Dhadke Jiya Aloo Chat OST Call - The Band MY RATING - 10/10 Reflections How amazing can a romantic song get? How healing can a song of pain be? How inspiring can the words of depression be? Well... answer to these questions lies in this song... The movie as well as the video reminds me of days in Delhi... Melodious patchwork by Call- The Band... I once again wonder how do these Pakistani rock bands come up with such touching lyrics??? I love this song... and I always wanted to dedicate this song to the one I loved... and now that I have found her... This one's for you... especially the line :  " Ye raasta gum hoga...Ye darr tumhen, hain na Main aaspass hi kaheen hun...Itna yakeen toh, hain na... " And yea... Aftab's simple dressing and Amna's Saffron/Green Ethnic attire reminds me of the two of us... Love this song... and fall in love... and those of you who feel they have lost someone... get up and make an effort... that someone's

Sab Bhula Ke Call the Band MY RATING - 9.5/10 Reflections This is why I love Pakistani rock... almost every song succesfully weaves in the feeling into our minds... unlike it's indian counterparts that mostly fail to deliver... Barring comparisons... let me just praise his track... I have listened to this track while trying to get over someone I had once loved... and truly I always ended up with the perfect closure...   Teri, khamoshiyon mein woh batein hai chupi mujhko choo leti hain woh khala jo youn nikli ho... nami jo aakhon mein thi khuli woh batein sabhi... Lying in your silence… are those mysteries… Touching me… as it passes beside me… The moist tears in the eyes… have unveiled as those mysteries… [chorus] Sab bhula ke phir bhi chala mein duniya ki rasme bhula ke mujhko jo.. himmat mili hi.. mere dilme badhti rahi... Forgetting everything, I am moving… Ignoring all the rituals of the world… Gaining courage within… it increased i

Hey folks! Ek Mithya - a short film I came up with the concept of Ek mithya after watching a hollywood movie called 'THE ECHO' which was itself a remake of an Asian movie. At that time (that was in February 2011), I had titled it A DELUSIONAL, but sadly it kept on falling prey to delays... And then finally one depressing night on the terrace of my old family house in Kerala, I sat down to make the screenplay... for A DELUSIONAL. Completing it within a week, I was quite excited to start the shoot... once I was back in Delhi for my exams. The title changed to EKK MITHYA... EKK driving inspiration from two of the movies that were releasing at that time: EKK DEEWANA THA and EK MEIN AUR EKK TU... Slowly and momentously I began my shoot... after adding few more twist and turns... changing the plot once again... roping in the love of my life... and then I changed my track... minor distractions... street dogs attacking me... and sudden return to Kerala, thereby cance

Tum Jo Mil gaye ho Movie : Haste Zakhma Singer : Mohammed Rafi MY RATING : 9.5/10       REFLECTIONS Haunting! That would be the one word which shall appease my mind the moment this song plays somewhere around me... Rafiji's scintillating silk (read voice) penetrates in the most viscous manner into the heart... creating a strange nostalgia which I cannot explain... probably because I wasn't born at the time this song was made (well... born 16 years later)... It's a very special song and has a enigmatic romance to it... And it has that feel... a cloudy... rainy... long drive kinda feel... Dedicated to someone really special...       LYRICS (English Translation)   Tum jo mil gaye ho, to ye lagataa hain ke jahaan mil gayaa yek bhatake huye raahee ko, kaarawaan mil gayaa That I've got you... I feel that I got the world! These aimless paths have finally found a destiny... Baithho naa door hum se, dekho khafaa naa ho kismat se mil gaye ho, mi
