music reveiw of Aisa yeh jahaan

After a great trailer lots is expected from the music and I hope the music is as good as the trailer.




Sautela Sheher- This is one of the best songs of the year and Dr palash Sen has sung it perfectly. Abid Khan Langa's sufi in the middle is also soulful. The song has great lyrics and the whistle parts are also very nice to hear. Great start to an album and the song is near perfect. Lyrics are so good that one connects to the song instantly. Euphoria have started perfectly.


Haiyaa Ho- This song starts of with a typical Assamese tune and has smell of north east folk and that is great to see. It sounds like Papon's bihu naam and is another good song. Depicts Assamese culture really well and the singer has done a great job too so definitely worth a hear.


Lori (nanhi munni chidiya)- This song is a cute song and is easy on the ears and Indian Idol Junior winner Anjana has sung it well and the song is surely a fun listen and lyrics are also soulful and the song will gel in well with people who enjoy nursery rhymes and the tune is also very melodious and enchanting.


Title song- The song starts off with like a clock sound and this was the song in the trailer of the film like a church song and is a good listen and is a pretty situational number that will sound better when you watch the film. The lyrics are not so clear but the song is a good one.


Hey ya- This song again has a pretty Assamese feel to it and is really a great listen and Dr.Palash Sen stamps his authority here. Better than haiyaa ho and is really a good tune and a bit more upbeat than other songs.


We go party (everyday)- A party song finally some people may say. The song starts off with catchy beats and I do not understand what a party song is doing here. This song is not bad and annoying but not really bad and is a good club number.


This album is a great one by Euphoria and I am excited to watch the film after a great trailer and music album.


My picks- Sautela Sheher, Lori, Hey ya

music reveiw of Thani Oruvan (Tamil)

This is another album that I expect good from as Hip Hop Tamihza have always impressed me. Let us see if this is as good as their first 2.


Title song- This song is pure rock and is very westernized but can get boring after some time and hard to the ears. Not such a great start and the song gets too repetitive after some time that is not the signs of a good song. Let us move on to the next song.


Kannala Kannala- This song is much more promising and it is very rare for Hip Hop tamihza to make such a melodious number but this is not that bad and is a typical Tamil melody and is good to hear. After the first song which was rock a melodious song is always good to listen to. The table in the middle is very soulful and I wish we could hear more tabla in Indian music.Good decent song if not great.


Kadhal Cricket-  The song starts off like a child's nursery rhyme but the vocals of Kharesma really take this song to a different class level altogether. This is a song on cricket and is good for cricket fans like me. The western piece of clectic-like music in the middle is the highlight of this song. The song if not great is still listenable and not that bad.


Theenai Dhaan Vellum- This song may not be an idol song without the visuals it will gel in well with hatever story the film has as this song is really situational so not great without visuals one can skip it.


Aasai perasai- This song starts of with some sitar that is really good to hear and there is like a mini rap so the fusion of sitar and rap is really enchanting to hear. The song is like a SCi- fi song and is a good hear and will gel in well with people who like rap.


A very boring album by Hip Hop tamihza and this is not good after 2 good albums by them.


My picks- Kannala kannala, Aasai Perasai

music review of Shukriya (hindi)

This is another unknown album I am going to review and I do not have much hopes from it but let us see if it proves me wrong.


Purwaiyaa- The song starts off with a very groovy calypso type music and then enters the vocals and the song transforms into a masterpiece and the pause singing in the middle is really good to hear and the song gets better and better as it progresses and this is good to see and the backing vocals are also flawless. This song is like a celebration and will be remembered for a long time. Great start and the soona man part is so flawless that one will fall in love with it at first time only. Perfect start.


Title song- The song starts of with a very melodious tune and the Shradda Shree again sings this song flawlessly and the title song is so good that one will cherish it forever and the song has some really classy lyrics and the whole song gets better and better in the middle and this is rarely seen in new songs and this is great to see and the way Shradda says shukriya is lovely. Another great ballad.


Khuda Mere-  By the start of things this song seems to be a more pacy and upbeat number with some rock and the singer takes the song to a new level again and again great lyrics lift this song and this song feels like a tamil song of the early 2000s and is a bit more commercial than the other 2 songs but the middle gets better and this is a highlight of this album and the Sa re Ga ma Pa in the middle is great to hear. Great end to a perfect album.


This is one of the best of the years and has certainly challenged other great albums also . I would love to hear much more from Shradda Shree.


My picks- All 3

music review of Highway (Marathi)

This album has high expectations as it is Amit Trivedi's debut Marathi album and I am expecting really great piece of music.


Kangaroo-  The song starts of with a typical Amit Trivedi style and reminds of the masterpiece Ghanchakkar he made and then enter Benny Dayal's vocals and he after so long sounds good.   This song does not have full complicated Marathi words and one can understand most of the lyrics and the best part is at the start when the singer is like whispering. This song is a treat for Amit trivedi fans and this guy never fails to impress. Perfect start!!!!! The end of the song has disco beats that are so addictive.

Kalandar- The song starts of like Zinda from Lootera and then transforms into a fast and pacy tune and this song is a masterpiece and reminds me of tghe music of kai Po che. Great vocals and this song sounds like a feel good song and as if Amit Trivedi has himself sang it but it is not sung by him. The middle part of the song is great and some classy stuff from Mr Trivedi.

Pinjade Wale- This is just another version of Kalandar so it must be awesome as even the original was great. 


Another masterpiece by Amit trivedi and just like his kai Po che 3 songs but all pitch perfect. He is the best musician in the world at the moment and I hope he continues making such lovely piece of music.

My picks- All 3

Music Review of bangistan

Lots is expected because the music is by Ram Sampath who is one of my favourite music composers.

Maula- This song is a really nice sufi song and it will surely gel well with fans of sufi music and I really liked it. Lyrics are also good and Ram Sampath has sung it well and it is a good song about god. There is a great use of Tabla and that is really good to see. Surely a worth listen.

Meri Zidd- The song starts off with a lovely piano piece and then the song becomes a masterpiece and the singer has done an excellent job and after that enters the shock. A fast rock drum piece comes an becomes a rock song. Ram Sampath at his best here. He just loves making experimental music and this is an example of it. Great song.

Hogi Kranti- The song starts with off like a nursery rhyme song and the song is a great fusion of mann main vishwas and Celtic-music and that is amazing. The song does not have good lyrics but the song is really good. I am addicted to it.

Is duniya se ladna hai-  The song starts off with like a Ganpati music then goes into full rock and may not be impressive as the previous songs but a good listen after all but one can easily skip it. Nothing special just a number that will be understood better when the film releases.

Saturday Night- The song is just a party song but not a typical one and it is one with ram sampath touches that make it a listenable song and not an annoying one. A good party number after some time.

Ishq karenge- This song looks really good visually but not when you hear it. It is the only weakling of the album and one can easily give it a skip.

Another very experimental album by Ram Sampath. His Delhi Belly was one of the best albums and this almost reaches to that level.

My picks- Hogi Kranti, Maula, meri Zidd

Rating- 3.5 out of 5 stars




music review of Thoda Lutf Thoda Ishq

I do not expect a lot from this album seeing the title and a new composer but I still think this album can surprise me.

Mera pyaar hai Maggi jaisa- This is one of the worst songs I have heard in the recent times and the lyrics are crazy. the lady says her love is like maggi and one will get it instantly. This song is so annoying that yours ear drums will start crying. Just skip it.

Pyaar Hua Jab tujhse- This is a simple love song and sung really well by Mohammed Irfan and this song is a welcome one after the torture of the first song. This is peaceful and one can sway with the music instantly and is a decent listen. One should listen to this and I am sure they will like it.

Bawri Pooch Pool Party- Although this is a party song but I did not find this annoying at all. I infact enjoyed it and it is a really fun song. One would think this is sung by Mika but instead it is sung by Raja Sagoo. This song is not good but it is really fun and one can listen to it when in a bad mood.

Title song- Another peppy song but Labh Janjua is the singer so one can expect a lot. The song is really boring but it is saved by the vocals of Labh Janjua . Apart from the good singer, this song is really bad and annoying. I would rather listen to better Labh Janjua songs than this.

The album is a big letdown and only one good song and that is not good.  More melodious songs should have been included.

My picks- Pyaar Hua jab tujhse

Rating- 1 out of 5


Music review of Massan

My aim to continue to explore new music continues with Massan and let me see if this time it works because last time this backfired.


Tu kisi Rail Si- This is surely a masterpiece and Swanand Kirkire's vocals are perfect in this song. It is a really simple song and nothing complicated and that is what has impressed me a lot about this song. A very hummable song and Kirkire has sung this song as if he is singing the song of his life. Full emotions and the song is just a classy affair and much better than the love songs we hear these days. This is just how a song works so well when you just keep things so simple. A sure listen.

Mann Kasturi- The song starts off with a lovely piece of piano and then the song turns into another classy ballad and is a really a very emotional song sung extremely well by the singers and is surely a song that will be in my songs list rather than the over-hyped songs of Roy or ABCD 2. This song is just a song that engrosses listeners and very easy and peaceful on the ears and the singers have sung this perfectly. I am really impressed by this piece of music.

Bhor- The song has bit of Rajasthani folk flavour and that is what gets you hooked up really fast. This song is surely a celebration and one will love it instantly. This is what I call music and not the noisy party music we hear these days . The songs that talk about not getting a friend or about the sun setting and party starting are boring ( you know which ones I am talking about). This is the type of songs people should listen to more. The high pitch vocals are perfect and the part talking about the panchi and gagan is just breathtaking.

Great album by band Indian Ocean and this album is one of the best of the year. It is just a short and sweet album with 3 songs but is a classy one and will be loved by all and vocals are also very strong. 

My picks- all 3

Rating- 4 starts out of 5
