LOVE ANTHEM Singer : Simbu (STR) MY RATING : 10/10 Reflections I have kinda liked this concept... must say unique in it's way... the word love repeated in over a dozen different languages creating a song of its own... and pumping those synonyms is an powerful cardio Tamil dhol background... Simbu you rock! I found this one much better than Kolaveri di... however sadly... I believe Kolaveri set a cult that has a much larger and rather uncomparable fan following... And a music video that has been created with equal passion... Simbu looks cute as always... a bratty rockstar at some... dashuri dashuri dashuri dashuri salang salang leifde leifde las'ka las'ka armastus armastus rakkaus rakkaus ag'api ag'api lyubov lyubov all we need is love .. aai .. amour .. amour all we need is love .. aai .. amour .. amour all we need is love .. aai .. amour .. amour all we need is love .. aai .. amour .. a

Sharminda Hoon Movie : Ekk Deewana tha Music : AR Rahman Singers : AR Rahman, Madhushree Lyrics : Javed Akhtar MY RATING : 9.9/10 REFLECTIONS This was one of the most awaited song from the Album... The tamil version is one of my all time favorites... but Unlike the tamil version that's titled MANNIPAAYA that means "Forgive me"... the Hindi version was called "Sharminda Hoon" which translates to "I'm embarassed" and I was totally struck with awful feelings... I mean... Why would Rahman settle for such a displeasing title conveying a totally different feel from the original version... But once again... listened to it once... then again... and the first thing that caught my attention were lines by AR Rahman... "Duniya jo chahye kehle...Par tujhko milne se pehle...Khudse bhi na mil saka tha main... Khoya sa tha main uljha sa tha...Ki tujh bin meri na thi koi raahien Meri zindagi tujh bin thi jaise...Oas ki boond...Pa

Voh Dekhnay Mein Film: London Paris New York Singe: Shadab Faridi Music Director: Ali Zafar Lyricist: Ali Zafar MY RATING - 9.7/10 Reflections I must confess, I wouldn't have listened to this song hadn't someone really special been a fan of the guy singing it... Yup... Ali Zafar makes another full-on appearance in this Bollywood romantic comedy with Aditi Rao. And this song happens to be a really good one... and well Kinda in love with it...coz well... it describes "someone" pretty well... and not just Hosanna... there's this song too... and I am in love with it...  Ali Zafar... hawww... there's some kinda jazzy baritone to his voice and has been very well infused with the romantic mood set by the tune... and the lyrics... such light hearted and easy on the listener... yet connecting full-on with your heart... I hope you all like it... esp you guys out there... dedicate it to your girlfriends...(wives bhi chalegi... ;) )  B

Omanichumma ( Fall in Love) Film : Casanovva Singers : Karthik, Vineeth Sreenivasan, Najeem Arshad, Roopa, Kalyani, Gopi Sundar Music : Gopi Sundar Lyrics : Gireesh Puthuncherri MY RATING : 9.6/10 Reflections However I really wasn't longing to see this movie at all... despite being a fan of the kinda movies Roshan Andrews makes... however the title of the movie (Casanovva) was so repelling with Mohanlal playing the protagonist, I really had thi yucky feeling for this movie, despite being touted as the most expensive film made in Malayalam till date! I had seen posters hanging outside packed movie houses across Kochi and Trichur where COME, FALL IN LOVE had been used as the tag line for the movie foregrounding a bulky tummied Mohanlal doing an SRK stand along with Lakshmi Rai & Shriya Saran... but it was not until a couple of days ago when I accidentally came across this particular soundtrack... FALL IN LOVE (Omanichumma)... and the thumping background of this song
