Back after a week’s break. A monster playlist this time – 35 songs! Probably the highest in recent times for any Weeklies! The YouTube playlist is missing two songs (‘What A Flow’ and ‘Monkey Moonji’ ...

The music of Vivah is like a 70s time capsule – dated? Yes. Pleasant? Sort of! While Mujhe haq hai & Do anjaane have that quaint charm, O jiji & Jai gauri are ingratiating.

Roxen’s Mustafa Zahid offers an extended version of the band’s own acoustic hit, Kaisay jiyein, in Hum jee lenge – largely predictable and staid Pakistani pop.

As usual, let me reiterate that the lists here are in order of preference – they are not random lists. That cleared, I noticed a trend in the 5 languages ...

Shambu sutaya must be most frenetically paced Ganesh bhajan ever, with a detour in sound for the sake of dance that is mighty pulsating! Shankar Mahadevan and Vishal Dadlani ace the track, in their ...

Muskurane is a stunningly beautiful combo – the lyrics, Arijit’s soaring vocals and the soorthing arrangement! Mohammed Irfan’s slower Unplugged version, in comparison, seems laboured. Neeti Mohan ...
