Music review: Wanted (Hindi – Sajid Wajid)
Everything about Love me is corny and moronic, while Ishq vishq is a confused mishmash where Kamaal Khan seems to have forgotten a huge chunk of his lyrics. Dil leke does have a nice, senti melody,...
View ArticleMusic review: Main Aurr Mrs Khanna (Hindi – Sajid Wajid)
Don’t say alvida is sweet, sappy and very 90s – that Hinglish title is immensely cringe-worthy. Happening, to be entirely fair, has quite a likeable techno-qawali sound…if only it didn’t ape Kajrare...

Music review: London Dreams (Hindi – Shankar Ehsaan Loy)
Barson yaaron is a full-throated, rock anthem with brilliant pauses (Laakh take da) and a mesmerizing finale invoking Lord Hanuman! The choice of vocals – Vishal Dadlani and Roop Kumar Rathod – is a...
