Music: Pritam, Devi Shri Prasad
1. Dhinka Chika ------------------------------------------------ 9/10
2. Dhinka Chika (Remix) ----------------------------------- 8/10
Do I have to say more about this song? Brilliant corniness. Simply put, we officially have this year's best song for the upcoming Ganpati season. Although, the video adds more fun to the song, the track itself will make you dance wherever you are, if you possess the necessary inclination. Dhinka Chika Dhinka Chika Dhinka Chika Dhinka Chika Re e e e Re e e e! The Remix, is not really a remix, but an almost identical song with separate lyrics. Although, there is this lingering thought, that there could have been a better choice of playback singer than Mika Singh. Interesting fact: This is the lone song of Devi Shri Prasad in this album.
3. Meri Ada Bhi -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5/10
Definitely not a good, leave alone great, but could make an addition to wedding songs album.
Final verdict: Overall, gets a 5/10. Dhinka Chika pretty much carries the burden of the entire album. The interesting part is, the other three original numbers are pretty flat despite being sung by prolific singers like KK, Neeraj Shridhar and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan. The music directors went full force with this album, but came up with only Dhinka Chika. Certainly Ready for it.

Ragini MMS (2011)
Music: S.D. Burman, Shamir Tandon, Faizan Hussain, Agnel Boman, Bappi Lahiri
It is kind of curious to read S.D. Burman among the names of music directors, although, adding a classic like Raat Akeli Hai from Jewel Thief to the album explains it. Take it out and we have an album that is as small as an MMS. There are more music directors than there are tracks in this album. Bappi's corny magic fails in You're My Chicken Fry.
Brownie points:
- Ragini - The title track is a decent grunge rock track. Bollywood is definitely doing a right thing there. An interesting mix of cell phone sounds.
- Itne Kareeb Aao is a nice sounding jazz/retro track. Not too bad.
A Strange Love Story (2011)
Music: Santok Singh, Dharmesh, Ripul
What a strange album! Half the album is boring instrumentals and the rest are equally boring sad romantic numbers.
Queens! Destiny of Dance (2011)
Music: Anurag Ware
Sincere attempt. But when it evokes a yawn, it doesn't speak, err.... yawn ....of the album.
