हक से Film/Album: Striker Singer(s): Siddharth, Yuvan Shankar Raja Music Director: Yuvan Shankar Raja Lyricist: Nitin Raikwar Length: 5:43 Music Label: T-Series My Rating - 9/10 It's hip! Very modern with lyrics very much realistic and straight out of a 50-cent single! A very promising track, marking the Bollywood debut of ace Tamil composer/singer- Yuvan Shankar Raja...his grainy voice works wonders, I still wonder why didn't come up earlier? Still that track NEETHANE from SARVAM boggles fresh in my head....HIS VOICE haunting me!......If propelled with proper publicity and media.....someone is surely destined to match Rahman's feat in Bollywood, if not cross him!  Lyrics (Translation) Haq se le haq se jo chahe tu rab se Haq se le haq se jo chahe tu rab se (Its your right, with that right, take whatever you want from God) Luck ko tere laga taala, tere paas hi hai chaabi (Lock up your luck, you hold the key to it) Hai lakeeron mein kyun ulja, khele tu to ...

"First of all a HAPPY REPUBLIC DAY to all of  my INDIAN brothers and sisters" Once there was a video, that would embroil my heart and soul towards the television...........this was ...I don't know.....15 years ago....back in that small village in Kerala...where I was unaware about computers or cable television.....All I knew was that.....I would sing along that mesmerizing track....MILEY SUR MERA TUMHARA.....with the most glorious faces of the nation- a young Amitabh (err...in his 40s)...Kamal...Suhasini....Ravi Shankar ji...and the lost goes on,,,,and on....and on.... (whom I couldn't even recognize then...:P). And now, on the occassion of India's 60th Republic day celebrations, THE TIMES group has unwounded a present................PHIR MILE SUR...................A recompilation of that same track.....the same words..............but in a new package.......a new AVATAR.... Yes.....an effort on the part of India's leading Media Group...............a rather....

Story set in the mid-80s! Well that's what wikipedia ensures us. This would be Tollywood heartthrob Siddhart Narayan's second Bollywood film (after Rang De Basanti) and his first as the sole hero! For those of you who don't know, Tollywood is the collective name that defines the Telugu Film Industry . The film also marks Southie Beauty Padmapriya's entry into the Bollywood dome. Though not the perfect entry, yet the film looks promising and fresh off the takes used by AAMIR  (2008). Let's now talk about the music of the film. Ummm.....Lets go song by song.....one by one..... Cham Cham - The opening track of the album is rendered by Sonu Nigam to the tunes of Shailendra Bhavre. The music is kind of repitive, ever since Sufi became a household magma, hats off to efforts by our Bollywood Music directors! The lyrics are pretty much straight forward and gullible. You will love it, if you like soft romantic ballads. Kinda haunting, and coz I loved it, I give it 9 .5 ...

முன்தினம் / मुन्दिनम / Mundinam (Yesterday)  Movie : Vaaranam Aayiram Music : Harris Jayaraj Vocal : Naresh Iyer, Prashanthini My Rating - 9/10 This is definitely one of my all time favourites. Harris Jayaraj deserves more than just a pat on the back for this haunting melody! But then, even he drew the inspiration from George Michael's FAITH....a hit from the yesteryears.....Makes me wonder, where have all those wonderful moments of yesteryears disappeared? Yes! this song really takes a teenager back to the college days of his father, at least it had that effect on me. I could imagine myself back in the eighties, and life really untying all kinds of notes to forego another transcendental trip to the center of my past.....A Past Life perhaps!  A Great track....I have modified the lyrics in the english translation to suit my style....and it is dedicated to someone really really special...........Malini?...naah....thats the character played by Simran in the film.....her...

Another request from Nitesh..... Chal Chale ( Lyrics )  Movie : Woh Lamhe - 2006  Music Director : Pritam Chakraborty Chal chale apne ghar  Aye mere humsafar (humsafar = one who is travelling with you) Lets Go back home, Oh My! Soulmate Band darwaaje kar  Sabse hooo bekhabar  Close the doors and lets lock us from the world outside Pyaar dono kare  Raat bhar tuut kar  Let's make love throughout the night Chal chale apne ghar  hum safar  Lets Go back home, Oh My! Soulmate Chal chale apne ghar  hum safar  Lets Go back home, Oh My! Soulmate Na jahan bheed ho  Na jahan hhar ke log  Where there is no crowd, not a being from this world Na seher mein basee laakhoon logo ka shor  Neither the noise of the million at dawn Chand lamhe tu inse mujhe durr kar  Please take me away from them for a while Chal chale apne ghar  humsafar  Chal chale apne ghar  humsafar  Dooriyan ...

This is response to a request made by Nitesh Ramwani- ( http://euphonicreflections.blogspot.com/2009/11/rishtey-naate-de-dana-dan-ost.html#comments ) Movie – Raaz - The Mystery Continues Cast – Emraan Hashmi, Adhyayan Suman, Kangna Ranaut Director – Mohit Suri Music Director – Sharib - Toshi Song – ‘Maahi’ Lyrics – Sayeed Quadri Singer - Toshi maahi maahi maahi tujhe milke laga hai ye tujhe dhundh raha tha main tujhe milke laga hai ye tujhe dhundh raha tha main After this encounter with you, I felt I was looking for you tujme hai kuch aisi subah sa There's something dawn-like in you jiski khaatir main tha jaga sa For which I was longing until now aa tu mera khwab sajaa ja re Come and make my dreams come true maahi aaja re, maahi aaja re Oh!

Howdy everyone! Its been long since I made any appearance on the blog, thats because I was quite unsure about my blog's readership. Anyway, I have decided to continue writing...err...blogging, coz it provides platform to ease out my views on certain stuff! To begin with, lets just not concentrate on the huge FUSS created over IPL's so-called "invite first and show the door policy" towards the Pakistani cricketers and move over real issues like the earthquake in Haiti and militants getting PARAGLIDING LESSONS . Yes, these should be the center of our concern right now and not some stupid row over cricketers not being sold at the auction center! Haiti, who had even heard of that before that massive earthquake struck this little Caribbean nation? Even though my memories take me back to my Third-Grade General Knowledge class, where I was once asked the capital of haiti, and I hadn't known by then (which by the way, I still don't know..sadly!). When did that ear...

And It cries for some Rain Oh Rain! Oh Rain! Just pour on, My heart cries: Is this Love or a wave triggered by butterflies? Wished once for the most beautiful thing, for myself, But Shut the door whilst the Moon showed up itself. For then I knew, I’d seen You, ‘twas no more the Moon. Oh Rain! Oh Rain! Just pour on, My heart cries: It cries for the wetness to hug my lonely sighs. Coz this long winter hath taken its toll on me, This Thirst for rain has sculpted a poet out of me. As I walk alone by your nest, on this foggy afternoon. Oh Rain! Oh Rain! Just pour on, My heart cries: It happened before but such strong weren’t ties. Oh! Please accept my invitation and come find, This small house of dreams woven by my mind. And as I wait here for You, Please show up soon. Oh Rain! Oh Rain! Just pour on, My heart cries: To get a glint of Hers, do nourish my dewy eyes. So, tomorrow If I tell Her, how pretty is She, I’m afraid she’ll like someone who’s better than Me. ...

अल्लाह ही रहम Song Name: Allah Hi Rahem Film/Album: My Name is Khan Singer(s): Rashid Khan Music Director: Shankar, Ehsaan & Loy Lyricist: Niranjan Iyengar REFLECTIONS Haah! Finally I hear something new and fresh from the Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy trio...after a long time. All their previous attempts have been strikingly similar....from London Dreams to Wake up sid!....all of them.....sound so much similar....I really believed that they should have taken a break but now they come up with this brand new Sufi number for My Name is Khan. Wow! Exactly a year after AR Rehman brought out Arziyan (Delhi 6). What a track? Although it cannot be matched with Rehman's Arziyan, yet this track is able to stand out on its own terms with exceptional lyrics from Niranjan Iyengar and soulful vocals by Rashid Khan....And trust me, this is nothing of the sort that you normally get to hear from The Shankar trio! Great song! Refreshing! and Inspiring! Lyrics (Translation) Allah hi rahem, ...

Top Hits 2009 The last year of the decade has ended at it has not been impressive for 2009 with very few films living up to expectations. Three Idiots proved to be by far the biggest hit of 2009 while Wanted, Love Aaj Kal, Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani and New York proved to be other clean winners where all parties profited from producers, distributors to exhibitors. Some dubbed films from Hollywood managed to make their presence felt like Pralay Ki Shuruaat (2012), Slumdog Crorepati (Slumdog Millionaire) and Avatar but the list below is for outright Hindi films. All Time Blockbuster 1.  Three Idiots Blockbuster - Super Hit 2.  Wanted  - 35 crore share 3.  Love Aaj Kal  - 33 crore share 4.  Ajab P K G Kahani  - 32 crore share Hit 5.  New York  - 22 crore share Semi Hit 6.  Kaminey  - 19.50 crore share 7.  Paa  - 14 crore share 8.  Raaz TMC  - 13 crore share Above Average 8.  De Da...
