Music Review | Teraa Surroor | Himesh Reshammiya

By -
Until 2013, Himesh had been singing all the songs in the films where he played the lead role. Which by the number of albums is very few, but the number of songs that he would accommodate in these albums was huge (Yes, pointing towards Aap Kaa Surroor, Karzzzz and Radio with 9 songs each). With Xpose, he let go off a few songs to Mohammad Irfan Ali and Ankit Tiwari but maintained his trademark with number of songs in that album (18 to be precise including a Mashup). Fast forward to 2016, Himesh Reshammiya is back with what sounds like a sequel to Aap Ka Surroor but doesn't look so. In fact, if you take it in literal sense Himesh refused to give any respect to her surroor this time - from Aap Ka to Teraa . The number of songs too have surprisingly reduced to 7. Listen to Teraa-Surroor-2016 on Saavn Before starting let me make a confession - Father I have sinned, I am a Himesh Reshammiya fan. My review below though, will be unbiased by this fact and will be biased toward...

Music Review | Fukrey Returns | Jasleen Royal, Sharib-Toshi and others

By -
[1] Fukrey was a sleeper hit that was a treasure chest of music. I still listen to the title track, Ambarsariya and Jugaad from the prequel. Does that raise the expectation for the sequel album? Not really, because I usually do not have very high expectations from comedy movies. Also, Fukrey was composed by a single music composer (Ram Sampath) unlike its sequel which has a different composer for each song. So let us get started! Movie Release Date: 24h November 2017 Listen to the album on: Saavn Gaana Wynk YouTube Mehbooba Music Composer: Prem & Hardeep, Laxmikant-Pyarelal Singers: Neha Kakkar, Yasser Desai, Raftaar, Mohammed Rafi Lyrics: Kumaar, Anand Bakshi Neha Kakkar killed it with her seductive voice. This song features stop-and-go beats, which if you don't know, made Zara Zara Touch Me (Race)  the sexy song it was. So if you are wondering, as a guy, why this song gives you tingling feeling, now you know. Contrary to the popular n...

Music Review | Wajah Tum Ho | Mithoon, Abhijit Vaghani, Meet Bros, Gourov-Roshin

By -
When few of my readers requested me to review this album, I had no idea about the movie, music or the cast. A quick look at the trailer and the picture got clear as to why this album is popular among some folks. With a shoestring budget, I am willing to take the risk of assuming that there will be nothing spectacular in this album. However, I will get into this album with an unbiased mind as always. So without further ado, let's get into it! Listen on Saavn: Listen to Wajah-Tum-Ho-2016 on Saavn (Click on the song title to play it in YouTube) Wajah Tum Ho Music Composer: Mithoon Singer: Mithoon Featuring Altamash Faridi & Tulsi Kumar  Lyrics: Manoj Muntashir  The song starts off with really soft singing by Altamash and Tulsi with piano chords in the background. However, I felt that with such a slow and soothing song, male voice requires to be deep and forthcoming. Altamash Faridi's voice didn't manage to carry that weight. The lyrics are stereotypicall...

[FULL ALBUM] Music Review | Raees | Ram Sampath, JAM8

By -
The hype is real for this movie. Does it matter to me? No. What matters to me is whether Ram Sampath and JAM8 managed to overpower that hype with their music. We'll find that out at the end of this post. Album Release Date: 23rd January 2017 (Click on the song title to play it on Saavn) Laila Main Laila Music Composer: Ram Sampath Singer: Pawni Pandey Lyrics: Indeevar What romantic movies does to women, porn does to men. This song brings together both of these - king of romance and (ex)-queen of porn (no disrespect but it seems that was the intention here). Does the song fail to impress in terms of music (obviously it has already impressed in other terms)? The catchphrase tune and the choir parts are really addictive. This song doesn't give Pawni Pandey (Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Lil Champs finalist) a chance to showcase her singing prowess with overpowering music but it does open up a lot of opportunities for her. Check out the lyrics of this song here:  http://...

Music Review | TVF Pitchers (Web Series) | Vaibhav Bundhoo

By -
As promised TVF released the soundtrack of TVF Pitchers, TVF Permanent Roommates S2 and TVF Tripling. This will be my review for TVF Pitchers. I'll be reviewing the other two in the next few days. So keep an eye on this blog for that. If you have missed out my review of the music album of TVF Humorously Yours, you can check out here.  Like I said for that review too,  I recommend  (but not a compulsion)  watching the web series first to get the context of the music as well as this review . Moreover, I highly doubt if you are reading this then you've not already watched it. So without further ado, let's get right into it! Album Release Date: 21st February 2017 Original Soundtrack Available here:  http://tvfplay.com/episode/1/1/18/886 The Relevant Sound (Pitchers Theme) - Instrumental Runtime: 54 seconds This theme song is so iconic that TVF actually uses it in the intro of all of it's videos on YouTube. Even as I recall it, two things come to my mind. F...
