Bombay Talkies : Music Review

Give it up for Bachchan : Bachchan-pooja of the industry reaches a new height with this song penned by Amitabh Bhattacharya. Very neat composition using Rubab and dholak and first class singing by Sukhvinder, the song is peppy and foot tapping, but just an above average tribute-kind of song. Sprinkled with Big B's dialogues (just like the remixes we had in late 90s), it is very easy to 'give up' listening to this track after repeats.

Akkad Bakkad (Movie Madari) : Swanand Kirkire's words bring that wide grin easily, when Mohit Chauhan croons this endearing song about our beloved movies. (despite the cringe-worthy awesome-mausam). Having similarity with Dhak Dhuk (with added shehnais) this one is a really good song for movie lovers, if not 'epic song for 100 years of cinema'.

Murabba (Duet) : After Gubbare, Amit and Amitabh comes together with another metaphor to describe life - Murabba ! Kavita Seth mesmerizes with her unusual voice with brilliantly done low key singing by Amit himself. A typical 'AT' arrangement in background and with Lovely lyrics (Kal se bhi zyada aaj tar lagta hai, kal phir khana, behtar lagta hai) this track lingers for long even after you push the stop button.

Bombay Talkies (Duet) : Another one about movies, another one by Swanand. This one sung by Kailash Kher and Richa Sharma picks up effectively with the chorus singing 'Bombay Talkies', that by the end u join in with them. Best thing about this track, - Richa Sharma's singing. Going almost 'Faruqabaadi (LSTCK)' during interludes, this dedication to 'Bombay' film industry, is worth listening to.

Murabba (Solo) : This one, sung by Javed Bashir, reminds me of a track from Ra.One !! Maybe its because of its 'train like' sounds. Only the name is similar to earlier Murabba. Fast paced singing of Javed is excellent, but overall, it doesn't impress you despite of Amitabh's welll written lyrics. Everything sounds forced and the 3:41 long song feels too long.

Bombay Talkies (Various) : Starting on a perfect note with the music piece taken from Papa Kehte hain (QSQT) and opening lines sung by Udit Narayan - Jeena Yahaan, Marna Yahaan. The track promises a fabulous ride ahead, with line up of Kavita Krishnamurthy, Shaan and Mohit Chauhan. Lines sung by them, all with their super hit songs' tunes in background. But strangely, it ends soon, very soon. And the ride stops too early unfortunately. This could have been a really fabulous if the idea was extended to some more singers and more 'remade' lines. But ah, well.

Not a bad soundtrack at all. But yes, when you are tagging the movie as a 'Tribute to 100 years of cinema', 'Celebrate the spirit of cinema' and blah blah. The expectations go huge. And definitely, Amit Trivedi's score, in that way, falls short to satisfy to meet them. Still, with 4 wonderful tracks out of 6, Bombay Talkies is a Good album, that just falls short to meet the standards set by Amit himself.

My Picks : Akkad Bakkad, Murabba, Bombay Talkies.

Bachchan (Bombay Talkies) : Lyrics

Sitaaron ki shaan hai jo ....woh..Bachchan

Cinema ka imaan hai jo....woh..Bachchan
Milon se dilon tak
Aaya re aaya re chaaya re
Chaaya re..

Amitabh bachchan se milna hai

Bacha bacha gaaye from bachpan bachpan
Bachchan bachchan bachchan
Woh hai bachchan bachchan

Bacha bacha gaaye from bachpan bachpan
Bachchan bachchan bachchan
Woh hai bachchan bachchan

Naam hi superhit ki chaap hai
Joh bhi hai yeh aaj apne aap hai
Bhare padhe hai tamaam hero
Rishtey mein yeh sabke baap hai

Give it up for Bachchan
Give it up for Bachchan

Saari duniya ka dil pighal gaya
Jalwa mein inke woh taap hai
Bhare padhe hai tamaam hero
Rishtey mein yeh sabke baap hai

Give it up for Bachchan
Give it up for Bachchan

(Aur bhia miley amitabh bachchan se)

Bacha bacha gaaye from bachpan bachpan
Bachchan bachchan bachchan
Woh hai bachchan bachchan

Sitaaron ki shaan....Cinema ka imaan...........Aaya re aaya re chaaya re

Khoon Choos Le (Go Goa Gone) : Song Lyrics


Aye Le, phir aa gaya tu, Face utha ke,
Dum lega kya, meri jaan khake, 
Khoon Choosne tu aaya, khoon choosne, 
Bloody khooni Monday, kyun aaya khoon choosne, 
Tu jaa re jaa, kabootar jaa,

main nahi jaana, bistar ko chhod ke
Khoon choos le tu mera khoon chooos le, 
Bloody khooni Monday tu mera Khoon choos le. 

Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrrrrrrrrrrr rrrrrrrrrrr

Hey maana tere naam mein hai mann ek baar 
to tu mann ki karega, kya bey Monday, 
Kaahe bhaaye na karaar, jab tak tu na yaar 
gaade Sunday ki kabar par jhandey, 
Sukun ke shikari, Somvaar, 

main nahi jaana, bistar ko chhod ke
Khoon choos le tu mera khoon chooos le, 
Bloody khooni Monday tu mera Khoon choos le. 

Sunday hai dildaar, deke maiyya ka pyaar, 
Mujhe loriyaan gaa ke jo sulaaye, 
Par tera hai vichaar, ke main shankh hoon yaar, 
poore power se mujhko bajaaye,
Sukun ke shikari, Somvaar, 

Kaan khujana, kaan khujana, 
kaan khujana, Ungli ghusod ke

Khoon choos le tu mera khoon chooos le, 
Bloody khooni Monday tu mera Khoon choos le.
Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrrrrrrrrrrr rrrrrrrrrrr

Go Goa Gone : Music Review

Bloody heady Slowly Slowly is something you can't help but repeat endlessly.   Don't know why I thought so, but at first I thought its Amit. But whoa ! Its Sachin-Jigar. Sung by Jigar and Talia Bentson, this one is a killer. And if the first one is a killer - next Khoon Choos Le literally does that - to Monday. Yes, a very first 'Anti-Monday Anthem'. (Lyrics by Amitabh Bhattacharya) Fabulous lyrics that cribs about going to office on a Monday. The trio Arjun Kanungo, Suraj Jagan & Priya Panchal rocks the scene totally. 

Far more hilarious is next one - Babaji Ki Booti. Sung by the composer duo, this track makes to go ROFL with its crackling lyrics (Superman? nah, that's Babaji !). Though somewhere it reminds of their own 'Chandu Ki Girlfriend', but maybe, just because of similar genre. After all these, composers surprise you with chilled out, lovely Khushamdeed sung by Shreya Ghoshal. Wonder where this one be used in the movie, absolutely charming this one is. Last one, I Keel Dead Peepal - is a carousel of dialogues. Dub-steps  ahem, yes with those fab lines you already have heard in the trailer - sets perfect mood for the zombie outing. (Delhi se hoon ***beeep****)
Go Goa Gone - is insane bloody mad soundtrack, thanks to the composer duo Sachin-Jigar and the lyricists. A zom-com movie can't ask for better soundtrack. Killer zombies se bhara album ! Just go for it !
My Picks : Slowly Slowly, Khoon Choos Le, Babaji Ki Booti, Khushamdeed, I Keel Dead Peepal (!!!)

Aashiqui 2 : Music Review


Tum Hi Ho strikes the chord from first listen itself. Riding high on recent successful tracks - Arijit Singh yet again impresses with his flawless rendition. The only tune composed by Mithoon for this album, is best of the lot easily. Repeats as a duet Meri Aashiqui, with competent support by Palak Muchhal. Arijit continues to shine in next, Ankit Tiwari composed Sunn Raha Hai. Written by Sandeep Nath, the track is pretty absorbing. It repeats as an overtly sweet version by Shreya. 

Chahun Main Ya Naa - starts as Jeet Ganguly's starter for the main course. Irshad Kamil's wonderful words can't help a typical tune here. Hum Mar Jayenge 'actually' sounds pretty good if you 'minus' the lead singer here - Tulsi Kumar. The moment Arijit enters the scene, is absolutely charming though. Again, wonderfully written by Irshad. Piya Aaye Na has surprisingly different sounding KK in rather an okayish tune.

Mustafa Zahid's Bhula Dena's strings are something, worth listening the track for. Though Aasan Nahin Yahaan has that (by now after n number of such songs) annoying 'whoa whoa whoooa whoaa', making it an average one. Last one by Arijit, Milne Hai Mujhse Aayi works perfectly with Irshad's words. Brilliant guitars and vocals of Arijit, this actually sounds good. 

No doubt, this is not the 'original' Aashiqui - the epic soundtrack that defined 90s. Barring the similar name, a lot was expected from this soundtrack. But in the end, it has ended up as just a 'nice, Bhatt Bros soundtrack'. Wish they could have said 'No' to Tulsi Kumar and said 'Yes' to more tunes by Mithoon. 

My Picks : Tum Hi Ho, Sunn Raha Hai, Milne Hai Mujhse
