Aksar - Hijack

Playback - KK (Regular Version) & Shaan (Unplugged Version)

Music - Justin - Uday

(I think it's their first album.. never heard of them before)

Lyrics - Kumaar (same for him)

This song is simply amazing because I love the energy with which KK sings.
It just takes the song to another level & guitar music to add to it - makes it brilliant!

The unplugged version has more of the guitar & sweet touch to it.. which makes it sound like a nice romantic song.

In all Aksar has 4 versions:

Original - upbeat, fast.
Sad - emotional but nice.
Remix - not so much fun..
Unplugged - sweet!

Isn't that 4 times much? :)

I don't like the other tracks much.. and I'm not sure of watching the film either..

Singh is Kinng

Music - Pritam

Lyrics - Mayur Puri

Bas Ek King

Playback - Mika Singh, Hard Kaur, Neeraj Shridhar

"Put your fist up, put your fist up".... Singh is Kinng, Singh is Kinng!
These lines have become like a new anthem and I think a lot of people have already gotten used to it.
Akshay Kumar, is rocking with his movies shining at the Box-office along with Reality TV shows (Khatron ke Khiladi) and Brand endorsements (Levi's)!
This Singh is truly the current King.

This version has more of rap and English lyrics - well done Hard Kaur!

Singh is Kinng

Playback - Snoop Dogg, Akshay Kumar, RDB

This version has more of "Singh is Kinng" and more Punjabi in style.. at a later stage of the song, it's got this nice punjabi dhol beat to it which sounds nice.


Teri Ore

Playback - Shreya Ghoshal & Rahat Fateh Ali Khan

A nice love song is what I think of Teri Ore.
Very sweetly sung by Shreya Ghoshal is what makes the song a winner. It's also got nice, soft beats along with some folk music which somehow gives me the

Rajasthani feel.. don't know why.

However, my favorite bits of the song are the lines sung by Rahat Fateh Ali Khan.. the feeling is just so different and amazing!


Ek Heer Thi Aur Tha Ek Raanjha,
Kehte Hai Mere Gaon Mein,
Sacha Ho Dil To..Sau Mushkilen Ho
Jhukta Naseeba Pao Mein..

Ho Ho..Aanchal Tera Rabba;
Falak Ban Gaya Hai,
Ab Iska Nahi, Koi Ore, Koi Chore.. Teri ore..


Talli Hua

Playback - Neeraj Shridhar, Labh Janjua

After Talli ho gayi of Ugly aur Pugly.. we have Talli Hua from Singh is Kinng.
Picturised on Ranveer Shorey - who is a common link between the two songs.
This song's got a fast pace to it.. and a little flattish range.. but it's a decent track..but I wouldn't say as good as the other songs in this album.

Overall, Singh is Kinng has decent songs.. except Bhootni Ke - I have no idea as to why that song was called so.

Lucky Boy - Bachna Ae Haseeno

Playback - Sunidhi Chauhan & Hard Kaur

Music - Vishal-Shekhar

Lyrics - Anvita Dutt Guptan

The first time I heard this song.. my instant reaction was .. what's Lu(aa)cky boy??
Pretty weird is what I thought but then when you keep listening to it or for that matter even try and sing along.. you'll end up with Lu(aa)cky boy :)

Hard Kaur is the singing sensation of the season.. with so many tracks one after the other..and the highlight of the song is the music.. simply brilliant and catchy.. and not to forget the sensuous Bipasha Basu.


This song is a chart buster for sure & you got to listen to it if you haven't watched or heard this song or even if you already hate it - it's still a nice song :)

Tum Ho Toh - Rock On!!

Playback - Farhan Akhtar

Music - Shankar - Ehsaan - Loy

Lyrics - Javed Akhtar

If you're there, there's everything,
If you aren't, there's nothing.

As simple as that is what this simple melody from Rock On!! is about.
I'm actually quite amazed at how well Farhan Akhtar can sing.. I mean I never expected him to sing, and that too so many songs in the film. So now, he too is multi-tasking.. from being a director to producer to actor to singer. Wow! that's quite a lot of cost cutting I'd say.. I also think it's cool if he can do a good job in each role.

The music of this song is pretty melow in comparison with some of the other songs in the album.. I guess it's because it's more of an emotional and sad song.. more like a point in a film when u realise the importance of that someone special. Will have to wait for the movie to see if it actually is like that..


All said and done.. I think it's a nice song.. do listen to it, especially the music which goes with the O..o..wo.woo..!

Is This Love - Kismat Konnection

Playback - Mohit Chauhan, Shreya Ghoshal

Music - Pritam

Lyrics - Shabbir Ahmed

Is this love from Kismat Konnection is a sweet, romantic melody which somehow reminds me of Tumse Hi from Jab We Met which became a super hit song when it released..

Is this love is also the name of a song from Pyaar Ke Side Effects which starred Mallika Sherawat & Rahul Bose.. which was sung by Kunal Ganjawala.. (2 songs with the same title!)

Both songs have a similar feel, slow paced, decent music.. and the same singer.. and similar mood..

All said and done.. I like both songs..

Do listen to both!

Ahista Ahista - Bachna Ae Haseeno

Playback - Lucky Ali, Shreya Ghoshal

Music - Vishal - Shekhar

Lyrics - Anvita Dutt Guptan

A musical delight is what I think Ahista Ahista is.. full of the original guitar (love it!)
Going beyond the music, I'd say - Welcome Lucky Ali!
It's a refreshing feel to music after really long.. the last track I can recollect sung by Lucky Ali is
Ek Pal Ka Jeena from Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai which was a chartbuster.. and there was Sur as well.

Besides these.. haven't heard much of Lucky Ali..

The title Ahista Ahista has also been used a lot in Bollywood and to name some.. here goes:
- Ishq Ne Tere Ishq Ne - Film:Ahista Ahista
- Ahista Ahista - Pankaj Udas
- Ahista Ahista - A film released in 1981
.. and there maybe more!

The song's picturised on Ranbir Kapoor & Minishha Lamba and looks good.. with very pretty locations. Watch and listen to it here:



I can't wait to watch this film.. in theatres 15th August,'08.

Jee Karda - Singh Is Kinng

Playback - Labh Janjua, Suzie Q

Music - Pritam

Lyrics - Javed Akhtar

I'm kinda gal
who likes little fun
and likes game wana play

I think naught as nice
n shivers n spices
I listen to one n say

Kisi na ka dar
Na koi fikar
To aajaa baby get down

Bas charo aur ho bas yehi shor
I'll tell wht all this abt
Ae paaji comeon comeon
lets get down get down get do it
Yeh paaji have a little fun
Its really really nuthing to it

Ye paaji why u force to go
get move on boy n u see
Ye paaji on ur mark be steady
r u ready to play with me

All my ladies goin crazy
With rhythm let them
Music spining hiting up them tonite

Lifes a party to jee lee tu khul ke jee lee
kal kya hoga jo hona hai ho jayeeee

... What if life was really a party without worries.. would it be as much fun?
I think you should live the present and chuck the past and not bother about the future coz they aren't really controllable!!

Jee Karda bai jee karda
Tenu kor baithawa jee karda ....

I think this song is full of energy, dance and fun.. It's got nice, catchy beats and full on Punjabi!!
I think this song is one which would fit into a "Sangeet" function of a wedding really well where you have people rocking the night away!

Pritam has done a good job with the music.. and I think Labh Janjua sounds exactly the same as Akshay Kumar in this song.. for a moment when I first heard the song.. I thought it was Akshay Kumar singing..well done Labh Janjua!

And.. as usual - Akshay Kumar rocks in this song too :)
