dil bole hadippa music reviewIf you ask anyone about what a typical Yash Raj soundtrack is all about, you’ll get the same reply. A few romantic numbers, one or two dance/disco based tracks, a sad song (very important) and a few so-so tracks here and there. No matter how hard they try to ‘create’ something new each time, they fail. Or may be they succeed in making the same kind of music every time to keep risks at bay. I don’t remember any recent decent soundtrack from their banner. None.

Dil Bole Hadippa stars Rani Mukherjee and F…err..Shahid Kapoor in lead roles. The soundtrack has been composed by Pritam. What? Yes! It’s Pritam. At first I thought those folks at Yash Raj went bankrupt or something and then I thought may be really like this guy’s music. Now after listening to the music I am dead sure these folks have no money. They hired Pritam to compose the music for them. What were they thinking? It’s like jumping off a plane knowing you have a torn parachute. Even that has a 0.1% chance of saving your ass in the long run. But Pritam? Seriously guys, if you want people to see your movies then you need a good soundtrack. That’s how Bollywood works. If Pritam wasn’t enough, news of Rani Mukherjee sporting a bikini in the flick spread like fire across the media. Anyone who saw those promos of her wearing a so called bikini wants to die now.

Let’s get back to the music now.

Twitter Goes Down!

August 6, 2009

I just woke up after a quick nap and went straight up to the desk to grab the laptop. The geek in me wanted to let the world know I had woken up. All of a sudden, Twitter is mysteriously hiding itself from me. I was not able to log-in on Dabr, Twitter web or [...]
