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.
