Shaking a leg – Rahat Fateh Ali Khan
You have to feel sorry for with the guy. The exceedingly talented Rahat Fateh Ali Khan must be thinking ‘why the heck did I choose to be a judge on a music reality show’ for the sole reason that every time a film celebrity appears on Chhote Ustad, they’re asked (sometimes pushed) to get on ...

Khursheed Begum – Her Last Interview
The year was 1992 the month was February; I entered a house in Karachi’s posh area. I was led inside by a servant who took me to the living room area of the neatly decorated compact house. A group of women sat in the room, all in their middle ages. They were startled to see ...
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 ...

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, ...

Pakistani singers making it big in Bollywood
Pakistani singers crossing the border to lend their voice for a song or two in India isn’t a new story at all. Back in the day Nazia Hassan and Zohaib made the music of Disco Deewane rocking success and since then this has become a trend. In 2004, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan made his debut ...
Dabangg score appeals to the lowest common denominator, but who’s complaining?
There’s music buffs, and then there’s Salman Khan buffs. The latter relish the ‘masala’ quotient featured in all of composer-duo Sajid-Wajid’s offerings ['Sohni De Nakhre' from Partner - the song featured in so many mehndis I wanted to strangle myself with a patka; 'Karle Baby Dance' from Hello; 'Happening' - Mai aur Mrs. Khanna; practically ...
