हक से Film/Album: Striker Singer(s): Siddharth, Yuvan Shankar Raja Music Director: Yuvan Shankar Raja Lyricist: Nitin Raikwar Length: 5:43 Music Label: T-Series My Rating - 9/10 It's hip! Very modern with lyrics very much realistic and straight out of a 50-cent single! A very promising track, marking the Bollywood debut of ace Tamil composer/singer- Yuvan Shankar Raja...his grainy voice works wonders, I still wonder why didn't come up earlier? Still that track NEETHANE from SARVAM boggles fresh in my head....HIS VOICE haunting me!......If propelled with proper publicity and media.....someone is surely destined to match Rahman's feat in Bollywood, if not cross him!  Lyrics (Translation) Haq se le haq se jo chahe tu rab se Haq se le haq se jo chahe tu rab se (Its your right, with that right, take whatever you want from God) Luck ko tere laga taala, tere paas hi hai chaabi (Lock up your luck, you hold the key to it) Hai lakeeron mein kyun ulja, khele tu to ...

"First of all a HAPPY REPUBLIC DAY to all of  my INDIAN brothers and sisters" Once there was a video, that would embroil my heart and soul towards the television...........this was ...I don't know.....15 years ago....back in that small village in Kerala...where I was unaware about computers or cable television.....All I knew was that.....I would sing along that mesmerizing track....MILEY SUR MERA TUMHARA.....with the most glorious faces of the nation- a young Amitabh (err...in his 40s)...Kamal...Suhasini....Ravi Shankar ji...and the lost goes on,,,,and on....and on.... (whom I couldn't even recognize then...:P). And now, on the occassion of India's 60th Republic day celebrations, THE TIMES group has unwounded a present................PHIR MILE SUR...................A recompilation of that same track.....the same words..............but in a new package.......a new AVATAR.... Yes.....an effort on the part of India's leading Media Group...............a rather....

Story set in the mid-80s! Well that's what wikipedia ensures us. This would be Tollywood heartthrob Siddhart Narayan's second Bollywood film (after Rang De Basanti) and his first as the sole hero! For those of you who don't know, Tollywood is the collective name that defines the Telugu Film Industry . The film also marks Southie Beauty Padmapriya's entry into the Bollywood dome. Though not the perfect entry, yet the film looks promising and fresh off the takes used by AAMIR  (2008). Let's now talk about the music of the film. Ummm.....Lets go song by song.....one by one..... Cham Cham - The opening track of the album is rendered by Sonu Nigam to the tunes of Shailendra Bhavre. The music is kind of repitive, ever since Sufi became a household magma, hats off to efforts by our Bollywood Music directors! The lyrics are pretty much straight forward and gullible. You will love it, if you like soft romantic ballads. Kinda haunting, and coz I loved it, I give it 9 .5 ...

முன்தினம் / मुन्दिनम / Mundinam (Yesterday)  Movie : Vaaranam Aayiram Music : Harris Jayaraj Vocal : Naresh Iyer, Prashanthini My Rating - 9/10 This is definitely one of my all time favourites. Harris Jayaraj deserves more than just a pat on the back for this haunting melody! But then, even he drew the inspiration from George Michael's FAITH....a hit from the yesteryears.....Makes me wonder, where have all those wonderful moments of yesteryears disappeared? Yes! this song really takes a teenager back to the college days of his father, at least it had that effect on me. I could imagine myself back in the eighties, and life really untying all kinds of notes to forego another transcendental trip to the center of my past.....A Past Life perhaps!  A Great track....I have modified the lyrics in the english translation to suit my style....and it is dedicated to someone really really special...........Malini?...naah....thats the character played by Simran in the film.....her...
