Music Review | Tiger Zinda Hai | Vishal-Shekhar, Julius Packiam

By -

Neither does bhai need an introduction nor does music albums of his movies. So without any introduction let's get started already!

Music Release Date: 12h December 2017
Listen to the album on:
Saavn
Gaana
Wynk
YouTube

Swag Se Swagat
Singers: Vishal Dadlani, Neha Bhasin
Lyrics: Irshad Kamil
With such bass heavy beats and powerful voices by Vishal Dadlani and Neha Bhasin, the lyrics of this song are surprisingly humble for Salman Khan standards. This song is an earworm, partly because it has been playing everywhere and partly because of looping beats. This is one of those F-the-lyrics-and-dance-to-beats song.

Dil Diyan Gallan
Singers: Atif Aslam
Lyrics: Irshad Kamil
Some songs are worth melting for. This is one of those rare gems in a Salman Khan movie when music, singing and lyrics blend in beautifully. This is THE Atif Aslam from Coke Studio that Bollywood is yet to explore - a combination of sufi, qawwali and romance.

Zinda Hai
Singers: Sukhwinder Singh, Raftaar
Lyrics: Irshad Kamil
*smh* The first two songs had set a good bar. This song, being the title track, might have ruined the entire album for me. Either you have Sukhwinder Singh or you have Raftaar in a song. You can't have best of both the worlds.

Daata Tu
Singers: Shreya Ghoshal
Lyrics: Irshad Kamil
I loved the simplicity with which this song started off. It is a simple prayer song. However, as the song progressed, the background choir increased the tempo. I was mildly dissatisfied with the execution.

Tera Noor
Singers: Jyoti Nooran 
Lyrics: Irshad Kamil
For the first time ever, Nooran sisters got separated in a song. This song features only Jyoti Nooran. It is still as powerful. With a powerful voice comes the great responsibility of matching up with a powerful music and what better than rock music. To be honest, either of the Nooran sisters could pull off an entire song without music.

Dil Diyan Gallan (Unplugged)
Singers: Neha Bhasin
Lyrics: Irshad Kamil
The fluidity in variations that Atif Aslam brings in soft songs, probably Neha Bhasin cannot match it. She can either go all out with Dhunki (Mere Brother Ki Dulhan) or go all mellow with Jag Ghoomeya (Sultan). If I did not have Atif Aslam's version to compare to, this would still have been one of my favourites from the album.

Now that I have reviewed all the songs, time for the actual review of the album. This music album mimics the music album of Sultan. The lead actor, the director and the music director duo are the same for both the movies. Let me break down the similarities:

  • One viral song sung by Vishal Dadlani with a combination of Hindi and English words in the title
  • A title track without a chorus
  • A romantic song with a Punjabi title and sung by a Pakistani singer
  • An unplugged female version of the romantic song sung by Neha Bhasin
  • A song by Nooran sisters
Music albums of Salman Khan movies are formulaic. If it worked the previous time, it WILL work this time as well. So here are the songs that worked for me in this album:
Swag Se Swagat
Dil Diyan Gallan
Tera Noor


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 | 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 | 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 | 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
