Music Review | Housefull 3 | Mika Singh, Sharib-Toshi, Sohail Sen, Tanishk Bagchi

By -
Another Sajid Khan movie *sigh* 
Another slapstick comedy featuring Akshay Kumar *sigh*

 Let's get done with it as fast as possible
Listen to Housefull-3-2016 on Saavn
*30 minutes later*

My review below will be unbiased by the fact the it is going to be a mindless comedy Sajid Khan film and will be biased towards good music. *fingers crossed*
Pyar Ki
Music: Sharib-Toshi
Singers: Sharib Sabri, Toshi Sabri, Nakash Aziz, Divya Kumar, Anmol Malik, Earl Edgar
Lyrics: Manoj Yadav, Farhad-Sajid, Danish Sabri


You had six singers and three lyricists and what chorus did you come up with? "Pyar Ki Maa Ki Aaj Se Puja Karni Hai". *please kill me already* The song starts with a vibe similar to Hookah Bar and goes downhill from there. Not only the music is cliched and the lyrics are crappy, they also couldn't find sufficient lyrics. They went ahead and included 'Baba Baba Black Sheep' and 'Jack & Jill' verses in the song. Check out the lyrics yourself here. I couldn't move past the trauma of bad lyrics to actually review the song.


Taang Uthake
Music: Sohail Sen
Singers: Sohail Sen, Mika Singh, Neeti Mohan, Mamta Sharma
Lyrics: Sameer Sen, Farhad-Sajid, Mamta Sharma, Sanjeev Chaturvedi


This is actually a catchy song! It got me dancing in my head while listening the first time itself. Soon I realized it was the Mika effect. Mika effect states that - any song that Mika Singh playbacks for is bound to be dance tapping number and a chartbuster. The female portions of the song are just forgettable and are just used to give the lead actresses something to lip-sync to.


Malamaal
Music: Mika Singh
Singers: Mika Singh, Akira, Miss Pooja, Kuwar Virk
Lyrics: Rani Malik, Farhad-Sajid


Starts off like Balam Pichkari. This is also a classic example of Mika effect. The autotune in the female parts surprisingly goes well with the song. I like how the song just uses Punjabi lyrics throughout and doesn't try to appeal with Hindi bits in between. Of course there are English parts in the song too, but those are obviously for the NRI Punjabi audience.


Fake Ishq
Music: Tanishk Bagchi
Singers: Kailash Kher, Nakash Aziz, Altamash Faridi
Lyrics: Sajid-Farhad, Arafat Mehmood


Finally a song that might actually be used to take the story forward. It's a qawwali-styled breakup song with quirky and funny lyrics. Kailesh Kher's voice tries to bring in the dard in the song but lyrics want it otherwise :P 
I will end up listening to this song on loop. It's catchy (maybe it's just my personal preference for such type of songs - Jugaad from Fukrey and Nakkadwale Disco from Delhi Belly)
This album started off really bad but managed to save a bit of it's a**. Since this album has only four  songs I'll pick just one song.

TOP PICK OF THE ALBUM:
1. Taang Uthake

Honorable Mention: Fake Ishq


That is all I have for this album. I hope you liked this review. If you do then feel free to share it. Let me know you favourite song of the album or if you have any suggestions/feedback - in the comments below. Until then, Ciao...!

Music Review | M. S. Dhoni - The Untold Story | Amaal Mallik

By -
Cricket is religion in India, so is Bollywood. The two have come together in the past. They come together again with a movie based on India's most loved and successful cricket captain - Mahendra Singh Dhoni. So, without further ado, let's get into it and see if this album is able to build the same love among masses. Listen on Saavn: Listen to M.S.-Dhoni---The-Untold-Story-2016 on Saavn (Click on the song title to play it in YouTube) Besabriyaan Singer: Armaan Malik Lyrics: Manoj Muntashir The song talks about impatience to move away from current mundane and low-key life. One needs enough motivation from inside to do that and Manoj Muntashir nails it with lyrics in bringing out this motivation. Armaan Malik showcases his singing versatility yet. Amaal Mallik has kept the most important song of the movie surprisingly underwhelming. The song peaks on high notes just before the chorus and the chorus itself is soft spoken. Kaun Tujhe Singer: Palak Muchhal Lyr

Music Mention | Wrong Side Raju (Gujarati) | Sachin-Jigar

By -
If you are a gujju  or understand gujarati language, you can also check out my video review for the music album of Wrong Side Raju here: If not, read on! The page is all yours. Welcome back to another Music Mention post. My last post in this series on  Sairat (Marathi)  was quite popular among my readers. This time around we'll be talking about a gujarati movie. I've picked this movie for a couple of reasons: 1. Sachin-Jigar composition 2. Arijit Singh 3. Produced by Abhishek Jain who has directed some of my favourite gujarati movies like  Kevi Rite Jaish (How Will I Go)  and  Bey Yaar (Yo Pal!) 4. Produced by Anurag Kashyap 5. I am a gujju :P Let me reiterate it again. This is a special case of my music reviews. It is more of a music mention than a review. I liked something and I want others to be aware of it too. (that sounds like the social media culture of this generation of kids :P) (Click on the song title to play it in YouTube) Satrangi Re   (It'

Music Review | TVF Humorously Yours (Web Series) | Vaibhav Bundhoo

By -
Last one and half years has seen a surge in web mini series. All of them targeting the ' t raditionally a verse t o t elevision' y outh ( t.a.t.t.y. ). So much has been the impact of these web series that even the mainstream players like YRF and MTV are creating content on YouTube. However, the most ingenious and the pioneer of web series have been The Viral Fever (TVF). They have really managed to match the wavelength of t.a.t.t.y. with all their web series. Apart from their amazing plot, TVF's content is also known for out-of-the-box soundtrack. I decided to start reviewing music for web series last week and was contemplating whether to start with my favorite one or the latest one (the struggle is real). To make my decision easy TVF launched the original soundtrack for their latest TVF Humoursly Yours .  I would've had done a Music Mention of my favourite music album among web series had TVF not released this one. But since it's officially released, this counts a

Music Review | A Flying Jatt | Sachin-Jigar

By -
I am not so much interested in the movie. The only reason I chose to listen to this album was Sachin-Jigar. I've been a big fan of their music. Do I have high expectations from this album? Well, it's conflicting - Tiger Shroff movie makes me question my expectation but I also know that Sachin-Jigar will not compromise.  So, without further ado, let's get into it and see if this album can set it's songs flying like the Jatt himself or falls flat on the ground Listen on Saavn: Listen to A-Flying-Jatt-2016 on Saavn (Click on the song title to play it in YouTube) A Flying Jatt - Title Track Lyrics : Vayu & Raftaar Singers : Raftaar, Mansheel Gujral, Tanishkaa  I like this song. Period. Now let's get into one thing that bothered me. I understand this song is dedicated to the kids (even though lyrics have alcohol references), but a 8-year old girl (Tanishkaa) singing the following lines is just wrong - "Flying jatt mera BFF hai,  Aur iklot

Music Review | Dhanak | Tapas Relia

By -
I understand this is a late review from my side. In my defence, I heard one of the songs two days back and it compelled me to write this review. From what I saw in the trailers I am guessing there'll be a lot of folk music and lot of innocent lyrics since the movie is about two kids. Alright, without further ado, let's get started and see whether this album provides a "Rainbow (Dhanak)" of songs or are they monotonous.  Listen on Saavn Listen to Dhanak-2016 on Saavn Listen on YouTube Jeene Se Bhi Zyada Jeeyein Singer: Shivam Pathak First thing you'll notice is Shivam's voice in this song is similar to Sukhwinder Singh. It is not necessarily a bad thing. You are soon forgotten by that once you are brought to notice the fusion of folk rustic vocals along with fast-paced guitar strums. Chal Chalein Singers: Papon, Vibha Saraf, Shivam Pathak A failed attempt to try to many instruments in a single song. The percussion in the chorus cou
