[UPDATE: FULL ALBUM - 10 SONGS] Music Review | Tubelight | Pritam

By -

Salman bhai comes just once a year (okay that did not sound very right, but you get it). This year he returns back as an innocent guy who is accompanied by a kid and the person he loves (Bajrangi Bhaijaan? rings any bell?). What I am looking forward to is Pritam's music after he backed out from the recently released Raabta. So without further ado, let's get started!

Album Release Date: 22nd June 2017

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

Radio
Singers: Amit Mishra, Kamaal Khan
Lyrics: Amitabh Bhattacharya
The song is about Salman Khan waiting next to radio to listen to the news about his brother who has gone on a war on the border. The situation is meant to be a serious one but the song manages to make is lively and happy. The lyrics are nothing spectacular to talk about since this song is all about Salman and his moves. If you enjoyed Selfie Le Le Re (Bajrangi Bhaijaan) then you will enjoy this.

Naach Meri Jaan
Singers: Nakash Aziz, Tushar Joshi, Kamaal Khan, Dev Negi
Lyrics: Amitabh Bhattacharya
I had to listen to this song quite a few times to figure this out. This song faint similarity to Tukur Tukur (Dilwale). Maybe it is just the Pritam-Nakash-Amitabh trio that is making me feel that. I really liked the chorus "Naach meri jaan hoke magan tu, Chhod ke saare kintu parantu". 

Tinka Tinka Dil Mera
Singers: Rahat Fateh Ali Khan
Lyrics: Kausar Munir
This song made me really sad. Kausar Munir really touched those emotional strings with the lyrics. The eerily sad part is not the chorus but the beginning of verses that have very minimal music. Expect tears rolling down your cheeks when it features during the movie.

Main Agar
Singers: Atif Aslam
Lyrics: Amitabh Bhattacharya
The build up on this song towards the chorus is slow and amazing. I would love to listen to a proper rock version of this song with accentuated instruments.

Tinka Tinka Dil Mera (Film Version)
Singers: Jubin Nautiyal
Lyrics: Amitabh Bhattacharya
This is the exact same song as the previous one. This one is sung by Jubin Nautiyal. I am usually not a big fan of such kind of duplication in a music album. I think the makers were confused which one to use since both of them sound equally amazing but they came to a conclusion that Rahat Fateh Ali Khan's voice draws more audience than Jubin so used that for promotions and Jubin's version in the movie.

To summarize it, pretty dud album from a high expectation movie. Tinka Tinka Dil Mera is the only one I really enjoyed apart from the Atif Aslam's Main Agar.

UPDATE: The music album was released after this post was published and it has a total of 10 songs. Below is the review for rest of the songs

Kuch Nahi 
Singers: Javed Ali
Lyrics: Amitabh Bhattacharya
This is an emotional song. However, the overpowering music did not let the emotions flow. The song starts of really well with just guitar strums. I would have loved if that was continued throughout the song.

Kuch Nahi (Reprised)
Singers: Shafqat Amanat Ali
Lyrics: Amitabh Bhattacharya
Same song different singer. Same logic as Jubin's version of Tinka Tinka Dil Mera.

Kuch Nahi (Encore)
Singers: Papon
Lyrics: Amitabh Bhattacharya
Oh wow! That bass voice of Papon is very distinctive. And that is what separates this version from the other two and this is the better of the other two. Other than that, same song different singer.

Main Agar (Film Version)
Singers: K. K.
Lyrics: Amitabh Bhattacharya
Same song different singer. K. K. totally owned this song. While Atif's version is mellow, this one is a peppy track. I am surprised how different the film version is from the actual song.

Radio (Film Version)
Singers: Amit Mishra, Kamaal Khan
Lyrics: Amitabh Bhattacharya
Spot the difference if you can. I'll give you a hint - look for the only stanza in the song ;)

One additional song and other five are just versions of the original ones. Kuch Nahi (Encore)  by Papon and Main Agar (K. K.) are the only ones worth exploring in an an album of confusing duplicates. Someone should have had deduped this album before releasing. 
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...!!

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
