With his next film “Go”, this, too, fails to happen. Let’s see [...]

Film: “Aggar”; Music Director: Mithoon; Singers: Qurram, Rup, Roop Kumar Rathod, Tulsi Kumar, Sharmishtha, Mithoon, Hamza, Shilpa Rao, Kshitij; Rating: **1/2 Composer Mithoon provides variety in the album, but one thing is common to all tracks – romance and passion. Arabian music makes its presence felt in the title track, “Aggar”, which is a completely [...]

Film: “Dhamaal”; Music: Adnan Sami; Singers: Adnan Sami, Shaan, Amit Kumar, Asha Bhonsale, Sandeep Shirodkar, Raghav Sachar; Rating: * All-boys seems to be the theme for Indra Kumar’s “Dhamaal” – not only is the star cast packed with male stars like Arshad Warsi, Sanjay Dutt, Riteish Deshmukh, Ashish Chaudhary and Sohail Khan but the singers [...]

Film: “Dhoka”; Music Director: MM Kreem; Rating: ** Pooja Bhatt’s third major directorial venture ‘Dhokha’ after two dismal flops is a socially relevant film that revolves around the life of a suicide bomber. ‘Dhokha’ happens to be the launching pad for model-turned-actor Muzzamil Ibrahim while Tulip Joshi plays his love interest in the film. Tulip [...]

Film: “Chak de India”; Music Director: Salim Suleiman; Rating: **1/2 “Chak De India”, a much-awaited Yash Raj Film starring Shah Rukh Khan, is set to hit the screens but the music isn’t really making waves.

Music Director: Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy; Ratings: *** Sajid Khan’s debut film’s promos are out and going by the looks, the movie seems to be fun, youthful and full of energy like that of his sister Farha Khan’s directorial debut “Main Hoon Na”. And the music is not far behind as Khan has roped in Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy for the [...]

Music Director: Pritam Chakraborty, Imran; Lyrics: Ali Khan; Rating: ** Teenybopper’s fantasies galore as another refreshing youth oriented flick KAISE KAHE hits marquee this year after the soft “n” squashy MP3. If debutant Ashu-Dhruv “cool” music proved tantalizing and alluring in MP3 then this time Pritam’s heart-throbbing classical westernized rock mode music is all set [...]

Music Director: Sukhwinder Singh; Lyrics: Babu Singh Mann; Rating: ** Dealing with the global issue of illegal immigration and based on the Malta boat tragedy, not much in the way of expectations were present for the ‘Kaafila’ audio. Yes, one does expect some pining-for-homeland compositions, but that is about all! So, let us see what [...]

Music Director: Himesh Reshammiya; Lyrics: Sameer; Rating: ** Himesh Reshammiya, the multifarious musical prodigy who recently stole headlines for his maiden acting project is back with FEAR, a low profile crime thriller. Year 2007 has been mixed bag for him as his two albums NAMASTEY LONDON and AAP KAA SUROOR proved pure gold while rest [...]
