Vishal and Shekhar seem to be having a rollicking time this year, with almost every album of theirs setting the cash registers ringing. After "Tashan", "Bachna Ae Haseeno", they're out with "Dostana" and it rocks.

Director Atul Agnihotri roped in composer duos Sajid-Wajid and Salim-Suleiman to compose the music for his film, which is a screen adaptation of Chetan Bhagat's second bestseller.

Composer Pritam Chakraborty's new offering "Kidnap" will disappoint his fans because only the first few songs of the album manage to impress. The rest are skippable.

Album: “Om Shanti Om”; Music: Vishal-Shekhar; Singers: K.K., Sonu Nigam, Udit Narayan, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, Sukhwinder Singh, Shaan, Abhijeet, Rahul Saxena, Sunidhi Chauhan, Shreya Ghoshal, Richa Sharma, Marianne D’Cruz, Nisha Mascarenhas, Caralisa Monteiro; Rating: **** As Diwali ’07 makes its way around the corner, we can all expect to witness the Best of Bollywood [...]

Album: “Bhool Bhulaiyaa”; Music: Pritam; Singers: Neeraj Shridhar, K.K, Tulsi Kumar, Shaan, Shreya Ghosal, M.G. Sreekumar; Rating: ** Director Priyadarshan’s forte is remakes. Take any of his past flicks like Hulchul, Garam Masala, Bhagam Bhag and the more recent Dhol and you will certainly observe that they are all comic remakes of Malayam movies. And [...]

Album: “Lagaa Chunari Main Daag”; Music: Shantanu Moitra; Rating: *** Music is not just about beating the drums, flirting with the guitar and creating a boisterous atmosphere for no rhyme or reason. In an age, where music has lost the touch of originality and is gripped with meaningless verses talking about everything but the theme, [...]

Album: “Manorama”; Music: Jayesh Gandhi and Raiomond Mirza; Rating: ** It’s rare to come across an album which has a collection of only soothing tracks. Also, it’s not always important to have a variety which caters to all genres of music. Manorama Six Feet Under, which boasts of a bunch of unconventional actors, seems to [...]

Album: “Mummy ji”; Music: Aadesh Srivastava; Rating: * Aadesh Srivastava has for long been at the helm of delivering some great music, be it Baabul, Dev or even Chalte Chalte. But then he has also been responsible for duds like Saawan- The love Season and Husn amongst a host of others. After composing the score [...]

Album: “Nanhe Jaisalmer”; Music: Himesh Reshammiya; Rating: ** Decades back Dharmendra starred in Hrishikesh Mukherjee directed Guddi, as himself. The film’s theme revolved around a girl, played by Jaya Bhaduri who was fascinated by the superstar. More than 35 years later, Bobby Deol too enacts a similar role, though this time, the girl is replaced [...]

Album: “Dhol”; Music: Pritam; Singers: Akriti Kakkar, Kunal Ganjawala, Labh Janjua, Mika Singh, Shaan, Shreya Ghoshal, Sohail Kaur, Soham Chakraborty, Sunidhi Chauhan,Usha; Rating: **1/2 It may seem promising, but it’s not. One will expect a lot from this multi-starrer comic flick as the music is all over the radio and the promos are splashed across [...]
