Music Review | Munna Michael | Tanishk Bagchi, Gourov-Roshin, Meet Bros and others

By -

Tiger Shroff returns to show off his dancing skills, yet again. So that is the only expectation from this album - good catchy dance numbers. Without wasting much time, let us get started!

Album Release Date: 21st June 2017

(Click on the song title to listen to it on Saavn)

Main Hoon
Music Composer: Tanishk Bagchi
Singers: Siddharth Mahadevan
Lyrics: Kumaar
This is such a narcissistic song. This song has an electronic music. I was listening to this song passively and all I can remember is the self-appreciating chorus. These two pointers made me go and watch the video and thus I can safely infer that this is a dance number and not a listen-to song.

Ding Dang
Music Composer: Javed - Mohsin
Singers: Amit Mishra, Antara Mitra
Lyrics: Danish Sabri, Sabbir Khan
Hahahahaha. I am laughing so hard at the chorus right now. This is one of those songs with weird lyrics. If you enjoyed the lyrics of Breakup Song (Ae Dil Hai Mushkil) then you will enjoy this one too. The intro music made my shoulders bouncing with the beat.

Pyar Ho
Music Composer: Vishal Mishra
Singers: Vishal Mishra, Sunidhi Chauhan
Lyrics: Kumaar
This song is all over the place without a specific flow. Maybe skip it.

Swag
Music Composer: Pranaay 
Singers: Pranaay ft. Brijesh Shandaliya
Lyrics: Kumaar
Mika? Is that you? Nope. False alarm. The song talks about showing your swag through your dance. "I’m feelin’ oh oh oh, Na rok tu ab khudko, I’m feelin’ oh oh oh, C’mon baby let’s do it" is an innuendo for dance (if you could not figure it out). This song also has the catchphrase bada bing, bada boom.
Beparwah
Music Composer: Gourov- Roshin
Singers: Siddharth Basrur, Nandini Deb
Lyrics: Kumaar
The last time we heard Siddharth Basrur was in Parwah Nahi. And this song is called? While that song was an amazing rock song, this one is meh!

Shake Karaan
Music Composer: Meet Bros
Singers: Meet Bros Ft. Kanika Kapoor
Lyrics: Kumaar
After giving chartbusters like Baby Doll and Chittiyaan Kalaiyaan, Meet Bros and Kanika Kapoor are back again with another replica. Listen closely to the background beats. It same as the previous songs. But it's catchy and I enjoy Kanika's unique voice so I am going to listen this on loop.

Feel The Rhythm
Music Composer: Pranaay 
Singers: Pranaay ft. Rahul Pandey
Lyrics: Pranaay, Sabbir Khan
This song is Thriller meets Bang Bang but has diminishing returns in the end. This song is a hindi tribute to all the keywords associated with the legendary Michael Jackson.

Beat It Bijuriya
Music Composer: Tanishk – Vayu
Singers: Asses Kaur, Renesa Baadchi
Lyrics: Tanishk – Vayu 
The song title is Beat It meets Beat Pe Booty. I really like the Hinglish lyrics. Not that they have some deep meaning, but they are funky. It almost reminded me of GoW music.

Pyar Ho (Redux)
Music Composer: Vishal Mishra
Singers: Sunidhi Chauhan
Lyrics: Kumaar
This version is just a tad bit better than the original. Otherwise it is similar to such template songs.

Swag Rebirth
Music Composer: Pranaay 
Singers: Pranaay
Lyrics: Kumaar, Sabbir Khan
This version is the first verse of the original song minus the rap. This song will probably be used as a character music for Nawazuddin.

Lyrics are weak point of this album. Not that I was expecting earth shattering metaphors. This is a classic example of one of my posts Do too many cooks actually spoil the broth OR the more the merrier? especially for what Tiger Shroff is known for. There are only a few shiners in the album. So here are my favourites:
Ding Dang
Shake Karaan
Beat It Bijuriya

 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 | 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 | 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 often we get to hear Swaroop Khan.

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
