So here is my review for the music album of the season two of India's most loved web series - Permanent Roommates. TVF has released the soundtrack for TVF Pitchers, TVF Humorously Yours. Check out my review for TVFHY:  here  and TVF Pitchers:  here  if you haven't already. Next in line for the review is TVF Trpiling. Coming soon! Like I said it before and I repeat it again,  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/1/3/68/887 Pick Me Up / PR Theme (Instrumental) Runtime: 1 minute 05 seconds The only thing missing in this song is the sound of unlocking of the car at the very end of the song. I am used to listening to that i...

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...

This has to be addressed first before I begin the review. If you pick up an old song and use it in a movie, be upfront about it and call it a remake/remix instead of calling it a tribute and dignifying it because essentially you are cashing in the success of an already popular song ,thus reducing your efforts in composing a new song to complete the music album for the movie. Moreover, just stop using old songs in the movies. Imagine 20 years down the line, how will we explain popular songs of today to our kids when they dig deep and find out that our era had recycled songs from the previous generations. Okay. Done with the rant. Now let's move on the actual music review of the sequel to Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania Badrinath Ki Dulhania. This album is surprisingly small with just five songs, two of those being recycled ones.

Do you remember the prequel of this movie? What do you remember from the first part? All I remember is Vidyut Jamwal squeezing himself from a window of a car in an action scene. Does that make me skeptical about the music album of this sequel movie? I don't know, we'll know at the end of this review. Album Release Date: 13th February 2017 (Click on the song title to listen to it on Saavn) Hare Krishna Hare Ram Music Composer: Gourov-Roshin Singers: Armaan Malik, Ritika, Raftaar Lyrics: Kumaar See, Raftaar blends rap with the song so seamlessly unlike Badshah. Yeah, I know this is a recycled song but truth be told, it is catchy. What's the catchy part you may ask. "Hare Ram Hare Ram Hare Krishna Hare Ram". The recycled part is the only catchy part. In case you are still wondering, this is a recycled version of  Bhool Bhulaiya Title Track .
