Music Review | Baahubali 2 - The Conclusion | M. M. Keeravani

By -

For last year and half we all have been waiting to know why Katappa killed Baahubali. We'll get our answers this month when the second part of this epic franchise releases. Not just the movie, I enjoyed the music too. Dhivara was my favourite song from the first part. When the story is compelling, music automatically blends in it. That's what I am looking for in this album - a story to explore. This time around we have a hindi album too along with it's original telugu counterpart. Since, I don't know telugu I have interpreted the lyrics for the hindi album. That being said, I've listened to this album in both the languages.

Album Release Date: 5th April 2017

Jiyo Re Bahubali/Sahore Baahubali
Singers (H): Daler Mehndi, Sanjeev Chimmalgi, Ramya Behara
Lyrics (H): Manoj Muntashir
Singers (T): Daler Mehndi, M.M. Keeravaani, Mounima
Lyrics (T): K. Shivashakthi Datta,Dr. K. Ramakrishna
As soon as Daler Mehndi started the song, I got super excited to see who had sung it for the Telugu version. It was Daler Mehndi himself. However, it turned out to be a disappointment. He is not the lead singer of the song. The entire song is sung by the other singers. Being the title song of the movie based on a powerful character, I expected Daler Mehndi's powerful voice to be in the forefront. The solo portions by the singers are surprisingly mellow with violins playing in the background. The only energetic parts are the chorus and Daler Mehndi's.

Veeron Ke Veer Aa/Hamsa Naava
Singers (H): Aditi Paul, Deepu
Lyrics (H): Manoj Muntashir
Singers (T): Sony, Deepu
Lyrics (T): Chaithanya Prasad
The song title says it is about veer and I expect it to be a battle song where army is marching towards the enemy.
*bummer* The song is about the princess seductively calling out to her prince. The lyrics goes like this - "Oh ore raja, Veeron ke veer aa, Naino se tuna, Door hona. Main to hoon teri, Phir kaisi deri, Leja jahan tera thikana." Although it is a romantic song, this song has strong heavy beats to it which satisfies my initial expectation.

Soja Zara/Kanaa Nidurinchara
Singers (H): Madhushree
Lyrics (H): Manoj Muntashir
Singers (T): Sreenidhi, V. Srisoumya
Lyrics (T): M.M. Keeravaani
This song is about a mom asking his son i.e. Lord Krishna in this case (or at least the lyrics talk about that) to go to bed. This is such a mom-thing to do. :P This is a really sweet classical song with lots of flute in the music arrangements. The sargam by the background choir is harmonic. I am putting this on my repeat list, for days when I miss my mom.

Jay-Jaykara/Dandaalayyaa
Singers (H): Kailash Kher
Lyrics (H): Manoj Muntashir
Singers (T): Kaala Bhairava
Lyrics (T): M.M. Keeravaani
The song starts off with minimal music and I felt that if people are calling out for help to their king the music has to be larger than life to depict his power. This transition happened halfway through the song. Towards the end of the song I felt marching with confidence with towards solving a problem with hopes of a lot of people riding on me. While the hindi version has just Kailash Kher and harmonics of Khailesh Kher in chorus, the Telugu version has a choir doing that job.

Shivam/Oka Praanam
Singers (H): Kaala Bhairava
Lyrics (H): Manoj Muntashir
Singers (T): Kaala Bhairava
Lyrics (T): M.M. Keeravaani
This is the magnamous song that will conclude this epic story. I am guessing this song will feature either towards the end of the final fight or when Shivudu returns back to his kingdom wounded after winning the final fight. This song has overpowering music and that's what I'd suggest you listen to this song for, instead of lyrics.

The first part of the franchise had eight songs and the album received a bit of criticism for having too many and distracting songs that broke the flow of the movie. So this time around we have just five songs. All these five songs are impactful and seem to take the story forward. This time we also have a hindi album along with it's telugu counterpart. The hindi lyrics for the first to songs sounded amateurish and forced upon. Barring that, the rest of the songs were amazing in hindi as well. My favourites from this album are:
Soja Zara/Kanaa Nidurinchara
Jay-Jaykara/Dandaalayyaa
That is all I have for this album now. I hope you found this review useful. If you did then feel free to share it. Let me know you favourite song of the album in the comments below. Until then, Ciao...!!

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.

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

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

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 | Befikre | Vishal-Shekhar

I feel like an idiot every time ranting about how a lot a movies these days are releasing their music album just few days prior to it's release. Nonetheless, just as other such music albums I am expecting it to have a few chartbusters and a soulful number. But that doesn't mean I shouldn't be reviewing it. So, without further ado, let's get into it. (Click on the song title to play it on Saavn) Nashe Si Chadh Gayi Singer: Arijit Singh Lyrics: Jaideep Sahni This song is as trippy as the name suggests. The lyrics are free spirited as a kite like mentioned in the song. In some portions of the song, Arijit's voice sounds like Adnan Sami. The fast paced lyrics before the chorus doesn't make any sense (as if the entire movie is going to make any). Despite the flaws, the song did not burn my ears and is a nice groove to dance on.
