aye Bachchu, lyrics are so ignorant, music is below standard, and Suzzane doesn’t do any favor to the song by pronouncing “bye bye” as “bi bi.”

3. Kaise Mujhe

Kaise Mujhe, another romantic ballad, sung by Benny Dayal and Shreya Ghoshal, is another average love song. Well, I really don’t know what to say, if the lyrics are so wannabe soppy. “Uparwale ko fursat nahi, phir bhi tumhe bana ke vo, meri nazar mein chhad gaya”, or this one “Kaise tum mujhe mil gaye, Kimsat pe aaye na mujhe Yakeen”, please explain this stuff to me. Prasoon Joshi, you got it all wrong this time.

It’s not his fault alone, A R Rahman’s melody is too difficult to sing for Benny while Shreya does a terrific job in the song, and you’ve a sigh of relief when she comes to sing, almost after half of the song is finished. Listen it only for Shreya, and I hope we’ll get an only Shreya version of the song.

There is also an instrumental version of Kaise Mujhe, as the last track of the album.

4. Behka

After Tu Bole Main Bolu, A R Rahman try to do another jazz stuff, although Tu Bole Main Bolu was an instant classic, Behka is a below average affair. Behka is sung by Kartik, and lyrics, I should point it out again, have no sense at all. There is no consistency in the lyrics and you really don’t know what it means unless you listen to it as if your life depends upon it.

I don’t see it as a situational song, so I assume it would be a background song, but that’s not a good choice if you’re trying to show the condition of Aamir’s character in the movie. As film is dark, looks from promotions, it’s really ironic that none of the song has a dark feel.

5. Latoo

Another weird title joining the league of “100 weird song titles from Bollywood”, Latoo is the second best song of the soundtrack. Not a genius work, but if you’ve to go through so many bad songs in a row then anything will appeal to you just for the sake of it. A R Rahman should thank god because he has Shreya, who made this almost dead beat song a worth wile listen.

Honestly, I was really looking forward to the soundtrack, after listening to Guzarish, but I was totally disappointed by the soundtrack. Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na is one of my favorite albums, and undoubtedly, one of the best works of A R Rahman. But this time, he got it all wrong just like he went wrong with the music of Yuvvraaj. Lack of sales of Yuvvraaj proves my point and I think Ghajini will not perform any better.

Moreover, I don’t see the point of so many songs in a movie like Ghajini, which is a remake of Hollywood classic, Memento, directed by Christopher Nolan, the man behind the master piece, The Dark Knight. I don’t understand why they’re focusing on so much romance while the movie is itself an action film. I’ve not seen the Tamil Version of Ghajini, so I don’t know what to expect from this. Sold for 93 crores, Ghajini is a very costly affair for the distributors, and as I already said previously, if the music of the movie is good then half of the battle is won, which is not in the case of Ghajini.

Verdict

Ghajini is another average Bollywood album with only 2 amiable songs which you can listen to again and again. After disappointing Yuvvraaj, A R Rahman gives another prosaic album. People say that it takes a lot of listens to like Rahman’s album and I agree with them, but you can listen to this as many times you want, it won’t change your opinion. Ghajini is only for A R Rahman fans and for others, there is always something else in the store.

Bachna Ae Haseeno Music Review

newsdose

With a series of flops going on for Yash Raj Productions both in terms of movies and music, they surely have great hopes from Ranbir Kapoor’s, Bachna Ae Haseeno. Promos look promising and Deepika is looking hot as ever. So, will this movie change the fate of Yash Raj Production in terms of music? Let’s find out.

Bachna Ae Haseeno

1. Khuda Jaane

This is the first song of the movie and it is a song which takes some time to get over you, considering its slow pace and the female singer that doesn’t suit the song at all. Lyrics are less or more average only. But, if you watch its music video, then surely you’ll like it. But as I said earlier, the Shilpa Rao doesn’t suit the song. You’ll feel even weirder when you watch the video because her voice doesn’t suit Deepika at all.

But overall, it’s a nice song but a bit lengthy too.

2. Lucky Boy

It starts with a nice Punjabi verse, and then Sunidhi comes and ruins the song. It’s not her fault too because the song itself is below average i.e. lyrics and the music. I can bet that, this song will be picturized on Bipasha Basu. It’ll certainly not appeal to guys, but, it can be popular in girls. And, I don’t know why they included Hard Kaur in this. Just like Khuda Jaane, it takes some time to get on you.

3. Aahista Aahista

Nice use of guitar in the starting of the song and that guitar solo lasts for almost a minute! Lucky Ali and Shreya Ghoshal make a nice duet and Shreya is good as always. It’s been a while since I listened to Lucky and his voice sounds refreshing. As of music, it is above average. But 5:52 minute length of the song kills it on the first place. If they would have made it shorter, then it would have been a moderate hit.

4. Jogi Mahi

When you listen to it for the first time, you get a lot of expectations from this song because of Shekhar’s great voice, but by the time you reach the hook part, lyrics just drop to level 0 and it doesn’t go in sync with music. Song is good only in the verses but it is really bad at the hook or chorus. Both Sukhvinder Singh and Shekhar give a first-class performance on it. Himani Kapoor is also palatable.

If you just don’t give care about lyrics for this song, then it would be sound really nice to you. One of the best songs of the whole album.

5. Small Town Girl

I really can’t understand that why they put this song in the album? It’s one of the worst songs to come out this year and it doesn’t make any sense. Songs starts with great guitar riffs. But then, it turns into crap with even more crappy lyrics.

“Chhoti ungli pe nachayegi tumhe, she’s a small town girl”

What the hell man? What kind of lyrics are these? Somewhere it’ll also sound like, “Ticket to Hollywood”, as Shankar Mahadevan is on the song and music is somewhat also the same. I don’t know why he did this song. Worst track of the album.

6. Khuda Jaane Revisited

The one and only remix of the album and I’ll not talk about it.

7. Bachna Ae Haseeno

Aaaww! The classic song. I was really looking forward to it, but again, Vishal-Shekhar didn’t do full justice to it. Why do you need Sumit Kumar on the verse man? He sounds so substandard on this song. Rapping is great by Vishal. But the chorus by Kishore Kumar is still a classic and it is the best part of the song. Listen to it for Kishore Kumar only.

I don’t know what has happened to Vishal-Shekhar, who gave such a hit album, Om Shanti Om. Maybe, they should take a break for some time and reinvent themselves. As for the album, it is an average album without a blockbuster song. Music should have been extraordinary for this movie, since there is so much hype around it.

2.5/5 (Better luck next time unlucky boys)
