Music Review | Padmaavat (formerly: Padmavati) | Sanjay Leela Bhansali

By -
[1] While Padma n is heroic, Padma avat is majestic. Padma n is driven by story, Padma avat is driven by story-telling. Padma n has music, Padma avat IS music. The bar is set high by the director-music composer himself - Sanjay Leela Bhansali. Can he outdo himself? Let us find out! Music Release Date: 21st January 2018 Listen to the album on: Saavn Gaana YouTube Ghoomar Singers:  Shreya Ghoshal , Swaroop Khan Lyricist:   A. M. Turaz,   Swaroop Khan This song is meta . It talks about the Marvadi  dance form of ghoomar while being a ghoomar itself . This song has been out for a while now. The song paces up appropriately. I started to swing my head to the beats and ended up listening to this song for 45 minutes straight. During those 45 minutes, I enjoyed Rajasthani folk,  Shreya Ghoshal's intoxicating voice,  watching Deepika dance,  dancing to the beats myself(reminded me of Navratri)  and Swaroop Khan.  It is not ofte...

[FULL ALBUM] Music Review | Raees | Ram Sampath, JAM8

By -
The hype is real for this movie. Does it matter to me? No. What matters to me is whether Ram Sampath and JAM8 managed to overpower that hype with their music. We'll find that out at the end of this post. Album Release Date: 23rd January 2017 (Click on the song title to play it on Saavn) Laila Main Laila Music Composer: Ram Sampath Singer: Pawni Pandey Lyrics: Indeevar What romantic movies does to women, porn does to men. This song brings together both of these - king of romance and (ex)-queen of porn (no disrespect but it seems that was the intention here). Does the song fail to impress in terms of music (obviously it has already impressed in other terms)? The catchphrase tune and the choir parts are really addictive. This song doesn't give Pawni Pandey (Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Lil Champs finalist) a chance to showcase her singing prowess with overpowering music but it does open up a lot of opportunities for her. Check out the lyrics of this song here:  http://...

Music Review | Mukkabaaz | Nucleya, Rachita Arora, Vineet Kumar Singh

By -
[1] Just as Emraan Hashmi and amazing music go hand in hand. Same can be said for Anurag Kashyap's movies. The last time he handed over the mantle of music to a female composer, the album created history and has a cult following even today. While rest of you'll get excited for his movies, I get excited for the music in his movies. So let us get started. Music Release Date: 21st December 2017 Listen to the album on: Saavn Gaana Wynk YouTube Paintra/Paintra Extended Version Music Composer: Nucleya Singers:  D IVINE, Ravi Kishan Lyricist:  Vineet Kumar Singh How have I been living my life without listening to such an amazing Hindi rap song until now? I have always wished for a proper Hindi rap song from Bollywood. Yo Yo Honey Singh and Badshah are just pseudo rappers. Real rap songs have deep meaning. DIVINE has drawn the first blood with this song in the Hindi rap genre that is going to rise over next couple of years. This song motivates you to make a move ahe...

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) S...

Music Mention | Judwaa (1996) | Anu Malik

By -
What better way to reminiscence old music than just before reviewing the remake of it. It took me a long time to digest the fact that it has been 21 years since the release of this movie. I was in kindergarten back then. Throughout my school and college life we used to jam on the songs of this movie. I have watched this movie so many times that I have dialogues memorized by now. Salman Khan used to ACT back then and he was my favourite. Moreover, the Anu Malik songs we cringe to today, were chartbusters back then and have a cult following. For those who are new to Beats and Beyond or need a reminder, 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. This is the blog version of  Music Talk series  on my  YouTube channel . Movie Release Date: 7th February 1996 Listen to the album on: Saavn Gaana Wynk YouTube Duniya Mein Aaye Singers: Kavita Krishnamurthy, Kumar S...
