Bachchan’s probability mumbo-jumbo sounds silly in an otherwise-enjoyable, Bond’ish Life is a game; fantastic vocals by Sonia Saigal and Anushka! Summertime (George Gershwin’s original used as-is) has corny lyrics, but the zingy pop works instantly, thanks to Joe Alvares’ vocals. The title song is likeable techno-pop with a psychedelic soundscape. Sunidhi is scintillating in the [...]

Music review: Rann (Hindi – Assorted composers)

Posted by: Karthik In: Hindi OST

Jayesh Gandhi’s Remote ko baahar is plain ridiculous. Sanjeev Kohli’s thematic Rann hai is best suited as background material, while the two obviously catchy tracks – Amar Mohile’s Mera Bharat Mahaan and Imran-Vikram’s Gali gali mein – are utterly predictable. The rest – Besharam, Kaanch ke jaise and Sikkon ki bhook – are completely pointless. [...]

Music review: Paa (Hindi – Ilayaraja)

Posted by: Karthik In: Hindi OST

Mudhi mudhi (and Udhi udhi) is one of the trendiest songs of the year; zingy, superbly sung by Shilpa Rao and exceptionally orchestrated! Gumm summ, after its various versions – one in Hindi itself (Aur ek prem kahani’s Sunday ko), still sounds as lilting as the original, Olangal’s Thumbi vaa. Hichki is muddled, at best, [...]

Music review: Aladin (Hindi – Vishal-Shekhar)

Posted by: Karthik In: Hindi OST

Tak dhina dhin is Pancham all the way, with a punchy new sound to the boot, much like Bachke O Bachke, which has select portions of its tune in the Pancham genre, but the overpowering orchestration, well…overpowers the song. Genie rap is a considerably better AB-rap than what his bhakt-for-life, Aadesh, composes – that is [...]

Re-ranting about Aadesh Shrivastava

Posted by: Karthik In: Piece of my mind!

<!–adsense–>
I’m outraged at Aadesh Shrivastava brainlessly expressing his outrage at Bachchan’s portrayal in Slumdog Millionaire. So, here’s a quote-to-quote response, besides those incredible comments he’s been getting in the page linked above!
“How dare you degrade our national icon Amitabh Bachchan?”
Meaning: “I need to say these things about the B so that I get at least [...]

God Tussi Great Ho (Hindi, Sajid Wajid)

Posted by: Karthik In: Hindi OST

Let’s party is a lame attempt at the Shankar Ehsaan Loy kind of music, while the title song is an irritating mess. The Aati kya khandala knock-off with the Malad angle, Tujhe aksa beach ghuma doon is surprisingly neat with a childishly catchy tune! Neeraj Shridhar sounds unlike his usual ebullient self in the stylish [...]
