Sorry Bhai!

BollywoodHungama.com Music Reviews — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 06:35:05 GMT

First things first, if Bas Ek Pal was the calling card of Mithoon who shot to limelight with 'Tere Bin' then watch out for Gaurav Dayal. He may well see good things happening for him in months to come if Sorry Bhai is any indication. The songs bear a certain quality to them and bring with them the kind of sound that spells quality. Let's play them on to see how Gaurav has come together with lyricist Amitabh Varma to promise another successful soundtrack. K.K. spells quality and it is...(read more)

Khallballi - Fun Unlimited

BollywoodHungama.com Music Reviews — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 09:40:02 GMT

This is one film which made quite some noise around 6 months back while it was being shot. A film with as many as 32 comedians was an unheard of venture and Khallballi - Fun Unlimited made sure that it hogged the limelight with this very fact as its USP. Now as the film is being readied for release this month, the focus has shifted to song and dance routine, understandably so since Sajid-Wajid are at the helm of composing. However, the duo has been inconsistent ever since it arrived on the scene...(read more)

Dasvidaniya

BollywoodHungama.com Music Reviews — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 06:50:03 GMT

Rock On, Phoonk, Mumbai Meri Jaan, Welcome To Sajjanpur, A Wednesday, 1920 - Unconventional subjects have worked at the box office if one looks at the spate of releases in the quarter gone by. In the times when low/medium budget films are earning decent revenues for themselves, arrives Dasvidaniya'(that stands for 'Goodbye' in Russian) which features Vinay Pathak in the lead. Though one wonders about how songs would be placed in this unconventional film, Kailash Kher has been roped in...(read more)

Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi

BollywoodHungama.com Music Reviews — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 06:04:04 GMT

Aah, now this one is a huge film. For a 10 year old who may still be wondering what's the fuss about the coming together of Shah Rukh Khan and Aditya Chopra, a trip to Maratha Mandir, Mumbai, is mandatory to check out Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge which is still running there for 13 uninterrupted years. And for the grown-ups, Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi hardly needs an introduction. Of course, the music of any Yash Raj Film is special because regardless the fate of some of their recent films, music continues...(read more)

Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye!

BollywoodHungama.com Music Reviews — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 07:02:02 GMT

2 years back when Khosla Ka Ghosla had released, not many had a clue of what exactly the film was all about. To everyone's pleasant surprise, the film went on to become a success and a new director was introduced - Dibakar Banerjee. Spinning a tale revolving around middle class people, he now comes up with Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye! (OLLO) which is backed by UTV, the company which had also taken over Khosla Ka Ghosla. Title song 'Oye Lucky' is a kind of number which will sooner or later find...(read more)

Heroes

BollywoodHungama.com Music Reviews — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 09:40:03 GMT

On the face value, Heroes is a huge project. After all, it isn't every day that one finds Salman Khan, Sunny Deol, Mithun Chakravorty and Preity Zinta sharing a common platform. However, since the film is supposed to be episodic in nature, one is unsure about the way the film's narrative would eventually turn out to be and whether the fans of each of the actors would have their hands full of them. One is also a little apprehensive about the music even though it has Salman's favorites...(read more)

Horn Ok Pleassss

BollywoodHungama.com Music Reviews — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 12:48:01 GMT

There are some projects from which one doesn't have any hope whatsoever. Reason is simple. The initial promos of the film do not give an impression of a quality product. Nana Patekar in the lead (in spite of the film being a comedy) doesn't make one look forward to a melodious outing. Moreover, the film's title itself doesn't give one much hopes. Horn Ok Pleassss is one such project. To make matters worse, composer Lalit Pandit hasn't given one decent soundtrack ever since his...(read more)

Dostana

BollywoodHungama.com Music Reviews — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 06:03:03 GMT

Expectations from a soundtrack belonging to a Karan Johar film are straight forward - It has to be nothing but superb. With the kind of music that his films have boasted over the years (Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna, Kaal, Kal Ho Na Ho, Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai), there is no reason why Dostana should be any different. Add to it names like Vishal and Shekhar who truly understand the pulse of today's youth and you know that this Abhishek Bachchan-Priyanka Chopra-John Abraham starrer...(read more)

Roadside Romeo

BollywoodHungama.com Music Reviews — Fri, 03 Oct 2008 06:08:04 GMT

Originally scheduled to arrive in summer of 2008, Roadside Romeo finally gets set to release in theaters this Diwali. Though the film's teasers have been on for close to a year, it is only now that the audio has hit the stands. With the film aiming for an October 24 release, one wonders whether YRF is really serious about promoting the music since there are only 3 weeks to go before the D-day arrives. Nevertheless, one plays Roadside Romeo CD, which has music by Salim-Sulaiman, who have recently...(read more)

Golmaal Returns

BollywoodHungama.com Music Reviews — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 07:11:00 GMT

2 years back, Golmaal was just another comedy multi starrer that had hit the screens and turned into a success. Circa 2008 and suddenly one finds its sequel, Golmaal Returns, being elevated to the status of being a potential blockbuster. Reasons are aplenty: a) The first installment of Golmaal is still afresh in the mind of cine goers and is being appreciated in it's satellite and DVD run. Write your own music review of Golmaal Returns b) The sequel looks bigger and better with Shree Ashtavinayak...(read more)

Emi

BollywoodHungama.com Music Reviews — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 05:53:04 GMT

These are exciting times for Bollywood. In a matter of two months, we are seeing diverse films like Rock On, Phoonk, A Wednesday, Saas Bahu Aur Sensex, Welcome To Sajjanpur and now EMI hitting the screens. The kind of films which break the prototype. The kind of films which do not follow a set formula. The kind of films which wouldn't have gone beyond even an idea stage a few years back, let alone being filmed on celluloid. Starring Sanjay Dutt in the lead, EMI talks about 'take loan, buy...(read more)

Fashion

BollywoodHungama.com Music Reviews — Sat, 20 Sep 2008 06:32:00 GMT

Fashion is the biggest project for Madhur Bhandarkar. Majority of his films have been low budget affairs (no, we are not counting Aan - Men At Work), whether it is Trishakti, Chandni Bar, Satta or Traffic Signal. Page 3 and Corporate saw the bar being raised when it came to money being spent on projects but Fashion jumps all bars when it comes to budget being set for a Bhandarkar film. The film has been mounted on a lavish scale, boasts of top-line actors (Priyanka Chopra, Kangana) and even sees...(read more)

Ek Vivaah Aisa Bhi

BollywoodHungama.com Music Reviews — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 09:59:04 GMT

'Ek Music Release Aisa Bhi' - That's an apt way to describe the manner in which the music of Rajshri's latest Ek Vivaah Aisa Bhi has arrived on the stands. You tend to rub your eyes in disbelief to see the CD of this film which stars Sonu Sood and Eesha Koppikar since there hasn't been any promotion whatsoever of either the movie or the music so far. Agreed that Barjatyas follows an unconventional route of publicity of their films but placing an album on stands sans any buzz whatsoever...(read more)

Welcome to Sajjanpur

BollywoodHungama.com Music Reviews — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 06:17:05 GMT

These are exciting times for Bollywood. Otherwise how else could one see so many films in queue for multiplexes when till a few years back, titles like Welcome To Sajjanpur, Saas Bahu Aur Sensex, Dasvidaniya or I Am 24 would not even have been approved, let alone being commissioned to be made into films. However, things have changed that has resulted in directors like Shyam Benegal too changing routes and telling a sensible story in a comic narrative. That's Welcome To Sajjanpur which has music...(read more)
