Music Review | Padman | Amit Trivedi

By -

Akshay Kumar brings in good stories, Amit Trivedi brings in good music. When both of them come together, it is only fair to expect an album with great meaningful lyrics that supplements the movie. So let us get started!

Music Release Date: 26th December 2017
Listen to the album on:
Saavn
Gaana
YouTube

Aaj Se Teri
Singers: Arijit Singh
Lyricist: Kausar Munir
This song is about a sanskari joru ka ghulam. It is about a coy man confessing his love. The dholak throughout the song, gave an essence of something real and not orchestrated. Arijit Singh's voice is not too overpowering to hijack the song and blends in well with the music.

The Pad Man Song
Singers: Mika Singh
Lyricist: Kausar Munir
He is not the superhero we want, but he is the superhero we need. A real life superhero minus the melodrama and antics of reel life superhero. I like the fact that the lyrics remain realistic and didn't go overboard talking about his qualities. This song has one of my pet peeves - title of the song being the only phrase in the chorus and repeated.

Hu Ba Hu
Singers: Amit Trivedi
Lyricist: Kausar Munir
This is Amit Trivedi's template feel good song sung by himself. It closely follows the formula of Shaam Shaandaar (Shaandaar) and Badra Bahaar (Queen). If you enjoy Amit Trivedi's voice, give this song a listen.

Saale Sapne
Singers: Mohit Chauhan
Lyricist: Kausar Munir
Mohit Chauhan mesmerizes with this soft rock song but *sigh*. Trust me, I do not want to make comparisons but this song follows the formula of Taake Jhanke (Queen).

Sayaani
Singers: Yashita Sharma, Jonita Gandhi, Yashika Sikka, Rani Kaur
Lyricist: Kausar Munir
This song is a sanskari explanation of how a girl transforms into a woman. The 'saayani' in the title and the chorus implies getting laid. This song goes from being shy to full-on tease mode. The four singers blended in so well that it got difficult to distinguish who's singing which part.

This album was right on track with the theme of the movie in the first two songs until Amit Trivedi took over with his album templates. Don't get me wrong, they are great songs and may have an important part in the movie. But on their own, they don't add much value to the theme of the movie. Fortunately, the album finishes off on a high. So here are my favourites from the album:
Aaj Se Teri
Sayaani

 That is all I have for this album now. I hope you found it useful. If you did then stay connected with us on our social media pages. 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 | 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

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
