Blood Money, Say Yes To Love - Music Review

Blood Money (2012)
Music: Jeet Ganguly, Pranay, Sangeet Haldipur, Siddharth Haldipur

1. Gunaah ------------------------ 8/10
If you were wondering where Mustafa Zahid of Awarapan was hiding, he is out with Blood Money with three singles from the Pakistani singer. The opening has good acoustics and the soft opening is lead up to a great crescendo with brisk beats and bass guitar treatment. This song actually reminds of Woh Lamhe from Zeher. This song also suffers from monotony, but the instrumentals are more varied than Teri Yaadon Se.

2. Teri Yaadon Se ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 8/10 
The second better track from Mustafa Zahid. Teri Yaadon Se being one of the three in the album, this one is very much like Tera Mera Rishta from Awarapan. As is the hallmark of most Pakistani singers, this one is a good sounding track of a broken heart. Fans of this genre and singer will not be disappointed. The only drawback is the repetitiveness of the tune. Very little twists in terms of tune or instrumentals. The Remix is a borderline trashy.


3. Arzoo ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 8/10
A stylish and hip-hop track from the exciting music musician Clinton Cerejo. Very upbeat and the blending of some Punjabi style has creates a contagious positive feeling. Not a path breaking track, but entertaining nevertheless.

4. Chaahat -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7/10
For Rahat Fateh Ali Khan fans. A fairly standard forlorn-in-love kind of track from the prolific ghazal singer. His fans will surely like it for it's simplicity and melody.


5. Jo Tere Sang ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7/10
After you have heard the first two grief stricken tracks from Mustafa Zahid, distinguishing this one from the first two is slightly difficult. Very much like Gunaah, but the fans should like it with it's fast tempo.

Final verdict: Overall, a pretty good album. The fact that 80% of it's songs belong to sad romantic genre, can make or break this album for some. But, for those who don't mind, this is an entertaining album as a whole.

Say Yes To Love (2012)
Music: Jatin Pandit

Jatin Pandit of the former musical duo Jatin-Lalit brings us this lackluster and obviously dated album. The only saving grace is Sunidhi Chauhan, who having made disastrous choices for sub-par tunes, comes up trumps in this album. Although the songs as a whole are forgettable, it is heartening to hear her giving an impressive performance, especially in Dhoondoon Mehfilon Mein Woh Jawan.

  2. That is cool. I would definitely like to check out the movie. Thanks for the recommendation. And the fact that the songs of the movie are good/decent, the songs interruption in the movie would not be that bad either
