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

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
