June 2008 - Bollywood Music Reviews

  • Kismat Konnection

    Now one strongly believes that this one can't really go wrong. After all with names like Pritam, Shahid Kapoor, TIPS, UTV and Aziz Mirza involved, there is no reason why the music of Kismat Konnection shouldn't 'konnect' with the audience. Add to it the great run that everyone associated with the film is enjoying off late and one is led to believe that the music of Kismat Konnection would be just the right follow up to Pritam's hit brigade of 2008 - Race and Jannat. With lyrics...
  • Thodi Life Thoda Magic

    Pyaar, Life, Magic - There is a lot happening in spite of 'thoda thoda fight' when it comes to title war in Bollywood! If Yash Raj Films are ready with their Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic, another film called Thodi Life Thoda Magic is also getting ready to release around the same time. However, in terms of scale and setting, this one has a smaller canvas with music by Vinay Tiwari and lyrics contributed by Sunil Jogi, Aanand L Rai and Irshad Kamil. Since there is hardly any awareness about the...
  • Ugly Aur Pagli

    Guess Ugly Aur Pagli is turning out to one film where the leading actors are not worried at all about the joke being on them. So much so that even the film's title doesn't spare them and calls out the leading lady as mad and the man as ugly looking! The actors in question? Ranvir Shorey and Mallika Sherawat, the unlikeliest of couples, just as was in case of PNC's last romantic comedy Pyaar Ke Side Effects. This time around, it is Anu Malik at the helm of affairs and one hopes that he...
  • Ada... a way of life

    2008 has been a great year for Rahman fans. While the maestro works on one or at most two Bollywood projects every year, 2008 has already seen the arrival of Jodhaa Akbar, Jaane Tu…Ya Jaane Naa and now Ada...A Way Of Life. However, not many are aware that the music of Ada...A Way Of Life was actually composed for a different project immediately after Rahman was through with Lagaan. Though the project never saw the light of the day, director Tanvir Ahmed came up with a new subject and launched Ada...
  • One Fine Monday

    Oh yes, I have indeed become greedy. After all May 2008 turned out to be a record month when it comes to music albums hitting the stands. At last count, after reviewing 18 albums in a single month, I wanted to check out what more was in the offering from Bollywood. After all there had been some good albums (Haal E Dil, Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Naa, Love Story 2050, Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic) and a few outrightly forgettable albums (Mere Baap Pehle Aap, Dashavatar (animation), Mr. White Mr. Black) . With...
  • Mehbooba

    Once upon a time there was a man called Ismail Darbar who stormed into the Bollywood music scene with Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. He followed it up with another Bhansali flick Devdas and it seemed that Darbar would be heard a lot more in years to come. Unfortunately, that was not the case to be as films like Shakti - The Power, Deewangee and Baaz followed with none of them making much of a mark musically. Yes, there was a one off Kisna too but Darbar had to share credits with Rahman there. Now years...
  • Mission Istaanbul

    Apoorva Lakhia certainly likes to make movies with strong men in tow. Ek Ajnabee, Shootout At Lokhandwala and now Mission Istaanbul - 'macho' has been the keyword in each of the films made by the young director. If Shootout At Lokhandwala was his biggest film till date, Mission Istaanbul seems to be taking a step forward with global terrorism as the theme. Just like SAL, Apoorva ropes in multiple composers for Mission Istaanbul too with contribution coming from Anu Malik, Shamir Tandon, Chirantan...
  • Aamir

    Sometimes a small film can make a huge impact. For no particular reason, somehow one feels that Aamir would be one such film. Even though the film arrives sans any media hype or promotion, there is something about this production that makes one look forward to what does the film and its music have to offer. Though one doesn't expect the film's lead Rajeev Khandewal to be dancing to the tunes created by Amit Trivedi with lyrics by Amitabh, there are expectations of a quality soundtrack in...
  • Summer 2007

    Name Gourov Dasgupta may not really ring a bell. However, if we mention that he is the same man who was behind tunes like 'Dus', 'Jaaniye', 'Aaja Soniye', 'Nach Le Soniye' and 'O Maahiya' from the film Dus Kahaniyaan, it does get noticed. After a six months wait since the release of Dus Kahaniyaan, composer Gourov Dasgupta is back with his score for Summer 2007. Though the film has taken a little longer to hit the screens (it is 2008 already and the film would...
