Music Review | Badrinath Ki Dulhania | Amaal Mallik, Akhil Sachdeva, Tanishk Bagchi

By -
This has to be addressed first before I begin the review. If you pick up an old song and use it in a movie, be upfront about it and call it a remake/remix instead of calling it a tribute and dignifying it because essentially you are cashing in the success of an already popular song ,thus reducing your efforts in composing a new song to complete the music album for the movie. Moreover, just stop using old songs in the movies. Imagine 20 years down the line, how will we explain popular songs of today to our kids when they dig deep and find out that our era had recycled songs from the previous generations.

Okay. Done with the rant.

Now let's move on the actual music review of the sequel to Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania Badrinath Ki Dulhania. This album is surprisingly small with just five songs, two of those being recycled ones.

Album Release Date: 14th February 2017

Aashiq Surrender Hua
Music Composer: Amaal Mallik
Singers: Amaal Mallik, Shreya Ghoshal
Lyrics: Shabbir Ahmed
The is a Mika song. From the first second itself, it screamed Mika all over the place. Unfortunately, all hopes got crushed when Mika Singh didn't show up during the entire duration of the song. I am left with a void space in my heart from this kind of dishonesty. You've been warned now, there is no Mika in the song. Skip it to save yourself!

Roke Na Ruke Naina
Music Composer: Amaal Mallik
Singers: Arijit Singh
Lyrics: Kumaar
After listening to this soulful song I am hoping for YouTube artists to create acoustic covers of this song. Is this a bad thing? I don't know. Maybe it is. This means that this song is missing something that I think some of the artists can achieve. As the title suggests, this is a sad song. The use of guitar strums in the chorus creates a lively feel which contradicts with the lyrics of the song. One of those Arijit Singh songs that will not end up in my repeat list.

Humsafar
Music Composer: Akhil Sachdeva
Singers: Akhil Sachdeva, Mansheel Gujral
Lyrics: Akhil Sachdeva
This song feels complete despite missing something. Most comments I've read online say that this song should've been sung by Atif Aslam instead. Akhil Sachdeva's voice does sound a bit like Atif I will not deny it. This song is composed, sung and written by the man himself. I'll give him a credit for that. I wish Mansheel Gujral had more lines to sing. I felt she was underutilised.

Badri Ki Dulhania (Title Track)
Music Composer: Tanishk Bagchi
Singers: Dev Negi, Neha Kakkar, Monali Thakur, IKKA
Lyrics: Shabbir Ahmed
I am confused, is this a Holi song or a sangeet song? It starts off with Holi ends with dulhaniya. This song has a very popular catchphrase from the vintage song "Chalat Musafir Moh Liya Re Pinjare Wali Muniya". Remove that phrase from the chorus and this is just an ordinary song. The only exciting part in the song is the build up for the chorus. It charged me up to get up and dance.

Tamma Tamma Again
Music Composer: Tanishk Bagchi, Bappi Lahiri
Singers: Bappi Lahiri, Anuradha Paudwal, Badshah
Lyrics: Indeevar, Badshah
First Humma Humma, now Tamma Tamma. I hope HE doesn't ruin a remake/tribute to Jumma Chumma if there's going to be one.Who's HE? Badshah. I enjoyed this song just as much as the original one or The Humma Song until Badshah spoilt it. The thing I really liked about the rest of the song was that Tanishk Bagchi chose to retain the original song as is along with the original singer Bappida and Anuradha Paudwal.

This album hopes to capitalize on the hype until the release of the movie. Don't expect this album to go long way. Nonetheless, here are my few favourites of the album:
Humsafar
Tamma Tamma Again

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

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.

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 | 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 | Raman Raghav 2.0 | Ram Sampath

By -
Warning! This album is dark, sick, creepy, disgusting and not at all recommended for faint hearted. Such kind of music is not everybody's cup of tea.  Anurag Kashyap movies have always had great music - be it Dev D or Gangs of Wasseypur. Both the movies had close to dozen songs and each one different from the other one. More than the music, what I was looking forward to in this album was Varun Grover's lyrics. Alright, without further ado, let's get into it and see if you are brave enough to handle it. Listen on Saavn Listen to Raman-Raghav-2.0-2016 on Saavn (Click on the song title to play it in YouTube) Qatl-E-Aam Lyrics: Varun Grover Singers: Sona Mohapatra, Yash Divecha BOOM!! That's the explosion in my head after listening to the song. It's a dubstep track and is trippy as fuck. Even though all the music is electronic, Sona Mohapatra's voice manages to keep it real and desi. The taal before the last verse by Yash Divecha *applause* Behood
