Tandoori Nights - Karzzzz

Playback - Himesh Reshammiya, Sunidhi Chauhan

Music - Himesh Reshammiya

Lyrics - Sameer

When I think of Tandoori - what immediately comes to my mind is chicken! and maybe.. Paneer (Cottage cheese).

I mean what the hell am I thinking about food when we are talking about a song here...
that's because this song is so Tandoori! Also, the film's title is spelt with 4 Z! The Z effect I must say :)

Besides the song's name.. I think it's a winner and Himesh Reshammiya is back.
He is such a favorite amongst the masses and a lot of people do love him! and ofcourse.. hate him too.

One also gets to see Urmila Matondkar in a film after a long time.. she plays Simi Garewal's role in the film.. vilainous!

Tandoori Nights has nice beats, and foot tapping music.. you should listen to it for sure and my favorite lines are:

Tanha Tanha Hai Dil, Tanha Tandoori Nights
If Loving U Is Wrong, I Dont Wanna Be Right

Listen to it here.

Pichle Saat Dino - Rock On!!

Playback - Farhan Akhtar

Music - Shankar - Ehsaan - Loy

Lyrics - Javed Akhtar

Na na na naa... Na na na naa.. is the most ticking part of this song!
In the film, that's how Farhan Akhtar gets the crowd to sing along with him at their live performance and get's them going..

Lyrics quite young.. and more like the kind where the boy is in his early college days with dark glasses, denim jacket, meets a girl and likes her.. and all of that..

One line that deserves thought is - Kabhi khud pe hasa main, aur kabhi roya..
There are times in our lives where sometimes you feel I'm the best and it's all good and then there's a time where you feel.. what am I doing!!??

Nice song, nice music, do listen to it!

Rock On - Rock On!!

Playback - Farhan Akhtar

Music - Shankar - Ehsaan - Loy

Lyrics - Javed Akhtar

The best part of the song is the beginning .. awesome beats of the guitar!
When I listen to the lyrics of the song.. it somehow reminds me of the scene from Sholay where Dharmendar is standing at a height and goes Basantiiii.. and Soocide! :)
Reason being ..

Dil Kya Kehta Hai Mera Kya Main Bataoon
Tum Ye Samjhoge Shayad Main Pagal Hoon
Dil Karta Hai Tv Tower Pe Main Chadd Jaoon
Chilla Chilla Ke Main Ye Sabse Kehdoon
Rock On… Hai Ye Waqt Ka Ishaara
Rock On… Har Lamha Pukaara
Rock On… Yuhin Dekhta Hai Kya Tu
Rock On… Zindagi Millegi Na Dobaara...

Nice song, well sung.. and ofcourse you need rhythm to say 'Rock On' :)

Ye Tumhari Meri Baatein - Rock On!!

Playback - Dominique Cerejo

Music - Shankar - Ehsaan - Loy

Lyrics - Javed Akhtar

This song is no not "rocking" but it's peaceful and soft on the ears :)
Especially the soft whistle :)

Do listen to this one.. it's different from the rest of Rock On!!

Sinbad The Sailor - Rock On!!

Playback - Farhan Akhtar & Raman Mahadevan

Music - Shankar - Ehsaan - Loy

Lyrics - Javed Akhtar

Sinbad the Sailor is the last song which the band "Magik" in the film performs.. it's their last big chance and they did a wonderful job of it.

The lyrics don't make much sense to me.. but I just like the beats and the music in this track.
It's fast and fun! If you've watched the film, there's a moment where Purab Kohli (K.D. - Killer Drummer) starts playing the drums just before Arjun Rampal enters to perform - that moment was indeed killer.. very nice and very well done!

Uske the jo sapne, wohi uske the apne
Aisa tha Sinbad the sailor, sailor
Uske the jo sapne, wohi uske the apne
Aisa tha Sinbad the sailor, sailor

... are the nice and energetic lines of the song... love the music!

To add to this there's another version of Tum Ho Toh in this song.. which is brilliant!
This version is sung by Farhan Akhtar & Raman Mahadevan (he sang Kholo Kholo from Taare Zameen Par) + the eeee (by F.A.) + a lot of the electronic guitar.. an absolute delight!

I'd like to say - well done S - E - L :)

Socha Hai - Rock On!!

Playback - Farhan Akhtar

Music - Shankar - Ehsaan - Loy

Lyrics - Javed Akhtar

A pretty loud and fast song which makes you think when you listen to it..(good drum beats and a good rhythm)

Why is the sky blue, why is the world round, why is the fire hot.. and a lot of other things like that..Things we don't think about in our day to day lives but they are part of it somehow..

Socha Hai?? I haven't .. to socho abhi!! :)

I'll say it again.. Farhan Akhtar has now become an all rounder.. and is doing a pretty good job!

Socha hai is a nice song.. and I missed quite a bit of it when I went to the theater to watch the film coz it's in the beginning.. so don't miss it!
