Desi Boyz, Ye Stupid Pyar, Loot - Music Review

Desi Boyz (2011)
Music: Pritam


1. Subha Hone Na De --------- 9/10
2. Tu Mera Hero ----------------- 9/10
The most romantic track of the album, while being highly peppy and happy. A great song for the parties and late night celebrations, as the lyrics say it all. While the beats never let up, the song never digresses into any sort of melodrama. This keeps the song true to the genre. The only possible blemish being, the tune of the female part of the track, raises the ghosts of plagiarism for Pritam.
The two songs are almost identical, with only the opening and some beats here and there being different.


3. Make Some Noise For The Desi Boyz -------------------------------------------------------------------- 8/10
A great entertainer. The perfect track to shed all the glum and get on the dance floor. The song though shot on two male dancers is fist pumping and packs an energetic mood in the air. Who better than KK to do just that?


4. Allah Maaf Kare ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6/10
Sonu Nigam completes his recent comeback with this track and album. An energetic and romantic track, whose sole purpose is entertainment. A little too long, but fun.


5. Jhak Maar Ke --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6/10
A Punjabi music styled Neeraj Shridhar love track. The romantic duel between the male and female duel is cute and the bhangra beats, shehnai and acoustics are all nicely blended together. Harshdeep Kaur rounds off the song well with her support act.

Final verdict: Overall, gets a 9/10. While not the individual songs are memorable, with a limited shelf life, the songs compliment each other superbly. This makes the album as a whole a great entertainment package. Lack of any melodrama in 8 out of 9 songs keeps the album very upbeat. Great work Pritam.

Ye Stupid Pyar (2011)
Music: Reeky Dev, Vipin Patwa

1. Lamha Lamha ------------------- 8/10
A great romantic track by the newcomer music directors. This song is not a melody, but a pop romantic song. Nikhil D'Souza is definitely ramping up his credentials as a romantic singer.

2. Tere Naam Se -------------------- 6/10
This is a decent love track, opening with a English poem which is also interspersed in between. KK handles the rest with his commanding voice. Despite sounding good, the tried and tested tune makes the song feel stale.

Brownie point:

  • Stupid Pyar - Gets a mention for the song has a heart to it. The tune is a classic Bollywood romantic one. Not impressive, but does have the ability to rope in the listener's heart.


Final verdict: Get 1 above. The overall album is mediocre. However, the new music directors show spark, as mostly no song in the album is downright rubbish.

Loot (2011)
Music: Shamir Tandon, Mika Singh, Shravan Sinha

Just a big loud yawn. And when nothing is right about the album, veiled cusswords in Saari Duniya Mere Ispe makes it more annoying.
