Hindi Songs | De Dana Dan (2009)

In the recent times, there have been quite some quality musical scores like Kurbaan, Tum Mile, Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani and Radio that have managed to make an impact. Most of these have a classy feel to it. In comparison, De Dana Dan has a massy feel to it with numbers like 'Paisa' and title song making a good impression. 'Baamulaiza' and 'Hotty Naughty' don't have a much future though beyond the film's run in theatres. However, if there is a track that would be remembered at least for a few more months to come, it would be 'Rishte Naate'.

There is a very pleasant surprise in store though at the very beginning of the album with Rahat Fateh Ali Khan coming up with an extremely likeable 'Rishte Naate'. A beautiful love song which is set in a mould similar to that of 'Teri Ore' [Singh Is Kinng], 'Rishte Naate' is also elevated further due to some very good writing by Sayeed Quadri. The combination works perfectly well with English rendition by Suzanne Demello being an icing on the cake. The song's remix makes for a good club outing as well with Kunal Ganjawala replacing Rahat Fateh Ali Khan for this version and still giving a good account of himself. It is surprising that such a beautiful sounding track is being released so late in the day when the film is a mere 20 days away from release.

Hindi Songs | Aao Wish Karein (2009)

As stated earlier, it is apparent that the makers of Aao Wish Karein didn't quite have a chartbuster musical in mind when they came together to make music for the film. This is why the mood of the album remains situational for most part of it. Though none of the songs are bad per se, there isn't a hit quality to them either that would make the album sell like hot cakes. Hear it for some soulful moments in 'Kuch Aisa' and 'Sabse Peeche Hum Khade'.

Beginning of Aao Wish Karein is surprising though with 'Sabse Peeche Hum Khade' kick starting the proceedings. This is the same song that Mohit Chauhan had sung and had featured in the film Let's Enjoy. This time around it is Kunal Ganjawala who comes behind the mike for this melodious track that has an old world charm to it. Since the song has been heard over all these years, there is an instant recall value and it doesn't take much time to hum this Ankur Tewari written and composed number all over again.

Later, Kunal Ganjawala comes up with a much slower 'reprise version'. Sunidhi Chauhan brings on the spunk with a livelier version titled 'Sabse Peeche Kyon Khade'. Lyrics are different this time around and are told from the female protagonist's point of view where she gets into a conversational mode with the guy.

Hindi Songs | Kurbaan (2009)

Kurbaan is a quality album all the way and clearly the best that Salim & Sulaiman have offered since Fashion. A difficult album to compose considering the kind of theme that the film comes with, Kurbaan boasts of the kind of sound that is consistent throughout. While quite a few tracks would be noticed more after the release of the film, there are songs like 'Shukran Allah' and 'Kurbaan Hua' that would make sure that Kurbaan makes a good head start at the music stands.

It's a tremendous start to the album, what with Salim Merchant coming behind the mike to open 'Shukran Allah' in a manner similar to that of Kailash Kher crooning of 'Subhan Allah' [Fanaa]. Within seconds, Sonu Nigam takes over and you instantly know why he is simply the best that we have today when it comes to crooning melodious romantic tracks. His trademark silky voice is at play once again in this beautifully composed number which easily finds a place at the top of romantic numbers composed by Salim-Sulaiman. If the 'mukhda' is impressive then watch out for the 'antara' - it proves once again why Indian melody can never ever be out of vogue. Shreya Ghoshal joins the scene three and a half minutes into 'Shukran Allah' and makes an instant impact. This is one song that would be played for a long-long time and is easily one of the best that we have heard this year.

Hindi Songs | Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani (2009)

This is Pritam's year. Period. Delivering chartbusters by dozens all through the year, he can now look forward to another bountiful of hit songs up his sleeves with Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani. Also, Ranbir and Katrina can enjoy a hugely popular track for themselves in the form of 'Main Tera Dhadkan Teri'. Go, pick this one up from the shelves!

Melody returns to the album soon after with Atif Aslam coming together with Alisha Chenoy for 'Tera Hone Laga Hoon'. Written by guest lyricist Ashish Pandit (who does spin a nice romantic tale), this one is a love song that takes one straight to the hills and the trees. A kind of love song that has time and again worked, 'Tera Hone Laha Hoon' has both the singers coming together with some heartfelt rendition that makes it a kind of hear that is quite comfortable on ears. Thankfully, the 'remix version' doesn't go overboard either and keeps the spirit of melody intact.

Hindi Songs | Jail (2009)

Jail won't quite go the whole distance like Fashion which actually had music as an integral part of the narrative and also boasted of more than a couple of chartbuster tracks. However, it does have some decent songs with 'Sainya Ve' boasting of popular appeal and 'Daata Sun Le' keeping those happy who are fans of Lata Mangeshkar and followers of devotional tracks.

Lastly arrives Lata Mangeshkar's 'Daata Sun Le' which is set in the same mode as 'Itni Shakti Hamein Dena Daata' [Ankush]. Seemingly set in a jail with inmates coming together and praying, 'Daata Sun Le' moves at an extremely slow pace, something which suits the genre that it belongs. What amazes though is to hear the 80 year old singer getting the right pitch at various junctures even at this age. No wonder, composer Shamir Tandon doesn't allow many instruments in the background and let's the vocals hold centre-stage.

Hindi Songs | Aladin (2009)

Aladin would have been a difficult album to compose since it doesn't quite fall under the bracket of a regular love story or a rom-com or a period film. Due to this reason, don't expect another Jhankaar Beats or an Om Shanti Om or a Dostana. For a film that has an element of fantasy and myth interspersed in the contemporary times, Sujoy along with Vishal-Shekhar bring together certain situational songs (Tak Dhina Dhin, O Re Saawariya, Bachke O Bachke) along with a couple of theme songs (Genie Rap, Giri Giri) and an out and out romantic number (You May Be).

The thought is dispelled soon after though as the composer duo gets one of the most romantic numbers of the year in the form of 'You May Be'. A lovely melodious track which makes one just stop all work and just concentrate on the beauty of lyrics, music as well as rendition, 'You May Be' is a mix of English and Hindi. This is one contemporary urban love song that remains consistent from the 'mukhda' through the 'antaras' and makes one place it in the repeat mode. For the first time ever, both Vishal Dadlani and Shekhar Ravjiani come behind the mike for the same song and the impact created by their joint outing is just magical. Pick this one up and play it on for the one you love!

Hindi Songs | Love Aaj Kal (2009)

It sounds too good to be true but Pritam seems to have kept all his brilliant compositions on hold between Jab We Met and Love Aaj Kal. Yes, he has had quite a few good albums in the form of Race, Jannat, Singh Is Kinng and Kismat Konnection in the interim as well but his attachment of Imtiaz and his film is visible in the compositions of Love Aaj Kal. It is not everyday that each and every song turns out to be extremely good in an album but that's indeed the case with Love Aaj Kal. This one is going to be unstoppable once it hits the stands!

Love Aaj Kal continues to be unstoppable as it comes up with yet another gem - 'Ajj Din Chadheya'. With Rahat Fateh Ali Khan at the helm of affairs and Irshad Kamil spinning his words well yet again, the song has melody as its forte and doesn't bear any Western influence whatsoever. Bringing on further variety in the album, 'Ajj Din Chadheya' has an old world charm to it that makes it difficult to put the album down. A number that is bound to work quite well in aiding the narrative of Love Aaj Kal while being played in the background, the song is about the protagonist asking God for getting the love of his life.

Hindi Songs | Kambakkht Ishq (2009)

Kambakkht Ishq delivers what it promised at the very onset. A 'masala' outing was very much in the offering and that is ensured by means of 'Om Mangalam' and title song 'Kambakkht Ishq'. Meanwhile, there is also some nice little surprise in place in the form of 'Kyun' and 'Bebo' that make the album a satisfying affair.

As is the case with majority of Akshay Kumar movies, Kambakkht Ishq too has a special song by a guest composer and this is evidenced in the form of 'Om Mangalam' which is composed and performed by RDB with the 'shlok' portion being created by Anu Malik himself. A number which is already en route to be a chartbuster in less than a week of promotion, 'Om Mangalam' is a title song in itself as it has words Kambakkht Ishq being repeated throughout it's four and a half minutes duration.

Hindi Songs | London Dreams (2009)

First things first - The music of London Dreams requires not one, not two, not three but at least five odd listening before it starts growing on you. At first instance the music seems to be going all over, especially due to the fact that most of the tunes are plain unconventional and nothing that one has heard in a mainstream Bollywood film before. By the second instance one starts wondering if the expectations were really worth it as you aspire for something more comfortable and easy on ears in terms of recollection value.

For those who were missing the kind of trademark compositions that Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy are known for, there is 'Khwab Jo'. A serene track that gets into the dynamics of a 'khwab' and how, when, why and where is it actually a 'khwab' and not a 'haqeeqat', 'Khwab Jo' by Rahat Fateh Ali Khan and Shankar Mahadevan is an out and out poetic track by Prasoon Joshi. One wonders the kind of pain that Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy must have gone through in order to spin a tune around the lyrics. A smooth moving number that has a melodic base to it, 'Khwab Jo' sees the fusion of Indian classical with soft rock that becomes more and more apparent as one reaches the song's end.

Hindi Songs | Tum Mile (2009)

2009 is clearly Pritam's year. If he has enjoyed the biggest musical success in the form of Love Aaj Kal then he has also seen a steady success run of New York. If at the beginning of the year he gave multiple item hits in Billu then he has also got some pure and fresh music in place for Tum Mile. In between he has found some good tunes rolling for All The Best and Dil Bole Hadippa too, which re-establishes the fact that he is clearly THE most prolific hit-maker that we have in Bollywood today. This is what he proves yet again with Tum Mile where he gives Bhatts their very own Life In A Metro to be preserved and relished for years to come.

The signature tune that is currently being heard along with the promos of Tum Mile kick starts 'Tu Hi Haqeeqat', which is yet another solo, this time Javed Ali at the helm of affairs. By this time, one realizes that the album is made of all-male singers. In fact this could well be the first ever instance for the music of a film with romance as it's strong point not to be featuring any female voice at all. Coming back to 'Tu Hi Haqeeqat', it is not as strong as the title song or 'Dil Ibaadat' but that's purely on a comparative scale. Rendered by Javed Ali, this one has a core Indian feel to it and is the easiest tune to grasp. Perhaps this is the very reason one looks forward to the songs that follow since in Tum Mile one doesn't expect Pritam to churn out a conventional Bollywood tune.

Hindi Songs | Blue (2009)

Blue is a good album and has all in it to make a good impression at the music stands. In a way, the album comes at just the right time when there is quite some variety in store this Diwali. While All The Best has a rock base to it and Main Aur Mrs. Khanna boasts of a melodic outing, Blue practically mixes up genres and ensures at least four popular songs in 'Fiqrana', 'Chiggy Wiggy', 'Yaar Mila Tha' and 'Aaj Dil'.

The most awaited song of the year, 'Chiggy Wiggy', marks the beginning of the album. Why most awaited? Because it not only has Kylie Minogue singing a song for a Bollywood film but has her making a dance appearance while shaking a leg with Akshay Kumar. During the shooting of the song there was quite some frenzy created about her arrival in Mumbai. No wonder one expects nothing but outstanding in Abbas Tyrewala written 'Chiggy Wiggy'.

Hindi Songs | All The Best (2009)

One expected a decent time pass score for All The Best which would make an instant impression and ensure that audiences are entertained as they play on screen. For this purpose, Pritam does compose songs like 'Dil Kare', 'All The Best' and 'You Are My Love'. However, there is a pleasant surprise in store with '... Martaba' and 'Kyon' turning out to be two of the purest compositions by Pritam and Kumaar that bring in further quality to this album.

Drum beats mark the beginning of 'Dil Kare' that have the cry of All The Best creating the much required rhythm all throughout the song's duration. A number that is set exactly in the manner of 'Socha Hai' [Rock On], whether lyrically, musically or thematically, 'Dil Kare' is a heavy duty rock track that is mounted on a really lavish scale. Suraj Jagan is a good choice for a number like this though one feels that K.K. at the helm of affairs would have further added zing to 'Dil Kare'. Roopam Islam is there as a backup vocalist in the opening number of this album that gets into top gear from the very onset and also gives it a euphoric ending with a high voltage 'remix version'. Expect the track to make it to the DJ's list in a matter of few days from now.
