    Dev D ka muzic : roz bajaane ka!

Natarajan from Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu all resorting to incessant,...

    OLLO Music : Much beyond your average Jugni’s and Billo’s (with streaming teasers)
    There are so many reference points for ‘Punjabi’ in films. You tend to go about it stereotypically. Dhaba. Butter Chicken. Lassi. Aloo da paratha. Truck drivers. Jalandhar. Patiala. Phagwada. And so on. The question is, what defines it? The culture, the language, the mannerisms, the way of life… and the music and dance that finds itself in an exhortation...

    The Darjeeling Limited: Musically yours!
    Just saw Wes Anderson’s latest fratricidal fun-on-the-run The Darjeeling Limited! Totally loved it. Love the meandering (and seeking) nature of the narrative, which is similar in structure to the Coens’ comedy work but yet so different. And that’s got a lot to do with Anderson’s dialogues, which sound profound if put on paper but in the context...

    Love at second sight: The ‘live’ly melodies of “Parwaaz”
    It was 1992 when I first heard Gham ka Khazana on Jagjit Singh’s Sajda album, a tape that would play infinitely during my father’s shaam-e-ghazals with his ghazal-loving friends. I was only 13 then, but my father, a brilliant ghazal singer in his own right, had established ours as a musical household from my very early years, and I have only him to thank for...

    Whose Lyrics is it Anyway
    A creative aspect in film making that is generally overlooked suddenly jumped to limelight courtesy Aaja Nachle..In the title song of the movie a line ‘Mochi bhi samjhe apne ko sunaar re’(A shoemaker thinks of himself as goldsmith) inadvertently created a furore that led to politics of casteism marring the box office fortunes of the movie in Hindi heartland..Suddenly...

    as DHAAL as it gets
    Responsible for Divyashakti, an adequately downbeat tale of revenge driven by principles and loss bolstered by an interesting villain, Tau (pronounced: taauu), played by Amrish Puri and two films with Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan (Main Khiladi Tu Anari, a rip-off of The Hard Way and Keemat), Sameer Malkan was last heard of when he finished a songless thriller shot in...

    Dum Laga
    [Update : Sept 27/2007. Stills of songs added] Do songs hurt the narrative flow (and form) of our films? I believe they usually do. When we were working on about the fifth draft of the screenplay (it went on till ninth by the time it was ready to be called ‘bound’), I realized that there are some ‘natural’ places where songs can have a place in the film, mostly...

    the music of CASH: it’s a gas
    After the catchy, layered and eminently entertaining Dus Vishal-Shekhar return to toss in tunes for Anubhav Sinha’s crime caper Cash. With a mission statement for catchy dance-floor ditties, the duo gleefully turn to their experimental side that gave us adventures like right here right now from BluffMaster!, the title track for Golmaal: Fun Unlimited and the songs...

    Building The New Stars of Hindi Cinema…
    With Saawariya introducing the world to the acting talent of Ranbir Kapoor and Sonam Kapoor, and Om Shanti Om rocket launching the career of Deepika Padukone, I got to thinking about the major stars of Hindi cinema who were introduced in the new millenium… and many an actor made his debut since Y2K, only a few have had the kind of impact which could earn them the...

    Life…In A Metro
    “Will this survive the Kingfisher litmus test?” asked Oz as we inebriated ourselves while hogging on some butter chicken at Ambala Dhaba. I was hesitant to respond because Vijay Mallya’s concoction has a tendency to strip your tolerance levels considerably. The last film we saw under the influence (Nishabd) had us running to save our tender brains from...

    HUM TO OMKARA KE MUSIC KI DEHLIZ KI DAASI HAI JI BAS!!!!!!!
    The problem with reality is there is no music happening in the background, which is why music like this really appeals to a musically starved soul like me who looks forward to good Hindi film music. Soothens me big time. I can never get over the music of Omkara..How on earth did this man have the ability to make this film and on top of that make such fantastic music?...

    Ill pray for you brother..
    A.r Rehman is my favourite music director from the Indian film industry before Himesh Resham wali aawaz.. I heard his Pray for me brother and i was confused. Pray for me bro is dedicated to inspire ppl to eradicate poverty and to give hope from oppression,injustice and cruelity due to foreign forces or their own cruel leaders,those deprived of love,to fill a void,and to...

    Pray for me, Brother: reflecting Rahman’s brilliance
    A R Rahman does not stop surprising me. ‘Pray for Me, Brother’ is an exceptional composition. The modulations, especially towards the middle of the song when Rahman reaches a vocal crescendo are out of this world. Gave me goose bumps. Brilliant vocals, mind blowing music, and the presence of the genius make it one in a million. Amazing! One goes deeper and discovers...

    Video Review – Pray For Me, Brother
    AR Rahman finally releases a music video, something that was long awaited. This song, which was actually released as a single through a mobile phone company, was composed two years ago. Bharatbala, of Maa Tujhe Salaam fame, directs this video with an international crew. This is a fine example of how quality video-making can elevate a song from the stature of great to memorable....

Now they’re back with an event in Juhu and the director of the upcoming Salaam-e-Ishq will be in attendance. Highly recommend those of you in...

    Size doesn’t matter!
    I love short films. They’re perfect for when you’re in the mood to watch a film but don’t have the time. Hell, I even try to catch a couple here and there during the day at work. Sadly, the market for short films is just not there with the masses. Unless a Darna Mana Hai or Darna Zaroori Hai comes along with Ramu’s banner behind it, the audience...

Omkara Omi lives Tej thaa jhonka kya karoon Out I take my gunpowder and there you go down I will not get any better now Now that I have tasted it once I am addicted till I die These blue sheets below me and the sodiums do no longer any good The make up looks a shade less real in the...

    Song Project – Part I
    A recent post by HG on musicals reminded me of a project that I did few months back. It was based on Exploration of the Song in the Hindi film. The project was called Are You Song For It/Whose Song Is It Anyway? I plan to share some of the text from that project here in a series of articles. Here I go again. Bollywood. Songs. Dreams. Exploration of thought. Tradeoff of...

    Ek Musical Film….
    (Note: This article is a bit random; bits and bobs – no flow!) Music (songs) is an integral part of our film industry. It is very-highly-likely that a hindi film would not be made without songs. Some say music – i mean, filmi music is part of our culture. And others say people would not watch a hindi film without songs – music is one of the key factor...

    Gulzar in Guru
    (Here is a little analysis of Gulzar’s work in Guru. I have picked some tracks from the album and translated them and added to the imagery (in the under-running emotion of the song) at places.) The songs are beyond comparison. The words deserve a separate in-depth session. I just immersed myself in the music, and what I came up with is these words. If you see more images...

    Guru’s Music
    Guys, GURU hits the stands tomorrow. While the reviews and responses have been mixed as is the case with all Rahman releases, this sure looks a winner, on the likes of Taal, Meenaxi & Iruvar. Gulzar has again come up with his inimitable knack of picking commonly unused words and created magic(hairat, beswaadi) There have been mentions of the detailed and never-before...

    The 48-hour Film Project: what say PFC?
    Here’s another idea I suggested to oz, and he suggested I post it here and check out reader reactions. 2001 marked the debut year of the 48-Hour Film Project, “a crazy idea to try to make a film in 48 hours” brought up by Mark Ruppert and his filmmaking partner Liz Langston. Basically, the producers at the 48hr Film Project have a huge meeting on a friday...

    It
    During the hip-shaking days of Disco, a number of our music directors tried their hands to produce pure sounds of this genre. Apna own Sone ki Dukaan (Jewelry Shop) Bappi Lahiri was in the fore-front with soundtracks like Disco Dancer, Karate etc. But no director was able produce a pure disco song that could give competition to the western stuff. There were always certain...

    2 Men and Magic – LP
    For sometime now we have been totally in awe & spell-bound by the fantastic music done by Panchamda (R.D. Burman). Every music discussion lately have been starting and ending with Panchamda. It’s always how he used a comb (Mere samne wali khidki from Padosan) or pieces of glass (Churaliya in Yaadon ki baraat) to get a new sound. Along the way there are number music...

    Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose: The Forgotten Hero
    Directed by: Shyam Benegal Actors: Sachin Khedekar, Rajpal Yadav Year: 2005 Running Time: 222 minutes Apun Indian hain magar apne ko apni hee ithiaas ke baare mein kuch nahi maloom. So I was a bit skeptical about watching ‘Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose: The Forgotten Hero’, as I would not know what part is the fact and what part is fictitious. And I think, I should...

    Master of the Arts
    “Had I not been a film maker” said this man once, “I would have been a teacher and built a school on the lines of Shantiniketan“. No bout a doubt it, if we were to look at his extensive experimentation with cinematic work and his exhaustive toolbox of skills, including writing, music and painting. After half a century of film making career –...
