The year kicked off with perhaps the most interesting soundtrack in the form of Gehraiyaan. Savera Mehta and Kabeer Kathpalia a.k.a OAFF pretty much moved from relative indie obscurity to overnight stardom thanks to Bollywood’s full-fledged introduction to atmospheric electronica. “Doobey” was the highlight of the album, a single that instantly con...
Released at the very tale end of 2021 first, the Shahid Kapoor-starrer Jersey tried to replicate the smashing success of Kabir Singhboth at the box office and with its soundtrack. While the album didn’t reach the same soaring heights of that film, the single “Mehram” composed by Sachet-Parampara and performed by Sachet himself became a melody for t...
I’ll be honest, I haven’t seen the Aamir Khan film Laal Singh Chaddha. As someone who grew up watching Forrest Gump and still has memories of going to the theater the summer it released and just being blown away, I was a bit hesitant. So, I was pleasantly surprised when before the release we were given the song “Kahani,” a lovely track composed by ...
“Kesariya” is probably the most heavily hyped song I think I’ve ever seen in Bollywood history even before the release of the entire song, let alone the film it stems from, Brahmastra. Did it deserve so much attention or was it genius marketing? I’m guessing a little of both. Pritam and lyricist Amitabh Bhattacharya reunited again this time with th...
“Manike” is the correct way to cover and/or remake a song. The original single titled “Manike Mage Hithe” is a Sri Lankan song in the Sinhala language recorded by Yohani and Satheeshan Rathnayaka and produced by Chamath Sangeeth in 2020. The song became a big hit in the native land during the pandemic, while an official cover by Aleeza Mohammad rel...
Of course, we also still get original music too! And guess what, it can be damn good! Sanjay Leela Bhansali has become the most prolific music director alongside film director of late as his films boast some incredible melodies. Gangubai Khathiawadiwas yet another feather in his composition cap. Worded beautifully by Kumaar and performed brilliantl...
“Dhan Te Nan” from Kaminey this is not. For a film that found basically zero takers at the box office, Salaam Venkyactually has a pretty great soundtrack. The highlight is for sure “Dhan Te Nan Zindagi,” a poignant slice-of-life song performed by Mohit Chauhan alongside composer and lyricist Mithoon. The song utilizes the best parts of Mithoon’s me...
While nearly every film has an Arijit Singh track these days, most are interchangeable. Of course, “Kesariya” was an exception this year and ditto for “Apna Bana Le” from Bhediya. Oh, what a difference a music composer can make. While the lyrics continue to be penned by Amitabh Bhattacharya, Singh is a bit more challenged here thanks to composers S...
Ayushmann Khuranna hasn’t lately been giving us the big musical hits he once did (nor have his films been getting the big box-office revenues they once did). But that’s not to say that his films don’t offer melodious songs; they just don’t get the same hype or plays anymore that they once did. “Har Jagah Tu” from Doctor Gis a perfect example of ano...
The latest of the lot and while I can’t say I saved the best for last, I was worried that the list would only comprise melodious slow to mid-tempo compositions. Truth be told, the best upbeat numbers aren’t coming from Bollywood but rather from films originating down south or in the independent music market. Having said that, while Deepika Padukone...
