TUM HO (You are...) Rockstar OST Singer : Mohit Chauhan Music : AR Rahman Lyrics : Irshad Kamil MY RATING : 10/10 Reflections This song is perhaps that one song that has made me fall in love with the movie...therefore I call it the SOUL of the movie....the story....the romance that is....that was... This song... has sown in me... a seed...a story....an inspiration....and as I reflect my thoughts on this song... I have only one person in my mind.. my PAri.. my Angel...Angelica Mendoza...this one's only for you.... You are my story.. my inspiration... TUM HO...Meri Kahani....Meri Prerna....

Jo Bhi Main [ Rockstar OST] Music Director: A R Rahman Lyricist: Irshad Kamil Singer(s): Mohit Chauhan Director: Imtiaz Ali Producer: Dhillin Mehta Banner: Eros Entertainment, Shree Ashtavinayak Cinevision Ltd Cast: Ranbir Kapoor, Nargis Fakhri, Aditi Rao Hydari MY RATING – 9/10 Reflections The song that gets the movie kickstarted! The progressive masterpiece from the master of all masterpieces...AR Rahman! The humming bareness of Mohit Chauhan's voice has been used splendidly by the Master in this track, rather in each of the dozen tracks rendered by Mohit Chauhan for this Movie's soundtrack. The way the track begins in a confused oscillation depicting the different stages in his lives where Jordan (Ranbir's character in the movie) bumbles over his guitar..striking few chords in and out of his fingertips, to get things right... As appalling as the music are the lyrics of this song (once again.. I would say for all the songs in this album!).... thankfu...

ROCKSTAR Director : Imtiaz Ali Music : AR Rahman Lyrics : Irshad Kamil Cast : Ranbir Kapoor, Nargis Fakhri, Shammi Kapoor, Aditi Rao Every time Imtiaz Ali makes a movie, I get filled with extreme curiosity and a vigorous will to watch the movie on the first day itself! Socha na tha created that urge and Jab we met only elevated it. Maybe, it’s the soul-touching music along with the soul-rendered lyrics that give rise to such an urge. Or maybe it’s the impression his movies create in the first trailer itself! But as long as the film justifies the expectations, you don’t want to blame anyone. However, when the film doesn’t live upto that hype, the level of liquid descends in your heart. Love Aaj Kal, despite my craze for the movie’s lead pair & the song DOORIYAN, I ended up spitting at the movie after watching it once. The reason??? Simple enough, the director promised something in his trailers & the songs, but the movie failed to nurture and reap what it had promised. It ...

As once opposed by vicious phenomenon courtesy the great cultural heritge of India (Casteist Hinduism to be precise), on this day of modern era we easily get to see, rather do, people blending together regardless of their creed or caste in holy places like Udupi. It was the first time I had been to the ancestral town of Madhwa Brahmins in almost two decades. I remember my grqndmother talkung about the ways in Udupi back during their era; how the upper caste folks would keep lower caste people below their belts, suppressing the growth of such people in every way possible. Altering the Vedabhyaasa system and reserving it for the privileged elite was one such step. Something similar to what Dan Brown highlighted in his genius of a work, The Da Vinci Code. If there is some kind of a theory affirming the deep rooted evil of casteism then such a tattva is a manipulated one. The original Caste system was simply a way of dividing people on the basis of the work they performed. As far as I know...

Five days and three hours since coming back to my village in kerala, one thing that I have realized is an obvious and basic fact of my nature: Grass is always greener on the other bank. Lol! Talking about banks, i have been going in and out of banks since yesterday owing to account transfers and fund depositions. Even right now, as I am typing, I am breathing the air of another bank in Thrissur. Getting here wasn't a struggle. There is bus service to every nook and corner of the state. Auto rickshaw fares are quite affordable too. But whats not affordable is the way in which people here ply for Rules. There is a protocol for everything and people cry over smallest of defaults. Back in Gurgaon and Delhi, i used to feel that people were so negligent when it came to rules. The fact bothered me so much (especially in the middle of a traffic jam) but now I feel so opposed ironically. I really think that gurgaonites were better off as carefree kinda people for Now I am at a place that is...

Very beautiful song indeed. Ash king gives a fresh stint as we move away from mohit chauhan who is used to sing such numbers.

Shaitaan Movie Review Directed by Bejoy Nambiar Cast : Rajeev Khandelwal, Kalki Koechlin, Gulshan Devaiya , Shiv Pandit, Neil Bhoopalam, Kirti Kulhari, Rajit Kapoor, Pawan Malhotra and Raj Kumar Yadav. Music : Prashant Pillai, Amar Mohile, Ranjit Barot, Anupam Roy MY RATING : 8/10 Source : Times of India A decade back, Anurag Kashyap directed his first film Paanch which, despite being unreleased till date, is perhaps the most popular pirated film of Bollywood. For people who missed Paanch , Shaitan kinda revisits the basic plotline of the film, proving that Kashyap's directorial debut was ahead of its time and one can relate to its theme and treatment in today's times. NRI Amy (Kalki Koechlin) shifts to Mumbai and makes friends with a bunch of urban brats who believe in living life on the edge. The gang includes the loaded KC (Gulshan Devaiya), a drug-peddler Dash (Shiv Pandit), model-cum-aspiring actress Tanya (Kirti Kulhari) and the idler Zubin (Neil Bhoopalam). A ...

Adolecents Album : If not now, then? Artist : Incubus  MY RATING : 9/10   Reflections from directlyrics.com American rock band Incubus are back!

Engeyum Kadhal Engeyum Kadal is one such movie that is very pleasing to watch , it has a very soothing effect .The plot is something very rare . It is a love story...but a different one . Like every love story has a hero heroine and a villain ....lots of fights ....the hero coming in for the rescue of the heroine and all that . In this movie there is nothing of that sorts .Yes of course it has a hero and heroine ...but it doesnt have any villains nor any fights .As far as the location is considered it is just amazing and a perfect one. Paris is known as the city of love..is the best loaction for a romantic movie like this ...A very good work done by the cinematographer....Moreover this movie is a straight ripoff of the english movie LOVE IN THE AFTERNOON(1957). About the soundtrack of the movie ,I would say this the best work of Haris Jayaraj....This movie has all together 7 extraordinary tracks .....out of which one song "Nangai" sung by Richard and written by Vaali is a...
