• Music Aloud Playback – Best Songs of 2022!

• Welcome to Music Aloud’s annual roundup #14!  A couple of changes this time around, mostly incorporating feedback I have received for the previous editions. Firstly, I have included separate (but slightly smaller) lists for Telugu, Kannada and Marathi instead of bunching everything up into one “Other Language Films” set. On the flip side though, that […]



• Qala – Music Review (Bollywood Soundtrack)

• Songs and complete soundtrack credits at the end. Qala’s director Anvitaa Dutt gets the perennially underrated Sagar Desai to do a guest composition for the soundtrack – Udh Jaayega by Sant Kabir. The song is a bhajan that you will find multiple renditions of on Youtube, by Pt. Kumar Gandharv, Rahul Deshpande etc. If you […]



• Ponniyin Selvan: I – Music Review (Tamil Soundtrack)

• Songs and soundtrack credits at the end. Happened to watch Chup over the weekend. Director Balki employs multiple elements in the movie to pay tribute to master director Guru Dutt, prominent among them being SD Burman’s songs from Dutt’s movies Pyaasa and Kagaz Ke Phool; and one of the things that is indelibly stuck in […]



• Vendhu Thanindhathu Kaadu – Music Review (Tamil Soundtrack)

• Songs and album credits at the end. The soundtrack’s first three songs – Muthu’s Journey, Kaalathukkum Nee Venum, Marakkuma Nenjam (well, two songs technically, Muthu’s Journey is an abridged version of Marakkuma Nenjam, presumably the piece that accompanied the movie’s teaser that came out last year) – play out almost like a single, long pleasant […]



• Thallumaala – Music Review (Malayalam Soundtrack)

• Songs and musician credits at the end. I have posted videos where available, since that is the best way to enjoy these songs. 🙂 Until a few days back, the wiki entry for Thallumaala translated the title to “Chain of fights” – they have since changed that to “Ballad of fights” which is what the […]



• Laal Singh Chaddha – Music Review (Bollywood Soundtrack)

• Songs and soundtrack credits at the end. The lyric video of Kahani describes the song as “the soul of Laal Singh Chaddha”, and you can see that in the reflective lines (top work from Amitabh Bhattacharya). There is a feather seen floating about in the lyric video – people who have watched Forrest Gump would […]



• Good Luck Jerry – Music Review (Bollywood Soundtrack)

• Songs and soundtrack credits at the end. Cutie Cutie equates the protagonist with all things cute and vulnerable and innocent, presumably to establish a ground zero for the transformation that Jerry undergoes through the movie. I could not find an analogue for every song from Kolamaavu Kokila in Good Luck Jerry (although the movie seems […]



• Shamshera – Music Review (Bollywood Soundtrack)

• Songs at the end of the review. There is just a brief segment in the otherwise routine Parinda that made my ears perk up – when about 3.5 minutes into the song, Sukhwinder Singh sings a series of lines ending pee aaya, jee aaya and so on. The mind instantly went back to the many pee […]



• Iravin Nizhal – Music Review (Tamil Soundtrack)

• Songs, and artist credits (to the extent available) at the end of the review. My favourite song from A R Rahman’s long -awaited reunion project with Rajeev Menon back in 2018 – Sarvam Thaala Mayam – was the track co-composed by ARR and Menon, Varalaama, a wonderfully realised raagamaalika that never got the love it […]
