Her voice brings the required mood of sensuality and mystique. Suman Sridhar is certainly getting typecast in songs like this one, but then she knocks it out of the park every single time. Muskaane Jhoothi Hai – Ram Sampath – Suman Sridhar – Javed Akhtar Two words – Shilpa Rao! This, almost 5 feet of a human being is a rockstar! Gustakh Dil – Amit Trivedi – Shilpa Rao – Swanand Kirkire

Not to mention, the shehnai and the dhols at the end of the song took me way back to a day 10 years ago. Swanand’s mother lends her matronly voice which takes the song to a uniquely emotional place which might be familiar to the Marathi junta. Not here,the Amit/Swanand pair create a catchy composition to Marathi words. Navraai maajhi – Amit Trivedi – Sunidhi Chauhan, Swanand Kirkire, Neelambari Kirkire, Natalie Di Luccio – Swanand KirkireĪ Bollywood wedding song almost always aligns with North Indian sensibilities. Swanand dada kaay sundar ani saadhe shabd baandhalet!! Jab bhi sunata hoon, dil baag-baag ho jaata hain. If Salil Chowdhury, SD Burman and OP Nayyar got together and created a composition, this is what it would sound like. Pritam’s Barfi wins the ‘soundtrack of the year’ award from me.Īashiyan – Pritam – Shreya Ghoshal, Nikhil Paul George – Swanand Kirkire Such a fresh and melodious soundtrack this was! Papon and Sunidhi’s voices with Neelesh’s simple words make this song seem like a fresh and fragrant cup of a hot Darjeeling tea. Kyon – Pritam – Papon, Sunidhi Chauhan -Neelesh Mishra Pritam elevates himself from his template compositions and delivers a winner with creative arrangements. Luttna – Pritam – Masuma Anwar, Sahir Ali Bagga, Anupam Amod – Irshad Kamil Both the singers exude a joie-de-vivre in their singing and Irshad Kamil mixes the old prayer “twamev maata cha peeta twamev” from the Bhagwad Geeta quite wonderfully to make a a quirky “cocktail” (the religious zealots might call it blasphemy). Tumhi ho bandhoo – Pritam – Neeraj Sridhar, Kavita Seth – Irshad KamilĪ frothy pop chartbuster that is fun and addictive. Had not heard much of Shekhar’s voice before and must say mighty impressed with his singing. Vishal-Shekhar are master arrangers and mixers and this song is nothing if not for their creative arrangements. Khudaaya – Vishal/Shekhar – Shekhar Ravijani – Amitabh Bhattacharya
GANGS OF WASSEYPUR SONGS FULL
What a kick-ass debut from this new singer – she exudes minty freshness combined with a tinge of mischief! Amit Trivedi is in full form mixing guitars, drums and harmonium with elan.īharat maata ki jai – Vishal/Shekhar – Keerthi Sagathia, Vishal Dadlani, Mandar Apte, Chintamani Sohoni, R N Iyer, Bhupesh – Dibakar BanerjeeĪ boisterous satirical song about the current state of Bharat maata. Dibakar pens some clever lyrics and the singers go to town with the street band energy of the song. Pareshaan – Amit Trivedi – Shalmali Kholgade – Kausar Munir There are a number of versions of the song in the album, I prefer Hamsika’s over Shreya’s. Raabta – Pritam – Hamsika Iyer, Joi Barua, Arijit Singh, Shreya Ghoshal – Amitabh BhattacharyaĪ beautiful melody from Pritam. The piano and Sonu play a wonderful game of tag in the song. Sonu Nigam excels in this pathos filled song. Soulful singing by Roop Kumar Rathod to a quietly stirring composition from Ajay/Atul.Ībhi hai mujhme kahin – Ajay/Atul – Sonu Nigam – Amitabh Bhattacharya O Saiyaan – Ajay/Atul – Roop Kumar Rathod – Amitabh Bhattacharya (Song – Music Director – Singer(s) – Lyricist)

It was a fantastic year for both Hindi movies and music, my personal favorites listed below (in no order of liking).
