July 2008 - Bollywood Music Reviews

Sort by: Most Recent | Most Viewed | Most Commented

  • Chamku

    Where does one point a finger when one isn't quite enthralled to listen to the soundtrack of an album, let aside commenting later on whether it is good or bad? Is it due to 'thanda' vibes that the cast of the film gives (Bobby Deol, Priyanka Chopra)? Is it due to the title, which makes one wonder which genre does the film belong to? Is it the promotion, which gives a strong sense of 'deja vu' with routine mushy song and dance numbers? This is why even as Monty Sharma arrives with...

  • 1920

    Off late, majority of Vikram Bhatt films have been those, which have released after a delay. Speed, Fear, Life Mein Kabhi Kabhi - all of these were films which Vikram had directed long before he took a break and started sorting out the kind of subjects he wanted to make going forward. 1920 is one such film. Since the film is set in a cold colonial kind of an environment, the music is expected to be haunting as well by going with the mood of 1920. There are twin expectations that one has from composer...

  • Hijack

    Music to be composed for an action film is always a tricky business. Not many, except for perhaps Sanjay Gupta, have perfected this art when it comes to movies being made today. So, with expectations of a theme track, a hot item number and a couple of melodious number, one plays on Hijack which promises to show Shiney Ahuja do a Bruce Willis a la 'Die Hard'. Hijack has music by new finds Justin-Uday with Kumaar writing lyrics for this debut directorial venture of Kunal Shivdasani. Write your...

  • Maan Gaye Mughall-E-Azam

    Now this one may turn out to be a laugh-riot. And looking at the likes of Mallika Sherawat, Rahul Bose, Kay Kay Menon and Paresh Rawal coming together on a common platform for a fun ride, Maan Gaye Mughall E Azam promises a whacky soundtrack. However, there are slight apprehensions too. Anu Malik has been inconsistent in his new innings and while Ugly Aur Pagli has been doing well with Love Story 2050 doing OK, there have also been duds like Good Luck and Hastey Hastey. After listening to the soundtrack...

  • Mukhbiir

    Frankly, how much expectation can one really have from the music of a film which deals with the journey of an informer? Even though the film Mukhbiir has youngsters like Sameer Dattani and Raima Sen, at the very outset one knows that this one won't really boast of a conventional soundtrack. So would this Mani Shankar mainly boast of theme pieces? Would there be certain situational tracks? Will a mandatory item number make its presence felt? Would guest compositions by Pritam and Sandeep Chowta...

  • God Tussi Great Ho

    Together, Salman Khan and Sajid-Wajid have delivered multiple hits in films like Partner, Mujhse Shaadi Karogi, Tere Naam, Hum Tumhare Hai Sanam, Tumko Na Bhool Payenge, Hello Brother and Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kya. With their 10 year association continuing to go strong, the trio now comes together for God Tussi Great Ho which also stars Priyanka Chopra and Sohail Khan. Jalees Sherwani and Shabbir Ahmed write the lyrics. It's time to revisit 'It's The Time To Disco' [Kal Ho Na Ho] with...

  • C Kkompany

    Suddenly Tusshar Kapoor seems to be seen a lot more than what he used to till a few years back. He began the year with a guest appearance in Halla Bol, followed it up with an item song 'Manzar' in Sunday, tasted success with One Two Three and now would be seen in C Kkompany. While One Two Three also gave him a popular title song, one looks forward to what is in store for him in C Kkompany that primarily features four songs (two each by Anand Raaj Anand and Bappa Lahiri). Set in a mood similar...

  • Money Hai To Honey Hai

    There was a time when chartbuster music was guaranteed with every Govinda film. It wasn't just a phase; it was a continued journey that Govinda enjoyed all the way from 80's to the 90's where he delivered at least a couple of foot tapping numbers with each of his films. The trend changed though in the 21st century when Govinda took a sabbatical, only to return with popular scores for Bhagam Bhag, Salaam-E-Ishq and Partner, with the last mentioned film being the biggest success, both at...

  • Rock On!!

    Let's directly get to the point. Mid-way through Rock On!!, you end up rubbing your eyes (and also your ears) in disbelief. And by the time one is through the 9 song ordeal of Rock On!!, you start wondering whether it indeed had Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy at their spirited best when they were composing for this film which marks the debut of Farhan Akhtar as a director. Rock On also marks the debut of Farhan Akhtar as a singer who is heard in as many as 5 tracks. First to come is 'Socha Hai' which...

  • Hum Phirr Milein Na Milein

    One wonders which era Hum Phirr Milein Na Milein is set in considering four-five word titles are a passé in the current century. Yes, there was a time when Hum Aapke Hain Kaun, Hamara Dil Aapke Paas Hai, Hum Aapke Dil Mein Rehte Hain, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham, Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam and many more were in the vogue. But ever since Ram Gopal Varma took it upon himself and spoofed usage of long titles in his film Satya, filmmakers did turn a little wary and the trend of using English...

  • Zindagi Tere Naam

    Last year Sajid-Wajid had delivered a big hit in the form of Partner. Towards the end of the year, their title song for Welcome too was an added attraction for the album which otherwise had music by Himesh Reshammiya and Anand Raaj Anand. However, now when their Zindagi Tere Naam has hit the stands, there has been zilch hype or hoopla around it. For a movie that came pretty close to release a few weeks back only to withdraw at the last minute, Zindagi Tere Naam that brings together Mithun Chakraborty...

  • Contract

    When was the last time music from a Ram Gopal Varma film made news? Well, it was close to a year back when Darling came up with at least a couple of tunes that went ahead and made an impression. However, it was meant to be that way since the film was a T-Series production and hence the final result was more Bhushan Kumar than Ram Gopal Varma. Carrying on with the trend of making music that fits more as a background score (Sarkar Raj being the recent example), Contract makes an arrival and one looks...

  • Bachna Ae Haseeno

    Well, these are indeed exciting times for music coming out of Bollywood. Just recently we had Singh Is Kinng arriving with a bang and making a big impression. Now, within a few hours of its arrival on the stands, Bachna Ae Haseeno too has created a huge splash all over. The current year has seen music of number of films doing quite well. Race, Tashan, Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na, Jodhaa Akbar and Jannat are just to name a few. Now add Vishal-Shekhar composed Bachna Ae Haseeno to the list. This one is...

  • Singh Is Kinng

    'With big power comes bigger responsibility' is the saying that fits in perfectly well for a film like Singh Is Kinng. Reasons are aplenty, the stakes are really-really high and expectations have been unparalleled. Wanna reiterate the reasons? Well, this list is long. Read on. a) Singh Is Kinng is THE Akshay Kumar ever since Namastey London. Heyy Babyy was superhit but it also featured Riteish Deshmukh and Fardeen Khan. Bhool Bhulaiyaa was a superhit as well but left his fans asking for more...

  • Good Luck

    Anu Malik is having quite a few albums of his hitting the stands in recent times. While Love Story 2050 and Ugly Aur Pagli have managed to make an impression, Hastey Hastey and Anamika haven't. With Good Luck (that has music by Sameer) not quite making one feel enthused about the music, especially due to the look of the project which isn't anywhere close to being exciting, one plays on the album with hardly any expectations. It's a dull beginning for 'Main Sajda', which takes...
