Album Review – We Are Family (2010)
Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy (SEL) have had a busy 2010; they’ve composed the soundtrack for My Name is Khan, Karthik Calling Karthik R (or Uff Teri Ada, its sole claim to fame), Housefull and most recently, Tere Bin Laden. Unfortunately, We Are Family doesn’t add much to their repertoire. It’s telltale and tired Karan Johar with not a ...
Album Review: Siege’s Police
An unconventional route to take to fame, Siege the band has released their debut album after winning awards for the track titled Armaan. Their hit single was recognized as the Best Song of the Year at the TMAs held in 2008 in Pakistan. However, the four-member band comprising Junaid Younus (lead vocals), Ahsan Parvaiz (lead ...
Tu Jaane Na – Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani (2009)
‘Tu Jaane Na’ Singer: Atif Aslam Album – Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani (2009) Composer: Pritam Chakraborty This song opens with a chorus eerily similar to ‘Khwaja Mere Khwaja’ from the soundtrack of Jodhaa Akbar (by A.R. Rahman). That sing-along, deep throated chorus leads to a tabla infused beat over which Atif sings about love, ...

Rabba – Main Aurr Mrs. Khanna (2009)
‘Rabba’ Singer: Rahat Fateh Ali Khan Album – Main Aurr Mrs Khanna Composers: Sajid-Wajid ‘Rabba’ is one of the more disappointing songs that Rahat Fateh Ali Khan has done for Bollywood. It is sadly, entirely forgettable. Despite the fact that Rahat is reported to have broken down while recording this song, it doesn’t have any ...
Chand (1944) – Kya yehi jaawani hai
Kya yehi jaawani hai from Chaand (1944) shows just how incredibly gifted composer-duo Husnlal-Bhagatram were. One can marvel at the meticulous detail and craftsmanship that went into creating this melody full of mystique, sex-appeal and innocence. Husnlal-Bhagatram had achieved a great deal within the limited resources at their behest. Their marquee was their gifted approach ...
