Music Review - Lootera, Ghanchakkar, Policegiri

Lootera (2013)

Music: Amit Trivedi

Amit Trivedi has probably done a purely romantic after some time. Most of his recent work has been themed humor one after the other.
So, if you were awaiting some standard romantic melodies without much fanfare, this is an album for you. Needless to say, the album is very mild, no sort of zest.
A bit one-dimensional.



Ghanchakkar (2013)

Music: Amit Trivedi

Yet another Amit Trivedi album to review this week, and this one is right up in his alley. A comedy movie, tons of goofy lyrics to play with.
Even though he may not have created the best music, Amit Trivedi continues to display his masterful use of instruments which is clean and distinct.
Brownie points:

  • Jholu Ram - The lyrics and overall composition is fun enough. And there is one singer who was mocked for his voice a decade ago. He might find a second wing in lending his voice to funny numbers. Yes, I am talking about Altaf Raja.
  • Allah Meherbaan - This is such a stoner of a song. Reminded me of this video.

Policegiri (2013)

Music: Himesh Reshammiya, Anjjan - Meet Bros.

I think Himesh has fallen to such lows that when the movie producers don't think, music is only an option for the movie, they turn to him. After all, someone's gotta compose music. Such a raucous and cacophonous fare.
