Commando Outshines Nautanki Saala!, Will Hold Steady
Action and comedy are fighting it out at the box office this week but the numbers indicate that both genres are hot favorites among the audience. Still, it was Reliance Entertainment and Vipul Shah’s action flick Commando that impressed the movie buffs more than Ramesh Sippy Entertainment and T-Series’ Nautanki ...

Umesh Shukla To Direct Jr AB
Ever since OMG! Oh My God turned out to be a goldmine for everyone associated with the film, there’s been intense speculation about Umesh Shukla’s next project. There were whispers about the director turning producer but that turned out to be idle talk.

T-Series Signs Composer Mithoon
It’s not often that you hear of a music giant pursuing a composer to sign them on. Turns out, composer Mithoon is the lucky guy, who has been signed by Bhushan Kumar’s T-Series for a three-film deal.
It happened like when Mithoon, during a music sitting to discuss some ...

Appalling!
There was a time when a Ram Gopal Varma flick guaranteed good music (Kshana Kshanam, Shiva, Rangeela, Satya and Mast). But in the last few years, not one of his films has had a single noteworthy song. Sadly, the soundtrack of Department is no better.
Composers Dharam-Sandeep lift the ...

American law makes a dent in online music piracy
Indian music companies are taking the battle against online copyright infringement to foreign shores. And it’s working. Tired of trying to get the Indian legal system and law-enforcers to close in on online pirates, music companies such as T-Series are ...
It’s Not About The Money
When a music company is owner-driven, success is about shaping your own destiny
People often ask me what makes T Series India’s undisputed number-one music company. Is it about money power? Definitely not! For, it is a fact that many of India’s biggest companies with very deep pockets ...

Dum Maaro Dum
Whether the soft melodies of Kuch Naa Kaho or the edgy soundtrack of Bluffmaster, the songs in Rohan Sippy’s films have found both popularity and acclaim. So one is excited to pick the CD of his latest flick Dum Maaro Dum. Needless to say, another huge reason is the inclusion ...
Thank You
The music of Thank You is testimony to the fact that even the best composers have their bad days. The usually dependable Pritam goes completely off-track and delivers a crashing bore of an album. And credit for the only exciting number goes to the legendary music director duo Kalyanji Anandji. ...
Game
Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy’s score for Game is quite mature – in terms of composition, approach and sound. Usually, such a genre of film comes with a kind of typical music that is largely exaggerated. SEL, on the other hand, within the limits of bollywood films, have churned something interesting that grabs your ...
Patiala House
Romantic films are Nikhil Advani’s forte, a strength he proved with his debut film Kal Ho Naa Ho. Alas, his next two releases – Salaam-E-Ishq (a romantic film but with too many sub-plots) and Chandni Chowk To China – failed to click at the box office.
Now, Advani ...

Patiala House
Nikhil Advani’s Kal Ho Naa Ho struck the right chord with the audience when it released in 2003. But since his sparkling debut, Advani has not been able to achieve much success with his subsequent films. Patiala House is an important release for him as well as for his leading ...

Dil Toh Bachha Hai Ji
After an array of hard-hitting social dramas like Page 3, Corporate and Fashion, Madhur Bhandarkar switches genres and returns with a comedy, Dil Toh Bachha Hai Ji (DTBHJ) starring popular names like Ajay Devgn and Emraan Hashmi. Interestingly, Bhandarkar collaborates with music director Pritam for the first time here. And ...
Yamla Pagla Deewana
Yamla Pagla Deewana marks the return of the strongest men in the business – the Deols! Unlike their earlier attempt, Apne, which was a weepy family drama, this time they will be seen in what is presumably a madcap entertainer. But what catches one’s attention is the list of music ...

Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey
Ashutosh Gowariker and A R Rahman have regaled us with breathtaking music in Lagaan, Swades and Jodhaa Akbar. And then Slumdog Millionaire happened. The story goes that Rahman sacrificed Gowariker’s What’s Your Rashee (WYR) to compose his Oscar-winning score for the Danny Boyle film.
The director went on to choose ...

Guzaarish
Sanjay Leela Bhansali uses the pitterpatter of rain, a radio, an accordion and KK’s outstanding vocals and blends them to create a soul-stirring amalgamation – the title track of Guzaarish. Gloomy in mood, the song makes for an exquisite listening experience. Though philosophical in nature, lyricist Vibhu Puri takes the ...
Knock Out
The promos of director Mani Sharma’s latest Knock Out make it appear like the film could be similar
to the American psychological thriller Phone Booth. Typically, films of such genre could do without
the mandatory songs. But the album of Knock Out boasts of six songs, most of them composed ...
Aakrosh
Priyadarshan’s films are mostly frothy comedies. But once in a while, he steers away from that genre to make hard-hitting dramas like Viraasat, Gardish and Kyon Ki... His latest, Aakrosh, falls into that space and deals with the contemporary issue of honour killings.
Typically, in films that deal with sensitive ...
Hello Darling
For a banner that gave us outstanding music in blockbuster films like Karz, Ram Lakhan, Hero, Karma, Pardes and Taal, it’s sad to see Mukta Arts floundering today. Nearly all their recent films have had disappointing soundtracks but with Hello Darling, they have hit an all-time low, this in spite ...

PEEPLI [Live]
PEEPLI [Live] is the latest offering from Aamir Khan Productions. The film’s humorous promos have already caught the public’s attention, which is almost unbelievable given that the film stars a bunch of new faces. But what’s truly commendable is the use of folk music in the film’s soundtrack. The album ...
Udaan
After listening to the soundtrack of Udaan, two things strike you. One, the lyrics by Amitabh Bhattachaya which are plain brilliant – his words are totally in sync with the theme of the film and convey the many moods of the protagonist perfectly. And next, the fact that this album ...
