Ready : Music Review

Samajh lo something is wrong with you if 'Dhinka Chika' doesn't make you get up and dance. Fultoo desi style. The stylebhai style. The remake of Ringa Ringa - the original telugu track by Devi Sri Prasad - is pretty apt in Bollyfied version too. Mika and Amrita Kak - perfect for the song. Except this - all tracks are composed by Pritam. Another track that is perfect for Salman - Character Dheela - is a pleasant surprise because it has lyrics by Amitabh Bhattacharya, who rarely pens such stuff. Can't wait to see Sallu dancing to these two tracks.

Oh, wait - there's a third one too. Meri ada bhi - a complete Punjabi flavored track that makes you want to move instantly. Starting with traditional 'mera long wacha' - Rahat Fateh Ali Khan [thank God, this time not in standard 'Pritam gave me this to sing' track], paired with Tulsi Kumar [wannabe Shreya?], fantastic dance track. And lastly, there's a standard 'Love song by Pritam' too. With his trademark beats Humko Pyaar Hua by KK/Tulsi Kumar is sweet.

Overall, for a commercial potboiler, soundtrack of Ready is pretty fun. Get ready for more fun in the movie.

About BigRock.com and Discount coupon giveaway

Well, I am not a techie when it comes to register or design my own site, work with domains etc. And like anyone else, I was relying on GoDaddy's domain plans and services. Frankly speaking, they confuse me a lot with their cluttered layout of the website. And one fine day, I got this mail in my inbox. As I usually do [lazybum I am] I ignored it for days, untill few days back I read it and went through the website. BigRock.com . Was surprised that a domain provider/website hosting services website can be so simple !

Compared to other such sites, BigRock has really really easy and clean layout of the site that wins hands down.

Tanu Weds Manu : Music Review

This is...a total surprise ! Wasn't expecting such an interesting soundtrack for a fun movie. RDB's composition 'Sadi Galli' is an absolutely addictive punjabi track that [as always] makes you want to move your feet. Sung by Lehmber Hussainpuri, the track makes a fun start. The scene totally changes at next smooth track by Mohit Chouhan, in his 'sharaabi' voice he sings 'Yun Hi' [Kitne Dafe] a charming track composed by Krsna-the debutant composer of the album. Backing vocals by Ujjaini-the song steals heart at first listen.

But the highlight of this album [for me] is 'Rangrez'. Sung by Krsna himself that [i suppose] is a cover of Wadali Brothers' original [Puranchand Wadali, Pyare Lal Wadali]. That is also there in the album. Some really really good lyrics to watch out for. Written by Rajshekar - first antara is amazing word play. If these two Qawwalis are not enough, Roop Kumar Rathod is waiting to give another superb track - Piya , a tabla laden track is sheer bliss. Its been a long time we heard Rathod in such track. Love it.

7 Khoon Maaf : Music Review

Thousands of praises are already all over the web-space. As always, Vishal teams up with Gulzaar saab, and the result is as expected, awesome [such an understatement for both of them, no?]. 

While the addictive 'Darrrling' is already darling of all, it has two versions ['Doosri Darling' !] that are yet not enough for music lovers. Usha Uthup-after a long time- takes us on fun ride along with Rekha Bhardwaj. Gulzar again mixes up casual words with pure Urdu, and the result is outstanding. Next track is the best from the album. Why not? Its credited to Vishal himself as a singer. Starting smoothly, 'Bekaraan' [means restless] reaches its [almost lyrically orgasmic] peak in the last para. How we are indebted to Gulzar saab for keeping such poetry alive ! 

'O Mama' travels different genre after the first two. KK in a rock track is a sure shot. Surprised Gulzar's words can be used in such song too !! Acoustic version of the song is as interesting as this one. Next up, dark 'Aawara' sets perfect mood for the dark movie, sung by Master Saleem -the thumping beats makes an interesting listen.
