Allah Ke Banday, Dus Tola, Lava Kusa - The Warrior Twins, Khichdi - The Movie - KOed.......(Bad)Music Review

Knock Out (2010)
Music: Gourov Dasgupta

I have read his name before, but the fact that I don't remember it on top of my head only signifies it was about something forgettable. Here, in Knock Out, again there is nothing that will make your head turn. There is not much to elaborate, so wrapping up this album in a conclusion:

  • Vishal Dadlani continues his on/off tryst with rock music in the title track Knock Out
  • KK tries to salvage the album with an almost decent track, Tuhi Mere Hum Navaa
  • Rahat Fateh Ali Khan's magic fails in Khushnuma Sa and ...
  • We have stopped taking Sunidhi Chauhan seriously anymore with her performance/choice of songs with the track Jab Jab Dil Mile.
  • The only song that does justice, if you are looking for something specific, like Ganpati style songs, is Gangubai Pe Aai Jawani; not awesome but will make you dance.

Allah Ke Banday (2010)
Music: Kailash Kher, Chirantan Bhatt, Hamza Faruqui

I have yet to listen to an album of a movie on a serious topic which is good. Kailash Kher is good in Kya Hawa Kya Badal, but the song is too heavy in mood to like it. I can only say that the musician trio tried their best to add some spice, but not spicy enough. Although they did manage to make me cry with Mayoos......not because the song was powerfully sorrow, but the tune was powerfully distasteful and who better than Sunidhi Chauhan to take one for the team.

Dus Tola (2010)
Music: Sandesh Shandilya

The movie appears to have a country setting. The last time I heard the song of such a movie (Kushti), I was pleasantly surprised. But then, now I am reminded of the fact that, Kushti was in fact a surprise. Looks like Sonu Nigam's career js officially over with one low-key and boring track in THIS movie.

Lava Kusa - The Warrior Twins (2010)
Music: L. Vaidyanathan....yes, you have read it!

There are eight tracks in the movie. Really! All the while I thought I was listening to the same track over and over. Exaggeration apart, the theme and lyrics are so similar that it is difficult to discern the difference, except the two instrumental tracks. Neither are those any good. The album, like the movie production house, has thick South Indian music overtones. Not necessarily bad, but in general, difficult for anyone who listens to Bollywood music to accept it.

Khichdi - The Movie (2010)
Music: Raju Singh

Raju Singh, not known for anything much, is back after a while with nothing. The album has 6 tracks, out of which only 2 are original. Not even sure if those are original or not. The goofy genre of the movie also seems to have not helped. The tracks are not horrible and won't make you tear your hair off. Just something that you know exists, but don't care to pay heed to.
