Music Review | Happy Bhag Jayegi | Sohail Sen

By -
The last full-fledged album we heard by Sohail Sen was Gunday which had it's share of decent songs (Remember, Tune Maari Entriyaan?). So has been the case with a lot of his previous albums. There have always been two-three terrific songs in his albums. Will be looking out for those in this one too.

So, without further ado, let's get into it and see if this album can maintain my 'Happy' mood or will bhagao my mood just like how 'Happy' ran away.

 Happy Oye
Singers: Harshdeep Kaur, Shahid Mallya
Lyrics: Mudassar Aziz
"You cannot stop her. The more you try to stop her, the more she'll rebel and do her own."
'Happy' is such a soft and mellow name and this song is about her. The songs starts with heavy bass guitar and then you have Harshdeep Kaur and Shahid Mallya - two of the very powerful singers. What an irony! The lyrics sucessfully paint out the Happy's badass personality and both the singers did really great job.

Singers: Mika Singh, Tarranum Malik, Neeti Mohan, Danish Sabri
Lyrics: Mudassar Aziz
English Rap Lyrics: Dee MC
It's the Mika effect - need I say anything further? Yes, obviously because this is a review :P
Even if I try to trivialize the lyrics, there is one line in chorus which definitely deserves to be proof-read. It says "Ho bada killer tera style hai, Mona Lisa smile hai". Have you seen the famous Mona Lisa painting? Even if I try to find it with a microscope, at most I'll find a smirk and not a smile. Is it wrong that I missed Hard Kaur in the English portions and the rap?
Singer: Sohail Sen ft. Altamash Faridi
Lyrics: Mudassar Aziz
Qawalli-ish type of song. I call it partly qawalli because in the song both the singers sing totally different genre of music. Sohail Sen's portions have melody feel while Altamash Faridi's portions (including the chorus) are qawalli. Coming to the chorus - "Tera, tera… tera hua haan, Aashiq tera, tera… tera hua haan". Just the name of the song itself is the entire chorus.
Singer: Arijit Singh 
Lyrics: Mudassar Aziz
A mediocre start to the song. Patiently waited till the chorus and successfully pulled me back into it. This song not only rides on Arijit Singh's voice but the lyrics are also powerful. The song is from a guy's perspective towards a girl whose presence in his life has a strong influence in his personality and confidence. "Tujhse milke dil ko ye yaqeen ho gaya, Aaine mein main sab se haseen ho gaya, Tu nigaahein phere to lage yun mujhe, Mujhse khoobsurat har koi ho gaya". This is my favorite song of the album.
Singer: Javed Ali
Lyrics: Mudassar Aziz
Heavy urdu lyrics which is a strong point in Javed Ali's popular songs like Khwaja Mere Khwaja (Jodha Akbar) and Kun Faya Kun (Rockstar). I like how the singing is underplayed which makes it perfect for passive listening. If you listen closely, you'll find two voices in the chorus. Javed Ali's voice has been used again for the harmonies instead of backing vocals.


The album didn't turn out to be a disaster at least. As expected, I found a few shiners. So, here are my favourites from the album - Zara Si Dosti and Yaaram.

That is all I have for this album. I hope you found this review useful. 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 | 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 | 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
