Music Review | Junooniyat | Meet Bros Anjjan, Jeet Gannguli, Ankit Tiwari

By -
Do you remember Sanam Re? Probably because of the title track. Expecting the same with this one too. 

 I don't have very high expectations from this one but I am hoping at least one track shines out (Jeet Gannguli, pointing towards you).

Alright, without further ado, let's see if this album brings out the "Junooniyat (Passion)" in its songs and make me listen in loop.


Listen on YouTube
*upload pending by T-Series as of writing* 


Nachange Saari Raat
Music: Meet Bros
Lyrics: Kumaar
Singers: Neeraj Shridhar, Tulsi Kumar, Meet Bros
The moment this song started it screamed 'chartbuster'. No matter what the lyrics is, the beats are going to rock the dance floors for a few months at least.  The only thing I did not like about the song is the rap by Meet Bros. And then coming to the chorus - definitely seemed to have heard it somewhere. *search mode on* No credits in the video description on YouTube. Looked up the same name on YouTube and this popped up - Stereo Nation - Nachange Sari Raat. The original is so much better than this one.*sigh* Why Bollywood, why? Apparently, T-Series has the rights to the original version and hence...

Mujhko Barsaat Bana Lo
Music: Jeet Gannguli
Lyrics: Rashmi Virag
Singers: Armaan Malik
Armaan Malik is really good and provides the depth this song required. In terms of music, this is Jeet Gannguli staple melody track and is bound to be played on loop until next one comes out.
Ishqe Di Lat
Music: Ankit Tiwari
Lyrics: Manoj Muntashir
Singers: Ankit Tiwari, Tulsi Kumar
This is one of the few unorthodox songs by Ankit Tiwari I've heard in recent times. Is it good? Yes, definitely. What is good you ask? The foot-tapping chorus. However, if you try to draw parallels, the tone of this song is similar to Sun Raha Hai Na Tu (Aashiqui 2) - a sad song with a jovial music.

 Junooniyat
Music: Meet Bros Anjjan
Lyrics: Kumaar
Singers: Meet Bros Anjjan, Falak Shabir
How I wish this was an unplugged version. Too much music to commercialize it might just have ruined the song by a couple of notches. With the powerful voice of Falak, he still manages to bring out the emotions in the loud music.
Pagalon Sa Naach
Music: Meet Bros Anjjan
Lyrics: Kumaar
Singers: Khushboo Grewal, Meet Bros
Mood of Balam Pichkari (Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani) and lyrics of Dhating Naach (Phata Poster Nikla Hero). I am guessing this song will be remembered only until the release of the movie. Nothing special.
Tu Junooniyat (Climax Song)
Music: Jeet Gannguli
Lyrics: Manoj Muntashir
Singers: Shrey Singhal, Akriti Kakar
I like this singer - Shrey Singhal (pardon if I was unaware of him earlier). His voice is crisp. It's a powerful song with hard hitting beats until you reach the chorus. It's soft and mellow for two lines. *thumbs up* However, those are the only two lines I have a problem in terms of lyrics "Tera ishq hai, meri saltanat, Tu hai zid meri, tu junooniyat". 


A fractured album overall. Patched from various songs to come up with chartbusters that'll provide mileage to the movie until its release. Anyways, here are my picks.

 TOP 3 PICKS:
1. Mujhko Barsaat Bana Lo
2. Tu Junooniyat (Climax Song)
3. Ishqe Di Lat

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

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.

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

Music Review | Raaz Reboot | Jeet Gannguli, Sangeet-Siddharth Haldipur

By -
If you enjoy watching YouTube videos more than reading a blog post, you can check out my video review for the music album of Raaz Reboot here: If not, read on! The page is all yours. It is an established fact that songs from Emraan Hashmi's movies are always a great treat to ears. Add to that three songs by Arijit Singh - DOUBLE BONUS! Raaz has been the most successful horror movie franchise in Indian cinema. If not for their story then definitely for their music. So, without further ado, let's get into it and see if this album can make me fall in love ghosts or scares the shit out of me. Listen on Saavn: Listen to Raaz-Reboot-2016 on Saavn (Click on the song title to play it in YouTube) Lo Maan Liya Singers: Arijit Singh Lyrics: Kausar Munir The song is sung so soft and mellow that you don't even realize it is heartbreak song. Some portion of lyrics might sound a bit creepy - "Lo maan liya dekha hi nahi,  Tere kaandhe ka wo til". The only not

Music Review | Udta Punjab | Amit Trivedi

By -
Finally..!! I've been waiting for this album for a long time. Why you may ask? Because Amit Trivedi. He is one of my favorite music composers. What I really like is that it takes a couple of repeated listening to truly understand the feel of the song and its musical intricacies. My review below will be unbiased by the fact that I am a Amit Trivedi fan  and will be biased towards good music. *fingers crossed* Mehh! I know good music follows below this. Listen to Udta-Punjab-2016 on Saavn *2 hours and 3 listenings later* Chitta Ve Singer: Babu Haabi, Shahid Mallya, Bhanu Pratap Lyrics: Shellee This is an addiction. The song I meant - well the stuff this song talks about is also an addiction. I think this is the first time I've heard narration in a song as lyrics. The introductory rap portions in the song provides a glimpse of how an addict behaves while the rest of the song highlights the effects of chitta ve and the situation of addicted people in Punjab.

Music Review | Dishoom | Pritam

By -
I've been waiting for this album since I saw Jacqueline Fernandez make her moves and fell in love with her, again. I have very high expectations from this album. Pritam is the King of Musical Arrangements. No matter how much people criticize him for taking inspirations from other songs, his albums are always topping the charts.  So, without further ado, let's get into it and see if this album can dishoom out all the nightmares of bad songs I have listened to this year. Listen on Saavn: Listen to Dishoom-2016 on Saavn (Click on the song title to play it in YouTube) Sau Tarah Ke Lyrics: Kumaar Singers: Jonita Gandhi, Amit Mishra WARNING: Just a little biased after watching the video featuring Jacqueline Fernandez. As the song started, my feet started tapping slowly moving upwards, my shoulders starting shrugging. Then came the drop before the chorus and ran an adrenaline rush in my body. Got all pumped up opened the lyrics of the song and started singing a
