Muzicextreme

Pandhayam(Tamil,Vijay Antony)

charan1989 — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 17:27:45 +0000

Lusimbara tries to be a stylish number but is plain silly and the chorus sounds lot like a tune that keeps coming in “Then Kudicha Nilavu” from Naan Avan Illai.Ammane is a Blatant lift from the arabic song Amaneh by Diana Haddad.This is actually a surprise because the song is pretty famous!!..Surangani’s remix is extremely repulsive and Chinna Maamiye too is very bad with an absolutely stale tune.Kathal Theeviravadhi is pretty decent and is the only song that manages to impress..Pandhayam is as bad as Rasikkum Seemane(Perhaps,a shade more worse than it)with very low class tunes.Wake up,Vijay Antony!!…

Rasikkum Seemane(Tamil,Vijay Antony)

charan1989 — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 17:26:30 +0000

The title song and Nachulo Nachulo are pathetic with some very bad singing militating against the song completely!!..Kodi Minnalai is decent while Poove poove is very slow and doesnt really manage to impress.Naan unnai Partha Neram has a catchy tune and is marginally interesting but has a strong Dishyum and Sukran Hangover.we know that Vijay Antony is basking on the success of the excellent Nakka Mukka and certainly there would have been a lot of expectations for this album.But apparently
this album is a dud.

Qismat Apnay Haat Mein(Shehzad Roy)

charan1989 — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 17:25:29 +0000

Great Chorus and great lyrics sum up the enthusiastic Khul Ke Pyar and Qismat Apnay Haat mein.Janay Kahan and Ek baar are just fabulous with some captivating tunes, congruous with some good vocals by Shehzad!!..Aankhein and Zindagi feat Abida Praveen too are refreshingly different while the folkish Mai Bhagi tribute,Baro chal is passable.Quaid-e-Azam and Laga Reh too are good and are great add-ons to this already fantastic soundtrack!!…Qismat Apne Haat Mein showcases Shehzad Roy’s confidence in every sense and its great to think about the fact that our neighbours too are capable of delivering some good albums,that too with consummate ease!!..

Ramchand Pakistani(Hindi,Debajyothi Mishra)

charan1989 — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 17:24:19 +0000

Allah Meghde and Phir Wohi Raasthey are extremely soulful and holds on to you in the very first listen.Beautifully carved songs,those two!!..Teri Meri Preet and Meri Matti both seem to be tailor made for Shubha Mudgal and she makes an impression.Ramchand Ka safar too is good with nice assortment of instruments while Dhadee and Terrin Paunda are completely Pakistani and very slow and will take time to grow on you.This soundtrack is a very good follow-up to the excellent Khuda Kay liye(an other Pakistani OST!!-remember Bandya?)..Beautiful soundtrack,this one!!..

Insomniac(Enrique Iglesias)

charan1989 — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 17:23:05 +0000

After a week worth of nagging and bickering by my neighbour(bless him!!),finally i got to listen to this album!!…Believe me,each and every song of this album makes for an interesting listen and i cant even choose my favourite from this album!! In the middle,i Lost touch with Enrique’s albums and i had the impression that he produces some silly and lacklustre songs!!..He Proved me wrong!!…and How!!
Ring my bells starts off a little childishly but as the song progresses,it becomes very interesting and is a perfect start to the album.Somebody’s me sounds like some of the famous Avril Lavigne’s and Green day’s songs but is equally good..Its other version(i dont know which language though!) Alguien Soy yo too is good!!..Wish i Was your lover is just ammazing and the lyrics is just great..Especially the part where he goes “Dont try to run away..These many things i wanna say” is awesome!!..Dont you forget about me is very slow but the tune is alluring and Sweet Isabel is sweet with pleasing arrangements..Miss you is entertaining and in this song,Enrique seems to have taken out a leaf from Kevin Lyttle’s book(Backgrounds are just like in kevin Lyttle’s songs)..But no offense,the tune is genuinely authentic!!…Stay here tonight,Tired of being sorry are likeable but is a step behind the other songs.Enrique’s voice and the orchestration dominates the fantastic On top of you!!…Push and Do you know ends the album on a high note!!..Insomniac is by no means, an ordinary album!!…This album will make me an insomniac for atleast 2 days!!..Lol!!
So here’s me looking forward to the next album of Enrique Iglesias!!

1920(Hindi,Adnan Sami)

charan1989 — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 17:21:22 +0000

Bichua is a catchy track even though Shubha Mudgal sounds more like Usha Uthup than herself.Theme music is glib while Vaada hain tumse vaada is rhythmic and has a nice tune but Pandit Jasraj’s voice doesnt suit the song at all.But the one by Praveena Sultana is alluring mainly due to the backgrounds.Aise Jalta hai jiya has an ambient sound and Asha’s voice shows no signs of senility whatsoever!!…Tujhe main Pyaar karu has beautiful backgrounds and starts nicely but Kailash Kher seriously shouldnt have sung this one!!..1920 is very much Adnan-Not great,not bad!!

Baladoor(Telugu,K.M.Radhakrishnan)

charan1989 — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 17:20:32 +0000

Yetu Podhaam cheppamma is decent but has a striking similarity to “Chal hat saali pagli…” from Rathraina(Athidhi) but the song has some good vocals by Naveen.Nuvvu koncham theda and Andhamaina Kalala are very outdated with former having some astoundingly bad lyrics.Gundelo Illundhi too is a 50-60s song and fails to make any impression.Thella cheera ok too is inane and its surprising that Sukhwinder Singh actually accepted to sing this one.Considering the fact that K.M Radhakrishna has given us some good songs,this album is a damp squib and you can give a miss to it.

Gunde Jhallumandi(Telugu,M.M Keeravani)

charan1989 — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 17:19:17 +0000

Idhi Adhe has disastrous lyrics and the tune is middling.I had to force myself a laugh after listening to the sound that comes in the beginning of the song and in the middle too(something like aai aai aai aai…lol)…but it is kinda addictive!!..Ila endhuku andPavada Kaastha have familiar tunes but the former is enjoyable to an extent(Keeravani has a great voice!!).Gunde Jhallumandhi is outdated but Telusa Manasa has a lovely tune with pleasing arrangements but the saxophone (or whatever instrument) bit that comes in the middle is annoying!!..Even though most of the songs are mundane,Gunde Jhallumandi is listenable.

Vanathai’s strength is Tippu.His effort in this song is laudabl
