After Siddharth Anand’s Salaam Namaste, Ta Ra Rum Pum and Bachna Ae Haseeno, it’s time for Anjaana Anjaani, his next endeavor with his favourite composers Vishal and Shekhar. Â
The duo’s last outing with I Hate Luv Storys was a commercial musical chartbuster. This definitely raises the audience expectations from the romantic comedy, Anjaana Anjaani that has roped in nine lyricists and some great voices to create that spark.
In most albums, there are at an average five songs. However, in this film there are seven full length songs with a couple of remixes that truly justifies the musical tag that it has lent to itself....
Robinhood Pandey ko nahi dekha to kya dekha! Though Sallu has shed his muscles to resemble a pakka paunchy Bihari cop, you dare not miss his bare-bodied fight in the film.
Macho man of Bollywood and sizzling lass Sonakshi Sinha will be seen opposite each other in ‘Dabangg’, produced by Arbaaz Khan. It recreates the action-packed ‘Wanted’ but this time it deals with illicit practices in UP and Bihar and points out the loopholes in the system.Â
The soundtrack of the movie is desi dhinchak which some tazaa mazaa in it.  ...

When perfectionist Aamir Khan is a part of a film, you can surely expect it to be like a jack-in-the-box. You have no idea of what might be coming your way, but you are sure that there is something unusual about it.
Peepli [Live] is produced by Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao and directed by Anushka Rizvi. The film neither has A-rated Bollywood actors acting in it nor does it have gigantic sets in gold, yet it is the first Indian film to compete in the Sundance Film Festival. It is not surprising as Khan is known to bring India a series of achievements, Lagaan nominated at the Oscars being one of them. ...
A first peek into the music of Couple's Retreat was revealed by A R Rahman yesterday through this official facebook post. "The music of my first Hollywood comedy is unveiled! What do you think of it?" he wrote. Since then, his post has been abuzz.
Though the album 'Couples Retreat' Original Motion Picture Soundtrack comprises of 15 tracks and is yet to be released officially (physical/ digital downloads), here's a lowdown on some of the appealing tracks from the album....
Anticipations have been high for A R Rahman’s music in Gautham Menon’s Vinnaithandi Varuvaya as this is the first Tamil album composed by the maestro after he bagged the Academy awards, Bafta and Golden Globe honours last year. Expectations increase all the more as Thamarai has penned the lyrics for the album.
Vinnaithandi Varuvaya is packed with impressive tracks by the acclaimed musician but is dominated by western influences, which might not go down too well with the audiences. But the album is a sure treat for music lovers looking for experimental music. Here’s a walk through the tracks in the album-...
Salim-Sulaiman's pervious scores for films like Chak De India, Dor and Iqbal are permanently etched in our minds, but for many who have followed the duo's music, Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi might just skim over ears, let alone register in our minds! Simply put, the score isn't as magical as it was made out to be. Period.
Here's the lowdown.
Tujh mein Rab Dikhta Hain is a 'lover-appeasing' song – both with lyrics and melody. The first few seconds of the songs are passable, but the flute solo by PMK Naveen Kumar is spot on – something which will get you hooked for the rest of the song. The peppy folk chorus suggesting a village setting makes the song sound fuller. Rookumar Rathod is soothing but not at his comforting best!...
The Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na hangover had just got over, but before radio stations and music lovers got sober, Rahman drowned them in Yuvraaj.
By all measures, the music of Yuvvraaj makes a good 'dip'. Rahman, in this album, has made abundant use of symphony/string sections and choral music. However, one does not really have to be familiar with Bach, Beethoven or Mozart in order to enjoy this; Gulzar's organic word flow makes this transition easy for the Bollywood aficionado. I found this seven track album filled with archetypical Rahmanisque revelations. Here's how… ...

Let's get straight to the point. Karzzzz (whats with the four 'Z's?) has a whopping 19 soundtracks, out of which seven are originals and 12 are remixes. After the 'Aap Ka Suroor' high, Himesh Reshammiya now comes with Karzzzz – a remake of the 1980s Rishi Kapoor starrer musical hit 'Karz'. ...
One thing that is really exciting about Paa's music is it's simplicity with melody, words and arrangements. Second, keeping in mind the unique subject of the film, it’s even more exciting to see where these pieces of music will be used. The music suggests that the film is going to be drama, with some comic elements to it. But well, wait till you watch. As far as the number of songs goes, the album contains seven tracks. The vocals are rendered by the likes of Amitabh Bachchan, Shilpa Rao, Sunidhi Chauhan and Shaan. Lyricist Swanand Kirkire, who has been delivering really great stuff of late (latest, 3 Idiots) pushes you to listen to the songs closely, but the wordplay is hook oriented. ...
First things first. This album isn't meant for the generation that grew up on Laxmikant Pyarelal's music and Anand Bakshi's lyrics.
The title of the film may be the same (well, almost, if you cut away the fuzz of the zzz's), but Himesh Reshammiya is not Rishi Kapoor and Shweta Kumar is not Tina Munim. Of course, these ain't the 80s, and its obvious that Tandoori Nights will catch more eardrums than Paisa Ye Paisa. If the continuous play on FM stations and music channels is any indication, the surmise has been right. ...
