Ishaqzaade:
The track sung by Javed Ali, Shreya Ghoshal is a melody song . The song is catchy and Javed does not disappoint. Shreya does not have much to do until the second part of the song. Hence the song belongs to Javed. Though it is good, it is a love melody and not Javed's best
Verdict: Good(4stars)
Chokra Jawaan:
The Sheila ki Jawani combo of singers is back for this item song under the helm of Amit Trivedi this time. Sung by Vishal Dadlani and Sunidhi Chauhan who seem to enjoy the song equally. Vishal seems even better in this song. The song is sure to be a chartbuster if the film clicks in the audience.
Verdict: Good(3stars)
Pareshan:
Here comes the star performer of the album. It is a sure chartbuster that will be played continuously in every shopping mall. The song is an instant hit and is sung by Shalmali Kholgade a first timmer who has a whole range of confident voice. It is confusing to decide if its the music or the singer that have made the song an instant hit. The song combines rock music with harmonium music . It is like the mix of 1970s and 2000s. The song accentuates Parineeti's performance in picturisation. Shalmali's voice is like Parineeti's exact match.Don't miss this.
Verdict: Superhit(5 stars)
Jhalla Walla
The song is sung by Shreya who surprises us with a different tone. It is hard to recognize as it is not Shreya's regular song. The song is like an item song in places a mujra in places and a regular song in places. It is a modern adaptation of qawali genre with only one singer
Verdict: Good(3stars)
Aafaton ke Parinde
Our favorite singer of "Give Me Some Sunshine" for the film 3 Idiots and "Sadka Kiya" from the I Hate Luv Storys is back. The song is from the genre that belongs to Sukhwinder Singh. But Suraj has given his best and does not disappoint us. The song is refreshing and is the first song to be released along with the trailers.
Verdict: Hit(4stars)
Pareshaan (remix)
The less said is the better about this remix. The album's feel is destroyed by this song that I want to exclude this song from my playlist. It adds nothing to the album
Verdict:Passable (Skip)
Jhalla Walla (remix)
This remix is a better one and does make a totally different song of the original. Like I said the original is like a mujra and a qawali with a regular song. This song is more like the Bombay Vikings songs. It sounds modern and is the urban version of "Jhalla Walla"
Verdict:Good(3stars)
Overall Verdict: Hit ( 4 stars out of 5)
The rhythm of life takes an upbeat when a person takes privilige in listening every sound as a sweet healer to his ears. The singing birds in the morning lead us to a beautiful soothing morning hoping for a nice day thereafter and a lovely day ahead.
Its not always that every kind of music gives you peace and happiness. This basically depends on mood and the situation that currently beholds. Like say in the party everyone is in the mood of enjoyment, so a rocking dancing number is the demand of every heart to shake a leg on it . On the other hand when one desires to relax and stay calm he/she prefers romantic or slow and sweet songs to rejuvenate ones senses.
Nowadays youths have taken much to listening music ,making sure that they don't walk out of their home without handsfree The handsfree or say headphones are now added as a special and important accessory in their kit. The public vehicles now see people with their ipods or mobile phones singing loud for them.Though it could be considered as a pass-time for few but some are the real admirers of music that help them relax and give them pleasure.
Music has always been a treat to everyone. It makes one afresh and rekindles the inner joy and purity. Whether its bhajans and daily chores in the holy places, the hip-hop songs to dance for in the parties,even the moving steps of a person has that sound which could either irritate you or make you happy.It all depends on how your mood is and how you take the sounds as irritating or misleading noises or as delectable food to your ears.
Give a chance to everykind of music to be your life's part. Some will give you a reason to dance to your happiness, some will give you a reason to murmur it to your beloved, some will give you a reason to cry for your friends and so on. "MUSIC IS LIFE"
Players the latest hindi remake of English movie The Italian Job has tunes composed by Pritam Chakraborthy. Expectations soaring high on the album since the combo of the Race movie makers Abbas-Mastan duo with Pritam is back. So lets see is the album meets expectations of audience .
cast:Abhishek Bachchan | Bobby Deol | Sonam Kapoor | Bipasha Basu | Neil Nitin Mukesh | Sonam Kapoor
Music Director:Pritam
Jis jagah pe khatam Singers: Neeraj Shridhar , Siddharth Basrur , Mauli Dave
The album starts with a chartbuster that is being played a lot on promos of the movie. It has the rightful mix of thriller feel . Neeraj Shridhar proves to be the right choice likewise in Hare krishna Hare Ram from Bhool Bhulaiyya. Mauli Dave the contestant from Saregama surely got herself a peppy song which is sure to raise her profile. The song is an instant hit.
Our verdict : Thumbs Up
Jhoom jhoom ta ja Singer: Ritu Pathak
The song has a lot of scope but is dogged by inconsistency in some places. Though it turns out to be OK in the end, the song is never going to be a chartbuster. It is more of a Sunidhi Chauhan type song. Though the song doesn't disappoint, it does not live upto expectations. More can be expected from Pritam.
Our verdict : Neutral
Ho gayi tun Singers:Yashita Yashpal , Bob
A collosal disappointment with thrown in instruments of different uncoordinated sounds.
Our verdict : Spam
Dil ye bekarar kyun hai - reprise Nikhil D'Souza , Priyani Vani
A relief song with feel of a romance the forte of Pritam Da. It brings the memories of I am in love from Once upon a time in Mumbai. This feel good song with its sugar syrupy tone saves the album from disaster of previous song. Kudos to Nikhil for uplifting the song with his vocals. He is another K.K. in making
Our verdict : Thumbs Up
Jhoom jhoom ta hun main - film version Arijit Singh
The song has rightful mix of right singer with right notes. The same version by Ritu Pathak had disappointed whereas Arjit singh shows why he deserves the song. He makes this his own song and brings his own voice with right feel and soul which were lacking in early version and we start loving this song already.Arjit sounds like Atif Aslam and now we know Pritam is making his own versions of Atif and K.K. Good that this is the filmi version as it will certainly do more good than the other version.
Our verdict : Double Thumbs Up
Jis jagah pe khatam - remix Neeraj Shridhar , Siddharth Basrur , Mauli Dave , Kiran Kamath This is a disappointing remix. Pointless in having it as if it has become mandatory to include a remix in a filmi album for promos sake
Our verdict : Thumbs Down
Dil ye bekarar kyun hai - remix Mohit Chauhan , Shreya Ghoshal , Hyacinth Dsouza
The remix is helped by Mohit's vocals which never cease to amuse us. If its not for Mohit this remix would have been another trash.
Our verdict : Thumbs Up
Buddhi do bhagwaan - charlie's song Abhishek Bachchan
Last time Abhi and Pritam joined for Thayn Thayn in Dum Maaro Dum. This song though not as good a chartbuster as earlier outing , it is going to be just another song sung by Abhi. It is difficult to say now whether this will be a hit. It is not bad either. The song seems more apt for a desi version of Charlie's Angels. Wonder if Abhi is playing Charlie and the heroines Sonam and Bips turn out to be Charlie's Angels.
Our verdict : Thumbs Up
Dil ye bekarar kyun hai Mohit Chauhan , Shreya Ghoshal
Pritam Album is always incomplete without Mohit's vocals. This song sure completes the dish of Players. The song is romantic sounding more like Te Amo. This is going to be a chartbuster surely and Mohit rightfully delivers the song with his soulful singing. Kudos to him .
Our verdict : Thumbs Up
Jhoom jhoom ta hun main Siddharth Basrur
We start wondering why there are so many versions of a song for Pritam. May be next time he can start a competition of giving the same song to 11 singers and vote them out in each round and the winner gets the song in film version . By now the song seems only to accentuate that Arjit is a better singer. We are more convinced already that his is a better version.
Our verdict : Spam
Coming to the final verdict we have 3 chartbusters after all these songs. The winners are Jis jagah pe khatam , Dil ye bekarar kyun hai, Jhoom jhoom ta hun main - film version Our verdict : Thumbs Up Rating : 3.5 out of 5 stars
Why this Kolaveri Di- a song that has taken world by the storm. The classic example of howcyber space can be used for publicity. Within a week’s time it has become the biggest hit in the country. Sony Entertainment India had very wisely used its marketing strategy and uploaded thissong on facebook. And with this step it became song with 3.8 million views on YouTube. On all radio stations it is the song with highest demand.And it is the first tamil song to be premiered on national music channel MTV. {jcomments on}South indian and tamil movies are now on global music charts and credit for it goes to kolaveri di.
The basic reason behind such a rage for this song is its catchy words. Taminglish –tamil +English words are used in this song. Tune is very catchy and you would find yourself humming itonce you hear it. It is sung by Tamil star Dhanush who happens to be son-in-law of megastar Rajinikant. This song is from upcoming movie ‘3’ directed by Aishwarya Dhanush who is daughter of Rajinikant. The composer of this song by now has become a famous name at mere age of 21. Anirudh who is nephew of Rajinikant composed this song and according to him broken English and catchy tune has made this song such an all time hit within few weeksof its release. If you listen to the lyrics it makes no sense. Why this kolaveri di-means- why this murderous rage. Soup song means love failure song and soup boys means boys who failed in love.
This song has been taken noticed of by people of all ages, from kids to adults, artistto intellectuals, college goings to professionals. Bollywood Super star Amitabh Bacchan, film director Karan Johan all have tweeted about this song and congratulated Dhanush and Aishwarya. If you haven’t heard the song yet, don’t waste time and listen to this latest craze on youtube.And lyrics can be very much understood but if you can’t then do not hesitate google lyricsfor Kolaveri Di and you would have list of so many sites answering your query!! Why this kolaverikolaveri di, why this kolaveri kolaveri di..oops can’t stop myself from humming this tune!! link for you tube video of this song-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YR12Z8f1Dh8
Mausam is an upcoming movie starring Shahid Kapur and Sonam Kapoor directed by Shahid's father Pankaj Kapur.The cast includes Supriya Pathak and Anupam Kher. Music is by Pritam Chakraborty and lyrics by Irshad Kamil.
01 Rabba Main Toh Mar Gaya Oye:
Sung by Shahid Mallya , the song is a sweet melody with a sufi and punjabi touch in the music beats of the song. The lyrics represents the hesitation and shyness faced in love. The song connects instantly and is in the league of Ajj Din Chadiya from Love aaj kal. This is one of the best songs in the album. The verdict for the song is Outstanding. Read on to find out if it is the best of all.
02 Sajh Dhaj Ke :
The song sung by Mika Singh and Pankaj Kapur. Ofcourse how can a Pritam album be without a Mika song. The singer has been a regular in most of Pritam's albums. The peppy dance beats with the drums of the foot tapping number are similar to Nagada from Jab we met or Bhootni ke from Singh is Kingg. It is a typical punjabi song with teasing lyrics addressed for NRIs. As far as picturisation is concerned we get to see this number for a marriage. The second lead Aditi sharma is also picturised in the song. The verdict for the song is good.
03 - Ik Tu Hi Tu Hi
The song sung by Hans Raj Hans captures the sadness of separation in love. Hans Raj shows how we miss his soulful voice in hindi picture all these years. The song is in the league of Tadap Tadap from Hum dil De chuke Sanam or Aaoge Jab Tum from Jab we Met. The verdict for the song is Outstanding.
04 - Poore Se Zara Sa Kam Hain
The song begins with only the voice of Rashid Khan without instrument beats for more than a minute. It is a sad number capturing the essence of completeness in love without partner. The song seems situational . The verdict of the song is Good.
05 - Aag Lage Us Aag Ko
Sung by Karsan Das Sagathia the song is a mix of Gujarathi Duha with Sufi music an interesting mix. The dance number is in the league of Dholi Taro Dhol Baje from Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. The song captures the ecstasy after reunion of two people separated. The verdict of the song is Very Good.
06 - Mallo Malli
Here comes a typical Shahid Kapoor dance number customised for his dance. Tochi Raina returns after his composing stint with Vishesh films. The song is in complete contrast with all the songs in the album so far.It is interesting to see whether the picturisation has captured the dance beats accordingly. At times the song sounds like a remix song which mostly end up as the closing credit sequences. The verdict for the song is Very Good.
07 - Rabba Main Toh Mar Gaya Oye
Now we may be wondering why the song has repeated again. It is neither remix nor reprise version. Well Pritam seems missing his favourite singer Rahat Fateh Ali Khan's voice. The song which is typically sung by Rahat has Shahid Mallya singing the earlier version. While reviewing the song earlier we mentioned how the song is in the league of Aaj Din Chadiya. So it may be natural that Pritam wanted Rahat to sing it. Perhaps he may have felt that Mallya's version is better and the promos ended up with that version. We sure can't agree more. The verdict for the song is Good.
08 - Sajh Dhaj Ke (Desi Mix Tiger Style)
The song has some fast pace and additional beats than the original. I am prejudiced against remixes normally. But I have to make an exception for this one surely. If the original is a wine in a bottle the remix is a 40 year old wine which just got improved in beats and tweaks. This version is certainly better. I am surprised how they didn't use it in promos which would have certainly improved the reach of the song. The song is in the league of Mauja hi Mauja Remix. The verdict for the song is Outstanding.
09 - Sajh Dhag Ke (Club Mix Tiger Style)
Now I am personally feeling a bit exhausted hearing to this may mixes. Well I am personally happy with Desi Mix Tiger style. The club Style doesnt suit the tempo of the song. At places it sounds like only drums and an army march.Sure the beats may be good but it is not coherent. The verdict for the song is average.
10 - Ik Tu Hi Tu Hi (Reprise)
Rahatji better keep a watch on Shahid Mallya. The reprise version is nothing different from original and makes it difficult to pick among the two which must be a success for Shahid Mallya. I personally like both the versions. The verdict for the song is Outstanding.
11 - Ik Tu Hi Tu Hi (Mehfil Mix)
The song from Wadali brothers is a surprisingly completely different from earlier versions and listener instantly forgets the earlier versions. The song sounds in the league of Aas Paas Khuda from Anjaana Anjaani. The verdict for the song is Outstanding.
12 - Mallo Malli
Lehmber Hussainpuri and Hard Kaur just accelerate the song more with peppy rap. The song does not dissappoint in its repeat version and I was surely not tired by this version. The verdict for the song is Very Good.
13 - Mallo Malli (Remix)
This Tochi Raina song remixed by Kiran Kamath is not much different from original. There is not much to be said than the different beats and chorus. The song sounds more like Kyon Paisa Paisa karti hai from De Dana Dan .It is a disappointment and a liability for the album. The verdict for the song is average.
Final Verdict : On the upside 'Mausam ' as the title suggests is a refreshing album. On the downside the album with three versions of three songs makes for most . While this may be for the better the listeners may be spoilt for choice to pick their best version, there is also a danger of their shying away due to repetitiveness of a song part. The good news is nothing can stop a good song from being a hit.
