Bakhuda Tum Hi Ho - Kismat Konnection

Playback - Atif Aslam & Alka Yagnik

Music - Pritam

Lyrics - Sayeed Quadri & Shabeer Ahmed

Kismat Konnection is directed by Aziz Mirza and I think he's got onto the "K" bandwagon too after Karan Johar, Ekta Kapoor & Rakesh Roshan.. I hope it works for him and if it does, it's amazing how the K works magic :)

The film stars Shahid Kapoor & Vidya Balan.. it's a cute pair I think.
It's Shahid's first release after the hit Jab We Met..

Bakhuda Tumhi Ho - is a nice and soulful melody.. very well sung by Atif as always!
Alka Yagnik too has sung well but I think they could have got someone younger..
Thinking of the music of the song, it does sound very familiar.. can't recollect now.. but it does seem lifted.. sorry Pritam!

All said and done.. I think this song's gona be a topper.. do listen to it!

Tu Bole Main Boloon - Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na

Playback - A.R.Rahman

Music - A.R.Rahman

Lyrics - Abbas Tyrewala

Tu Bole Glass aadha khali
Mein bolun aadha bhara

(this reminds me of the thought that you should think positive and be optimistic :) )

Mein bolun kitna sara
Tu bole zara zara
Mein bolun din hai to
Tu bole raat nahi
Baat to wohi hai
Bas wohi baat nahi
Baat to hai bas yehi hai ki
Meri baat bas

Jaane tu Jaane tu ya jaane na
Maane tu Maane tu ya maane na
(Just love the way it's sung)

And all that jazz.. and the piano..

In the song it's all about me saying yes and you saying no,
me saying right & you saying left :)
If it's true.. and I think it is.. opposites do attract and so it is in the song too.
Coming to the music in the song, I think A.R. Rahman has given a lot of change to his style of music.. in this album - it's fresh and I could so not tell this was his composition!

Good job Rahman!
It's a different song, do catch it sometime!

Kabhi Kabhi Aditi Zindagi - Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na

Playback - Rashid Ali

Music - A. R. Rahman

Lyrics - Abbas Tyrewala

Soft, sweet melody is how I'd define this song.
When I listen to it, it reminds me of Musu musu from Pyar Mein Kabhi Kabhi.. not because of the music but maybe because of the fact of boy trying to cheer up the girl kind of lyrics.

Jaane tu ya jaane na is Aamir Khan's nephew's (Imran Khan) debut film.. and I think he should be good. The film also looks like a typical romantic drama.. I'll watch it for sure :) and I really like the lyrics of the song too.. so here goes:

Kabhi Kabhi aditi Zindagi ,Mein yuhi koi apna lagta hai
Kabhi Kabhi aditi woh bichad jaye to
Ek sapna lagta hai
Aise mein koi kaise apnne aasun ko behene se roke
Aur kaise koi soch deEverythings gona be ok
Kabhi kabhi to lage zindagi mein rahi na khushi aur na maza
Kabhi kabhi to lage har din muskhil
Aur har pal ek saza
Aise mein koi kaise muskuraye kaise hasde kush ho ke
Aur kaise koi soch de Everything gona be ok
Soch zara janejaa tujhko hum kitna chahte
Rote hai hum bhi agar teri aakhon mein aasun aate hain
Gana to aata nahi hai magar phir bhi hum gaate hain
Hey aditi maan kabhi ,kabhi sare jahan mein andhera hota hai
Lekin raat ke baad hi to savera hota
Kabhi Kabhi aditi Zindagi ,Mein yuhi koi apna lagta hai
Kabhi Kabhi aditi woh bichad jaye to
Ek sapna lagta hai
Hey aditi hasde hasde hasde hasde hasde tu zara
Nahi to bas thoda thoda thoda thoda thoda thoda muskura
Tu Kush Hai to lage ki jahan mein chai hai kushi
Suraj nikle badlon se aur baate zindagi
Sunto zara madhosh hawa tujhse kehne lagi
Ki Aditi woh ko bichadte hain ek na ek din phir mil jate hain
Aditi jane tu ya jaane na phool phir khil jate hain
Kabhi Kabhi aditi Zindagi ,Mein yuhi koi apna lagta hai
Kabhi Kabhi aditi woh bichad jaye toEk sapna lagta hai
Hey aditi hasde hasde hasde hasde hasde tu zara
Nahi to bas thoda thoda thoda thoda thoda thoda muskura
Hey aditi hasde hasde hasde hasde hasde tu zara
Nahi to bas thoda thoda thoda thoda thoda thoda muskura


Sweet and peaceful song with good beats.. do listen to it!

Nihaal Ho Gayi - Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic

Playback - Shankar Mahadevan

Music - Shankar - Ehsaan - Loy

Lyrics - Prasoon Joshi

Pretty woman.. dekho dekho na and Kajra Re.. is what comes to my mind when I finish hearing this song. I guess it's because it's composed and sung by the same trio.

Nihaal ho gayi.. is a nice fun song, full of energy and high pitched.. very well sung by Shankar Mahadevan.. he is one truly talented singer who can do good classical singing and in the context of the song.. I think it's about how a complicated life gets sorted or atleast they think it's sorted after .. that ek nazar :) I really don't know how..
and then things all seem nice and happening.. like how it happens in "Kuch to hua hai" .. Kal Ho Naa Ho - remember?

It's a nice song, listen and feel good :)

Lazy Lamhe - Remix - Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic

Playback - Anushka Manchanda

Music - Shankar - Ehsaan - Loy & Remix - Dj Aqeel

Lyrics - Prasoon Joshi

Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic, Thoda Life Thoda Magic.. Same same but different movies with slightly but different titles.. I wonder how that happened and if you happen to watch trailors of hindi films, you'll probably catch these two within little time.

In the film Rani Mukerji plays a fairy who does not know how and what is love.. and I'm guessing Saif who finally does fall in love.. falls for Rani.. Oh my.. this somehow reminds me of an English movie which starred Resse Witherspoon called "Just Like Heaven"..and I wouldn't be surprised if thoda pyaar.. turns out to be similar.

Thinking of lazy lamhe.. the monsoons and winter (though Mumbai doesn't really have "winter") are the times when you do really feel lazy.. or a sunday morning :)
The remix of the song is what I like.. courtest Dj Aqeel.. it's got a lot of beats which have featured in his recent Waada Karo remix (Powerplay 2.).. but, I still like it.

You should listen to this version of the song.. it's got nice beats and very well sung too. A total music song for me.

Dil Dance Maare - Tashan

Playback - Sukhwinder Singh, Udit Narayan & Sunidhi Chauhan

Music - Vishal - Shekhar

Lyrics - Vishal

By far the most tapori song this year is what I think of Dil Dance Maare!
This song has been playing quite a bit and yes, it hasn't featured till date because I never really thought the song was any great when I first heard it.. but I guess some songs are liked a little more when they get a little popular.. and I guess the case is the same.

Akshay Kumar and Saif look whacked in the blonde avataar.. but Kareena still carried it off pretty well is what I think..

Coming to the music of the song.. the beginning with the harmonium just takes me back to Bidi Jalaile from Omkara.. which also had quite a bit of the harmonium playing.. I guess it's the "tapori" kind of touch given to the song.. it's got good beats and the nice guitar music too.. It's a good blend of Indian and Western beats.. also maybe because of the blondes that feature in the song besides the Bollywood stars..

All in all.. I think the song makes me happy in my heart when I hear the song :)

And.. the funniest lines are:
White white face dheke dil woh beating fast sasura
Jaan se maare re
Aahh…White white face dheke dil woh beating fast sasura
Jaan se maare re
Oh very… oh very…Oh very happy in my heart
Dil dance maare re

..Creative lyrics & I must say.. good job Vishal!

Tashan Mein - Tashan

Playback - Vishal Dadlani, Saleem

Music - Vishal - Shekhar

Lyrics - Piyush Mishra-Vishal Dadlani-Anvita Dutt Guptan-Kausar Munir

Hir Hai He.. Hir Hai He Hai.. Hey Taali Bajave Nache Gave....

I just love this part of the song a lot :)

This song features during the titles of the movie at the beginning.. and yes, when I heard it the first time, I thought it was noise.. but I guess the more you listen to it, you start liking it a little more!

This song has got a mix of instruments blended well..to make it a nice musical song.

I think - I like this song.. and I hated the film except Akshay Kumar :).
He truly was the saving grace in the film..

Nice music in this song,listen to it sometime.

Dekho Nashe Mein (Latin Fiesta Mix) - Race

Playback - Shaan, Sunidhi Chauhan, KK

Music - Pritam

Lyrics - Sameer - Taz


All I want to do when I hear this song is dance, dance, and dance a little more :)

I actually like the whistle playing very prominently in the beginning.. it reminds me of Sport's day in school.. maybe not a very nice comparison but well..
This indeed is a foot-tapping number from Race which was full of twists and turns.. maybe a little too much for one single film.. but well it was good entertainment.

Saif, Bipasha, Akshaye Khanna and Katrina Kaif all look nice in the song.
It's also been picturised well.. what a farmhouse.. whoever's it is :)

Coming to the playback singers.. I think KK tops my list now since Sonu Nigam is a little out of action.. KK's been coming up with some pretty good songs in the recent past.. not to forget Alvida(Life..In A Metro) and Kya Mujhe Pyar Hai (Woh Lamhe) - a couple of my favorites.

Dekho Nashe Mein -- also reminds me of the song from Tum Bin - Thoda Daroo Vich Pyar.. maybe because of the association of alcohol and fun!

It's a nice dance song.. get it for sure!
