Music Review - Fukrey, Gippi, Shortcut Romeo

Fukrey (2013)
Music: Ram Sampath

Ever since Ram Sampath had a super hit in Bhaag DK Bose from Delhi Belly, he has been on the path for some validation as a music director. None to be found here. The album is mediocre because the tracks are nothing more than a commotion and follow a classic boring formula. There is only one song that deserves a mention.
1. Rabba - 6/10
The intro of the song is slow and soulful and a bit dry. What follows is a fun Clinton Cerejo track with nice beats and amusing lyrics. The track goes a little flat in the middle. Had this track been a bit short, it would have been nicer.


Gippi (2013)
Music: Vishal-Shekhar

A pretty average album by the musical-duo who were at their peak 3 years ago. This is an album unlike them or may be they reserved their substandard tracks for this movie. We Are Like This Only and Dil Kaagzi are the better ones from the album and at least show these guys have something left in them.
Pretty disappointing.






Shortcut Romeo (2013)
Music: Himesh Reshammiya

Himesh Reshammiya has taken quite a dip. All the talk about him being a passing fancy has turned out to be true. He is back from being HR or Himesh to being just Himesh Reshammiya. Granted even this album is slightly amusing last his past ones, the songs are not the same without his nasal twang. The album sounds like straight from the 90s. So old, cliche and cheesy; but not cheesy enough.
If you want to listen to some train wreck of a song, Ishq Gangster is the one.

Pretty bad week for music.
