Music Review | Jagga Jasoos | Pritam

By -

I watched the movie last week and was totally taken by surprise. *spoiler alert* The entire movie is musical i.e. apart from the regular songs, a lot of dialogues are poetic as well. This has increased my excitement to review this album. However, looking at the number of songs in the album, I am certain that those musical conversations are not part of this one and probably will be released later. So without further ado, let's get started.

Album Release Date: 20th July 2017

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

Ullu Ka Pattha
Singers: Arijit Singh, Nikhita Gandhi
Lyrics: Amitabh Bhattacharya
The catchphrase " Ullu le, Ullu le" is still stuck in my head even a week after watching the movie. The song has just one stanza and left me wanting for more of this chirpiness. The flamenco guitar in the beginning gives a feel of wanderlust. The song talks about how stupid and day dreamer our heart is. The song ends with a fade on Arijit Singh's aalap.

Galti Se Mistake
Singers: Arijit Singh, Amit Mishra
Lyrics: Amitabh Bhattacharya
Try resisting not dancing to this song. This is one of those absurd lyrics catchy songs. The song suggests that this is the age to do silly mistakes in life. These moments will not come back. Totally in love with this song and playing it on repeat. Surprisingly, Arijit Singh has sung only one line in the song – i.e. “Yehi Umar Hai Karle”. The rest of the song is sung by Amit Mishra.

Jhumritalaiyya
Singers: Arijit Singh, Mohan Kanan
Lyrics: Amitabh Bhattacharya
This song is one of those Arijit-Pritam template but it is cute nonetheless. Amitabh Bhattacharya really squeezes out beautiful phrases to the ghisa-pita concept of how different two characters are. The entire song apart from the chorus is conversational.

Phir Wahi
Singers: Arijit Singh
Lyrics: Amitabh Bhattacharya
Arijit says phir wahi and then continues to sing phir wahi phir wahi throughout the song. Everytime this phrase came, I just asked myself in my head, "phir wahi?" 

Musafir
Singers: Tushar Joshi
Lyrics: Amitabh Bhattacharya
This song has a Kabira (YJHD) vibe (with the nirmohi word as well). I am not sure if Tushar's voice sounds like Arijit or it's just my ears hallucinating. I would have loved to listen to a choir backing Tushar's singing in the song. The song felt like riding too much on the solo voice.

Khaana Khaake
Singers: Pritam Chakraborty, Amitabh Bhattacharya, Tushar
Lyrics: Amitabh Bhattacharya
Yessss. This is one of the musical conversations from the movie. Not one of the best ones, but good to see they have released it.

Being a musical movie, the album does full justice to the story and characters of the movie. It was rumoured that the movie has 29 songs. Most of them being the musical conversations from the movie. I was expecting the entire album to released two-four weeks after the release the movie so as to avoid spoilers from the movie. They released one of them - Khaana Khaake. I will be eagerly waiting for the rest of the tracks, especially the Tukka Laga conversation between Rabir and Saurabh Shukla. Until then, here are my favourites from the album:
Ullu Ka Pattha
Galti Se Mistake
Jhumritalaiyya

 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 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 | 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

Music Mention | Wrong Side Raju (Gujarati) | Sachin-Jigar

By -
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 | 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

By -
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
