Music review: Aamras (Hindi – Tabun Sutradhar, Shamir Tandon)

Jabse hum is the musical equivalent a decade-old chick-flick, with its lyrics posing perfectly Google-able existential questions, while VIVA’s reunion in We are the teen queens is equally back dated and ho-hum. That’s Shamir Tandon’s sorry contribution, leaving the severely neglected Tabun to make minor amends. Tabun’s choice of Kailash Kher for the delightfully earthy Chote chote; the childishly rhythmic exuberance of the friendship ditty, Sambhali hai and the 80s styled pop in Vasundhara Das’ Koi kuch bhi make for decent listens. But, Jojo sings to himself like a self-conscious Indipop novice in the functional Tere bin. Tabun sweetens Aamras!
