Music Review | Baar Baar Dekho | Jasleen Royal, Amaal Mallik, Arko, Bilal Saeed, Badshah

By -
From the list of the songs and artists involved, it looks like the album has a lot of diverse genre of music. I will only know once I listen to it. So, without further ado, let's get into it and see if this album can make me listen to its songs baar baar or it's just a one-song wonder.

Listen on Saavn:

Kho Gaye Hum Kahan
Music : Jasleen Royal
Lyrics : Prateek Kuhad
Singers : Jasleen Royal & Prateek Kuhad
This song made me feel detached from my surroundings. Guitar pickings is the only music to the song. Jasleen's baby voice makes the song innocent. In order to match her voice Prateek Kuhad also has sung it in a soft voice. The song talks about two people getting away into their imaginary world. The song ends with whistling tune which gives it a perfect ending as I can imagine both of them holding their hands and walking away from the camera (not sure how the actual video would be)

Music : Amaal Mallik
Lyrics : Kumaar
Singers : Armaan Malik, Neeti Mohan
The song begins with what sounds like a banjo but is probably a mix of banjo and guitar. As soon as the chorus, the first thing that came to my mind was - Buddhu Sa Mann (Kapoor and Sons). Are the Malllik & Malik duo running out of music ideas? Only time will tell and I hope it doesn't turn out that way. With the kind of lyrics the chorus has, it feels like the singer has found redemption in loving someone.

Music : Arko
Lyrics : Arko
Singers : Arko
"I've spend a lot of time and effort looking for him. He's come to me now. I don't wanna cross the oceans anymore."
What I liked in this song was that every time "Oh Dariya" came in the chorus, Arko sung it in a different style, almost being unpredictable. This is one of the dark horses of the album. The lyrics could've been a bit more elaborate. I felt that the song ended just when the mood was setting in.
Music : Jasleen Royal 
Lyrics : Aditya Sharma
Singers : Jasleen Royal, Harshdeep Kaur, Siddharth Mahadevan
After long time we have a sangeet song. The last one I heard was Daingad (Humpty Sharma ki Dulhaniya). While Harshdeep and Siddharth provide the power and energy in the song throughout, Jasleen provides the occasional breeze of innocence.

The next two are basically a remake of existing popular Punjabi songs. However,  I'll try to be as much unbiased as possible.
Music : Bilal Saeed
Lyrics : Kumaar
Singers : Bilal Saeed 
Original Song: Khair Mangdi
Bilal Saeed sings it as smooth as butter which is probably the reason you won't feel the hard-hitting emotional lyrics so much unless you carefully pay attention to them. I listened to the original song after listening to this version. I can definitely say this one is better (which is not always the case). The original song now sounds like a remixed version.
Music : Originally Composed by: Prem Hardeep & Recreated By: Badshah
Lyrics : Amrik Singh, Kumaar
Singers : Amar Arshi, Badshah, Neha Kakkar, Indeep Bakshi
What do I say about this song? This song was released even before the trailer of the movie was launched and as expected immediately went viral. This is not meant for listening, it is meant for dancing. Badshah nailed it with his rap portions *clap clap clap*. I don't know what was more irresistible in the female portions - the lyrics, Neha Kakkar's singing or imagining Katrina showing off her moves. :P

I am not a big fan of music albums that have multiple music composers. Majority of the times, the variation in the genre of songs ruins the mood of the movie. However, not this one. I loved this album. It is full of surprises. So, here are my favourites from the album:
Kho Gaye Hum Kahan
Dariya
Teri Khair Mangdi
Kala Chashma

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 | 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 | 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

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 | 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
