Just as the year is about to end and you all are in a rush to leave behind the past and get over with it, I am in the same boat as you. I have missed reviewing these albums and now I am giving you quick reviews of them to sign off for the year. A lot of you readers might not be aware about some of these movies, hence I have provided IMDb links to plot summary. So without further ado, let's get right into it! (Songs highlighted in  RED  are my picks from the each album. You can just listen to these and get the feel of entire album in case you are short on time or feel like you have better things to do in life than listen to music) Chef Music Release Date: 26th September 2017 Listen to the album on: Saavn Gaana Wynk Music:  Raghu Dixit Plot Summary:  IMDb Shugal Laga Le is an uplifting slice of life song with Goan beats. I had heard this song a lot of times on radio and always liked it but never got a chance to look it up. It is nice to finally associate it with a

[1] Neither does bhai need an introduction nor does music albums of his movies. So without any introduction let's get started already! Music Release Date: 12h December 2017 Listen to the album on: Saavn Gaana Wynk YouTube Swag Se Swagat Singers:  Vishal Dadlani , Neha Bhasin Lyrics:  Irshad Kamil With such bass heavy beats and powerful voices by Vishal Dadlani and Neha Bhasin, the lyrics of this song are surprisingly humble for Salman Khan standards. This song is an earworm, partly because it has been playing everywhere and partly because of looping beats. This is one of those F- the-lyrics-and-dance-to-beats song. Dil Diyan Gallan Singers:  Atif Aslam Lyrics:  Irshad Kamil Some songs are worth melting for . This is one of those rare gems in a Salman Khan movie when music, singing and lyrics blend in beautifully. This is THE Atif Aslam from Coke Studio that Bollywood is yet to explore - a combination of sufi, qawwali and romance. Zinda Hai Singers:  Sukhwin

[1] Fukrey was a sleeper hit that was a treasure chest of music. I still listen to the title track, Ambarsariya and Jugaad from the prequel. Does that raise the expectation for the sequel album? Not really, because I usually do not have very high expectations from comedy movies. Also, Fukrey was composed by a single music composer (Ram Sampath) unlike its sequel which has a different composer for each song. So let us get started! Movie Release Date: 24h November 2017 Listen to the album on: Saavn Gaana Wynk YouTube Mehbooba Music Composer: Prem & Hardeep, Laxmikant-Pyarelal Singers: Neha Kakkar, Yasser Desai, Raftaar, Mohammed Rafi Lyrics: Kumaar, Anand Bakshi Neha Kakkar killed it with her seductive voice. This song features stop-and-go beats, which if you don't know, made Zara Zara Touch Me (Race)  the sexy song it was. So if you are wondering, as a guy, why this song gives you tingling feeling, now you know. Contrary to the popular notion, this song is not a

Rajkumar Rao has had a splendid year in terms of his movie selection. This was one of the reasons why I chose to pick this album for review. I am not sure what I should be expecting from this album but looks like a mixed bag. So hopefully we find some gems! Movie Release Date: 24h November 2017 Listen to the album on: Saavn Gaana Wynk YouTube Jogi Music Composer: Arko Singers: Yasser Desai, Aakanksha Sharma Lyrics: Arko This is a template love song. It has all the elements required to make you go awww. The lyrics are very clean and sanskari. The vocals were a little bit suppressed which gave a nasal tone for Yasser Desai. I would have liked otherwise. Aakanksha Sharma has just a few lines in this song. Main Hoon Saath Tere  Music Composer: Kaushik-Akash-Guddu (KAG) for JAM8 Singers: Arijit Singh Lyrics: Shakeel Azmi, Kunaal Verma This song is a big disappointment. The entire song is monotonic. There is no variation in pitch or tempo throughout. There was no excite

Good Morninggggggg Mumbai! The movie might be different but the use case is similar. Vidya Balan returns portraying another character of radio jockey. This time she's plain jane housewife with a chirpy personality and sexy voice. The reason I am talking about her is because my guess is that this entire album will be driven by her character. So let's get started with it! Movie Release Date: 4th November 2017 Listen to the album on: Saavn Gaana Wynk YouTube Ban Ja Rani Music Composer: Guru Randhawa, Rajat Nagpal Singers: Guru Randhawa Lyrics: Guru Randhawa This is a soft and mellow song but at the same it is peppy. Guru Randhawa gives another hit song to Bollywood after Suit Suit . His singing in the song get a little bit annoying (just a little) with the auto tone. If you can ignore that, you are good to go. The original song has just guitar strums but this version has light beats and finger snaps. This song grew on me as I listened to it more. Not THIS version t

Legendary Rajinikanth is back once again as Chitti the robot. The prequel was a blockbuster success and similar response is expected from across the country post the success of  Baahubali . Though I was not a big fan of the music of the prequel, I am banking on A. R. Rahman to create magic with this one. So without further ado, let us get right into it! Movie Release Date: 27th October 2017 Listen to the album on: Saavn (Hindi)  / Saavn (Tamil)  /  Saavn (Telugu) YouTube (Hindi)  /  YouTube (Tamil)  /  YouTube (Telugu) Mechanical Sundariye / Endhira Logathu Sundariye / Yanthara Lokapu Sundarive Singers ( Hindi ): Armaan Malik, Shashaa Tirupati Lyrics ( Hindi ): Abbas Tyrewala Singers ( Tamil ): Sid Sriram, Shashaa Tirupati Lyrics ( Tamil ): Madhan Karky Singers ( Telugu ): Sid Sriram, Shashaa Tirupati Lyrics ( Telugu ): Ananth Sriram Machines are literally taking over our world. They are supposedly capable of romancing now. This song is engineer's wet dream as well

So today we are going to review the music album of Golmaal.. Again? 😕 This is the fourth iteration in the mindless comedy franchisee by Rohit Shetty. The only song I recall from the previous movies is the tune for the title track (not even the song). With that kind of impact, I have very less expectations from this album. So let's get right into it! Movie Release Date: 6th October 2017 Listen to the album on: Saavn Gaana Wynk YouTube Golmaal Title Track Music Composer: Thaman. S  Singers: Amaal Mallik, Aditi Singh Sharma Lyrics: Kumaar I am surprised Thaman S., who mainly composes music in Telugu and Tamil, is the composer for this song. The one opportunity he gets is to composed a recycled tune. The entire song has  dhol  and  tasha  beats. The lyrics are mindless like the title tracks from the prequels. The song is much more bearable if you watch the  video  with all the vibrant colors and car stunts. Maine Tujhko Dekha Music Composer: Amaal Mallik Singers: 

While I was scooping for missed music albums for this quarter, I realized that I have missed a lot of albums which otherwise I would have loved to review them individually. But the time that is lost is gone. Looking ahead we have 12 albums that I will be catching up reviews on in this post. A lot of you readers might not be aware about some of these movies, hence I have provided IMDb links to plot summary. So without further ado, let's get right into it! (Songs highlighted in  RED  are my picks from the each album. You can just listen to these and get the feel of entire album in case you are short on time or feel like you have better things to do in life than listen to music) (Click on the movie name to listen to the songs on Saavn) Lipstick Under My Burkha Music: Zebunnisa Bangash Plot Summary:  IMDb Jigi Jigi is a qawwali that talks about the desires of women. It has a unique blend of Arabic-style of music and brass band. The song is sung by the composer herself
