Agneepath Director : Karan Malhotra Cast : Hrithik Roshan, Sanjay Dutt, Rishi Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra, Om Puri, Zareena Wahab Music : Ajay Atul MY RATING : 6.7/10 REFLECTIONS Filled with over the top expectations and a promise to fulfil, had I set out on a sunny thursday afternoon to watch the much awaited Karan Johar's Agneepath in the cultural capital of Kerala- Thrissur. After walking around the the Temple round, I finally reached Jose talkies where they were playing Agneepath and damn them to hell... there was crowd just enough to pull off a HOUSEFUL for the first day matinee, which is a big deal for any Hindi movie in Kerala! Okay, let's talk about the film now, since I haven't witnessed the original Agneepath, I won't be comparing the two (which of course is the greatest justice I would be doing to both the films). The typical story of son seeking out revenge from his father's killer is the entire story in a nutshell, but what

hey everyone...i am new to this blog..as, a friend of mine has invited me to write something in it...so here i am translating an old Bengali song...which is definitely a love song...bt the bond of love is between a father and his daughter..father who is very far away from his daughter...maybe he's dead...she misses him a lot..n sings for him in his remembrance ,in Bengal a father lovingly calls his daughter "khuku" of mamoni..even maa coz he sees his mother in his daughter,and daughter calls him baba...this song is truly very touching...so the song goes like this... kaatena shomoye jokhon aar kichhutei bondhur telephone e mon boshey na jaanlaar grill ta te thekai maatha monehoye baba'r moto keyu bole na aaye khuku aayet aaye khuku aaye (the daughter sings... the time just doesnt seem to pass...i dont even feel like talking to my friend on phone am just holding the grill of the window..n it feels as if my father is calling me... come to me my dear daughter c

AAHATEIN Ek mein aur ekk tu Music : Amit Trivedi Singers : Karthik, Shilpa Rao Lyrics : Amitabh Bhattacharya MY RATING : 9.7/10 Reflections The kinda song that you can relate with yourself while moving away from your loved one... I can feel myself singing it as I leave the city of Gurgaon next fortnight... leaving behind someone special... someone who has unanimously become part of my life... rather...has become my life itself! This song develops in the form of a mildly progressive lullaby that sounds somewhat like Backstreet boys' SIBERIA during the bridges... Karthik once again has silkily rendered the male voice while the female voice of Shilpa Rao makes you gel with the mood created by the song. I really didn't like Amit Trivedi's music (people praised him for his previous works), but now I am forced to change my mind. At first, I thought the music was given by Pritam or Vishal Shekhar... but hello? Amit Trivedi... really? Wow! Has off! Once again... de

Phoolon Jaisi (Like Flowers)   Music Director: A R Rahman Lyricist: Javed Akhtar Singer(s): Clinton Cerejo, Kalyani Menon MY RATING : 9.9/10 Reflections  Aah... the song that first hit the center spot on my heart back in 2010... well indeed OMANA PENNE (Darling Girl) was the first track ... rather the only track I had heard until watching the movie... so, much before Hosanna, Mannipaaya, Anbil Avan & Aaromale had made the impact... Omana Penne used to be my favorite...and now here you are...with the hindi version of Omana Penne ... PHOOLON JAISI (Like blossoms) and how good is the song? Well considering the sorrowful fact that benny Dayal isn't singing the hindi version, but Clinton Cerejo has done a wonderful job as the replacement and in fact I guess I have loved this more than the original one. Another song that has a special FEEL to it... and yes... once again... this one's for the most special person in my life... (she knows it's her I am talking

Once again, like last year my list is dominated by Rahman's tracks. Don't get me wrong but those tracks are indeed the best ones. Had all the songs of Ek Deewana tha been released before the year end, the top ten would have all songs of Ek Deewana tha... but for the time being.. let's just be happy with Hosanna. Here's my top songs from 2011 that I loved. Enjoy! Track Album THE BEST 1 Hosanna Ek Deewana tha 2 Tum Ho Rockstar 3 Rabba mei to mar gaya Mausam 4 Abhi Mujh mei kahi Agneepath 5 Kun Faaya Kun Rockstar 6 Saadda Haq Rockstar 7 Ishq Sufiyana The Dirty Picture 8 Jo Bhi mei Rockstar 9 Why this Kolaveri di? 3 10 Ik tu hi tu Mausam THE REST 11 Sadi Gali Tanu Weds Manu 12 Sheher Mein Rockstar 13

Hosanna Singers: Leon D’Souza, Suzanne & Blaaze Movie : Ek Deewana Tha Song Writer: Javed Akhtar, Blaaze Composer: AR Rahman MY RATING – 10/10 Reflections First of all... I wasn't really expecting much of an adore from the hindi version of my all time favorite tamil song, but hey... as on many occasions before... my deduction has been negated... yet again! Hosanna... starts off the same way it does in the tamil version... “Had I two hearts..I's d let you break my second heart too” ...this time we hear a new voice altogether...in words that are somehow more catchy and reverberating than the original tamil ones. Leon D'Souza peps out a more silky voice (compared to the haziness of Vijay Prakash). And as the song progresses, you will feel younger and dancing like the deewana (that I am.. gotcha :P)... The rap by Blaaze has been given a total about turn...and sounds more like a sunday mass meets saturday night disco.... which with repeated hearing...will win over yo
