Music Review – SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE

By Parampreet Singh Sandhu • Jan 14th, 2009 • Category: Entertainment

Allah Rakka Rahman has surpassed any and all expectations with his recent Golden Globe win for best soundtrack.

Music Review: KHALLBALLI

By Parampreet Singh Sandhu • Dec 27th, 2008 • Category: Entertainment

Music: Sajid-Wajid
Lyrics: Jalees Sherwani, Shabbir Ahmed
Sajid-Wajid are to Salman Khan what ‘aloo’ is to ‘chaat’. Unfortunately it’s the frozen ‘aloo chaat’ you need to microwave and rarely tastes good. Three of the four moves the brothers composed for this year have ironically starred or had traces of Salman “Angry-immature-childish” Khan. GOD TUSSI GREAT HO and [...]



Music Review: CHANDNI CHOWK TO CHINA

By Parampreet Singh Sandhu • Dec 27th, 2008 • Category: Entertainment

Music: Shanker-Eshaan-Loy, Kailash-Naresh-Paresh, Bappi and Bappa Lahri, Bohemia
Lyrics: Rajat Arora, Shaily Shailender, Kailash Kher, Bohemia
Though CHANDNI CHOWK TO CHINA’s main cast, director, music directors and producers are Bollywood’s very own. Publicity for the film suggests otherwise. Promos are even making their way on hulu.com! It helps when Warner Bros. is one of the leading banners. [...]



Music Review – GHAJINI

By Parampreet Singh Sandhu • Dec 6th, 2008 • Category: Entertainment

Music: A. R. Rahman
Lyrics: Prasoon Joshi
After the release of DIL CHAHTA HAI Aamir Khan became extremely selective in the roles he was offered. Since the 2001 release he’s only been seen in four movies! All of them creating massive curiosity at the box office and raking in a hefty amount.
GHAJINI will be no different. Promos [...]



Music Review – RAB NE BANA DI JODI

By Parampreet Singh Sandhu • Nov 19th, 2008 • Category: Entertainment

The year thus far hasn’t provided much in terms of blockbuster music. Highly anticipated albums were worse than the next YUVVRAAJ, SINGH IS KIING and ADA (one would expect more from Rahman, not Pritam though so SING IS KIING would have been weak no matter what). Now its time for the Shah Rukh and Aditya [...]



Music Review – DIL KABADDI

By Parampreet Singh Sandhu • Nov 11th, 2008 • Category: Entertainment

Music Director – Sachin Gupta
Lyrics – Virag Mishra, Sachin Gupta, Shabbir Ahmed
For all those new age youngsters who disdain every “Khan” in the industry except for Irrfan and pride themselves on their intellectual prowess because they know who Rahul Bose is, then DIL KABADDI is one of the most anticipated films of the year.
Sachin Gupta [...]



Music Review – DASVIDANIYA

By Parampreet Singh Sandhu • Nov 5th, 2008 • Category: Entertainment

Music: Kailash Kher, Naresh, Paresh
Lyrics: Kailash Kher
Chances are most people will not bother purchasing this album regardless of whether its good or bad. There are only three original compositions…three? Five total tracks one of them is a remix and the other is an instrumental, so by utilizing the math skills learned from ‘Dora The Explorer’, [...]



Music Review – OYE LUCKY! LUCKY OYE!

By Parampreet Singh Sandhu • Nov 2nd, 2008 • Category: Entertainment

Music Director: Sneha Khanwalkar
Lyrics: Dibakar Banerjee, Amitosh Nagpal,  Mange Ram
When more than half the world is comprised of women, it’s hard to fathom there have only been a few traces of female music composers in India. Usha Khanna was perhaps the most popular woman composer in Bollywood, but new-comers Shibani Kashyap (of the ‘Sajna’ fame) [...]
