<div style="text-align: center;">
<b> Music Composer: Yuvan Shankar Raja</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Starring: Emraan Hashmi & Humaima Malik</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The music of <i>Raja Natwarlal</i> has high expectations from the beginning. The Hindi music album not only has Emraan Hashmi's name behind it, but also South Indian music director, Yuvan Shankar Raja's. To raise the bar even higher the film's namesake the critically acclaimed, <i>Mr.Natwarlal</i>, which had a weighty music score with, Pardesia. <i>Raja Natwarlal,</i> starring Emraan Hashmi and Pakistani actress, Humaima Malik, is a romantic comedy, so expect a fusion of fun and passion. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Raja Natwarlal's soundtrack begins with Bollywood's favorite singer, Arjit Singh, singing <i><b>Tere Hoke Rehengay</b></i>. This song starts slowly at first with a slow piano and slowly melts into slow electronic beats. Our music director sticks with the usual Hashmi style of his former K.K songs, with the "Ooo ooo" that we saw in "Zara Sa" from Jannat 2 and "Tu Hi Meri Shab Hai" from Gangster. This songs toggles between dramatized keyboard, electronic beats, and guitar, and evolves into a Western classical song as the percussion picks up. There is quite a variety of instrumentals in this songs that are brilliantly swirled together with Singh's strong vocals, leaving nothing wanted. A truly unique song. 4.5/5</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UkVszdUhRoo/U9Muha2_97I/AAAAAAAAAI4/njiOCfZt_NA/s1600/IMG_20140726_121940.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="Raja Natwarlal Bollywood Meme Funny Paresh Rawal Emraan Hashmi Talking Hijab" border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UkVszdUhRoo/U9Muha2_97I/AAAAAAAAAI4/njiOCfZt_NA/s1600/IMG_20140726_121940.jpg" height="142" title="Paresh Rawal and Emraan Hashmi" width="320" /></a>Yuvan Shankar Raja really brings in the South Indian flavor into <b><i>Dukki Tikki</i></b>. This fun dance number is exactly something you would expect to see in a comedy. Expect an interesting video paired with this one. Complete with whistling and horns, this song is one of the more pleasant different sounding songs that Mika Singh has done before. 5/5</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The unconventional qawwaliesque number<b><i> Kabhi Ruhani Kabhi Rumani</i></b> is by far the best song on the <i>Raja Natwarlal</i> soundtrack. Intricate classical instrumentals pair beautifully Benny Dayal's voice to breathe life into the song. Just like <i>Tere Hoke Rehengay</i> it transforms dramatically, but in a more refined elegance. The slow tabla playing in the back with skillful chimes and piano sets this song apart from the typical qawwali number. 5/5</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We have found<i> Raja Natwarlal's </i>item number in<b><i> Namak Pare</i></b>. Our music director is again able to offer something new to the table, utilizing popular singers Mamta Sharma and Anupama Amod in a different way. This song fuses Western instrumentals, classical Indian instrumentals, and the classic South Indian song. Anupama's voice works well to complement Mamta Sharma's voice, although he doesn't get much in. From the beginning this song is able to hook the listener. 5/5</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-w5BMHG8ZvXM/U9MuipJcgZI/AAAAAAAAAJA/d0gjqUJtUf4/s1600/IMG_20140726_121821.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Emraan Hashmi Raja Natwarlal Deepika Padukone Photo Bollywood meme funny" border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-w5BMHG8ZvXM/U9MuipJcgZI/AAAAAAAAAJA/d0gjqUJtUf4/s1600/IMG_20140726_121821.jpg" title="Emraan Hashmi" /></a>The songs of<i> Raja Natwarlal</i> takes an unusual turn with <i><b>Flip Your Collar Back</b></i>. It is very catchy, and offers variety like its predecessors, but the hook of the song doesn't seem to work exactly. Perhaps because it gets really gritty and annoying with the "Flip your collar back off to the sides". This song seems like it could potentially turn into a popular dance craze, like Dhinka Chika, but it does not play too lightly on the ears. 2/5</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><i>Tere Hoka Rehengay (reprise)</i></b> is sung by Shweta Pandit. This song tends very acoustic, and the softer beats allow Pandit's voice to shine brighter through. This song is refreshingly a lighter take on the original song, and besides the lyrics is not very similar from the original. As good as, if not better than the original song, this song truly shines as one of the masterpieces of the soundtrack. 5/5</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>Raja Natwarlal'</i>s soundtrack is by far one of the best of this year.The precision of the soundtrack surpasses all of Emraan Hashmi's previous soundtrack With almost every song having the potential to become a hit, this movie should propel further in cinema. Yuvan Shankar Raja does an amazing job of pulling all different types of genres and musical elements together to create a skillfully produced album. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b> Starring: Parineeti Chopra & Aditya Roy Kapur</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Music Composer: Sajid - Wajid</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>Daawat-e-Ishq</i>, or Feast of Love, is a romance about a young saleswoman, Parineeti Chopra, and Aditya Roy Kapur, a charming young chef who woos her with his spicy kebabs and greasy naan. The music is composed by the Yash Raj banner favorite, Sajid-Wajid, who gave us <i>Ek Tha Tiger</i>, and just like other Yash Chopra films the standards are high for this one. This sweet romance brings in seasoned favorites like, Sonu Nigam, Sunidhi Chauhan, Shreya Ghoshal, and Javed Ali, who each have dozens of classic romance songs under their belt. <i>Daawat-E-Ishq</i> promises a lot more than it has to offer. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>Daawat-e-Ishq</i>'s album kicks off with a classical style qawwali title track that has already been recently sending waves across Indian cinema. <i><b>Daawat-e-Ishq</b></i> ropes in Javed Ali in his comfort zone, utilizing all his vocal capacity with alaps. Tabla combines beautifully with harmonium among other instruments to add further to the complexity of this song. This song tends to sound a little too much like a title track, as it is very conversational, making it a more situational number. However, as the song progresses, Sunidhi Chauhan jumps in and the pace increases. 3.5/5</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><i>Mannat</i></b>, <i>Daawat-e-Ishq'</i>s core song features Sonu Nigam, Shreya Ghoshal, and Keerthi. The instrumentals are richly done in this song, as the title song. However as rich as these instrumentals are, this song instrumentals are not multilayered, offering variety. Offering a touch of the Middle East, this is a Sonu song entirely, with bits and pieces of Shreya and Keerthi. This song is a little more serious in tone than one what expect from this type of romantic song, but nevertheless is a welcome addition to the soundtrack. 4/5</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MgqoANOiCI4/U8ipwE44b2I/AAAAAAAAAIg/0J4FXFbqnIA/s1600/IMG_20140718_125056.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="Aditya Roy Kapur Holi Daawat-e-Ishq Rangreli Still Bollywood Meme Funny" border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MgqoANOiCI4/U8ipwE44b2I/AAAAAAAAAIg/0J4FXFbqnIA/s1600/IMG_20140718_125056.jpg" height="177" title="Aditya Roy Kapur Holi Daawat-e-Ishq" width="320" /></a>In the <b><i>Mannat (reprise)</i></b> Shreya Ghoshal and Sonu Nigam trade places. She is now the lead singer, and does a great job in Nigam's shoes. Sonu Nigam takes the backseat in this one, however it is still a fantastic song. Depending on your singer preference, either duet is good. They are both equals in vocal talent. 4/5</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Sounding like a typical Holi song,<b> <i>Rangrel<u>i</u></i></b>, brings in lots of traditional Indian instruments, like dhol, alongside brass instruments, and brings in a lot of scraps from the title track into the melody. The drumming is heavy, and Shreya Ghoshal's voice is playful and intertwines well with Wajid's voice. Although this song is a burst of fun, and has excellent use of instrumentals, there is nothing really distinct about this song in the end. 3/5</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Shalmali Kholgade enters the Daawat-e-Ishq soundtrack with <b><i>Shayarana</i></b>. This female solo is the least intricate of all the songs in this music soundtrack. It is the typically strong female song we have seen from the Yash Raj Camp, like Jazba, though lacking the overall energy. The strange guitar beats, snapping, and Shalmali Kholgade's Western sounding singing when she says the "Shayarana ooo oo " hook, brings in a cheesy inspirational country hook into the song that make it sound very Western and contemporary, making it different from the rest of the soundtrack. 2.5/5</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a href="http://static.ibnlive.in.com/pix/slideshow/07-2014/daawateishq/pinkjuly8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Daawat-e-Ishq Parineeti Chopra and Aditya Roy Kapur Romantic" border="0" src="http://static.ibnlive.in.com/pix/slideshow/07-2014/daawateishq/pinkjuly8.jpg" height="213" title="Daawat-e-Ishq Parineeti Chopra and Aditya Roy Kapur" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The music gets back on course once again with a rock infused classical song, <b><i>Jadu Tone Waaliyaan</i></b> by Shabab Sabri who does an excellent job of classical performance. The electric guitar portions seem to overwhelm the traditional portions, as well as the strange use of a saxophone midway. Not really a harmonious merging of East and West, but not horrible either. 3/5</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The<b><i> Daawat-E-Ishq instrumental</i></b> is a good background music for the album, but is not something to focus on entirely for listening pleasure. It goes in too many directions to listen to alone. Although, it sounds less complex than the original song, it really doesn't offer anything for the listener to do anything with. 2/5</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In the end, the Daawat-E-Ishq soundtrack is not really a feast of love, or a feast of superb music for that matter. It doesn't have horrible songs, but it doesn't really have enough good songs to be considered a remarkable album. For so many skilled singers and products, Daawat-E-Ishq's soundtrack did not live up to the Yash Banner expectations of good music.</div>

<b><br /></b>
<b>Music Composers: Himesh Reshammiya & Meet Bros Anjann</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Himesh Reshammiya is continuing on with his 2014 Bollywood escapade in Salman Khan's latest film, <i>Kick</i>, after the musical disaster that was <a href="http://bollywoodbegum.blogspot.com/2014/06/humshakals-music-review.html">Humshakals</a>. Alongside him, are the Meet Bros Anjann still rivaling in the Hate Story 2 success of Pink Lips. In this 12 track Bollywood music album, we see repeats of several songs. Having multiple versions of songs seems to be the trend in Bollywood as of late. We have also been seeing many actresses and actors stepping up to the plate and singing behind mike, like Shraddha Kapoor in <a href="http://bollywoodbegum.blogspot.com/2014/06/ek-villain-music-review.html">Ek Villain</a> and Shruti Hassan in D-Day. Salman Khan lends his vocals to the <i>Kick</i> soundtrack. His leading lady, Jacqueline Fernandez, and co-stars Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Randeep Hooda, unfortunately, have not contributed to the vocals of this album. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The <i>Kick</i> soundtrack opens with duo Mika Singh and Palak Mucchal's <b><i>Jumme Ki Raat</i></b>. This is exactly the type of song we would usually see Mika Singh in. Himesh seems to be sticking to these desi folk compositions, like Humshakal's <i>Khol De Dil Ki Khidi</i>, also sung by Mika Singh. However, Reshammiya definitely improves on this song injecting it with more life, and making it sound like a pumped up version on Bodyguard (title track), whistling included. Muchhal's vocals come across as decent, but weak. Sunidhi Chauhan, or a stronger female vocalist would have been the prime selection for this kind of song. The winning instrument is,in fact, the Shennai. <b> <i>Jumme Ki Raat (Version 2) Remix</i></b><i> </i>amps up the drums and base, making the song much more enjoyable than the original. 3/5 & 4/5</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tf14g5jtVAI/U8LjPHi-bqI/AAAAAAAAAH8/88DRn3BH52M/s1600/Untitled.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="Salman Khan and Jacqueline Fernandez, Kick Argument Fight I just came to have a good time and honestly im feeling so attacked, bollywood meme, funny" border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tf14g5jtVAI/U8LjPHi-bqI/AAAAAAAAAH8/88DRn3BH52M/s1600/Untitled.png" height="400" title="Salman Khan and Jacqueline Fernandez, Kick" width="307" /></a><b><i>Jumme Ki Raat (Version 2)</i></b> features Salman Khan and Palak Muchhal as the vocalists. It is exactly the same as the original version of Jumme Ki Raat. Sadly, Salman Khan does not excel above Mika Singh here. He seems a bit pitchy, almost screaming the lyrics and unable to reach the heights that Singh took it to. <b><i>Jumme Ki Raat (Version 1) Remix</i></b> also the same as the Mika Singh's remix version, instead featuring Salman Khan. 3/5 & 3.5/5</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Salman Khan is able to redeem himself in <i>Kick </i>with the duet <b><i>Hangover</i></b> . The song is surprisingly mellow for the title, Hangover. Shreya Ghoshal and Salman Khan's voices melt into one another in Meet Bros Anjann composition. This <i>Kick</i> song is multidimensional as this starts as a high class track with the violins preceding Khan's voice, and evolves into an R&B style song as they repeat "Hangover". Perhaps, Hangover, was not the best word choice, as it detracts from the quality from the song, but as in Meet Bros Anjann style they do title this Hindi song with a English word. Thankfully, it wasn't anything like Pink Lips, Pinky or Baby Doll. Something in Hindi seems to be the better choice for <i>Kick</i>, but somehow this track doesn't disappoint too much. 3.5/5 </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
<b><i>Hangover (Remix) </i></b>keeps Salman Khan and Shreya Ghoshal, but adds an additional, and arguably unnecessary layer of beat to the song, detracting from the orginial beauty of the song. 3/5</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/SuZJan9EnDg?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Hangover Promo Video</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
The Hangover is redone in <b><i>Hangover (MBA Swag)</i></b>. This version is the kind of version you would expect from Hangover combined with Swag. The violins and guitar are stripped from this version and are replaced with EDM fused with Punjabi style Desi Beats. We see the some Hindi rapping from the Meet Bros Anjann additionally. This song does detract from Salman Khan's original, and tends to work on the nerves after some time. 3.5/5</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><b>Tu Hi Tu</b></i> is the second romance song in <i>Kick</i>, featuring rising singer, Mohammad Irfan. Irfan has been up an around the scene, making his territory with Banjaara from Ek Villain. His vocals are just as impressive as his previous songs. Light and airy, he sings this song solo, reaching incredible highs and lows with his voice. This song has a light tone, beginning with piano, and having light guitar and violins later on. Extremely tasteful. 4/5</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
However, the downside of this song has six versions that I will pay little attention to. So the <b><i>Tu Hi Tu (Version 1)</i></b> also by Mohammad Irfan, kicks off with a rap and then a reggae, and R&B beat. No. 2/5</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Neeti Mohan also has her own version, <b><i>Tu Hi Tu (Reprise)</i></b> and <i><b>Tu Hi Tu (House Mix</b></i>). Her reprise version is identical Mohammad Irfan's version and is on par with his vocals. The House Mix takes an EDM reggae twist, that is not at all feasible for this type of romantic song, and uses words like "Grind on Him" and "Shine on Him". 4/5 & 2/5</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-De43FR8wlBQ/U8LjOxJNquI/AAAAAAAAAH4/XNfOIOvNrYA/s1600/IMG_20140713_033334+(1).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Salman Khan Superhero Kick Mask Black Bollywood Meme Funny" border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-De43FR8wlBQ/U8LjOxJNquI/AAAAAAAAAH4/XNfOIOvNrYA/s1600/IMG_20140713_033334+(1).jpg" height="203" title="Salman Khan in Kick" width="320" /></a>The third set of versions of Tu Hi Tu are done by Salman Khan, in <b><i>Tu Hi Tu 2 (Version 2)</i></b> and <b><i>Tu Hi Tu (Version 2) Remix</i></b>. This song doesn't match to Mohammad Irfan's version, but isn't horrible either. Khan's voice sounds a little raspy here and isn't as smooth as Irfan's original vocals. This fortieth Kick remix the same as Mohan's remix and just as bad. 3/5 & 2/5</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><i>Yaar Na Miley</i></b> featuring Yo Yo Honey Singh and Jasmine, is surprisingly the only song that isn't remixed on the <i>Kick</i> soundtrack. This is supposedly the item number of the soundtrack, with Nargis Fakri as the main dancer, which is pretty much all she is good for at this point in her career. This EDM song is a little bland, and offers nothing we haven't heard before. Lyrically, like all item numbers, the item girl is boasting how great she is. Yo Yo Honey Singh's rap is the only bright part of this soundtrack, however he is only it in for a little bit of time. 3.5/5</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In the end, Himesh Reshammiya outdoes himself in the Kick soundtrack. Despite the album being weighed down with multiple remixes, this Hindi soundtrack is able to come out as a winner. The soundtrack will definitely help promote the soundtrack, but according to history a Salman Khan movie can't be a failure during Eid. </div>

The mature stance which<i> My Brother…Nikhil</i> and <i>Fashion</i> occupied, starkly contrasts <i>Girlfriend </i>[2004]. This film shines the spotlight on lesbianism and has one of the leading ladies, Isha Koppikar, playing the role of a lesbian. The movie represents Koppikar as an insane, violent lesbian fueled by her jealousy towards the male who has suddenly whisked away the woman she lusts after, Amrita Arora. The ground of this movie is shaky. Koppikar’s reason for despising men is a result of her father’s physical abuse on her mother.<br />
<br />
Even though Koppikar and Arora’s relationship is blatantly homosexual in nature, Arora seems totally unaware of this. During her explanation to her boyfriend, Aashish Chaudhary, Arora innocently explains that she is not considered a lesbian, because alcohol impaired her judgment the night she had intimate relations with Koppikar. Her boyfriend readily accepts this explanation as legitimate. As her aggression towards men soars, Koppikar becomes more mannish. She cuts her hair into a short boy cut, stereotypical to lesbians, and dresses more boyish. Her unstable mental balance and her attachment to Arora, causes her to attack and eventually try to kill Chaudhary. <i>Girlfriend i</i>naccurately illustrates lesbians as women possessing masculine traits in its unhinged plot. It makes no attempt to sensibly approach lesbianism, but just offers to entertainment to the audiences with a bizarre story-line.<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 32px; text-indent: 0.5in;"> </span><br />

Another entertainer of recent times, <i>Dostana </i>[2008], pokes fun at homosexuality by exaggerating the feminine qualities of gay men. This big budget film focuses on the two leading men, Abhishek Bachchan and John Abraham, who pretend to be gay to rent an rooms in an apartment with their mutual love interest, Priyanka Chopra. As straight men in the movie and real life, Bachchan and Abraham’s representation of homosexual males is over the top. Their girlish behavior in the scene where Bachchan and Abraham explain how they met has the ability to offend the gay community repeatedly.<br />
<br />
Stereotypes are stressed with in this scene. When they meet, Bachchan is seen a flamboyant outfit topped with a rainbow scarf and Abraham is dressed with a see through shirt accessorized with a spiked collar. There are sailor outfits, flowers, and joyous skipping in the later moments of the scene. True gay characters also exist in this film, but these characters are extremely feminine as well. Tarun Mansukhani, the director of <i>Dostana</i>, says “ ‘If you scream from the rooftops in favour of gay issues, it will not work. Give it some time. Let us begin by having some fun with it.The time will come when the nation would open up and we'd see their true and sensitive representation in commercial cinema.’”.<br />

<br />
By experimenting with homosexuality and humor in his film, Manusukhani is softening the Indian audiences to the representation of homosexuality in Bollywood film. In the future, this could give other filmmakers a chance to explore homosexuality as a central plot, perhaps more thoughtfully, like <i>My Brother…Nikhil</i>. Nevertheless, the fact a mainstream, blockbuster movie possesses principal, seemingly gay characters is confirmation that India is becoming more receptive of movies that represent different sexual orientations.<br />

<i>Hate Story 2</i> is another Bhatt sequel that is trying to stay afloat in Bollywood. As with<i> Murder </i>and <i>Raaz</i> the Bhatt's achieve at selling their films with superb music and sexuality. What separates the Hate Story series from the other Bhatt movies is that the first<i>Hate Story</i> did not have a good soundtrack and the film did not offer even one well known actor or actress. Starring in this movie is Punjabi/Tamil/Telegu Surveen Chawla and Jay Bhanushali, relatively unknown to Hindi cinema. However, the music of<i> Hate Story 2</i> has been sending waves across India before its release. Boasting multiple music directors, like the famous Mithoon and Meet Bros Anjjan, <i>Hate Story 2's</i> album stands among the hit Bhatt soundtracks.<br />
<br />
Hate Story 2's soundtrack starts of strongly <i><b>Aaj Phir Tumpe Pyaar Aaya Hai</b></i>. If you are young enough to remember the 1988 film, <i>Dayavan</i>, starring Madhuri Dixit and Vinod Khan, this song should register with you immediately, as it is a remake. This remake of Laximikant-Pyarelal's song featuring Pankaj Udhas and Anuradha Paduwal has been replaced and refined by Arjit Singh and Samira Koppikar. This Arko Pravo Mukerjee composition refines, slows and increases the sensuality of the original. Overall an improvement over the original, but nevertheless a remake. 4/5<br />
<br />

The remix detracts from the overall tone of the song and makes it into something unnecessary. 2.5/5<br />
<br />
The next song <i><b>Pink Lips</b></i> is definitely the item number of the soundtrack. The club number composed by the Meet Bros Anjjan and sung by Khushboo Grewal definitely separates itself from the item numbers of these days. They have even roped in ex-pornography star Sunny Leone as the featured dancer for this song. Immediately catchy this song should be something memorable both off screen and on screen. Pink Lips the special Meet Bros Anjjan mark on it. 4.5/5<br />
<br />
The <b><i>Pink Lips (Remix)</i></b> unlike the Aaj Phir Tumpe Remix this remix does take the song to different levels. Since it is an item club number the extra layer of added beats without the involvement of English lyrics puts the remix above the level of the original song. This is the club version of the more tame original. 5/5<br />
<br />
<i>Hate Story 2</i> gives us <i style="font-weight: bold;">Kabhi Aayine Pe </i>sung the famous K.K who gave the Bhatt's some of their their early hits, like for <i>Tu Hi Meri Shab Hai</i>. We see composer Rashid Khan put K.K back in his comfort zone with Kabhi Aaiyne Pe, but this song does nothing to really change the pace of his usual songs. This slow ballad is, of course. beautiful, but so common with K.K that its not very special. 3.5/5<br />

Actually for every song there is a remix. We are given<i style="font-weight: bold;"> Kabhi Aaiyne Pe (remix). </i> This remix takes away from the romantic, ballad feel of the song. Nothing special, but a faster more techno version of the original. 3/5<br />
<br />
<b><i>Hai Dil Ye Mera</i></b> brings in composer, Mithoon's and his new favorite singer Arjit Singh. This is by far the most romantic song in <i>Hate Story 2</i>. We can see this one perfectly blending in with the <i>Ek Villain</i> or <i>Aashiqui 2</i>. This soft, mellow song brings the pain through Singh's voice. Though it is a very pleasant listen, we don't see Mithoon leave his comfort zone either. He is playing safe with piano and Arjit Singh. 4/5<br />
<br />
<b><i>Hai Dil Ye Mera (remix)</i></b> offers nothing pleasant, like most of <i>Hate Story 2</i> remixes. This is probably more of the more useless remixes on the album. Unnecessary once again. 3/5<br />
<br />
In the end, the <i>Hate Story 2</i> soundtrack is very enjoyable. Being a collaboration of many accomplished music directors and singers, the songs of <i>Hate Story 2 </i>come across as melodious and varied. This is the standard Bhatt soundtrack and will definitely attract Bhatt fans. Besides the one good remix, the fact that half the soundtrack was remixes is highly unnecessary.<br />

<b>Music Composer: A.R Rahman</b></div>
<br />
Expectations have always been set very high for A.R Rahman music. Unfortunately, we have not seen much of Rahman's compositions as of recently. A.R last produced <i>Raanjhanaa </i>in 2013, and earlier this year <i>Highway</i> in Bollywood. After the <i>Slumdog Millionaire</i> success, A.R has diverted his attention away from Hindi and Tamil cinema and onto Hollywood. Just last month he composed the music for <i>Million Dollar Arm</i>, where we see <i>Mad Men</i>'s John Hamm's journey to India to recruit India's finest cricket players for baseball. Needless to say, all the movies mentioned here, regardless of cinema, have been all spectacular.<br />

It is not unusual for Rahman to compose for a smaller movie like, <i>Lekar Hum Deewana Dil</i>, because these are just the kinds of small ventures Rahman would usually do. In<i> Lekar Hum Deewana Dil</i>, we see newcomer and supposed grandson of Raj Kapoor, Armaan Jain, merge with Bollywood first timer, semi-seasoned Tamil/Telegu actress, Deeksha Seth, in yet another Bollywood film on the joys of young romance. Basically, this is a soundtrack around the likes of<i> Jaane Tu...Ya Jaane Na</i>. Coincidentally or not, <i>Lekar Hum Deewana Dil</i>'s soundtrack, like <i>Jaane Tu...</i><i>Ya Jaane Na</i>'s has a song as its namesake, this time from Yaadon Ki Baraat.<br />

<i>Lekar Hum Deewana Dil </i>begins with <i style="font-weight: bold;">Khalifa </i>featuring A.R Rahman, Shweta Pandit, and Suzanne D'Mello. A.R Rahman definitely draws some influence from M.I.A's portions from <i>Oh Saya</i> from <i>Slumdog Millionaire.</i> This song, however, takes a unconventional, but interesting techno/electronica vibe fused with a middle eastern beat. Rahman's portions and music compositions are on point here as usual, but if I had to name one the downfall of this song would be the contribution of the two female vocalists which are utterly unnecessary. 4/5<br />
<br />
The second track on the album, <b><i>Maloom</i></b>, one of least memorable songs in <i>Lekar Hum Deewana Dil</i>. This song again feature A.R Rahman, but with Hriday Gatani and Jonita Gandhi. This song has a careless feel is enhanced with light instrumentals like guitar and whistling. Lyrically beautiful and musically simple, this song takes a different route from Khalifa. This is exactly what you would expect to see from a movie like Lekar <i>Hum Deewana Dil</i>. The song does take a slightly annoying quality when an over eager female voice, probably Jonita Gandhi, intrudes. Though is one of the most refreshing songs on the album. 4/5<br />
<br />
Pakistani vocalist, Shiraz Uppal vocalizes <i style="font-weight: bold;">Ala Hada. </i>This song has a light airy feel like Maloom, but manages to uplift more. This is quite reminiscent of <i>Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na</i>'s muisc, especially with the guitar, but separates itself into a song with more refined taste. We hear smoother instrumentals like violin and chimes throughout this song, to further blend into the soft tones of Uppal . 3.5/5<br />
<br />
One could only guess what kind of song <i><b>Mawali Qawwali</b></i> is by the name, but even if you did you would be wrong. Yes, Deeksha Seth is the dancer in Mawali Qawwali. This song by Raghav Mathur and Tanvi Shah is one of the most annoying songs I have heard in a long time. If the first couple seconds don't turn you off initially some banjo mixed with annoying voices with grate at your insides and irritate you to no end. Please don't bother with this one. Too much going on. 1/5<br />

<i><b>Beqasoor</b></i> is <i>Lekar Hum Deewana Dil</i>'s only slow romantic duet, skillfully crooned by Nakash Aziz and Sheweta Pandit. There is not really much going in terms of piano instrumentals, all the changes of pace in the two vocalists voice. 3.5/5<br />
<br />
When you click on a song titled <i><b>Tu Shining</b></i>, you already know its going know its not going to be. This song is heavily populated with English words, sung annoyingly by Hriday Ghattani. This song starts ok, but as it picks up the pace it gets inversely irratating. Not as bad a Malwali Qawwali, but still not good. I only wonder what Rahman was thinking for this one. 3/5<br />
<br />
In the end, <i>Lekar Hum Deewana Dil</i>'s soundtrack does not live up to A.R Rahman's usual hype. Take the few good songs and leave the horrible songs here. Some songs still have the Rahman magic, but the others definitely do not.<br />
<br />
<b>My Picks: Maloom, Ala Hada, Khalifa, Beqasoor </b><br />

Any Bhatt involvement in any <span style="color: #6aa84f;">Bollywood</span> film usually indicates a fantastic musical score, and such is the case for <i>CityLights</i>. Produced by Mukesh Bhatt, under the Vishesh banner this film carries serious weight in the industry when it comes to musical content and film content. Bengali <span style="color: #6aa84f;">music</span> producer, Jeet Ganguli reemerges from the woodwork as he toggles between Bengali and Hindi Cinema. His last two Hindi cinema ventures, <i>Raaz 3</i> and<i> Youngistan</i>, were widely popular. Boasting experienced singers like Ustad Rashid Khan and Usha Utup with younger newcomers like Arjit Singh and Neeti Mohan, this <i>CityLights</i> fuses both of the best worlds.<br />
<br />
<i>CityLights</i> begins with <b><i>Muskurane</i></b> by Arjit Singh. This song captures the romantic yearning reminiscent of <i>Raaz 3</i>. Lyrically and musically, this song follows the somber trepidation of most Bhatt film <span style="color: #6aa84f;">music</span>, but is different from its predecessors with the special Ganguli touch.The angst of Singh's vocals are smoothed elegantly with a touch of piano and guitar 5/5.<br />
<br />
Later in the album, we have a second rendition, <b><i>Muskurane (unplugged)</i></b> by Mohammad Irfan. Mohammad Irfan is a rising star in Bollywood, he was seen most recently singing for the Bollywood film <i>Ek Villain</i>, which I address in my <a href="http://bollywoodbegum.blogspot.com/2014/06/ek-villain-music-review.html"><b>music review</b></a>. This slows the tempo down more than Arjit Sigh's version, bearing a lighter piano sound mixed with violins. Even though slightly different, this song is better than Singh's version. 4/5<br />

<b><i>Darbadar</i></b> by Neeti Mohan is a haunting song obviously set in the cityscape that manages to keep the somber trend of the album. Mohan's voice has the tone to masterfully capture a feeling of wandering and loneliness that is expressed throughout <i>CityLights</i>. Again, a rich piano sound and deep emotions adds to the quality of the song. 5/5<br />
<br />
Arjit Singh returns once again to <i>CityLights</i> with <i style="font-weight: bold;">Ek Charraiya</i>, and this is not the last we see of him. Hitting higher notes than he did with Muskurane, this <span style="color: #6aa84f;">song</span> is a little more folksy than the first two on the album. Ganguli, I'm sure, has made sure that this captures the essence of Bengali folk <span style="color: #6aa84f;">songs</span> with the slow beat. This is definitely one of the more optimistic songs on this album, however refined the happiness is kept. Despite the differentiation with Bengali folk, this song doesn't really offer too much. Decent. 3.5/5<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Unsurprisingly, <b><i>Ek Charraiya (unplugged)</i></b> follows with Ganguli himself behind the microphone. This <span style="color: #38761d;">song</span> is nearly identical to the first version and is not really as unplugged as it says it is.It depends on personal preference, which singer you choose, Jeet Ganguli or Arjit Singh. Ganguli's voice seems to be more suited, this time, to his own composition. 4/5<br />
<br />
Arjit Singh has his third win on <i>CityLights</i> with <b><i>Soney Do</i></b>. Although this song works to only add to the slow pace the album has set, it intrinsically has its own personal <span style="color: #6aa84f;">music</span> quality compared to the other. The alaps that Singh does towards the ends of the song add value to this song. Although, it can be more seen as a song to move the film along, it does have its own place, content wise on the album. It has rich instrumentals like the songs before it. 3.5/5<br />
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UE3j3G0etzw/U6ZELQpjHGI/AAAAAAAAADY/kpiQuG5E1XQ/s1600/IMG_20140621_101830.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Raj Kumar Yadav and Patralekha and Child, Bollywood Meme" border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UE3j3G0etzw/U6ZELQpjHGI/AAAAAAAAADY/kpiQuG5E1XQ/s1600/IMG_20140621_101830.jpg" height="160" title="Raj Kumar Yadav and Patralekha and Child " width="320" /></a><br />
The album ends with an upbeat <b><i>CityLights(Title Song) </i></b>that deviates from the rest of the album . Ustad Rashid Khan piece starts beautifully as it is classical against electric guitar. This song gets tarnished quickly, when Usha Utup, who bears a voice bordering on masculine enters the song. Think back to the title song of Hare Rama Hare Krishna in the seventies. She has the hook of the song, unfortunately, and presides over a majority of the song, thus bringing it down with her. Despite all against it, this song is still decent. 3/5<br />
<br />
Jeet Ganguli is able to bring the <span style="color: #6aa84f;">music</span> of <i>CityLights</i> to the heights of Bhatt soundtracks. The music of this film surpasses many of the current albums that are out in Bollywood at the moment with <span style="color: #6aa84f;">songs</span> that are rich in both musical and lyrical content. Expect this soundtrack to create wave throughout Bollywood.<br />

<b>Music Composer: Himesh Reshammiya </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Similar revolting soundtracks like <i>Humshakals</i> were once heard from our composer Himesh Reshammiya when he went off the deep end in the mid 2000's. He practically sung every song and starred in many flop films. Although recently he somewhat has had success with his film <i>The Expose</i>, Reshammiya seems to be trying too hard again. At least he is not dominating this whole soundtrack. In Bollywood, excluding Salman Khan Ajay Devgan, or Akshay Kumar films, music for comedies are not held to a standard of any regular soundtrack due to the fact that they are usually ridiculous. With an experienced composer with tons of hits and successes like Reshammiya and mid-grade actors like Saif Ali Khan and Ritesh Deskmukh, the bar for <i>Humshakals</i> is very low.<br />
<br />
The<i> Humshakals</i> album begins its continuous up tempo soundtrack with <b><i>Caller Tune</i></b> by Neeraj Sridhar and Neeti Mohan. This duet is obviously influenced by Reggaeton songs which attributes for its catchy beat. It is heavy with English phases with forced rhymes like tune and moon and random violins. However, Mohan and Sridhar are perfect for this song. The hook "Caller Tune Baby" simultaneously annoys and snags. This is the kind of a song a listener would love to hate. By far the best song on the album. 4/5<br />
<br />
Surprise surprise, there is an item number in <i>Humshakals</i>. With the item number queen, Bipasha Basu starring we hear phrases like Billo Rani in <b><i>Piya Ke Bazaar Mein.</i></b> It is not the traditional item song, but it is not unordinary. Palak Muchhal's voice is a little timid for this three woman item number, and Reshammiya's weak voice doesn't add much to it either. A little folksy and not very catchy, this item number will not please the masses. 3/5<br />

<b><i>Just Look Into My Eyes</i></b> gives Humshakals a peppy upbeat feel. Ash King and Neeti Mohan are the perfect choice infuse youth into this album. Perhaps the lyrics a little basic, but if you don't pay attention to exactly what they are saying and listen to the electropop beat, it is not too bad. Although verging on a cheesy teen song, this is levels above the other songs on the album, and does not fit in at all in terms of melody. 4/5<br />
<br />
<b><i>Barbaad Raat</i></b> combines the female vocalists, Shalmali Kholgade and Sanam Puri in this R&B Hip Hop number. Following the trend of the other songs, this one also uses English in pieces. The clapping and trumpets add an interesting twist, but the "Ooo woaao' pieces don't really do much to really hook you fully to the song. 3.5/5<br />

I'm sure everyone was wondering where Himesh Reshammiya's solo song was coming in <i>Humshakals</i>. It is humorously titled <b>Hum Pagal Nahin Hai</b>, and can be taken with dual meaning. Wondering if Reshammiya thinks he's crazy or as shown on silver screen. We see rather interesting rhymes again, such as Obama and DeGama. This song isn't as headache inducing as the ones before it, but is pretty boring and becomes nasal towards the end. 3/5<br />
<br />
What would a comedy soundtrack be without Mika Singh? Mika pairs teams up with Palak Muchhal for <b><i>Khol De Dil Ki Khid</i></b><i><b>i</b></i> which somehow manages to fuse a Punjabi rhythm with an exasperating country banjo. This song annoys is unforgivable ways that the Caller Tune didn't have. There are so many things going on in this song it is hard to pinpoint what is really happening. This song will, of course, add to the comedy of the movie but it is annoying for the listener to listen for their own enjoyment. 3/5<br />
<br />
In the end, <i>Humshakals</i> offers a lively, yet irritating music. This soundtrack somehow manages to exceed expectations, slightly. It is a pretty good effort on Reshammiya's part, although the songs in which his vocals are incorporated in are by far the worst.<br />
<br />
<b>My Picks: Caller Tune, Just Look Into My Eyes</b><br />

Mithoon has been composing hit after hit for the <span style="color: #6aa84f;">Bollywood</span> film industry and he returns once again alongside Akit Tiwari for romantic thriller <i>Ek Villain</i>. The last time Mithoon paired with film director, Mohit Suri, was during the extremely successful album, <i>Aashiqui 2</i>. The <span style="color: #6aa84f;">music </span>of <i>Ek Villain</i> is packed with just the melody and emotion that you would expect from a Suri film.<br />
<br />
The album kicks off with the romantic number, <b><i>Galliyan</i></b>, sung solely by Ankit Tiwari, vocalist of the popular Sun Raha Hai from <i>Aashiqui 2</i>. Galliyan starts a little harshly with coarse guitar and then simmers down to a softer tone. Flute instrumentals melt magically with violin. Tiwari's vocals are slow and controlled as usual. 4/5<br />
<br />
<b><i>Galliyan (unplugged)</i></b> takes a more somber tone. It offers none of the grit Tiwari's Galliyan had and takes a route with just soft guitar and violin. The actress now singer Shraddha Kapoor starts the songs off with hauntingly beautiful vocals, and about three quarters of the way, Ankit Tiwari joins in, keeping on same vocal level as Kapoor. However, the unplugged version of Galliyan really hits its peak when the two sing in unison. Unlike most unplugged version <span style="color: #6aa84f;">songs</span>, this song offers a totally different experience. 4/5<br />
<br />

Mohammad Irfan's solo, <b><i>Banjaara</i></b>, takes a slow melodious, Sufi-esque journey. This particular song comes closer to your heart the most it listens to you. There is a subtle loveliness in the instrumentals, and Irfan's voice takes the right path. There is beauty in simplicity in this song, 4.5/5<br />

Unlike it's predecessors, <i>Zaroorat</i> instills more pain and anger. Complex guitar amplifies his voice and takes the song to new heights. Mithoon is able to differentiate this song by complimenting Zahid's voice with unique dramatic instrumentals. 4.5/5<br />
<br />
Continuing with <i>Ek Villain's</i> Pakistani <span style="color: #6aa84f;">music</span> trend is Soch The Band's, <b style="font-style: italic;">Awari. </b>The talent is no less than the usual artists coming in the industry. What separates Soch from the other Pakistani bands is its instrumental versatility. Joining Soch is the the female vocalist, Momina Mustesan. This song begins with staggered piano, which slowly mixes with Mustesan's ghostly vocals. The song dynamically transforms from a somber song into something more powerful with both guitar and sitar and Adnan Dhool of Soch's vocals. This is by far the most unique song on the album. 5/5<br />

Arjit Singh offers something special in the emotional, <b><i>Humdard</i></b>. This song lyrically reaches into the trenches of romantic pain. Just like Galliyan, this song is controlled and slow, but doesn't offer has much complexity as the<span style="color: #6aa84f;"> songs </span>before it, except for the strange xylophone instruments that falls at intervals in between the vocals. Besides the vocal quality, this song too relaxed, and thus becomes almost boring. 3/5<br />
<br />
All in all,<i> Ek Villain </i>delivers exactly what you would expect from a Mithoon and Ankit Tiwari soundtrack. With an array instrumentals and skilled talent from India and Pakistan, these composers were able to create an emotional, high quality <span style="color: #6aa84f;">musical</span> score. We can only hope to see Mithoon and Ankit Tiwari collaborate with Mohit Suri in the future.<br />

<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-UWpvrBec2sM/Uf7XWocXj_I/AAAAAAAAAZk/qZIAiiVJBiw/s1600/johnny+leevr+.jpg.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-UWpvrBec2sM/Uf7XWocXj_I/AAAAAAAAAZk/qZIAiiVJBiw/s320/johnny+leevr+.jpg.png" height="320" width="199" /></a>A skewed onscreen
representation of homosexuals has been recurrent in both old and new Bollywood
films. Older cinema’s treatment of these forms is harsher, since they likely
will demean these forms of sexuality for their own purposes. Although not thoughtfully done, the
fact that <i>Murder 2</i> did not implement
transvestites as an element of comedy points to a more developed handling of
different sexualities. Other films have been increasingly shedding light on the
struggles that homosexual men and women are currently facing in India. <br />
<br />
In the past, the
main purpose of any scene featuring transvestites was primarily comedy. Transvestites
maintain open sexual expression in movies and are allowed more explicit
dialogue than any other character. Donned in garish outfits, they are overly animated
as they outwardly vocalize their desire for men in pitchy voices. Transvestites
are mostly utilized in tense scenes.. In <i>Anjaam</i>[1994], Johnny
Lever performs the role of a transvestite to provide comic relief. This movie
revolves around Madhuri Dixit who is taking revenge on a man and all those who
aided him in the destruction of her family. Among this madness, Lever, the capricious
leader of two other transvestites, is seen onscreen committing petty crimes and
flirting with male police officers to dodge jail time. Lever and his crew are
able relieve much of pressure from the terrible the series of deaths occurring by
bursting in with their amusing stunts.<br />
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-cbFhazF2hrc/Uf7WYty03tI/AAAAAAAAAZQ/aQjaQFkQdyk/s1600/johnny+leevr+.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-cbFhazF2hrc/Uf7WYty03tI/AAAAAAAAAZQ/aQjaQFkQdyk/s320/johnny+leevr+.jpg" height="320" width="252" /></a><br />
Homosexuality in its pure form, without the shelter
of transvestites, is a touchier subject to the Indian audience. Nevertheless, Bollywood
has been slowly opening up to the gay community in their films with both a
mature and immature views. While treatment concerning transvestites is almost
always insensitive, films concerning homosexuality alone are sometimes handled
with more caution. Films like, <i>My
Brother…Nikhil</i> [2005] and <i>Fashion </i>[2008],
break away from the stereotypes from the gay community with hard hitting,
meaningful messages. <i>My Brother...Nikhil</i>
addresses the topic of AIDS in the gay community. Sanjay Suri and Purab Kohli
play the roles of the gay couple, but Suri is the one that contracts HIV.
Suri’s homosexuality and disease makes his familiy shun him and throw him out
of their home. He is also kicked off of the swimming team because of the
illness. This film focuses intelligently on the issue of AIDS in the gay
community.<br />

Priyanka Chopra, Kangna Ranaut, and Mugdha Godse. Godse has a marriage arrangement with Samir
Soni, a closeted gay man. As an older unmarried man, Soni begins to face
skepticism about his sexual orientation. He attempts to dispel these rumors
with his marriage to Godse. Although Godse and Soni’s story is a subplot, it
still is critical of the rejection of homosexuals in Indian community.<br />

<i>Shuddh Desi Romance</i> is a very interesting soundtrack to say the least. Quirky and fun, these are pleasant desi tunes that play wonderfully with the ears. We dance between high and low, creating a wonderful fusion between old school and new school Bollywood. <i>Shuddh Desi Romance</i> soundtrack bears a resemblance to the soundtrack format of <a href="http://bollywoodbegum.blogspot.com/2013/08/music-director-shantanu-moitra-starring.html">Madras Cafe</a>, since a large portion of the soundtrack in devoted to instrumentals. This Yash Raj film has plenty of acclaimed singers to pump this soundtrack up with unconventional sounds for the youth.<br />
<br />
Beginning the soundtrack is the much anticipated, <i><b>Tere Mere Beech Mein,</b></i> which is already loved by everyone since the release of its cutesy promo video, which has the young couple doing laundry, cooking, and dancing in towels. This is the sweet romantic duet in the movie and its between our favorite Chauhans (who bear no relation to each other) Sunidhi Chauhan and Mohit Chauhan. It is so desi, especially with its Hinglish and old school Western instrumentals. Typical girl and boy banter throughout gives the song a unique perspective. Its sounds like happier song from the Barfi soundtrack. 4.5/5<br />

<div style="text-align: right;">
</div>
<b>Gulabi </b><i>Shuddh Desi Romance's</i> paints the soundtrack pink with color. This almost sounds like a dance style number like Dum Dum from <i>Band Baaja Baraat</i>, kind of something made for Ranveer Singh. It has a slight R&B flair combined with a desi flavor. Sung beautifully by slightly autotuned Jigar Suraiya and Priya Suraiya and paired with an wide array of addictive instrumentals, this song is a winner. 5/5<br />
<br />
Divya Kumar, famous from Allah Meherbaan from <i>Ghanchakkar</i>, takes the third song in Shuddh Desi Romance. <b><i>Chanchal Mann Ati Random</i></b>, is truly random. It starts one way and takes a kind of jarring oddish turn. It is eccentric in a good way with the direction it takes. Its part rock, part qawaali, and part of who knows what. Towards the end it looses control in a good way. The songs oddities may throw some listeners off. 3.5/5<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b><i>Shuddh Desi Romance</i></b>, the title song comes next. It is a duet between two of the other current favorites, Benny Dayal and Shalmali Kholgade. This song takes a similar turn that Teri Mere Beech Mein had, except for more harmonium. This title track doesn't play out as a situtational number like most title tracks tend to do and carves out a niche in the soundtrack itself. Its a pleasurable, feel-good song, like the others songs. By using Hinglish and crazy instrumental arrangements, this song is totally unique. 4/5<br />
<br />
Here come the instrumentals. They take some the flavor from the prior songs in <i>Shuddh Desi Romance</i>, but are more subdued. <b><i>Mujhe Kiss Sakte Ho</i></b> take a minimal approach, with a soft touch of piano, guitar, harmonium, and other instrumentals. It is a very gentle sound and could definitely be listened to alone. 4/5<br />
<br />
<b><i>Love in Jaipur</i></b> has some uncredited female singer. It takes on a spicy salsa beat fused with a bit of desi of course. It sounds like the typical traditional women gathering song, but later take a grocery store style slow jazz style. This will definitely excel on the silver screen behind the characters. 3/5<br />
<br />
<i style="font-weight: bold;">Tezz Wala Attraction </i>has some whistling and shares the same breezy flavor our beginning songs had 3/5<br />

<b><i></i></b>
<b><i>Boyfriend Banogey</i></b> is more ballsy than the previous instrumentals. It has coarser beats and shares some of Gulabi's melody. This could definitely be the theme number for our <i>Kai Po Che</i> hero Sushant Singh Rajput. 3/5<br />
<br />
<b><i>Bhanwara Man Bhatake</i></b> has the same flavor, though slightly more traditional, it has brief male singer part, but has no credited singer either. Not much to listen to here. 2/5<br />
<u></u><br />
<u></u>
<i>Shuddh Desi Romance</i> pretty much has all solid numbers, despite most being instrumentals. Sachin-Jigar made a definite effort to compose some unique songs and pulled in inspiration from many different genres. These songs will make you great, and transport you back to early Bollywood and rocket you towards future Bollywood. <i>Shuddh Desi Romance</i> is so tastefully fun it puts a smile on your face without sounding ridiculous or childish.<br />
<br />
<b>My Picks: Gulabi, Teri Mere Beech Mein, Shuddh Desi Romance, Mujse Kiss Sakte Ho</b><br />

The music composers were obviously not serious when they composed songs for <i>Grand Masti</i>. There are only five songs on this comedy's soundtrack, and three of them are barely legitimate songs. For a sequel to such a successful comedy, we certainly expect better. Comedies aren't supposed to have amazingly ethereal soundtracks, but at least something along the lines of<i> Ghanchakkar</i> is expected.<br />

<i>Grand Masti</i> is off to a shaky start with the title track, <i style="font-weight: bold;">Grand Masti </i>featuring and composed by Sanjeev, Darshan. They sing alongside female vocalist, Payal Dev<i style="font-weight: bold;">. </i>The song begins with English rap and flows into Hindi. It begins to get irritating when they say "Grand Masti Grand Masti Pa Pa Pa Pa" over and over again, however the background beat is solid. 2/5<br />
<br />
<b><i>Zulmi Zulmi</i></b> is sung by Mika Singh. This annoying countryish beats are as equally bad as Singh's drunken voice. The lyrics are jarring and the instrumentals are headache inducing. Nothing good here. 2/5<br />
<br />
<b><i>Tu Bhi Mood Hai</i></b> continues with the same kind of trumpet and flute instrumentals the rest of the <i>Grand Masti</i> has. These songs are hard to tell apart from another. This Anand Raj Anand composition is a duet between Wajid Khan and an unaccredited female singer. 3/5<br />

The <i>Zanjeer </i>remake's marketability is off to a rough start with the introduction of the Telegu actor Ram Charan, however Priyanka Chopra will absolutely be the the saving grace when it comes to bringing in the audiences.

<br />
<i>Zanjeer</i> begins with <b><i>Mumbai Ka Hero</i></b> featuring Mika Singh and Talia Benson. This Chitrantan Bhatt<br />
composition the typical roguish hero song that Mika Singh is popular for with bits and pieces of rap and speaking verses tossed in the middle. Its reminiscent of "Udd Udd Dabangg". I'm sure that Talia Benson is responsible for the horrible female rap intrusion in the middle. Here's a lyric from it, "Oh my god is that your gun?!! Can I hold it pleeeease???" This song offers nothing new and certainly nothing listenable. 2/5<br />

The soundtrack continues with the item number <b style="font-style: italic;">Pinky </b>featuring Mamta Sharma and the Meet Bros. This song falls into the Sheila-Munni item number craze. It lacks anything special and almost sounds like a leftover nineties composition. The lyrics are tasteless. [The song picturized on the left] This Meet Bros Anjan Akit composition is a loser. 2/5<br />
<br />
Chitrantan Bhatt composes another song in<i> Zanjeer </i>called <b><i>Lamha Tera Mera</i></b>. This romantic song by Wajhi Farooki and Palak Muchhal separates itself from the soundtrack with its lighthearted upbeat flavor. These two are a great duo and work so well together to create a special, uplifting song. 5/5<br />
<br />
We have another Ankit Bros composition <b><i>Kochey Pathan Ki Zubaan (Qawaali)</i></b>. It contains all the necessary elements of a qawaali and even features Sukhwinder Singh along with Shabaab Sabri and the Meet Bros. It sounds very similar to<i> Agneepath</i> remake's qawaali number, Shah Ka Rutba. However, it is a mediocre composition that had the potential to be so much more 3/5<br />
<br />
<b><i>Kaatilana</i></b> is another item number from <i>Zanjeer</i>, but more retro sounding than the traditional Pinky. Shweta Pandit sings her heart out against the disco beats. This song is situtational could definitely danced at a critical part of the movie and compares to <i>Once Upon A Time in Mumbaai's </i>Parda Hai Parda. 2.5/5<br />

The third item number is <b><i>Shakila Banoo</i></b> exclusively features Shreya Ghoshal. Composer Anand Raj Anand knows how to bring in a unique flavor while blending old school with new school, and urban with rural. Ghoshal's voice is naughty enough to pull off this number. Shakila Banoo is high in spice, bringing in various instruments like the tabla and harmonium and really distinguishes itself from the other two item numbers in <i>Zanjeer.</i> 4/5<br />
<br />
Thankfully, there is only one remix in<i> Zanjeer</i> that is <b><i>Kaatilana M.B.A Club Mix</i></b>. The song is definitely better this time around due to the extra beat that the other version was lacking previously. Who knows what M.B.A stands for here? Hopefully not a degree.3/5<br />
<br />
In the end, the <i>Zanjeer</i> soundtrack is mediocre. The plethora of item numbers overwhelms the soundtrack and lowers its quality as a whole. The composers seem as if they weren't trying to produce anything special and they certainly didn't except for the two outliers below.<br />
<br />
<b>My Picks: Lamha Tera Mera, Shakila Banoo </b><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Starring: John Abraham & Nargis Fakri </b></div>
<br />
Since<i> Madras Cafe</i> is set in the backdrop of the Sri Lankan Civil War of 1990, we expect the music to be serious in nature, but for it to have no heavy romantic element is shocking. The director, Shoojit Sircar, has some real intentions of making this a hard hitting movie, which is why half of <i>Madras Cafe' </i>songs are instrumentals..<br />
<br />
Papon begins <i>Madras Cafe</i> with the mellow number <b><i>Sun Le Re</i></b>. His raw vocals are perfect for the soundtrack and subtle enough for the background instrumentals. This song is highly spiritual in nature, and slightly Sufi-like, as Papon reaches out to god to listen to him. 3/5<br />
<br />
<b><i>Ajnabi</i></b> is sung by Zeb, of Pakistani's famous woman duo Zeb and Haniya. Like the prior song, this one is fresh with fresh emotions, but a tad more mellow, almost like the unplugged version of a song. The flute like instrumentals are a pleasant surprise, along with Zeb's "Da Da Na Na". This song is very unique, and not like any other song made in recent times. Excellent. 5/5<br />

Papon is featured yet again in <i>Madras Cafe</i> in the song <b><i>Khud Se</i></b>. With a steady piano menu, Papon's voice reflects off itself like a mirror, similar to a self-duet. Khud Se keeps with the theme of the other songs, but is a little more rich in melody. He hits high notes, as the melody climbs higher and higher. 3.5/5<br />
<br />
<b><i>Sun Le Re (Reprise)</i></b> is another take on the previous version. The reprise is not at all as subtle as the first time. The instrumentals are hard rock, complete with drums and guitar, exactly the polar opposite of the original. The soundtrack needed something this gritty to bring it back to life. Better than the first version. 3.5/5<br />
<br />
After these four, there comes a string of instrumentals. The first one is <b><i>Madras Cafe Theme</i></b>. Its a lingering doom instrumental. The sound of ominous danger creeps through at first, but towards the middle it gets a little faster, bringing in angry flute and violin instrumentals.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ucTJJaMzXoY/U8FzZr2s5EI/AAAAAAAAAHI/AIlhX4CsXk4/s1600/IMG_20140621_101735.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="John Abraham in Madras Cafe, Bollywood Meme, Funny" border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ucTJJaMzXoY/U8FzZr2s5EI/AAAAAAAAAHI/AIlhX4CsXk4/s1600/IMG_20140621_101735.jpg" height="213" title="John Abraham in Madras Cafe" width="320" /></a></div>
<b><i>Conspiracy</i></b> features the singer Monali Thakur, but she doesn't really sing. Her voice echoes in the background of this song that sounds similar to the theme before it.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: right;">
</div>
<b><i>Entry to Jafna</i></b> follows with theme, staying constant with the stringent tones from <i>Madras Cafe's </i>other instrumentals for its minute duration.<br />
<br />
The <b><i>Title Theme</i></b>, has the to be the best instrumental in the soundtrack bearing the worst name. This one has the highest quality instrumentals and is actually listenable. Compared to the hostility the other instrumentals have, this one grows more tense as the song goes on, until the instrumentals sound as if they have been broken.<br />
<br />
In the end, <i>Madras Cafe</i> is filled with just a little too many instrumental theme music, and doesn't shine enough light on the vocalists. This soundtrack doesn't boast too much, but its good songs are of the highest quality.<br />
<br />
<b>My Picks: Ajnabi, Khud Se, Sun Le Re (Reprise)</b><br />
<b><br /></b>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Starring: Amitabh Bachchan, Kareena, Kapoor, Ajay Devgan, Arjun Rampal</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
I honestly had no idea about <i>Satyagraha</i> till its music release. Its a pleasant surprise to see that this movie has such a huge star cast for a movie which such a meaningful . I'm also pretty excited to know that this is another creation from the Salim-Sulaiman duo, as well as the other talented composers. Since this is a modern political thriller, my expectations are low about the quality of the music. Expect many many situtational numbers.<br />
<br />
The first song on the soundtrack, is the title track, <i><b>Satyagraha, </b></i>a twist on the traditional song, "Raghupati Raghav Rajaram". We can hear various stylistic approaches. At first we hear rock and then the song simmers down into a mellow melody. In the back is a touch of electronica, over the classical singing. Our artists, Rajiv Sundaersan, Shweta Pandit, and Shivam Pathak sound as if they are singing three different songs. This song is interesting approach to a traditional song , but it seems scattered in its initiation . 3.5/5<br />
<br />
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-AqOt63s3fNY/U6b93yZt2AI/AAAAAAAAAD0/TAnDGpG00YQ/s1600/IMG_20140621_102827+(1).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Amitabh Bachchan fasting Satyagraha, Bollywood Meme, funny" border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-AqOt63s3fNY/U6b93yZt2AI/AAAAAAAAAD0/TAnDGpG00YQ/s1600/IMG_20140621_102827+(1).jpg" height="238" title="Amitabh Bachchan fasting Satyagraha" width="320" /></a>It seems these days all music composers are concerned with is producing some kind of techno/electronic music. This second song <b><i>Aiyo Ji</i></b> falls into this craze. Sharda Pandit gracefully croons this number all the way through, and Salim Merchant comes in at intervals to say "Aiyo Ji Aiyo Ji". The beat overpowers this song, as well as Salim Mechant's parts. A calmer beat would have been a better alternative. 3/5<br />
<br />
Salim-Sulaiman steps aside for a little bit, and lets composer Aadesh Srivatava take over for <i style="font-weight: bold;">Raske Bhare Tore Naina</i>. This song saves the <i>Satyagraha </i>with gifted singers, Shafqat Amanat Ali and Arpita. With the delicate vocals and restrained rhythm this song is exactly the beautiful refinement the other two songs were lacking. Complete with pianos and Indian instrumentals, Shafqat Amanat Ali's voice is truly exceptional. With gorgeous classical intrusion from Arpita in unison with the instrumentals, this song is just perfect. 5/5<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: right;">
</div>
<b><i>Janta Rocks</i></b>, let's say unexpected, in <i>Satyagraha.</i> While the other songs are somber and serious in quality, this one is strangely upbeat. The Meet Brothers and Keerthi Sangathia team up for this odd number which stretches for an unbearable seven and half minutes. Weird. 2/5<br />
<br />
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-RljKYy-AZ8Y/U6b9enx-h_I/AAAAAAAAADs/b56hu7H3kWU/s1600/IMG_20140621_103135.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="Bollywood Meme, Funny, Ajay Devgan, Satyagraha" border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-RljKYy-AZ8Y/U6b9enx-h_I/AAAAAAAAADs/b56hu7H3kWU/s1600/IMG_20140621_103135.jpg" height="164" title="Ajay Devgan in Satyagraha" width="320" /></a>Composed by Indian Ocean, <b><i>Hum Bole The</i></b>, is our rally song in our political thriller. Its hard rock, with one of the most interesting guitar arrangements I have heard this year in Bollywood. The singers Rahul Ram, Amit Kalam, and Himanshu sound justly angry and bitter. This song will go well with the political unrest that will be featured in Satyagraha, but it may tend to annoy the listener if listened without the backdrop of the movie. 3/5<br />
<br />
<b><i>Aiyo Ji (Remix)</i></b> takes the whole techo beat further, and makes it little better. It doesn't really change the outcome of the mediocre quality of the song. <b><i>Raske Bhare Tore Naina (House Mix) </i></b>introduces in a techno element as well, taking away from the restrained quality of the first song. The moaning in the beginning doesn't help the case either. 2/5<br />
<br />
In the end <i>Satyagraha</i> doesn't really find its footing off screen The music has the potential to work well along with the film, and it is not definitely up to the Salim-Sulaiman par anyone is used to. The songs escape into the techno realm too often and don't leave a lasting impression.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>My Picks: Rakse Bhare Tore Naina, Satyagraha</b><br />
<b><br /></b>

Similar to the directors of <i>The Dirty Picture</i>, filmmakers like Pooja
Bhatt, and her father, Mahesh Bhatt, have tackled a dark side of sexual desire,
touching on the bodily needs of both hero and the heroine. Pooja and Mahesh
Bhatt try to experiment with the heroine’s sexuality in <i>Jism 2</i> [2012], with the introduction of the Indo-American
pornographic star, Sunny Leone. In <i>Jism 2</i>,
Leone seduces an assassin to retrieve important information for the police. The
assassin and a police officer both play her love interests in this movie. Leone
is able to believably express herself as a strong heroine with her own desires
onscreen, because of her previous work in pornography. <i>Jism 2 </i>creates
aesthetic view of sexuality when new talent combines with the fresh, natural
scenery of Sri Lanka. Stunning cinematography and careful boundaries to prevent
intimate scenes from becoming crude set this film apart from other Bollywood
movies related to this genre. Leone plays a character that is in complete jurisdiction
of her own sexuality and is able to manipulate it in whatever way she wishes. In <i>Jism
2</i>, Leone is able to illustrate the shift to a more mature sexual identity
of Bollywood heroines.<br />

<i>Murder 2</i> [2011],
another Bhatt production, has a more multifaceted view on sexuality. This film
not only addresses escalated carnal cravings, but also focuses transvestites, and
prostitution.. Even though these different sexual elements are explored in
various ways, they end up intertwined with each other in the end. In <i>Murder </i>2, Emraan Hashmi plays a former
cop who is sent to investigate the disappearance of prostitutes in the area. Although
Hashmi and his girlfriend, Jacqueline Fernanadez, engage in a few rounds of sexual
intercourse in the film, he remains emotionally detached from her due to
personal reasons. She, on the other hand, tries desperately to expand their
physical bond with concepts of romantic love.
On the opposing side is Prashant Naryanan, a transvestite who brutally
murders prostitutes. Driven by his uncontrollable physical desire, he decides
to become a eunuch. The manner which <i>Murder
2 </i>presents sexuality on three different platforms is an unusual, but daring
feat for a director. There is a thoughtful depiction of human trafficking, and
an attempt to realistically portray the emotional and carnal needs of men and
women in contemporary relationships. However, the sexuality of the transvestites
is not as tastefully explored as others.
Narayanan is portrayed as a psychotic killer who has deviated from
accepted social norms. Meanwhile, his transvestite friend’s character is
illustrated as crooked and overly dramatic. <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Starring: Arshad Warsi and Akash Chopra</b></div>
<div>
<br />
Salim-Sulaiman are a fabulous duo, creating many famous soundtracks. Its pleasantly surprising to see them come forward for a seemingly small film like<i> Rabba Main Kya Karoon </i>starring newcomer Akash Sharma and Akash Warsi. We expect to see a lot of exciting songs since it revolves around a Dehli wedding.<br />
<br />
<i><b>Khulla Sand </b></i>kicks off <i>Rabba Main Kya Karoon</i> in addictive Punjabi number that morphs into something more techno. Salim Merchant's bubbly vocals enhance this delicious rhythm. The only downside to this song are the brief English interludes. This one could be classified as the just the right Punjabi explosion. 4.5/5<br />
<br />
We see Benny Dayal paired with our new popular female vocalist, Monali Thakur in <b><i>Muh Meetha Kara De</i></b>. This song is along the lines of <i>Race 2'</i>s Lat Lag Gaye, but more so a pop techno hybrid. Thakur barely gets a piece of this song, its Dayal for a majority. Its pretty good, but doesn't have that much of distinguishing factor in the sea of songs. 3.5/5<br />
<br />
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-BkydPwqc2Rs/U8GQD-YpSBI/AAAAAAAAAHo/5c8MhISKOeo/s1600/IMG_20140712_033714.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="Akash Chopra Shirtless Rabba Main Kya Karoon Bollywood Meme Funny" border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-BkydPwqc2Rs/U8GQD-YpSBI/AAAAAAAAAHo/5c8MhISKOeo/s1600/IMG_20140712_033714.jpg" height="190" title="Akash Chopra " width="320" /></a>The third song is the title song <i><b>Rabba Main Kya Karoon</b></i>. This song is sung by a trio of Raj Pandit, Vidhi Sharma, and Benny Dayal. Its very soft and rhythmic featuring light guitar and tabla. Its almost qawaaliesque in instrumentals, like the harmonium at pieces, but doesn't break into a full qawaali. Vidhi Sharma's vocals are refreshing and add a nice twist to the song. This song is truly a pleasant surprise for such a commercial looking album. 4/5<br />
<br />
Our main star, Akash Chopra, displays his vocals in<b><i> Dua</i></b>. This is another good surprise. Its a sad song that materializes into deep rock number. A good effort by Chopra, but his vocals get a little bit too intense at pieces. His raw vocals, however are something to admire. I would really want to see a lot more from this singer in the future. 3.5/5<br />

What is any soundtrack without of Punjabi Prince, Labh Janjua.<b> <i>Bari Barsi</i> </b>is most definitely our Punjabi wedding song for <i>Rabba Main Kya Karoon</i>. It is pumped with just the right components of thrill and dazzle of any wedding Punjabi song. It is not really anything we haven't seen from Janjua, and almost sounds like a leftover from Band Baaja Baraat. 3/5<br />
<br />

Well, a song like <b><i>Brandy</i></b> carries some expectations, especially when "shots" are yelled in the beginning. Sung by Satyadev Singh and Akash Chopra, this is <i>Rabba Main Kya Karoon'</i>s club number. It sounds really irritatingly mocking at parts. 2/5<br />
<br />
Overall, <i>Rabba Main Kya Karoon</i> is a sturdy soundtrack loaded with lots of addictive beats. It has its flaws, and just one below average song.<br />
<br />
<b>My Picks: Rabba Main Kya Karoon, Khulla Sand, Muh Meetha Kara De, Dua</b><br />

/></a>The first <i>Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai</i> had one of the best soundtracks in recent times. Tracks like, Pee Loon and Tum Jo Aaye Zindagi Mein, are hits in recent memory. With Pritam as the composer and a A-List cast <i>Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai Dobara/Again/2 </i>soundtrack has a lot to live up to. For a soundtrack with only four songs, let's hope every song makes an impression.<br />
<br />
The soundtrack begins with <b><i>Yeh Tune Kya Kaha</i></b> featuring Pakistani singer, Javed Bashir. His classical, mature vocals are perfect for this type of number. This song sounds like a good leftover for the first OUATIM and boasts a lot of rich traditional sounds like the tabla and harmonium. This qawaali starts slows and escalates and transforms with rich instrumentals. 4<br />

<b><i>Tayyab Ali </i></b>is another qawaali number in <i>Once Upon A Time in Mumbaai Dobara</i>, this time with Javed Ali. This is a remake of seventies song Tayyab Ali from <i>Amar Akbar Anthony's</i> which featured Rishi Kapoor. This song recreates it into a very desi, quirky drunken sounding number with some English, like "Tell me why" and "Beautiful Baby Baby". After the minute the song kicks into full gear, but its gets boring quickly. Can't see anything new offering in this qawaali, compared to the original except for the childish spin it takes, and richer beats. They could have deviated from the original song in a better way. 3/5<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<b><i>Tu Hi Toh Khwahish </i></b>sounds like an item number from the late seventies/early eighties. Its discoesque theme, mixed with the Middle Eastern beats and Sunidhi Chauhan's rough vocals sounds awkward. This song should have been left in the seventies where it belongs. It sounds like Pritam is trying to do something similar to <i>Once Upon A Time in Mumbaai'</i>s Parda Parda, but Chauhan's panting and interludes that sounds like they jumped out a of a crime thriller make the song sound messy. Too much going on here. Not sure what genre to classify this one. 2/5<br />

Its the only pure romantic number on the soundtrack. This song is pretty, but it doesn't really show us anything drastically new. Shahir Ali Bagga's voice enhances Javed Ali's well. 3.5/5<br />
<br />
In the end only two of the four songs really make an impression. <i>Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai Dobara/Again</i>, doesn't live up to its legacy. It actually fails horribly in comparison to the original <i>Once Upon in Mumbaai's</i> greatness, due to limited volume of four songs. Pritam could have give us more songs, or at least better quality ones.<br />
<br />
<b>My Picks: Yeh Tune Kya Kiya, Chungliyaan</b><br />

<b>Music Director: Jaidev Kumar</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Starring: Dolly Alhuwalia, Vinay Pathak, Ranvir Shorey, Tusshar Kapoor</b></div>

For comedy with Vinay Pathak as the main star, we expect mast filled music. Jaidev Kumar, a relatively new music composer to Bollywood has much to prove with this soundtrack, and he achieves it for the most part. He gathers the Punjabi greats, like RDB and Honey Singh for his tracks in an attempt to create a wonderful soundtrack.<br />
<br />
<i>Bajatey Raho's </i>soundtrack begins with a fast paced number called <b style="font-style: italic;">Nagin Dance. </b>This is the first item number of the soundtrack and it's not too bad. Anmol Malik's voice blends sinfully well with the quick tempo. Nagin Dance almost a contemporary tribute of "Main Teri Dushman" from Sridevi's <i>Nagina</i>. This song featured on the British model Scarlett Wilson, popular from <i>Shanghai's</i> Imported Kamariya, and Iranian-Swedish dancer Maryam Zakariya, has not really created a stir in Bollywood. Nevertheless, it is a unique kind of item number. 4/5<br />
<br />
Our folksy qawwali-eque song, <i><b>Khurafati Ankhiyan</b></i>, sung by Sona Mahapatra has slight retro-seventies undertones with the harmonium. It is quite an interesting composition, but the hook Khurafati Ankhiyan is a bit too cutting for the gentle sounding song. Pretty average, but a good track. 3.5/5<br />
<br />
Honey Singh brings in the comedy to <i>Bajatey Raho</i> with <i style="font-weight: bold;">Khudi Tu Butter</i>.<i style="font-weight: bold;"> </i>Our expectations should be high for a song with such an audacious name, but sadly this song doesn't live up to the hype. This song is Punjabi-electronica synth number. Again, this one is another item number, but its strictly an endless mediocre song. 3/5<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: right;">

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i>I guess the Brits and Swedish also know about the</i><br />
<i>Nagin Dance. That's why these two are featured</i><br />
<i> instead of Indian dancers</i></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
So the theme song is <i><b>Bajatey Raho.</b></i> From the get go this song is a rap, and that's exactly what you can expect from out Punjabi rappers RDB. Manjeet Ral is also featured in the number. If you have heard any RDB previously, when you hear thing you will know this sounds exactly like their other songs. Further ruining this song is an English rap interlude. 2.5/5<br />
<br />
So the remixes and reprises come in. Our first remade song in <i>Bajatey Raho</i> is, <b style="font-style: italic;">Nagin Dance (Remix)</b>. This version just brings in extra beat and dubstep-ish sound in the background. Its a good alternative to the original, and does not upset the composition at all. 4/5<br />
<br />
Then comes <b><i>Khudi Tu Butter (Reprise)</i></b> by Gajendra Verma. This one sound drastically different from the first song. It has a addictive almost magical, electronic beat which sets it apart from the other tracks on the soundtrack. This version of <i>Khudi Tu Butter</i> is extremely catchy both lyrically and musically when compared with Honey Singh's version. How could you resist the lyrics "Silky, chocolate hai milky"? A definite winner and probably the best song on the album. 4.5/5<br />
<br />
Overall, <i>Bajatey Raho's</i> soundtrack isn't disappointing. The stronger songs compensate for the weaker songs. It's hard to resist a song called <i>Khudi Tu Butter</i>. C'mon and give it a try.<br />
<br />
<b><i>My Picks: Khudi Tu Butter (Reprise), Nagin Dance, Nagin Dance (Remix)</i></b><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>Nasha</i>, though not a widely known movie, has been causing waves throughout India with its scandalous posters. We shouldn't expect any less than scandalous from a movie by the director of erotic thriller <i>Jism</i>. Nasha boasts a story quite similar to <i>Ek Choti Si Love Story, </i>where a younger man, Shivam, falls in love with an older woman, Poonam Pandey. Both the actor and actress in Nasha are newcomers, so a fantastic soundtrack might do some good for the movie. Don't be fooled by the pictures, this soundtrack is very sophisticated. </div>
</div>
<br />
The<i> Nasha </i>soundtrack is off to an excellent start with the mellow <b><i>Tera Nasha</i></b> crooned by Anirudh. His vocals are are flawless when paired with the light guitar instrumental. This slow, succulent number stretches beyond six minutes, which makes it seem like its going on forever. Six minutes is a little long, but the song is very good. 4.5/5<br />

The second song on the soundtrack is <b><i>Laila</i></b> by Monali Thakur. We have heard many songs titled Laila in the past, but one slightly sets itself apart from the others. This smooth cabaret style number is somewhere along the lines of Raat from<i> Hate Story</i> or Muskaanien Jhooti from <i>Talaash</i>. This song does have a little hook to it and flows seductively from Thakur's mouth. 4/5<br />
<br />
From its title <b><i>Besharam</i></b> should be a song we should expect from a movie called<i> Nasha</i>. Besharam is a playful duet with the pairing of Shaan and Anusha Mani. Anusha deeper voice balances out Shaan's smooth vocals. This light-hearted romantic songs is complete with harmonica, piano, and whistling, comparable to <i>Gangster's</i> Lamha Lamha. 4/5<br />

<b><i>The Goti Song</i></b> is totally out of place. It begins with "This is the Goti Song" and continues along that line. It is as if someone is talking. I have no idea where this would go in a movie like <i>Nasha</i>. Its funny, but irritating. The singers Akshay Deodhar, Prakriti Kakkar, and Sukriti Kakkar stretch their vocals, but that is not enough to save this song. 1/5<br />
<br />
<b><i>Laila (Unplugged)</i></b> features the male voice of Sangeet-Siddarth, the music directors. With just a simple strumming of the guitar, the music composers create something quite different. It is almost good as the original and sounds drastically different song. 3.5/5<br />
<br />
We have <b><i>Nasha (The Addictive Mix</i></b>), by Sangeet Halidpur, one of the music directors. It brings a slight techno twist to the original, and Haldipur's voice careens with the rhythm perfectly. This is a remix of the first song, Tera Nasha. This one also sounds unrecognizable from the original If you ignore the first couple seconds of the song, this is a great alternative version. 4.5/5<br />
<br />
The <i>Nasha</i> songs are really good for a movie starring newbie actress Poonam Pandey and Shivam. Our Haldipur duo does an excellent job of creating a melodious soundtrack. These songs are a pleasant surprise and also have a value off of the screen. One of the best soundtrack of 2013 so far. Get Intoxicated!<br />
<br />
<b><i>My Picks: Nasha (The Addictive Mix), Tera Nasha, Besharam, Laila, Laila (Unplugged)</i></b><br />

What else can a movie called <i>Luv U Soniyo</i> promise? The soundtrack is kind of a corny joyride, but nevertheless a ride. This soundtrack combines Mexican delights with the Indian beats. Be prepared for disaster!<br />
<br />
<i>Luv U Soniyo </i>starts with one of my favorite singers, K.K, with <b><i>Tumsa Nahin Hai Koi</i></b>. The piano puts a beautiful spin on the song, but this song is really like any empowering romance song. K.K's soft vocals rise almost unbearably when he almost screams "Tums Nahin Hai Koi". Anwesha Sarkar's voice comes in towards the later and softens the song a little. Average. 2.5/5<br />
<br />
<b><i>Pyar Tera</i></b> by Sonu Nigam has a sweet melody complete with piano like the previous song. It almost sounds like it has been pulled out of a nineties soundtrack. There is a corny English part which talks about how great love is. Just no. 2/5<br />
<br />
Pyar Tera is done again in<i> Love U Soniyo</i> in <b><i>Pyar Tera (Unplugged) </i></b>sung again by Sonu Nigam, This one is a definite improvement on the original. The melody is kept nice and pure, but it still sounds nineties. 3/5<br />
<b><i><br /></i></b>
<b><i>Luv U Soniyo</i></b> is our title track by Remo Fernandez. This is where we first see our Mexican flavor. This song captures Mexico in a very annoying way, it almost sounds jarring. We hear phrases and words like, pencil, half a dil, bale bale, bhangra bhangra. This song is trying to do too much, and comes across as irritating 2/5<br />

</tbody></table>
<b><i>Chalo Chalte Hai Mexico </i></b>is another Mexican tinged song sung by our sweet Shaan. This a softer selection, and thankfully sounds nothing like our title track. It comes across as endearing, but the English pieces "Can't you see you belong to me" spoil it. Still one of the better songs. 3/5<br />
<br />
Sunidhi Chauhan, Sonu Nigam, and Joy come together for <b><i>Youre My Valentine. </i></b>If you have a thinking close to mine, you are already cringing at this title. This is the ultimate cheesy number of the soundtrack. Its so contrived and sounds like a thousand other songs. It is a mix of romance,dance, and pure cheesiness, especially when they say "Yo-o-u A-rrr-eee My Val-ent-iiiine". 2/5<br />
<br />
<b><i>Palko Hai Phool</i></b> has the duo of Shreya Ghoshal and Shaan. This song mentions Valentines Day again. From the beat to the lyrics this song is a definite no. Too much half-baked romance. 2.5/5<br />
<br />
<b><i>Love You Soniyo (Mashup) </i></b>is horrible. Most mashup songs never work. Its just an unsatisfying combination of the entire soundtrack. Don't listen. 0/5<br />
<br />
<i>Love You Soniyo </i>has the power to make you cringe at its cheesy romantic songs. The compositions are like leftover compositions of the 90's and early 2000's. Stay away from this one!<br />

</tbody></table>
As vamps dissolved in popular cinema, the lead heroines’ sexual identity was given more space to evolve. The heroine was stuck in between being modest and being sensual. Essentially, she had to be sensual enough to lure the audience in, but not too sensual or she would seem to be an unfit companion for the honorable hero. Zeenat Aman beautifully expresses the duality of modesty and sensuality in her role in <i>Satyam Shivam Sundaram</i> [1978]. Aman is a quiet village girl that although initially rejected by her husband, remains a dutiful wife. As the daughter of a Hindu priest, she is also depicted as a virtuous woman who spends a majority of her time visiting and maintaining a Hindu temple. However, her religious devotion is given dichotomy of both virtue and sensuality. Aman also presents her sexuality in her general appearance. She wears traditional saris, but wears no blouse underneath, leaving her breasts visibly veiled under thin cloth. However, Aman’s religious, obedient wife persona, balances her refined sensuality. This heightened sense of the heroine’s sexuality has been taken further in modern Bollywood movies.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://indiaopines.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/zeenat-aman_5025592_GIFSoup.com_.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="Indian Sexuality Zeenat Aman is Satyam Shivam Sundaram GIF Bollywood Blouse" border="0" src="http://indiaopines.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/zeenat-aman_5025592_GIFSoup.com_.gif" title="Indian Sexuality Zeenat Aman is Satyam Shivam Sundaram" /></a>Compared to modern Bollywood films, Zeenat Aman’s sexuality in<i> Satyam Shivam Sundaram</i> seems subtle. It has been more acceptable for leading ladies to both express their carnal desires very openly. Unlike Aman, they were no longer mainly objects of sexual desire, but possessed a sexual desire of their own. This sexual expression of the heroine has been tactfully addressed in some contemporary films, such as blockbuster<i> The Dirty Picture </i>[2011]. The biopic starring Vidya Balan is inspired by the life of the infamous South Indian sex symbol, Silk Smitha. This audacious poster matched the audacity exhibited in the film itself.<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<br />
The Dirty Picture has dual layers of sexuality. The first layer is her sensual image in her films, and the second layer is her personal relationships with men in the film industry. Balan has romantic relationships with all three men, and intimate relationships with two of the three. She jumps from one brother’s bed to the next, hoping to find love and acceptance. Sexuality both fueled and destroyed Balans’s career in <i>The Dirty Picture</i>. She is in continual pursuit to find her soulmate, but all she receives is lustful men who believe she is like racy image she portrays onscreen. By the time she realizes she loves Hashmi, a man who appreciate her for mind and body, it is too late. Even though this film is not abundant with much vivid sexual imagery, it achieves an intelligent portrayal of the pursuit of love and happiness.<br />

Recent films, like <i>The Dirty Picture</i> and <i>Jism</i>, have been able to express females as not only being an object of desire, but having their own desires and acting upon them. Filmmakers like Mahesh and Pooja Bhatt have included several elements of female sexuality in their films, that will be discussed in my later article. What do you think of Bollywood's evolution of female desire? Do you think that Bollywood is becoming too westernized, or is Bollywood evolving as society becomes more modernized and submits to the changing social norms?<br />

Sexuality always resonated with the vamp in older Bollywood films, rather than the heroine. Since the heroine had limited displays of blatant sexuality, the vamp's purpose was to be the essence of sexuality for the film. However, as females began to posses more sexuality during the 90's and early 2000's, vamps retreated in the back, and there was significant decrease in item numbers. Recently, there has been a reemergence of the vamp in new item numbers and plot lines,when sexual power has been revoked heroine, such as<i> Dabangg </i>and <i>Omkara</i>.<br />
<br />
In older Bollywood films, vamps were typically featured briefly in item numbers where they exposed quite a bit of their bodies while dancing suggestively to upbeat melodies. These dances were performed classically in the nightclub, like “Piya tu Ab to Aaja” from <i>Caravan</i> [1971], or in a rural setting, like “Mehbooba Mehbooba” from <i>Sholay</i> [1975]. So many popular songs have used the vamp’s sexuality as apparatus to distract to the villains. In <i>Sholay</i>, Helen’s racy dance serves as a diversion to Amjad Khan and his circle of bandits. Khan, a very witty criminal, is momentarily diverted from his path of terror as he watches as scantily dressed Helen dances around a fire before him.<br />
<br />
<div>
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://images.jagran.com/pic-2-21-11-2012.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Helen Vamp Caravan Piya Tu Ab To Bollywood Sexuality" border="0" src="http://images.jagran.com/pic-2-21-11-2012.jpg" height="320" title="Helen Vamp Caravan Piya Tu Ab To Bollywood Sexuality" width="256" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Helen in "Piya Tu Ab To Aaja"</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
Additionally, the vamp rarely plays a significant role in the film. If her role goes beyond her appearance in a song, she is portrayed as a brash woman of loose moral. Like Helen and Aruna Irani in<i> Caravan</i>, the vamp will often pose as competition for the heroine or create additional obstacles in the film. There is a clear distinction between the heroines and the the vamp. The dominance of the heroine over vamp is seen in several films. In<i> Caravan</i>, Aruna Irani, the vamp, relentlessly pursues the hero, Jeetendra. In many songs, Irani is seen dancing aggressively in skin exposing clothing to seduce Jeetendra. Despite her efforts and excessive skin show, Jeetendra is more interested Asha Parekh, the demure, modestly dressed heroine.<br />
<br />
<div>
Helen, the other dancer in Caravan, falls into another stereotype of the vamp. Helen is having an affair with the Parekh’s husband, and plans to kill her to steal the family fortune. The beginning of “Piya Tu Ab To Aaja”, features Helen dancing in a short red dress desperately pleading for her lover to come to her. In this particular song, a world of desire is constructed by the suggestive lyrics and male and female panting, paired with Helen’s erotic dancing. Towards the end when Helen’s dress gets caught on a nail, she strips down to a tiny gold sequined top and a mini-skirt with a slit down the side. The closure of the song is especially laden in sexuality when the lights dim and she crouches with a male in a small cage.<br />
<br />
In very recent times, the vamp has reemerged to some extent, after somewhat disappearing in the 90's and early 2000's. Trailer after trailer combines with over-sexualized item numbers, featuring ladies’ whose only purpose is to provide pleasure to the male audience. In these movies, if a woman’s character’s existence is extended beyond the number, her role is along the lines as vamps from older cinema. Songs such as the immensely popular, “Munni Badnaam Hui” from<i> Dabangg</i> [2010], and "Beedi" from <i>Omkara </i>boast women dancing for dozens of drunken men. Parallels can be drawn to these songs and songs from the past dominated by vamps like, “Mehbooba Mehbooba” from<i> Sholay</i> [1975], mentioned earlier. </div>

In <i>Dabangg</i>, Malaika Arora Khan, Munni, performs for the villain and his minions. Similar to a vamp, Khan is seen vigorously shaking her hips and thrusting her chest forward as she mingles among the men. In contrast to Khan, the heroine, Sonakshi Sinha, is minimal in the sensuous thrills she delivers for the male audience. Thus, Sinha is able to attract the hero due to her coy character. Munni’s function in<i> Dabangg</i> is analogous to Helen’s function in <i>Sholay</i>, because they both compensated for the sensuality that the leading ladies did not provide.<br />
<br />
It seems as if some Bollywood movies are going backwards. Item songs may have mass appeal, but Bollywood should be able to revert to the fusion of the heroine with the vamp, and have heroines doing the item number instead of a random actress who are inessential to the film itself. With time, Bollywood may be able to find a proper footing in depicting female sexuality.<br />

What to say about the music of <i>Boyss Toh Boyss Hain</i>? First of all the movie has quite a name, so it certainly needs a soundtrack to back it up. We have a variety of composers here, so each track has its own flavor. <i>Boyss Toh Boyss Hain</i> is exciting and experimental.<br />
<br />
To kick off <i>Boyss Toh Boyss Hai </i>we have the title track, <b><i>Boyss Toh Boyss Hain</i></b>. This Hinglish track is sung by Neeraj Sridhar and Willii. Even though this is a title track, it is actually pretty catchy, especially when the female voice cuts in and says "Hai Ram, Boys Toh Boys Hain". Definitely one of the best on the album. 4/5<br />
<br />
The next song we have is Mika Singh's <i><b>Gol Gol</b></i>. This song is tinged with Punjabi techno. The "Gol Gol" part instantly catchy, but it does have English interludes saying "Shake your Booty", similar the booty shake in Chennai Express',<i> One Two Three Four</i>. <a href="http://bollywoodbegum.blogspot.com/2013/07/chennai-express-music-review.html" target="_blank">Click Here For My Chennai Express: Music Review</a> But besides that booty shake piece, this is a fantastic track with tons of variation 3.5/5<br />
<br />
Our most Punjabi style number is <b><i>Kachha Papad</i></b> features Labh Janjua and Anuj Garg. There is a interesting mix of rock, R&B, and Punjabi here. The guitar solos are wonderful, but besides these short intervals of instrumentals there is nothing to separate this song from other Punjabi numbers. Decent. 3/5<br />
<br />

</tbody></table>
Mohit Chauhan's voice brings a good balance to the <i>Boyss Toh Boyss Hain</i> album in <b><i>Sab Kuch Badal Gaya.</i></b> This song literally begins with all clouds. It is starts of light and airy with a light flute beat, then builds an inspirational sounding romance song. However, it is interrupted by a voice singing in English, Sayanthi-Shailendra. This spoils the song for only momentarily, until violins and sweet pianos come to the rescue. This is a different kind of song, and not something to be ignored. 3.5/5<br />
<br />
<b><i>Coffee Shop Mein</i></b> is a song you would expect from a movie called <i>Boyss Toh Boyss Hain. </i>Shashaa Tirupathi's voice is seductive in this entertaining Hinglish number. This is a fast paced number flows rapturously, but there is not necessarily a hook, since the whole song is it a hook itself. 3/5<br />
<div style="text-align: right;">
</div>
<br />
The composers pull Sunidhi Chauhan and Anup Jalota in for the uplifting song, <b><i>Dreaming</i></b>. This song has a light electronic beat, and is sung in Hinglish once again. The lyrics are a little cheesy, but the vocals of both singers are truely magnificent. Jalota's voice is reminiscent of Bollywood from the seventies and eighties, while Chauhan brings in a modern twist. 4/5<br />
<br />
Boyss Toh Boyss Hain returns for a remix. <b><i>Boyss Toh Boyss Hain Remix </i></b>picks up the electronic beat and speeds it up a little. There is not a huge difference between the two. 3.5/5<br />
<br />
For a smaller film, with mostly unknown composers, <i>Boyss Toh Boyss Hain </i>soundtrack is very good. The composers genuinely tried to create unusual songs while staying true to the Bollywood roots. This soundtrack can work beyond the silver screen and into your car.<br />
<br />
<b>My Picks: Boyss Toh Boyss Hain, Dreaming, Sab Kuch Badal Gaya, Gol Gol</b><br />

Vishal-Shehkar has produced soundtracks for recent popular Shahrukh Khan films, so its not surprising they would be the composers for <i>Chennai Express</i>. <i>Chennai Express' </i>songs, for the most part, are a ride to South India.<br />
<br />
<i>Chennai Express</i> unfortunately begins with <i><b>One Two Three Four</b> </i>sung by Vishal Dadlani and Hamsika Nayr, This song begins with Tamil verses and flows in to Hinglish for the remainder of the song. This song starts well, and is definitely catchy, but when the English verse "One Two Three Four, Get on the Dance Floor" comes in the song gets very odd. Especially when they say booty shake. These immature lyrics could have easily been done before, but there was a reason why no one else tried this. 2.5/5<br />
<br />
<i>Chennai Express</i> redeems itself with Chinmayi Sripad and Gopi Sundar in <b><i>Titli</i></b>. This romantic duet song begins beautifully with Tamil verses and continues in Hindi with Tamil slicing through. Its ethereal instrumentals almost give it a magical touch. Chinmayi's and Gopi's smooth voices transition well with each other. Titli is reminiscent of <i>Chandni Chowk to China's</i> Tere Naina. Refined and delicate it is winner all the way. Officially obsessed. 5/5<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Four! Booty Shake Booty Shake!</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<b><i>Tera Rastaa Chhodoon Na</i></b> unites Amitabh Bhattacharya and Anusha Mani for a romantic number. This song plays a little on Titli's beats, but its a little fast paced. Bhattacharya sounds uninterested, while Mani excels. This song is purely situational, so it might go well with the film's narrative, but its not good to listen alone. 3/5<br />
<br />
Next is<b><i> Kashmir Main Tu Kanyakumari </i></b> featuring Sunidhi Chauhan, Arjit Singh, and Neeti Mohan. I'm glad to see Arjit Singh-Sunidhi combo.This song is not bad, but it sounds like it should be in a musical. It's cute, and definitely one of the better tracks of the album. Arjit Singh and Sunidhi's voice coincide with Shahrukh and Deepika's. 4/5<br />
<br />
The fourth song is <b><i>Ready Steady Po</i></b>, primarily featuring Vishal Dadlani and a handful of singers. This song falls into the obscure desirap/electronica/dubstep category. This song is mostly rapped in English and is at the most mildly desi flavored. Its almost like a unbearable second theme for the movie.What were they thinking here? 2/5<br />

SP Balasubramanyam returns to Bollywood with the song <i><b>Chennai Express</b></i>. This song starts off horribly, but when Jonita Gandhi's voice comes in it picks up pace a little. I was astonished that this song also had dubstep and a lot of English verses inside. The only good part is the hook "Chenai-ai-ai-ai", and there is nothing more to say. SP's voice has definitely aged. This is supposed to be the theme for the movie, and it's exactly what it is. 2.5/5<br />

Dubstep comes back once again in <b><i>Titli (Dubstep Version)</i></b>. This song doesn't compare to the original version of Titli, but can work for dubstep listeners, as it ties the major elements of dubstep together with all the right Bollywood elements. 4/5<br />
<br />
<i style="font-weight: bold;">Chennai Express Mashup </i>is just a deranged swirl of all the songs in the soundtrack with yet another dubstep twist. There is nothing good about this. At moments it gets loud, unbearable and headache inducing. It will most likely be playing as the ending credits are rolling. 1/5<br />
<br />
<i>Chennai Express'</i> soundtrack ultimately fails because of its overwhelming use of dubstep and English verses. The soundtrack could have been better if they stuck more to the Indian roots instead of trying to tackle multiple genres. I expect better from Vishal-Shehkar.<br />

<b>My Picks: Titli & Dubstep Version, Kashmir Tu Kanyakumari</b><br />
