Jao Naa - What's Your Rashee?

Playback - Sohail Sen & Tarannum Malik

Music - Sohail Sen

Lyrics - Javed Akhtar

Jao naa is a song about how one feels good when you have your significant other around you and you don't want them to leave.. it's about a moment which will not come back.. the ambiance, the set up and the likes..

It's a feel good song with a lot of guitar beats and it's also one of the better songs from the film and filmed across the Bandra - Worli sealink in Mumbai at night.. long drives are usually fun :)

Listen to the song here

Raat Ke Dhaai Baje - Kaminey

Playback - Rekha Bharadwaj, Sunidhi Chauhan, Kunal Ganjawala & Suresh Wadkar

Music - Vishal Bharadwaj

Lyrics - Gulzar

Raat ke dhaai baje is a total nautanki song.. fun to dance on and just have some fun..
It's got Priyanka Chopra playing a maharashtrian bride attempting to be shy and a coy Shahid Kapoor watching.. and then dancing along..

It's an adapt of another beautiful track from the film called 'Pehli Baar Mohabbat'. However, this is a more fun version..

Watch it here:

Iktara - Wake Up Sid

Playback - Amitabh Bhattacharya & Kavita Seth

Music - Shankar - Ehsaan - Loy

Lyrics - Javed Akhtar

Awesome song, awesome music & lyrics (especially the piano & violin in between verses) & extremely well sung with full feeling is what defines Iktara..

Wanted to try and write my interpretation of this song.. but stumbled upon a very well written note posted here by Amitabh Iyer which is a nice read and good explanation of the song..

My favorite lines from the song are:

Orey manva tu to bavra hai
Tu hi jaane tu kya sochta hai
Tu hi jaane tu kya sochta hai bavre
Kyun dikhaye sapne tu sote jaagte

Sun rahi hoon sudh budh khoke koi main kahani
Poori kahani hai kya kise hai pata
Main to kisiki hoke yeh bhi na jaani
Ruth hai ye do pal ki ya rehgi sada
kise hai pata… kise hai pata


No one knows the future.. no one knows what's going to happen and only few can try and predict - to believe it is each one's faith :)

The song comes at a point in the movie when Ranbir Kapoor leaves Konkona Sen's house to go back and live with his parents.. and she is wondering what to make out of her feelings for him and will he ever feel like that..

It's a nice listen.. catch it here and if you're a huge fan of the song.. join the fanpage on FB :)

Shukran Allah - Kurbaan

Playback - Sonu Nigam, Shreya Ghoshal & Salim Merchant

Music - Salim - Sulaiman

Lyrics - Prasoon Joshi

Shukran Allah is a song that's peaceful, melodious & features Sonu Nigam who makes the song a winner any way :)

It's got a bit of Urdu/Arabic & English which explains what Shukran Allah means. It means thank God or the Almighty..

It's a love duet with a good blend of the flute, guitar, sounds of a payal jingling and some bit of the tabla - all in all it's a good mix and soothes the ear..

Some of my favorite lines are:

Tere saaye mein mili har khushi
Tere marzi meri zindagi
Le chal tu chaahe jahaan

In your shadow and whatever you wish, is my wish.. take me where you want..

Meri aankhon mein nazar teri hai
Meri shaam o sher teri hai
Tu jo nahi to main kahaan

In my eyes, you're always present
You form part of my day and world
If you're not there, then I'm lost..

Khil gayi meri kismat
Paake teri yeh chaahat
Hum pe meherbaan do jahaan

It's my good luck that I have your love.. and someone's being kind :)
Thank God..

Personally, I thought the Saif-Kareena pairing had more of a hype quotient than the so called 'chemistry'.. Saif looks worn out and old.. Kareena Kapoor looks just about ok.. but all said and done, Karan Johar has learnt the art of making films out of the "romance" genre and is producing some good movies (Wake up Sid, My Name is Khan - looks interesting) .. going the Yash Raj way :)

Shukran Allah is one of my favorite tracks.. and will be for quite a while :)

Wake Up Sid (Club Mix) - Wake Up Sid

Playback - Shankar Mahadevan backing vocals by Loy Mendonsa

Music - Shankar - Ehsaan - Loy

Lyrics - Javed Akhtar

Energy, fun, foot tapping music and life is what the club mix of the title song of Wake up Sid brings out. It's a song for all the sleepy heads out there (me included :) ) to wake up and get going!!

It's also about getting your life on track and getting a hold of things after the easy going, pampered life we lead in our school and college days and coming to terms with reality.. learning to fulfill our needs ourselves and being less dependent on our parents.

It's a feel good song to wake you up and the video of this song is just outstanding & Ranbir Kapoor looks too cute .. watch it here:

Hadippa - Dil Bole Hadippa

Playback - Mika Singh & Sunidhi Chauhan

Music - Pritam

Lyrics - Jaideep Sahni

Rani Mukherji's makeover song (having lost oodles of weight), Shahid Kapoor's good item number(could have done with a better hair cut!) and overall, a nice foot tapping number.. full on Punjabi and well sung by Mika!

Watch it here:

Aahun Aahun - Love Aaj Kal

Playback - Neeraj Sridhar

Music - Pritam

Lyrics - Irshad Kamil

Punjabi, Hindi, English, Awesome music and some fundu lyrics is what makes Aahun Aahun an absolutely fun song! I seriously don't understand why they keep these good songs in the end of the movie with the credits!! Make way for them in the movie!

This is a trend I guess Farah Khan started with her debut movie as director - Main Hoon Naa which had a really nice song very innovatively done in the credits.. called Ye Fizaaein.

Back to Aahun Aahun, it's a song picturised on both the Saifs from the movie Love Aaj Kal. One is Saif himself and the other being Rishi Kapoor as a young lad.

Deepika Padukone and the brazilian model (Giselle Monteiro) who plays Harleen Kaur look good.. just wonder why Deepika's lip syncing the male lyrics too!

My favorite part of the song is the signature guitar tune.. and it's just a fun song to listen and dance to! :D

Aahun Aahun actually is an expression of joy and the song is about.. a lover telling his loved one to speak the truth and not destroy his life.. or something like that :)

Kya Karoon - Wake Up Sid

Playback - Clinton Cerejo, Backing vocals by Dominique Cerejo, Loy Mendonsa

Music - Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy

Lyrics - Javed Akhtar

I'll be alright, I'll be alright tu hai to tedhi medhi raahe... is what I'm reminded of when I listen to this track called Kya Karoon from Wake up Sid which I guess because both the songs share the same music composers S-E-L! Guess their style like A.R. Rahman also is getting slightly predictable!

All said and done, Kya karoon is a fun song, catchy beats and will make you want to groove to the song, tap your feet and shake your head a bit :)

Love the harmonica and guitar music which features regularly in the song..

Wake up Sid is a romantic movie starring Ranbir Kapoor and Konkona Sen Sharma in lead roles.. interesting pairing which generated a lot of curiousity must say..

It's about a boy Sid who wakes up and I guess gets a hold on his life and wakes up to his responsibilities... will wait and watch!

In the mean while.. enjoy the song!

Chor Bazaari - Love Aaj Kal

Playback - Neeraj Sridhar

Music - Pritam

Lyrics - Irshad Kamil

Love Aaj Kal was a fun movie.. different with some good moments and some where you're wondering what just happened...!

Like there's a "break-up" party where people are wondering if they should be happy or sad for the couple!

Chor Bazaari is a song which is about an ex-boyfriend and girlfriend painting the town red and going about the city of Delhi, getting drunk, having fun and no inhibitions.. no hard feelings..
Saif and Deepika both look good.. and it's a fun song with a good beat..

Ajj Din Chadheya - Love Aaj Kal

Playback - Raahat Fateh Ali Khan

Music - Pritam

Lyrics - Irshad Kamil

A beautiful song, brilliantly sung with fantastic music is what sums up Ajj din chadheya..
Rahat Fateh Ali Khan somehow just brings magic to any song with his voice and it just catches on.. it may not be like a chartbuster number.. but his songs always linger.. In this song, it's all about how a lover is praying or talking to his lord above that..
Oh my good lord.. do something.. listen to my prayers also and give me the one I love..

Ajj din chadheya, tere rang warga
Phool sa hai khila aaj din
Rabba mere din ye naa dhale
Wo jo mujhe khwab mein mile
Usse tu laga de ab gale, tennu dil da vaasta
Rabba aaya dar de yaar de
Saara jahaan chhod chhad ke
Mere sapne sawar de
Tennu dil da vasta

It's a new day that has risen which has the glow of your face..
It's a day which is blossoming just like a flower..
And Oh lord, don't let this day pass, the person I met in my dream, you give them a hug, you have my heart's promise :)

Listen to my prayers and make my dreams come true..

Baksha gunaho ko
Sun ke duwao ko
Rabba Pyaar hai
Tune sab ko hi de diya

You forgave people's mistakes after listening to their prayers by giving them love..

Meri bhi aahon ko
Sun le duwao ko
Mujhko woh dila mene jisko hai dil diya

Listen to my prayers too and give me the one I love..

Manga jo mera hai
Jata kya tera hai
Maine kaun si
tujhse jannat manga li

I've asked for what is mine, what do you lose if you give it to me? Not like I've asked you for the universe :)

Kaisa khuda hai tu
Bas naam ka hai tu
Rabba jo teri itni si bhi na chali

What kind of a lord are you.. is it just namesake that you couldn't do even this much..

Chahiye Jo mujhe
Kar de tu mujhko ata

Give me what I want..

Jeeti rahi saltanat teri
Jeeti rahe ashiqui meri

May you be oh so powerful always.. and my love always live..

Dede mujhe zindagi meri
Tenu dil da vasta

Give me my life.. you have my heart's promise..

Rabba mere din yeh na dhale
Woh jo mujhe khawab mein mile
Use tu lagede abb gale
Tenu Dil da Vasta....

Oh I love this song :)

Listen to it here.

Khudaya Ve - Luck

Playback - Salim Merchant

Music - Salim-Sulaiman

Lyrics - Shabbir Ahmed, Anvita Dutt Guptan

The movie 'Luck' came and went.. decent starcast with Imran Khan and star child debutante Shruti Hassan & Sanjay Dutt amongst many others.. guess Luck didn't prove so Lucky indeed.

Khudaya Ve is a slow song with nice musical notes..(love the guitar piece). It's about how love can at times be awkward, painful and how relationships are as delicate as thread and sand in one's hand..

Song with a lot of meaning.. watch it here:

Pehli Baar Mohabbat - Kaminey

Playback - Mohit Chauhan

Music - Vishal Bharadwaj

Lyrics - Gulzar

Soft love song, slow, melodious notes and melody by Mohit Chauhan is what makes this song a hit on my list :)

It's about being in love for the first and last time..
Pehli baar mohabbat ki hai, akhri baar mohabbat ki hai

It's about being in love and the moments of joy and togetherness spent.. be it good or bad .. happy or sad.. whether or not it makes sense :)

Khwaab Ke Bhoj Se Kap Kapaati Huyi
Halki Palke Teri Yaad Aata Hai Sab
Tujhe Gud Gudaana Sataana Yuhi Sote Huye
Gaal Pe Tipana Michana Bewajah Besabab
Yaad Hai Pipal Ke Jiske Ghane Saaye The
Hamane Gilhari Ke Jhoote Matar Khaaye The
Yeh Barqat Unn Hazrat Ki Hai
Pehli Baar Mohabbat Ki Hai, Aakhari Baar Mohabbat Ki Hai

Besides the lyrics, I love the high notes in between verses and the guitar music which gives a Rock/Metal kind of feel and just uplifts the song for the moment..

Nicely blended song I'd say.. must listen.. looking forward to watching Shahid, Priyanka and them in the movie.. Sad it ain't releasing in this part of the world just yet!

Nevertheless, Pehli baar mohabbat ki hai.. aakhri baar mohabbat ki hai.. listen to it here!

Mere Sang (Remix) - New York

Playback - Sunidhi Chauhan

Music - Pritam

Lyrics - Sandeep Shristava, Junaid Wasi

An old saying says, "Behind every successful man is a woman" and similar is the context of the song in the movie. It's all about how John Abraham is recovering from the trauma he goes through in jail because of false accusations due to his religion and the song's about Katrina Kaif who plays his wife helping him get out of that state of mind..

It's all about the support you give your loved ones in tough times of their lives..

The remix is nicer.. got a nice beat to it and is just a feel good song..

It's got moments where they go 'Hai Junoon'.. which I like :)

Mere Sang is a song you want to sing along with.. so here goes.. sing along!
Mere Sang Toh Chal Zara Kyun Dhike Dara Dara
Chal Tujko Aa Chupalon Apni Main Bahoon Mein
Chal Khwaab Kuch Sajaa Dun Teri In Nigahon Mein

Main Jo Sang Hun Tere Rang Hun
Raho Se Teri Chun Lu Mein Khwaab
Har Lamha Yu Guzare Ke Kehana Na Chahe Pyaar

Hum Huma Hey Yaa… Hum Huma Hey Yaaa…
Hum Huma Hey Yaa… Hum Huma Hey Yaaa…

Ohhu Ohhhhhoooohh…
How Can I Love You More?
Ohhuu Ohhhhhooohhh
How Can I Love You More?
How Can I Love You More?

Haske Zara Saath Teri Hassi Se Mile Kal Ho Hassi
Bas Itna Chahon Mein Is Zindagi Se Zyaada Kuch Nahin
Mein Jo Sang Hun Tere Rang Hun
Raho Se Teri Chun Lu Mein Khwaab
Har Lamha Yu Guzare Ke Kehana Na Chahe Pyaar


Hum Huma Hey Yaa…
Hum Huma Hey Yaaa…

Rukna Na Rahon Mein Rokey Agar Kal Tujhe Parchaiyan
Sang Tere Mein Bhi Hun Tanha Nahi Hai Teri Tanhayian
Mein Jo Sang Hun Tere Rang Hun
Raho Se Teri Chun Lu Mein Khwaab
Har Lamha Yu Guzare Ke Kehana Na Chahe Pyaar

Mere Sang Toh Chal Zara Kyun Dhike Dara Dara
Chal Tujhko Aa Chupalon Apni Main Bahoon Mein
Chal Khwaab Kuch Sajaa Dun Teri In Nigahon Mein

Mein Jo Sang Hun Tere Rang Hun
Raho Se Teri Chun Lu Mein Khwaab
Har Lamha Yu Guzare Ke Kehana Na Chahe Pyaar

Hum Huma Hey Yaa… Hum Huma Hey Yaaa…
Hum Huma Hey Yaa… Hum Huma Hey Yaaa…

How Can I Love You More???
Ohhhuuu Ohhhhhoooohhhh

Ye Dooriyan - Love Aaj Kal

Playback - Mohit Chauhan

Music - Pritam

Lyrics - Irshad Kamil

Distances make love fonder..
Distances make people ponder..

Is this what is meant to be, or is this how it should be..
This is what I want, but is this how we thought it would be?

Dooriyan, a painfully nice track from Love Aaj Kal sung by Mohit Chauhan is on my current favorites list.. Full of emotion, melody and nice music.

Nice song, nice lyrics. Listen to it here & sing along..

Yeh Dooriyan..
Yeh Dooriyan..

Yeh Dooriyan
In Raho Ki Dooriyan, Nigahon Ki Dooriyan
Humraho Ki Dooriyan, Fanaa Ho Sabhi Dooriyan

May whatever distances there are, get destroyed

Kyun koi paas hai, Door Hai,
Kyun Koi Jaane Na , Koi Yahan Pe
Aa Raha Paas Ya Door Main
Ja Raha Janoo Na Main Hu Kahan Pe

Someone is close, but far, no one knows if I'm getting closer or further..
I don't know where I am

Yeh Dooriyan
In Raho Ki Dooriyan, Nigahon Ki Dooriyan
Humraho Ki Dooriyan, Fanaa Ho Sabhi Dooriyan

Ye Dooriyan.. ye dooriyan.. ye dooriyan

Kabhi Huwa Yeh Bhi, Khali Rahon Pe Bhi
Tu Tha Mere Saath ,
Kabhi Tujhe Milke, Lauta Mere Dil
Yeh Khaali Khaali Haath
Yeh Bhi Hua Kabhi, Jaise Hua Abhi
Tujhko Sabhi Mein Paa Liya

There was a time, when on empty paths, you were with me
We met and then my heart was right where it was meant to be
Now is another time, when my hands are empty like now
And I found you in everyone around...

Tera Mujhe
Kar Jaati Hai Dooriyan Sataati Hai Doorian
Tarsaati Hai Dooriyan Fanaa Ho Sabhi Doorian

Kaha Bhi Na Maine, Nahin Jeena Maine
Tu Jo Na Mila
Tujhe Bhule Se Bhi, Bola Na Main Yeh Bhi
Chahu Faasla
Bas Faasla Rahe Banke Kasak Jo Kahe
Ho Aur Chahat Yeh Jawan

Teri Meri
Mit Jani Hai Dooriyan Begani Hai Doorian
Hatt Jani Hai Dooriyan Fanaa Ho Sabhi Doorian

Kyun Koi Paas Hai, Door Hai
Kyun Koi Jaane Na , Koi Yahan Pe
Aa Raha Paas Ya Door Mein
Ja Raha Janoo Na Mein Hu Kahan Pe

Yeh Dooriyan
In Raho Ki Dooriyan Nigahon Ki Dooriyan
Humraho Ki Dooriyan Fanna Ho Sabhi Dooriyan

Dhan Te Nan - Kaminey

Playback - Sukhwinder Singh, Vishal Dadlani

Music - Vishal Bharadwaj

Lyrics - Gulzar

Ready, steady, go! That's what this song reminds me of..
Fast, head shaking and catchy is how I'd describe Dhan Te Nan.

It's a good blend of fast music, rhythm and some lyrics which talk about the game of money and how these guys want to find some way of a striking good luck that night!

Aaja aaja kal nichode..
Raat ki Matki tode
Koi good luck nikale..
Aaj ghulak to fode.

Are are re re
Dil dil dara
Mera teli ka tel
Kodi kodi paisa paisa
Paise ka khel

Find lyrics of the full song here.

Kaminey in my opinion will be a make or break kind of movie for Shahid Kapoor.. it's a double role and a Vishal Bharadwaj film who has a reputation of unusually nice hindi films..

Omkara was his last big movie which got the ball rolling for Saif Ali Khan too!

Let's wait and watch how the film does at the box-office.. in the mean time, Dhan Te Nan it is :)

Twist - Love Aaj Kal

Playback - Neeraj Sridhar

Music - Pritam

Lyrics - Irshad Kamil

If 45 retakes is what it takes to make a fantastic song.. with Saif Ali Khan finally getting the moves right.. so be it!

We Twist is a song that's been composed with the help of the Nagin tune of the Mann Dole song by the legend Hemant Kumar along with a lot of beats and dance music.
I think Pritam as a musician is a good guy who makes some good music after a lot of "inspiration" from other artists :P

But on a more serious note.. I think he does indeed come up with some great compositions.. inspired or original.. the music rocks!

We Twist is a song that's foot tapping.. for sure.. love the dhol music and the way it's sung.

High energy and rhythm by Neeraj Sridhar.. well done I'd say!

My favorite lines from the song are:

(The rap in the beginning of the song!)

Let's have some raunak shaunak, let's have some party now
(Raunak shaunak, party sharty, dole shole and the likes.. just a style of speech to add some rhyming words to what you're actually trying to say :) )

Let’s Have Some Ralla Rafta

Round De Chak Hey Round De Chak
(whatever that means!)

Let’s Have Some Dhol Dhamaka
Let’s Call The Dholi Now
Let’s Have Some Matti Tappa
(Punjabi music, Bhangra and the likes.. are just so much fun.. full of energy)

Chalo Chalo Ji Lak Lak Ga Lo
Chalo Chalo Ji Mauj Mana Lo
Chalo Chalo Ji Nach Lo Gaa Lo
Pakad Kisi Ki Wrist
And We Twist We Twist!

The song's a sure winner.. and I'm waiting to see this song on the big screen :)

Catch a snippet of the video here :


... and this completes my 200th post!! :D

Hai Junoon - New York

Playback - KK

Music - Pritam

Lyrics - Sandeep Shristava, Junaid Wasi

Sometimes you just love the pulse of a song.. Hai Junoon is that kind of a song.. which you listen to and just feel good.. !

It's thoroughly inspiring and full of life.. a song that can make your mood doubly nice.. and make you move your head and probably even sing along :)

It's that kind of a song which describes how people just go with their passion, their heart felt thoughts and just go with the flow because of their Junoon.. and then don't worry about circumstances.. good or bad!

[Yaaron Anjano ki fikar
Na karti yeh umar
Phir bhala kyun daro]

And then..it's about how you lose touch with friends after your college life (reminds me of another college kinda song (Purani jeans aur guitar).. and then one fine day you meet up and just find that connect from the good old days.. how do you deal with that moment of mixed emotions? Hai Junoon... if you want to, you can :)

[Kabhi jo milenge raste
Pal mein hi chamke gi hasi purani
To Kaho Kya kahoge phir humein
Kaise chupaoge nami yeh palko ki

Yeh bata hai kya hua
Hua hai kyon Bataa

Yaaroon !!]

Live life to the fullest, keep the faith in your self, life will be good.. keep the fire & baby in you alive!!

[Yaaro Jee bhar ke jee le pal
Lagta hai aaj kal Daur apna aayega

Yaaro Jo khud pe ho yakeen
Jo zindagi Haseen
Tujhe kal bulayega

Hai Junoon
Hai Junoon sa Jeene mein ]

This song is definitely one of my favorites.. awesome music and just like the "Aashayein" song from the movie Iqbal.. simply brilliant!

P.S. This is my 199th post :D

Om Mangalam - Kambakkht Ishq

Playback - RDB

Music - Anu Malik

Lyrics - Anvita Dutt Guptan

Kambakkht Ishq was a hit song from the movie 'Pyar Tune Kya Kiya' starring Fardeen Khan, Urmila Matondkar and Sonali Kulkarni .. good movie and a fantastic song indeed!

Come 2009, we have a movie with the same title.. which means "Damn Love".
When you're in it.. you're wondering if it's really happening.. when you're out of it, you want to experience it.. somehow, man is never happy!

The song also talks about how people don't want to tie the knot and hence, find ways of staying away :)

Kambakkht Ishq stars Akshay Kumar (looking great and as young..!) & Kareena Kapoor along with some Hollywood biggies in guest appearances.

Om Mangalam was the first song which featured in the promos.. post the long producer-multiplex strike! Thank God the movies are back!!

It's got a catchy tune and the mantra - Om mangalam, Bhagwan Vishnu.. reminds me of Ekta Kapoor serials - donno why..! I guess it's because of the 'dramatic feel' to it.. it's apparently the matra which is used in weddings.

The song's performed by RDB and I think they've presented the song well..
It's got good beats.. and I like the bit where they go..

Kya pyaar kiya kambakkhat ishq
Main to haar gaya kambakkhat ishq
Mujhe maaar gaya kambakkhat ishq
Haaye rabba yeh kya ho gaya

You're my baby but you're driving me crazy boy!

Good tp song.. listen to it here!

Delhi Destiny - 99

Playback - Raja Hassan, Ashu

Music - Shamir Tandon

Lyrics - Vaibhav Modi, Amitabh Bhattacharya, Shabbir Ahmed, Chintan Gandhi

There are milestones in life which people remember only if you actually make it to that milestone.. If you're just an inch away.. no one remembers..

Like if your trekking and want to make it to the mountain top, people remember only if you actually made it to the top..

Similarly, when a batsman gets out at 99 in a Cricket match, people rarely remember.. but if he hits a century, that's when it's all about that moment of glory..

99 is a film which showcases match-fixing in cricket, betting, heart break, thefts in Delhi and a set of 2 people (Kunal Khemu & Cyrus Broacha) who got duped after duping thousands of people themselves in the city of Delhi..

Fun film to watch..

Delhi Destiny is a song that's catchy with a good music beat and reminds me a little bit of Ru Ba Ru from Rang de Basanti.. don't know why :)

Sung by a budding singer, Raja Hassan who made his claim to fame post the TV Show - Sa Re Ga Ma Pa in 2007. I think he's got good style and has done justice to the song.

Look forward to listening to more songs from him..

I think this song's different, a little senseless.. but fun :)
Listen to it here.

Tere Bina - Kal Kissne Dekha

Playback - Wajid

Music - Sajid-Wajid

Lyrics - Sameer

Another painful, romantic ballad to add to the "Tere Bina" list of songs..
This one's a beautiful track from the recently released film 'Kal Kissne Dekha' starring famous bollywood film producer, Vashu Bhagnani's son - Jacky Bhagnani in the lead role...
I wonder how the film was.. but this song is just brilliant.

The nice lines from the song are :
Tere Bina, Tere Bina Lagata Nahi Mera Jiya
Abb Tere Siwa Chale Meri Saansein Na Re Na
Mere Humsafar Phiru Darbadar
Shaamo Seher Dhoonde Tujhko Najar
Tere Bina, Tere Bina Lagata Nahi Mera Jiya
Abb Tere Siwa Chale Meri Saansein Na Re Na


Ek Pal Ki Bhi Judaayi Abb Sahi Jaati Nahi
Marna Jo Chaahu Agar Toh Maut Bhi Aati Nahi
Har Dua Meri Lagti Be asar
Shaamo Seher Dhoonde Tujhko Najar
Tere Bina, Tere Bina Lagata Nahi Mera Jiya
Abb Tere Siwa Chale Meri Saansein Na Re Na


Will definitely be on my playlist for a while to come..
Me thinks it's a must listen!!

P.S. I missed blogging... it's good to be back!

Haafiz Khuda & Kuchh Is Tarah - 8x10 Tasveer

Playback - Mohit Chauhan & Tulsi Kumar

Music - Salim Merchant, Sulaiman Merchant, Neeraj Shridhar, Bohemia

Lyrics - Sameer, Irfan Siddique, Bohemia

Haafiz Khuda and Kuchh Is Tarah are 2 songs with the same music.. that's something new for me in Bollywood music! Same same, but different :)

Sung beautifully by Mohit Chauhan and very well supported by Tulsi Kumar (daughter of Gulshan Kumar).

Both songs are kick started by Mohit Chauhan which is now a common phenomenon between all his songs.. think Masakalli (Delhi 6), Ankhon hi Ankhon (EMI).. some like it, some don't..
I personally think Mohit Chauhan is a fantastic singer.. so what if he is a little repititive.

Delving a little into the lyrics.. I like the lines from Haafiz Khuda which say..

Mujhko Pata Ab Chal Gaya
Now I know

Ke Kitni Rangeen Hai Kismat Meri
How colourful and bright my destiny/luck is..

Darr Tha Magar, Ab Hai Khabar
I was a little scared .. but now I know..

Ohhooh Ki Hai Yeh Chahat Salamat Meri
That my likes are in tact..

Haafiz Khuda, Haafiz Khuda...

Good music, well sung.. and good to add to your playlist!
P.S. The movie apparently ain't so good.. better luck next time Akshay Kumar & Nagesh Kukunoor!!

Aa Dekhen Zara (Lounge Mix) - Aa Dekhen Zara

Playback - Dibyendu Mukherjee, Shweta Vijay

Music - Pritam, Gourov Dasgupta

Lyrics - Irshad Kamil, Syed Gulrez, Anand Bakshi

A musical delight is what I think of this song!
Slow, peaceful and catchy with a good mix of several instruments and a good voice to go with it.

Aa Dekhen Zara is a popular song originally from the movie Rocky (Sanjay Dutt's debut movie)
which is also in the new movie with the same title starring Neil Nitin Mukesh & Bipasha Basu.. Some how the older version has it's own charm..

Watch it here for old times sake :)

Kya Hua Hoo Hoo - Straight

Playback - Suraj Jagan

Music - Sagar Desai

Lyrics - Subrat Sinha

Straight is a movie I'd recommend .. it's definitely worth a watch and I thought it was an enjoyable film. Filmed and based on "Pinu Patel" who is based in London city.. and is trying his luck with getting hooked through an arranged marriage.. but ultimately finds love!

Starring Vinay Pathak, Gul Panag, Anuj Choudhry & Sid Makkar.. Straight is a low budget film and worth it for a light hearted film experience :)

(Rediff gave it a 1* rating which is prettyyyy low!)

Kya Hua Hoo Hoo is a song which is about confusion ..
What to do, what to say,
What not to do and what not to say!

It's got this jazz kind of music and sung well.
Somehow it reminds me of a song called "Jabse hui hai shaadi" from the Sanjay Dutt - Madhuri Dixit film (Thanedaar).. which is about the fear of the to do tasks post marriage :)

Kya hua hoo hoo is worth a listen.. catch it here.

Delhi 6 - Delhi 6

Playback - Blaaze, Benny, Viviane, Tanvi, Claire

Music - A.R.Rahman

Yeh dilli hai mere yaar.. bus ishq mohabbat pyar..
It's all about the way the people of Delhi are.. happy with the way they are.. doing their own thing.. and it's all about loving your loved ones for what they are.

I like the attitude in the song Delhi 6.
It's got oomph, style and the right amount of attitude..
The nice beat of the electronic guitar to trigger the song.. and then the foot tapping beats..

Hats off to A.R. Rahman.. he somehow comes up with unusual music which just catches on!

Delhi 6 is definitely worth a listen..!

Arziyan - Delhi 6

Playback - Javed Ali & Kailash Kher

Music - A. R. Rahman

Lyrics - Prasoon Joshi

Tumse kya mangoon, tumhi samajhlo..
Maula mere maula..

In life, sometimes we find it difficult to understand what we are going through and are unable to arrive at a solution to our problems, confusion and other such 'life issues'.
That's when you pray or surrender yourself to the one above and tell him to understand and help you out.. to fix your problem :)

Delhi 6 has such awesome music.. but in my opinion, the songs are wasted in the film.
They could've done a much better job with the way the songs featured and were filmed..

However, I really do like Arziyan.. and I have to admit, it's after the release of the film and me listening to the song much later. I guess it just grows on you after a while and you start appreciating the music.. fantastic use of instruments + the qawalli touch make the song a winner.

I don't understand the lyrics too much but I do like the feel of the song.. makes me feel good.

Tennu Le - Jai Veeru

Playback - Omer Inayat

Music - Bappa Lahiri

Lyrics - Sameer

To start with, we've got one more Pakistani singer who's made their big Bollywood break.. welcome Omer Inayat. I think he's got real good talent as a singer and can modulate his voice very well and adapt well to both, English & Hindi.. and not to forget Punjabi in Tennu Le!

He does remind you just a little bit of Atif Aslam who is also another famous Pakistani singer - of Woh Lamhe & Doorie fame.

Omer Inayat is a young singer and Lawyer by profession.. find more info about him here.

The music of this song is composed by Bappi Lahiri's son Bappa Lahiri who made his debut as solo composer for Jai Veeru (starring Fardeen Khan, Kunal Khemu, Dia Mirza amongst others) which is about 2 friends on opposite sides of the game of life :)

I wonder how the film will be.. but Jai Veeru reminds me only of Sholay and Dharmender & Amitabh Bachchan.. nobody can replace the work the 2 stalwarts of Bollywood did in that film.

Back to Tennu Le.. It's got a nice hip-hop feel and can make you groove to the music..
I also like the lines..

You Got something,
Something about you Girl
My Heart Saw Some thing,
Whenever you r around,
My world goes upside Down..
(I guess that's what you feel when you're in love.. and don't know what to do?)

Tenu LeKe Jaana, Apne Naal
Nahi Jeena, Hun Yaara..Inhe Saal..
Adhi Raat, Neend na aave..
Dil nu chain TadpaAave
Adhi Raat, Neend na Aaave..
Dil nu chain Tadpaave..

It's a nice song to sing along to.. find the full song here.

Khudaya Khair & You Get Me Rocking and Reeling - Billu

Playback - Soham Chakrabarthy, Akriti Kakkar, Monali Thakur
Reprise version - Abhijeet

You Get Me Rocking & Reeling (Playback) - Neeraj Sridhar & Dominique

Music - Pritam

Lyrics - Gulzar

A much awaited film, SRK's big venture and big release post Rab Ne Banadi Jodi which didn't do much for him at the box-office.. that's Billu (shortened name from the original Billu Barber because of all the controversy and upset Barbers)..

Khudaya Khair is a very sweet, melodious song which is like the "Dream sequence" of Bollywood movies where Lara Dutta dreams of Shahrukh Khan visiting her home, she living a life of a happy housewife and the likes!

It's a pleasant song which you would want to listen to..
There are 3-4 more versions of the song.. of which one features Priyanka Chopra in an "item number" which is called You Got Me Rocking and Reeling.. it's got it's own charm though..
Khudaya Khair is sung by Monali Thakur of Indian Idol 2 fame.. (the zara zara touch me voice of the movie Race).. it's nice to see so many new singers getting an opportunity in Bollywood and some good that's coming out of the numerous reality shows on TV!!

I think - it's worth a listen!

Genda Phool - Delhi 6

Playback - Rekha Bhardwaj & Backing Vocals : Sujata Majumdar, Shradha Pandit, V.N. Mahathi

Music - A.R. Rahman

Lyrics - Prasoon Joshi

Genda phool is actually a flower without which Hindu rituals are kind of incomplete..It's also called the French Marigold (Tagetes patula) and belongs to the daisy family of flowers.

In context to Delhi 6, Genda phool seems like a pre-wedding song where the girl has the jitters of dealing with her mother-in-law, brother-in-law and all the others who could be what we call 'evil in-laws' as shown in older hindi films and also television serials..

The concept of the song reminds me of the song from Yash Chopra's Chandni called 'Main sasural nahi jaoongi' where the to be bride's cousin is mimicking members of the groom's family at one of the wedding functions :)

Genda phool has some unusually interesting nakhras in the song like the oye hoye oye, Rekha Bhardwaj's nasal vocals.. the nice beats (like the sound of ghunghroos), some that have a hip-hop feel to it and the sounds like a whistle and foot tapping beat!

Great mix of various components and I think brilliantly executed.. A.R. Rahman after all!

If you like unusual music, you'll like Genda phool for sure.. and if you're not, you'll listen to this song after watching it in the movie :)

Yeh Zindagi Bhi - Luck By Chance

Playback - Loy Mendonsa & Shekhar Ravjiani

Music - Shankar - Ehsaan - Loy

Lyrics - Javed Akhtar

Life is beautiful.. its full of experiences.. each moment, each day brings you something new or something you've already been through..

You live each day dreaming a little dream of achieving more, achieving all the things you've always wanted.. and somewhere in between this haze of not knowing whether or not you'll actually achieve what you want.. there's something called LIFE which is full of surprises.

This reminds me of a quote which says:
Yesterday is History,
Tomorrow is a Mystery
Today is a Gift and that's why it's called the Present..

So appreciate the small things in life, the quicker you accept what's happening, the happier you can be :)

Ye Zindagi Bhi is the song which features during the end credits of the movie where it implies.. you don't know where life takes you.. but you want to reach for the stars and actually get them all!

I like the lines :

Yeh zindagi bhi
kya kya humko dikhlati hai
sapnon ki dhundli raah mein
yeh zindagi bhi
hamein kaha leke aa jaati hai
ek anjaani si chaah mein
jaane humko kya paana hai
socho kya hai apni manzil
samjhane se kab maana hai
dekho karta zidd hai yeh dil
choone hai… taare isse
chahiye… saare isse..

Find the full song here.

My reco: It's a song that will leave you thinking.. it's soft, thoughtful and got nice music.

Rehna Tu - Delhi 6

Playback - A.R. Rahman, Benny Dayal & Tanvi

Music - A.R. Rahman

Lyrics - Prasoon Joshi

How many times do we like people the way they are?
I guess.. not too often. There will always be that tiny little thing that you might want to change in a person which according to you would be for the better.

Rehna tu.. in my opinion, is a beautiful song which appreciates the person for what they are..

The music of this song is simple but outstanding! Kudos to A.R. Rahman who is totally in action.. winner of a lot of awards for Slumdog Millionaire which is the biggest rage of recent times.

Rehna Tu, Hai Jaisa Tu, Thoda Sa Dard Tu, Thoda Sukun
Rehna Tu, Hai Jaisa Tu..
Dheema Dheema Jhonka, Ya Phir Junoon
Thoda Sa Resham, Tu Humdam Thoda Sa Khurdura
Kabhi Daud Jaye, Ya Lad Jaye, Ya Khushboo Se Bhara

A little good, a little bad
A little sweet, a little sour
I like you just the way you are!

Which reminds me of another fantastic song by Timbaland (I Like You Just The Way You Are)..

Tujhe Badalna Na Chahoon, Rati Bhar Bhi Sanam
Bina Sajawat Milawat, Na Jyaada Na Hi Kaam
Tuhje Chaahon Jaisa Hai Tu

I don't want to change you at all.. not even as much as a pinch of sand..
No frills, no fancy stuff..
Not much, not little..
I like you just the way you are!

Mujhe Teree Barish Mein Beegna Hai Ghuljana Hai
Tujhe Chaahon Jaisa Hai Tu
Mujhe Tere Lapat Mein Jalna Rakh Ho Jana Hai

Tu Zakham De Agar, Marham Bhi Aakar Tu Lagaaye
Zakham Mein Bhi Mujhko Pyaar Aaye

Sometimes, when you like someone, even the pain is like joy.. I wonder...

Dariya O Dariya, Doobne De Mujhe Dariya
Doobne De Mujhe Dariya
Rehna Tu, Hai Jaisa Tu, Thoda Sa Dard Tu, Thoda Sukun
Rehna Tu, Hai Jaisa Tu..
Dheema Dheema Jhonka, Ya Phir Junoon

If you pay attention to the flute music which ends the song - it will take you back to a music piece from the film Swades .. I guess that's A.R.Rahman signature style for you :)
Simple song, sweet lyrics, I like it just the way it is.. Rehna Tu is a sure winner..and I can't wait to watch the film.. looks differently nice.. hopefully, this one will make it big for AB Junior..
My reco : Must listen here.

Dil Gira Dafatan - Delhi 6

Playback - Ash King & Backing Vocals by Chinmayee

Music - A.R.Rahman

Lyrics - Prasoon Joshi

A musical delight is what I think of this track of Delhi-6. Awesome beats of the guitar streaming through and supported by the violon & mandolin (I think) in bits.. Simple, soft and outstanding!!

I like the way the song starts with 'Dil mera'.. and a little bit of the singing nakhra :)
Extremely well sung by Ash King who is an upcoming artist (in Bollywood).. with some pretty interesting work done in the past with Hard Kaur (Look for me - Jaane Kaun Hai Wo)

Find him and his work on MySpace here

Listen to this brilliant piece of work by A.R.Rahman here.

Delhi 6 looks like a promising film with atleast 2 nice songs so far.. and I guess a film 2 people will bank on big time.. Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra (After his last big film Rang De Basanti) & Abhishek Bachchan after a string of flops. Keep listening.. and let's wait for Delhi 6.

Masakalli - Delhi-6

Playback - Mohit Chauhan

Music - A. R. Rahman

Lyrics - Prasoon Joshi

To begin with.. I think A.R. Rahman has just taken over Bollywood with a bang!
We had Yuvvraaj, Ghajini, Slumdog Millionaire & Delhi-6.
Wow.. that's 4 in a row with good songs.. some typical A.R. Rahman and some just beautiful.

My current favorite is Masakalli... it's such a feel good song and is actually about a dove!
Wasn't meant to be part of the film.. but is .. and I'm glad it is..

Picturised on Abhishek Bachchan and Sonam Kapoor with both of them looking nice in the promos.. I like the way AB does the forward hand move :)

It's got nice music especially the harmonica & lyrics too which you have to sing along with .. here goes :

Aye Masakalli Masakalli, Ud Matakalli MatakKalli
Aye Masakalli Masakalli, Ud Matakalli MatakKalli

Aye Masakalli Masa Masakalli, Ud Matakalli MatakKalli
Masakalli Masakalli, Ud Matakalli Matakalli

Zara Pankh Zhatak, Gayi Dhool Atak aur Lachak Machak ke Door bhatak

Ud Dagar Dagar Kasbe Khooche Nukkad Basti Mein yeaaiyeee yaaiyeee

Atri se Mud, Ada se Ud.. Kar Le Poori Dil ki Tamanna,
Hawa se Jud, Ada se Ud, Ud burr burrrr tu Heera Panna Re..

Masakalli Masakalli, Ud Matakalli Matakalli

Masakalli Masa Masa Masakalli, Matak Matak Matak..

hahahaha...

Ghar tera Saloni, Badal Ki Colony,
Dikhla de thenga in sabko, jo udna na Jaane

Udiyo, na Dariyo kar man mani manmani manmani
Badiyo, na mudiyo kar nadaani...

Udiyo, na Dariyo kar man mani manmani manmani
Badiyo, na mudiyo kar nadaani...

Kad Taan le, Muskaan Le.
Keh sannananananana.. hawa..
Bas Thaan le, tu jaan Le.
Keh sansannananananana.. hawa..

Aye Masa kalli Masa kalli, Ud Mata kalli Matak Kalli
Aye Masakalli Masa Masa Masakalli,
Masakalli Masa Kali..
Ud Matak Matak Matak..

Tujhe kya gum,
Tera Rishta Gagan ki bansuri se hai,
Pawan ki guftgu se hai,
suraj ki roshni se hai,

Udiyo, na Dariyo kar man mani manmani manmani
Badiyo, na mudiyo kar nadaani...

Udiyo, na Dariyo kar man mani manmani manmani
Badiyo, na mudiyo kar nadaani...

Kad Taan le, Muskaan Le.
Keh sannananananana.. hawa..
Bas Thaan le, tu jaan Le.
Keh sansannananananana.. hawa..

Masakalli Masa Kali..
Ud Matak Matak Matak Kali..

Masakali Masa Masa Kali
Matak Matak Matak.

hahahahahaha

Love Mera Hit Hit - Billu Barber

Playback - Neeraj Sridhar & Tulsi Kumar

Music - Pritam

Lyrics - Gulzar

Love Mera Hit Hit is a song with extremely unusual lyrics like the title itself - love mera hit hit soniye.. and to add .. the chorus has :

To phir kaise khit pit soniye..
To baby badi fit fit soniye..
Na kar aisi khit pit..

Featuring Deepika Padukone & Shahrukh Khan for the second time after the Box-Office blockbuster - Om Shanti Om which was Deepika Padukone's debut film..

Both of them look nice and fit fit in the song!

The music & singing style which is a little like an echo seem familiar.. but overall a nice song which will catch up with people the more they listen to it!

Watch the video here :

Marjaani - Billu Barber

Playback - Sukhwinder Singh & Sunidhi Chauhan

Music - Pritam

Lyrics - Gulzar

Marjaani is a grandly picturised song with large dance troops, lavish sets & exquisite outfits.
Lots of color, energy and beats is what makes this song a winner.

Shahrukh Khan plays a big star in the film who goes to shoot a film in his friend's home town who is Billu (Irrfan Khan) who plays a barber.. and that's from where we get Billu Barber and how life changes.. and the rest we'll have to wait for the film!

Marjaani features Kareena Kapoor who is one of the 3 top bollywood actresses doing a dance number for Billu Barber .. the other 2 being Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra.

Lots of controversy also surrounded these dance numbers like doing the songs free of charge because it's for SRK.. well.. ya .. such are the stories of Bollywood :)

There's a Kilogram Balkan Version of Marjaani as well which has awesome violon beats at the beginning of the song.. and a much faster version. Also.. sung by K.K and Akruti Kakkar.

My recommendation - must listen.

Jai Ho - Slumdog Millionaire

Playback - Sukhwinder Singh, Tanvi Shah & Mahalaxmi Iyer

Music - A.R. Rahman

Lyrics - Gulzar

Slumdog Millionaire is one film which has been highly talked about in the recent past.. with a lot of involvement of Indians from our very own Bollywood. Namely.. A.R. Rahman, Anil Kapoor, Irrfan Khan amongst others.

Subhash Ghai will not be a very happy man after Jai Ho is topping most music countdowns and charts and has caught on with most people..

Jai Ho was to be part of the Salman Khan starrer Yuvvraaj...

Jai Ho is a song with nice music - typical A.R.Rahman.. with a very nice tempo and feel.
It's also got a bit of Spanish lyrics in addition to the nice Hindi lines.. which talk about spending nights struggling.. and keeping the sleep away :)

Slumdog Millionaire is based on the life of a slum dweller who actually becomes a millionaire on the show 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire'.. and how he falls into trouble because it's hard to believe that a slum dweller knows all answers in a quiz show..

Let's wait for the official Indian release and I do want to watch it.. some people love it, some not so much because it shows a lot of the dark side of Mumbai city... let's wait and watch.. till then.. Jai Ho.. Jai Ho!

Baawre - Luck By Chance

Playback - Shankar Mahadevan & Loy Mendonsa

Music - Shankar - Ehsaan - Loy

Lyrics - Javed Akhtar

Shankar Mahadevan + Javed Akhtar's lyrics + S-E-L's music and picturised on Hrithik Roshan makes Baawre a total musical delight!

Baawre sounds like a Rajasthani folk song in some parts with words like 'maaro, thaaro & baawre'. If you listen to the verses carefully and the music playing along, you'll find some resemblance to the songs of "Mission Kashmir".

All in all, Baawre is a well packaged song and I think Hrithik Roshan is like a dancing god!
Looks great, dances great & just lights up the screen :)

There is a remix version of this song which is also pretty good.. I actually at times enjoy it more than the original composition because of the faster beats!

Luck By Chance is Farhan Akhtar's sister, Zoya Akhtar's debut film as director.. she did contribute to Honeymoon Travels Pvt Ltd as producer and Bride & Prejudice as lyricist!

Multi talented family I must say :)

I am looking forward to watching Luck By Chance.. I think it should be a good watch!
In theaters on 30th January,2009.

Sapno Se Bhare Naina - Luck By Chance

Playback - Shankar Mahadevan

Music - Shankar - Ehsaan - Loy

Lyrics - Javed Akhtar

Sapno se bhare naina... eyes full of dreams.. is what this song is about.
Farhan Akhtar plays a struggling actor and his dream is to make it really big in life!

There must be millions who come to Mumbai (Bollywood) each year in hope that someday, they'll be a superstar.. fortunate or unfortunate - not all of them really make it!

In Sapno se bhare naina, I really like the background score and the beats with which the song starts.. reminds me of Jaane Kyun (Dil Chahta Hai) - similar beats there too.. listen to both songs back to back and you'll know what I mean .. maybe it's a particular instrument which is why it seems similar.

My recommendation - do listen to Sapno se bhare naina & live your dreams!

Songs from 2008...

Mandira Bedi's undying love for cricket with a film now! Skipped the movie.. decent song..

Wow.. that's a whole lot of songs which could have made it to individual posts in 2008.. I guess I just got lazy!!
