Jhootha Hi Sahi (Theatrical)

Jhootha Hi Sahi - झूठा ही सही (The Liar's honest/right) Directed by - Abbas Tyrewsla Cast - John Abraham, Pakhi Tyrewala, Anaitha Nair, R Madhavan (Cameo) Produced by - Madhu Mantena, Sharan Kapoor Music - AR RAHMAN (Irshad Kamil - lyrics) MY RATING - 9/10 So waht? I was surprised when I first saw the promo! Of course, everybody would, who has seen John in glam roles is bound to be surprised. At first, I was like...Who's this geeky guy wearing huge specs??? And then! My eyes popped out...Oh My God! that's John....the Persian Malayalee is way out of his HOT BOD shoes and fits perfectly as the LOVEABLE CUTE GEEK...who well...of course...stammers.... Previously titled as 1-800-love....It seems like the director of Jaane tu ya jaane na...Abbas Tyrewala likes to make Hollywoodish stories with totally unknown casts. Hope it works....again....the promo was good...and I expect it to be better than the previous flick - Jaane Tu...(which by the way..I believe is the most ove

Half of My Heart (John Mayer featTaylor Swift)

Half Of My Heart Performed by : John Mayer feat Taylor Swift Album : Battlestudies Genre : Country/Love Ballad/Alternative Rock Best Time Listen to this song : When you are driving alone on cross country highway or at night  MY RATING : 9.5/10  Reflections The regular followers of my blog must be quite aware by now that I'm obsessed with Mohit Chauhan...err..I mean..his songs! :P But there is a reason to this. Whenever I hear Mohit's songs...I am reminded of this great Blues Rock/Pop/Country musician from the West----John Mayer.... I loved his previous album Continuum, but kinda felt that he won't be able to come up with anything better now. He's proved me wrong....released last year (2009).....his album-BATTLESTUDIES' third single HALF OF MY HEART has won my heart....the full heart... This song creates a great mood....and the lyrics simply leave you in thoughts....it's best to listen to this while driving alone on a country road during daytime.....o

Chala Aaya Pyaar (Aashayein OST - Lyrics & Audio)

Chala Aaya Pyaar - चल| आया प्यार Aashayein OST Music By Pritam & Sung by Mohit Chauhan  MY RATING - 9/10  Reflections   A very slow and jazzy track that is sure to touch your soul. I like it more for the situation it creates....A nice track Makes you wonder at this gift that you have - LIFE! Lyrics   khawabon ki lehrein khushiyon ke saaye khushboon ki kirane dheeme se gaaye yehi toh hai humdum woh saathi woh dilbaar woh yaar yaadon ke nazuk paron pe chala aaya pyaar chala aaya pyaar chala aaya pyaar khawabon ki lehrein khushiyon ke saaye khushboon ki kirane dheeme se gaaye yehi toh hai humdum woh saathi woh dilbaar woh yaar yaadon ke nazuk paron pe chala aaya pyaar chala aaya pyaar chala aaya pyaar mohabbat ka dariya dooba nirala jo terah woh paya kabhi na kinara mohabbat ka dariya dooba nirala jo terah woh paya kabhi na kinara jo bekhauf dooba wahi toh pahunch paaya paar yaadon ke nazuk paron pe chala aaya pyaar chala aaya pyaar chala aaya pyaar kab

Mera Jeena hai kya (Aashayein OST - Audio, Lyrics)

Mera Jeena Hai Kya Music - Salim-Suleiman Singer - Neeraj Sridhar MY RATING - 8.4/10 Reflections Fast and energetic track with a strip of melancholy to multiply the vibes given by the music. Lyrics are also quite nicely penned....the song's more like highway song and might suit a transitional journey during the movie.... Like the song...and waiting for the movie...coz its by Nagesh Kukunoor...the one who has inspired me many times before not just with his movies but with his own life!

Kilimanjaro - HINDI version (Robot OST - Lyrics, Audio & English Translation) FIRST ON NET!

Kilimanjaro / किलिमंजारो Robot OST Music - AR Rahman Singers - Javed Ali, Chinmayi, Clinton Cerejo Lyrics - Swanand Kirkire MY RATINGS - 9.9/10 REFLECTIONS I must confess...this post was the most difficult one that I have created for this blog! First I had to go through each word at least 10 times before I could write it down...which is a mammoth task especially when you don't feel like pausing when it's playing! Such is the song's effect on you.... And then..the translation!!! OMG!!! What is this song!!! Meaningless!.... There are words from PUNJABI...BANGLA...HINDI....TAMIL...SANSKRIT...and AFRICAN dialects...!!!!! This song has literaly has no meaning in hindi at least....but who should care about the meaning...when you have such catchy and crazy lyrics and an AWESOME...(read AMAZING and WILD!) tune.....the drums....the voice of Javed Ali and the African hummings n chants during the transition! OOOOOOOOO! oh ho ko....ko go go! lol! it's amazing....With an

Tujhe Bhula Diya (Anjaana Anjaani OST - Audio, Lyrics & Translation)

Tujhe Bhula Diya / तुझे भुला दिया Music - Vishal Shekhar Singer - Mohit Chauhan, Shruti Pathak, Shekhar Rajviani MY RATING - 8.1/10 REFLECTIONS Not the best from the lot. It's yet another loony loner's anthem containing Sufi phrases quelled by a haunting female voice...The only two good reasons to listen to this song are- Mohit Chauhan's amazing voice The tabla backdrop during the transition sounds like Rahman's classy KEHNA HI KYA... The lyrics are pretty good too. Overall...it might go well with the citizens of youngistan...especially when the movie boasts of young hearthrob RANBIR KAPOOR and the suicidal (read PATHETIC actress) PRIYANKA CHOPRA.   LYRICS Naina Lageeyan Baarishan Te Sukke Sukke Sapne Vi Pijj Gaye Naina Lageeyan Baarishan Rove Palkein De Kone Vich Neendh Meri The Rain pouring down the Eyes as it wets the dry dreams......The drowsiness weeps in the corner of my eye....

ARIMA ARIMA / अरिमा अरिमा / அரிமா அரிமா / അറിമ അറിമ Music - AR Rahman Singers - Hariharan, Sadhna Sargam, Benny Dayal & Naresh Iyer Lyrics - Swanand Kirkire MY RATING - 9.6/10 Reflections AR Rahman is back again after a miraculous score in Raavan and Vinnaithandi Varuvaaya with something more amusing to the ears and mind....as you end up asking yourself- what the hell! Is he getting better or is his head hitting the moon??? Coz this music is out of this world. Amazing! Full on Energy! Praises Rajni's robo avatar...and the lyrics are quite amazing as it showcases the might of the Robot as well as it's craving for desires of love and lust. It's THE SONG of ROBOT! The Anthem!  And ARIMA is the Dravidian (Tamil) word for LION! Something that depicts Courage. Don't miss it!!!! Especially the Chorus part...which is the best -   " Sun iski garima...iski mahima.. Dharthi gagan..sab kaampe... Srishti ye poori...chaand aur sooraj iski dhun mei hi naache... Ori

OOps, I'm sorry, i didn't realize I was making this post! I'm sorry...it's just that ever since I have started listening to this track...I have been humming along....continuously.... Ahem...This is the hindi version of the song KAADHAL ANUKAL (Love Microbes) from the Mega Rajni movie- ENDHIRAN (ROBOT in Hindi). As you can already see...I am high...and no m not on drugs (lol..except for d painkillers I am taking for my injured limb :P )...it's the intoxicating nature of this song...that's given me this high! Listen to it....I even loved the video...Rajni looking out of his shoes! The 60 something demi-God looks a mere 30 in this one.....love the locales of the song.... AMAZING! Besides...it's Mohit Chauhan!!!! Ooooo....teaming

Vedic Reflections - Shri VishnusahasranAmam (Introduction)

श्री विष्णु सहस्रानामं ശ്രീ വിഷ്ണുസഹസ്രനാമം Shri Vishnusahasranaamam Lord MahAvishnu - courtesy - ISCKON Shri VishnusahasranAmam literally translates into THE THOUSAND NAMES OF LORD VISHNU , where Sahasra means Thousand and NAmam means names. These are believed to be the narrated by BhIshma Pitamaha on his deathbed during the battle of MahAbhArata. As I run through wikipedia...I found some more vital info... According to the 149th chapter of Anushāsanaparva in the epic Mahabharata, the names were handed down to Yudhisthira by the famous warrior Bhishma who was on his death bed at the battle of Kurukshetra. Yudhisthira asks Bhishma the following questions: kimEkam dhaivatam lokE? Who is the Ultimate Lord of the world? kim vaapyEkam parAyaNam? Who is the one refuge of all? stuvantam kam prApnuyuh mAnavah subham? By glorifying whom, can man attain peace and prosperity? kam archanat prApnuyuh mAnavaah subham? Worshipping whom can man reach auspiciousness? kO dhar

இரும்பில ஒரு இதயம் - ഇരിമ്ബുലെ ഒരു ഇധയം - इरुम्बिले ओरु इधयम - Irumbile oru Idhayam ENDHIRAN OST Music : AR Rahman Lyrics: Kaarki; Lady Kash and Kaarki Singers: AR Rahman; Lady Kash and Krissy My Rating - 8.8/10 Reflections Sung by Rahman and Kash n' Krissy, this sing has become quite popular among the youngistanis from down south. This one's perfect for the dance floor....the kinda songs played late night at Discotheques.....I found it average...coz it's not my type of music.....more like Britney spears' kinda music....which I hate....but since it has gone well with the younger generation, I give it 8.8/10....It's fast...hip and stylish!
