Golmaal 3 – a major disappointment
Golmaal, Golmaal Returns and now Golmaal 3 – I wonder what is up with Bollywood’s obsession with sequels? But I am not complaining as long as it’s something worth watching and listening to. And considering how Shree Ashtavinayak Cinevision has a repute of bringing out movies to remember, one can keep high hopes from Golmaal ...
Album Review – Tees Maar Khan: A musical bag of mixed nuts
For all those who loved Main Hoon Na and Om Shanti Om, it is time to rejoice! Farah Khan is back with her world of cinema, which gives a new definition to a huge star cast, extravagant sets and costumes, larger than life fictional characters, extremely filmy stories and upbeat soundtracks. Farah’s latest offering, Tees ...
Album Review – Avraga by Kazak
Who is Kazak, the band? Their debut album was released by Fire Records as part of a two-record deal a few months back, but coming across their album Avraga was still a surprise. During times when publicity either makes or breaks music acts, it is simply surprising to note that Kazak didn’t register on any ...
Album Review – Sara Jahaan by Karavan
One of the very few remaining rock bands, and there aren’t many that can give themselves that title, is Karavan. Often compared to Junoon, despite certain disparities such as Karavan having a better guitarist but a weaker vocalist, there are some similarities to the now defunct band. Certain solos and rhythms, from their previous record ...
Album Review – Kya Yehi Piyar Hai by Annie Khalid
In the wake of listening to Annie Khalid’s new album, Kya Yehi Piyar Hai (KYPH), all one is left with is a toothache. And can you imagine what something that causes a toothache is like? Quite terrible. The other thing one is left with is a desperate scrambling for one’s brain cells. Whatever remains of ...
Album Review – Kyun Dooriyan by Shafqat Amanat Ali Khan
There is always this tiny voice at the back of my head when talking about someone else’s art, telling me to be very, very delicate with it. The end consumer of any kind creative product can like or dislike it according to personal taste but can never imagine what the artist went through while evolving ...
Pichal Pairee by Overload – Album Review
With their second album, Overload have moved further into the world of hypnotic percussion and frenzied riffs with a distinct female vocalist in tow. As for the dhols… they are still very much a part of Overload’s punch. The trip factor that one associated with Overload hasn’t disappeared with Pichal Pairee. The name of the ...
Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani (2009) – Soundtrack Review
The Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani soundtrack is a crowd-pleaser: it’s got something for everyone. Are you a Hard Kaur fan? She has two songs on the album. Prefer Atif Aslam instead? He lends his voice to two songs, including a love ballad of the sing-along variety. Would rather giggle and dance ala Govinda? There ...
Album Review – Shiraz Uppal’s Ankahi
Amongst the many releases this year that include Hadiqa Kiyani’s Aasmaan, Amanat Ali Khan’s Kohram, Rahim Shah’s Mamma Dey, Laal’s Umeed-e-Sahar and Overload’s Pichal Pairee (to name a few), one artist whose return is surely welcome is Shiraz Uppal. It’s not because of his arresting videos (although ‘Jhuki Jhuki’ was magnificent) or the over-styled glamour ...
Album Review – Wajood Hai Mera
Tough times come and go. Calamities of all kinds hit Pakistan and satiate their desires. Economy often stagnates and so does prosperity. However, one aspect in which the country continues to work is on the music front. It can also be attributed to the media boom due to which grabbing audiences’ attention is not such ...
