सौ ग्राम ज़िन्दगी / Sau Gram Zindagi Guzaarish OST Singer - Kunal Ganjawala Music Director - Sanjay Leela Bhansali Lyrics - Vibhu Puri MY RATING - 9.1/10 Sau Gram Zindagi Reflections Director Sanjay Leela Bhansali....well yes we know him...he has given many a classics in Bollywood Cinema....and we know his craving for beautiful music in his movies. But I never expected that craze to get so much into his head...that he would he'd go one step ahead and give music himself! Yup Guzarish has Sanjay Sir scoring music himself and this one is a very beautiful track. Very Indianish....has elements of Classical music embossed beautifully on a western note... The song's name is quite funny...but has a very deep meaning. Kunal Ganjawala fits beautifully in the song as he installs soul into the words penned by Vibhu Puri. My best from the album! LYRICS Thodi si meethi hai Zara si mirchi hai Sau gram zindagi yeh Sambhaal ke kharchi hai Asli hai, jhooti hai Khaalish hai,

pollcode.com free polls Rate this movie (out of 5) 1 2 3 4 5    Ram Gopal Varma or the so called- RAMU sir had lost his AAG after his AAG went into PANI...and after years of TAPASYA...he is finally back with a film that is able to keep the veiwer at the edge of his seat and towards the end, crave him to come back for the sequel! For a change, the film is set in Anantapur district of Andhra Pradesh and is based on the true story of Paritala Ravi & his tryst with NTR! Vivek Oberoi portrays the role of Pratap Ravi who's based on Paritala Ravi and carries the movie on his shoulder after the first half. While the first half is swayed away by a brilliant performance by Abhimanyu Singh who plays Bukka Reddy, son of slain Political snake Nagamani Reddy played by South supervillain KOTA SRINIVASA RAO. The Films sets off with the brutal massacre of Pratap's father at the order of Narasimha Reddy, and thus an angry elder son played by Sushant Singh sets out to chop off e

SrinivAsa Kalyanam Directed and Edited by - K Hari Kumar Music - old Telugu film song & G.Ramesh Location - Shri Krishna Temple, Safdarjung Enclave, New Delhi Date - 17 Octiber 2010 Camera - Sony DSC W270   The Legend of Tirumala or popularly known as the story of Srinivasa Kalyanam (the marriage ceremony of Lord Srinivasa) in Southern parts of India, is the most fascinating story behind reincarnation of Lord Maha Vishnu on the Sacred Hills of Tirumala in the form of Lord Srinivasa ( also known as Venkateswara) and the marriage of Lord Sri Venkateswara with Goddess Padmavathi. The Story is so fascinating that it is being told and read in every home of South India again and again with great amount of interest and passion. Lord Venkateswara is so popular in Southern parts of India, that every home has a child named after the Lord Srinivasa or Govinda or Venkatesa or any name out of thousand names the Lord is known with.

A movie about honour killings that have swept the sands of Northern India is what is seemingly the USP of this action packed CBI melodrama. Having watched this movie in an almost empty SRS Cinema hall in Gurgaon, I felt more like at home. Priyadarsan takes a different route this time and decides to put up a Action Investigation film on the lines of Malayalam Sethurama Iyer CBI movies, although, the plot is more fresh and not really a remake of any particular malayalam film, like he used to do previously. The film has been set in a village JHANJHAR in North India, where three young men have vanished and apparently suspected to be killed by their classmates in some medical college in New Delhi. Thus, sets Akshaye Khanna, a very dutiful, thanda & gassy CBI officer en route to Jhaanjhar to track the wrong doers. Funnily, Jhaanjhar is a real village in Haryana, but the villagers speak in Bhojpurish Hindi which is nothing like the aggressive tone that's used in Haryanvi Hindi and t

मेरे बिना (Mere Bina) CROOK OST Music - Pritam Singer - Nikhil D'Souza Lyrics - Kumaar MY RATING - 9/10 Reflections A very romantic western number by new comer Nikhil D'Souza. Pritam has crooned Pop hits by Darius and Enrqiue alike to create a magical ballad that hooks you to its smoothness the moment the song starts. Nikhil sounds like Atif at times, but nevertheless is a promsing find!   Lyrics (English Translation) Mere Bina Rehne laga hun Teri hawaon me Behne laga hun I have started living without you... I have started floating in the breeze that you are jaane main kaise tera hua hu mujhe to lagta hai main shayad tere dil ki dua hu Haan Tujhko jo paaya ahan To jeena aaya Ab ye lamha theher jaye tham jaye bas jaye hum Dono ke darmiyaaaaan I don't know how I have become yours I think I am the boon from your heart Yea! Now that I found you...I have learnt to live Now this moment may stop here at this very moment when the two of us are together

It's funny what you get to see while you are in Indian city of Delhi. Actually you can see such things throughout North India, what kind of things am I talking about??? Well...simple...Breaking laws! =P It's almost like an important rule in life up here...to break laws...be it spitting on the roads or peeing anywhere you feel like or speeding at 100kmph on the wrong side of the road and raping the traffic laws! It's like the birthright of every person in the Delhi/Haryana region to break laws! It's disgusting, and it's shame that its happening in the capital of India and the IT city- Gurgaon! People grow up, learn something from Cochin and Bengaluru!

Song Name: Hello Hello Jhootha Hi Sahi OST Singer(s): Karthik Music Director: A R Rahman Lyricist: Abbas Tyrewala My Rating - 8.9/10 Reflections Hello Hello is a midnight song...something that takes off from Karthik Calling Karthik's title track....with almost the same feeling...and and wonderful rendering by KARTHIK...the singer  lol! This is a good track....by Rahman Sir! HELLO HELLO (English Translation) Hello hello, hello hello Iss andheri kaali raat mein koi Sune to sunaye haal-e-dil pe haal-e-zindagi Hello hello, hello hello Koi jawab do na Jeenay ko khwaab do na Ik dost ka chehra Ya phir naqaab do na Hello hello, hello hello Hello Hello....in this dark night... if someone's eager I would narrate the story of my life.. Hello Hello...someone reply!!! Give me a reason to live.... get me a friend or a mask to hide my face.. Hello Hello! Telephone ki iss dor se, bandhi meri zindagi Koi khol do bas todh do, main choot jaaun abhi Mujhe chodh do,

I have been expecting a lot from this movie and it's obvious from the way I was trying to promote this movie on my blog. It's not just me, It's the entire Southern Part of India, that's been eagerly waiting for the release of this epic. What makes it more special is that, it's going to be my first Rajni padam (film). Although, I saw Baasha at the time of it's release, but then I was a little kid and didn't understand anything. Now, decades later, Rajni Sir is back with Shankar's Endhiran. Endhiran starts off with cute as well as dirty humor which can make the young and old chuckle indifferently. The Robot 'CHITTI' is shown as an innocent learner in the first few scenes and his innocence perfectly gels with Santhanam & Karunas apt one liners. There's special cameo by Malayalam actors late Cochin Hanifa & Kalabhavan Mani and an entire scene with the mosquitoes of Chennai (:P)....and mind it! It's really funny. Rajni as Dr.Vasigh

Cry Cry (Jhootha Hi Sahi OST) Singer(s): Rashid Ali, Shreya Ghoshal Music Director: A R Rahman Lyrics: Abbas Tyrewala Director: Abbas Tyrewala MY RATING - 9.1/10 REFLECTIONS Wow! That's how I begin my REFLECTIONS on almost every Rahman song! This one's no exception....it's a jazzy night time song....very peaceful & melodious alike! Sounds like Abbas Tyrewala hasn't really taken off from Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na.....The song's quite similar to the songs of Jaane Tu...Maybe it's the perfect use of Rashid Ali's silky voice... No..No I am not criticizing Rahman...this one's distinct from the Jaane tu songs..although they are on the same vessel. Cry Cry is a new twisted Angrezi Desi repentance song with the freshness of being jazzy. It's a nice one.... Rotey kaayko hum hey Rotey kaayko hum Why do we cry?? Hona hai jo ho, sad hote kaayko hum Let things happen as they will...why do we get sad?   Cry cry itna cry karte hain kaayko Itn

Jiyo Utho Badho Jeeto ( Oh Yaro Ye India Bula Liya) Music & Singer : AR Rahman Lyrics : Mehboob MY RATING - 9.1/10 Reflections It's total bullshit what the media has resurged with, claiming that the CWG's official anthem is disappointing and off-theme! BULLSHIT BULLSHIT BULLSHIT! It's not like waka waka...you know why??? C oz it's better than that! Its just that Rahman demanded 5.5 crore as renumeration for the song, that hasn't gone well with the 'Critics'. But, considering the fact that more amount in hundreds of crores have been going into the pockets of the OC, this amount seems too little and at least it's been dealt in the open, unlike the OC. The track starts slowly....like an early morning sunrise...when people rise from their beds...and then after a minute or so....the track changes it's pace completely...it's fast and awe-inspiring throughout! RAHMAN rocks....although not as good as Maa Tujhe Salaam. Maybe they should ha

Aakrosh / आक्रोश Filmed by - Priyadarsan Produced by - Kumar Mangat Pathak Starring - Ajay Devgun, Akshaye Khanna, Paresh Rawal, Bipasha Basu, Reema Sen, Amita Pathak Music - Pritam Lyrics - Irshad Kamil DOP - Thiru Genre - Action/Thriller/Drama My Expectations' Rating - 7.9/10 Reflections Well, the genre is clear- Pure action and some are over the top, just like in T amil flicks. Priyadarsan returns to the action genre after almost a decade and half.We last saw him making Gardish which starred Jackie Shroff. The funny thing is that despite making an action flick, the Priyan film doesn't star Akshay Kumar which is quite surprising for he had featured in almost all the recent slapstick idiotic comedies of Priyadarsan and when finally he has made this Action film....LO! There's no Akshay Kumar...instead there is his second favourite Akshaye Khanna. Ajay Devgun has sizzled once again...the female lead played by Bipasha..Reema and the producer's daughter- Ami

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

I like it more for the situation it creates....A nice track Makes you wonder at this gift that you have - LIFE!

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
