Beats and Beyond

Vishal Bhardwaj and Gulzar ji together have given some amazing lyrical songs in all of Vishal Bhardwaj's movies. The songs in his movies are not meant for commercial appeal (they often get though). They composed so as to take the story forward. With that thought in mind, let's get into this music album and review it! Album Release Date: 18th January 2017 (Click on the song title to listen to it on Saavn) Bloody Hell Singer: Sunidhi Chauhan Lyrics: Gulzar The English verbiage in the songs from 40s was not that strong as it is right now. That is the reason you can find the lyrics amateurish. Even with broken English, this song is really catchy. The nakhre and adaakat - Sunidhi gives them all. The song describes very risque stuff as per 1940s standards. This song really shines when heard along with the video.

The movie as well as the music album is a remake of Tamil movie 'O Kadhal Kanmani' ( Oh Love, Apple of my Eye ).  To be honest, I did not anticipate this album to be so popular even though A. R. Rahman has composed it (remember Lekar Hum Deewana Dil ). Maybe 'The Humma Song' partly ruined that anticipation. However, all this doesn't matter. When it's A. R.

Album Release Date: 4th January 2017 (Click on the song title to play it on Saavn) Ok Jaanu Title Track Singer: Srinidhi Venkatesh, A.R. Rahman Lyrics: Gulzar 'Ok Jaanu' the name sounds so sweet that you'd expect a Saathiya  type title track. But you are welcomed with a fast paced peppy duet between A. R. Rahman and his sound engineer turned playback singer Srinidhi. The songs talks about - 'Ok Dear, take a chill pill!'. Check out the lyrics of this song here:  http:/...

The trailer looked picturesque. Whenever there are movies with such artistic and colorful cinematography, the music is bound to be unorthodox and refreshing. This album has a total of 15 tracks (9 songs and 6 poems). I will be splitting this review correspondingly. This album also features a lot of non popular singers and I will try to give out references to their previous work wherever possible. So, without further ado, let's explore this album together. Listen on Saavn: Listen to Mirzya---Dare-To-Love-2016 on Saavn (Click on the song title to play it in YouTube) Mirzya Singers: Daler Mehndi, Sain Zahoor, Akhtar Chanal Zahri, Nooran Sisters  Lyrics: Gulzar This is the title song of the album and I couldn't have heard a better song to start this review. First and the foremost thing - the music of this song speaks volumes of the rich culture it is portraying. One can just close their eyes and will be automatically teleported to that era (even though I don'...
