Music Review | Tumhari Sulu | Guru Randhawa, Tanishk Bagchi and others

By -

Good Morninggggggg Mumbai! The movie might be different but the use case is similar. Vidya Balan returns portraying another character of radio jockey. This time she's plain jane housewife with a chirpy personality and sexy voice. The reason I am talking about her is because my guess is that this entire album will be driven by her character. So let's get started with it!

Movie Release Date: 4th November 2017
Listen to the album on:
Saavn
Gaana
Wynk
YouTube

Ban Ja Rani
Music Composer: Guru Randhawa, Rajat Nagpal
Singers: Guru Randhawa
Lyrics: Guru Randhawa
This is a soft and mellow song but at the same it is peppy. Guru Randhawa gives another hit song to Bollywood after Suit Suit. His singing in the song get a little bit annoying (just a little) with the auto tone. If you can ignore that, you are good to go. The original song has just guitar strums but this version has light beats and finger snaps. This song grew on me as I listened to it more. Not THIS version though, the original one.

Hawa Hawai 2.0
Music Composer: Tanishk Bagchi, Laxmikant-Pyarelal
Singers: Kavita Krishnamurthy, Shashaa Tirupati
Lyrics: Javed Akhtar
This is basically the remix version of the Hawa Hawai (Mr. India) with rap by Shashaa Tirupati. Too much of electronic beats ruined it for me. I like it when an old song is remade with a twist. There is no originality with this remix version. I would rather prefer to listen to Hawa Hawai (Shaitan) than this one.

Manva Likes To Fly
Music Composer: Tanishk Bagchi
Singers: Shalmali Kholgade
Lyrics: Vayu
A quirky song with Hinglish lyrics and dubstep beats. Shalmali's voice and the lyrics are very catchy and groovy. I felt the English phrases were force fed into lyrics. The song lasted shorter than I wanted to.

Farrata
Music Composer: Amartya Rahut "Bobo"
Singers: Armaan Malik, Adityan, Dev Arijit, Tushar Joshi
Lyrics: Siddhant Kaushal
The song came in like a storm and ended like a wildfire just like it's namesake. Armaan's voice sounds very mature around other child singers. The music composer Amartya Rahut has composed popular TV channel tunes in the past and has also been the composer for the movie Aurangzeb as well.

Rafu
Music Composer: Santanu Ghatak
Singers: Ronkini Gupta
Lyrics: Santanu Ghatak
The singer Ronkini Gupta is the vocalist of the music band Kheyaal-e-Jazz Projekt that is popular for blending Hindustani Classical forms and Popular Jazz songs. This song talks about how life is complete when we help each other and solve our problems together. The title rafu (darn) is a perfect metaphor for it. This is my favourite song of the album. Laze on your hammock and melt in this soothing song.

Having multiple music composers, this album does not drive the context of the movie as a whole, but each of the individual songs are unique and conveys a specific message. After an overflow of mainstream music, this album provides a fresh breath. Here are my favourites from the album:
Ban Ja Rani
Rafu

 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

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 | 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 | A Flying Jatt | Sachin-Jigar

By -
I am not so much interested in the movie. The only reason I chose to listen to this album was Sachin-Jigar. I've been a big fan of their music. Do I have high expectations from this album? Well, it's conflicting - Tiger Shroff movie makes me question my expectation but I also know that Sachin-Jigar will not compromise.  So, without further ado, let's get into it and see if this album can set it's songs flying like the Jatt himself or falls flat on the ground Listen on Saavn: Listen to A-Flying-Jatt-2016 on Saavn (Click on the song title to play it in YouTube) A Flying Jatt - Title Track Lyrics : Vayu & Raftaar Singers : Raftaar, Mansheel Gujral, Tanishkaa  I like this song. Period. Now let's get into one thing that bothered me. I understand this song is dedicated to the kids (even though lyrics have alcohol references), but a 8-year old girl (Tanishkaa) singing the following lines is just wrong - "Flying jatt mera BFF hai,  Aur iklot

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
