Krrish 3 - Music Review - Was there even a Music Director ??

Krrish 3 - Music Review

Track List

'Krrish 3' is one of the most awaited Hindi film of the year. Sequel to 'Koi Mil Gaya' & 'Krrish', a Hrithik release after 2.5 years, one of the biggest budgeted Indian film, a Super Hero movie, 1.5years of Post production etc made this film red hot among people and in market. so each and every announcement regarding the movie was eagerly awaited. The music of 'Krrish 3' has been finally released, lets have a look if it really matches the immense hype or not.

1. "Krrish Krrish (Title Track)"  

I don't think there has been any title track of a Hindi movie that sounded as bad as this one, at least in the recent past. A title track should be the one that sets the album and film on pace, especially a huge film like 'Krrish 3' - considering that this one is a total disaster of a song. There's nothing positive to talk about in this song.

2. "Raghupati Raghav"  

This is my pick of the album, which I never even thought in my wildest dream thought would be the case after seeing the song video promo. The only thing I liked in the video was Hrithik's cool dance moves (which won't be 'jaw dropping' for those who frequent Telugu movies). The song has been set/shot as a party number without any energy at all. The song even after repeated hearings fails to bowl you over. But considering the rest of the songs in the album, this definitely is my pick.

3. "Dil Tu Hi Bataa"  

Feels like a romantic duet, but fails to raise any kind of emotion in listeners. The orchestration is not just bad, but plain irritating, absolutely not suiting the mood of the song. Even Alsiha Chinai's voice couldn't save this song.

4. "You Are My Love"  

This is one song that could turn out to be a Hit once the video is out. Its a quirky romantic track sung nicely by Mohith. As a song its better than the others, waiting to see the Video. Still I don't understand the need of such a song in this kind of a film. Anyway would like to give the benefit of the doubt to this song.

5. "God Allah Aur Bhagwan"  

A song that describes 'Krrish ('the super hero'). Sounds much like kids stuff, an anthem like what 'Chota Bheem' or similar cartoon characters have. Nothing much for the mass audience.

The major problem with the songs are the orchestration, nothing seems to suit the mood or lyrics of the movie. Such a big budgeted, heavily hyped movie should have at least one 'Blockbuster' track, leave BB there is not even one 'Hit' material in this entire album. I seriously doubt whether Mr.Rakesh Roshan or Hrithik listened to the song while composing. (or maybe these are exactly the songs they wanted)

Rajesh Roshan have always given blockbuster tracks, but unfortunately its the extreme opposite this time, a shockingly disappointing album. When 'RRR' was the first video released would have predicted the quality of others too, coz usually they release the best track first. 

The makers weren't serious about the movie it seems, the entire album feels like has been made for a Kids animation movie. There is nothing either for the masses or classes. May be that's they way they wanted it. With visuals don't know if my opinion is gonna change or not but as an audio album its quite disappointing. 

Rating: 2/5

Verdict: Below Average

Last Word: Shocking, Disappointing !!!

Arrambam - Exclusive Music Review

 Arrambam - Music Review

Any Yuvan Shankar Raja musical is waited with bated breaths & if its for an Ajith film the hype even increases. Ajith-Yuvan combo have always given hits, Yuvan is also on a roll with super mega success of Biriyani, so lets see how this one turned out.

 Track List

  

 1. Adada Arambame

Feels like the Intro/opening song for Ajith. Its a festive mood song. It has got that zip and energy that should be associated with such songs. Shankar Mahadevan's voice should match like anything with Ajith. This is the song in the album that's gonna be an instant/first hit. With visuals the impact of the song is surely gonna grow

3.25/5

 2. Stylish Tamizhachi

 Song begins in super style with English rap portions that are simply rocking. It makes one feel that if we are listening an 'English' track for real. The energy gets transferred to the remaining portions of the song too. Its an out and out party blast track, this one is my favorite pick of the album, even though didn't like much after first listening. Singing, Instrumentation, lyrics, rap everything is Kick-Ass

3.5/5

3. Melala Vedikuthu 

A typical friendship song, might be picturised on Ajith-Arya-Nayanthara. This is the Holi song in the film.. Loved the lyrics of the song, 'messages infused' one. A particular portion in the music is also quite infectious. An above average song even after multiple listening, may be the video could change the opinion.

2.75/5

4. Hare Rama

Te song begins with high energy, but it soon fizzles out. The instrumentation is once again good but wish if the punch was carried throughout the song. The song has '50 Cent: Candy shop' inspirations here and there I think. Singing is energetic and apt for the song

2.75/5

5.  En Fuse Pochu

Looks like a fun romantic duet picturised on Aarya & Taapses. Has got funky lyrics too. Didn't like the song too much. Considering the theme of the movie a song like this could also end up as speed breaker. The only song in the album that i didn't like. But its not completely bad, liked in bits and pieces, but as a complete song its not up to the mark.

2.25/5

Arrambam in total is a Good, different album but definitely not an instant hit. It lacks that one 'blockbuster track' which can sell the entire album and even the film. Its a complete youth/urban album, maybe specifically orchestrated to cater the theme of the movie. It takes atleast 2-3 listening before you start to get a liking towards the songs. Its everyone's cup of tea and there is very little for the masses.

But for those who like a bit of difference and are fans of Western songs, this one should definitely work for you. I seriously think that once videos are out the songs are gonna be liked even more.

So all in all Yuvan fails to meet the humungous expectations that everyone had for the album. If you have no expectations you might like the album very much, for others I recommend you wait till the video promos are out or listen to song promos multiple times before buying it.

Rating: Above Average to Good

Rating: 2.9/5*

Lootera - Exclusive Movie Review

 Lootera - Exclusive Movie Review

Story & Direction by Vikramaditya Motwane

Screenplay by Vikramaditya Motwane & Bhavani Iyer

Produced by Ekta Kapoor, Shobha Kapoor & Anurag Kashyap

Music by Amit Trivedi

Stars : Ranveer Singh, Sonakshi Sinha, Divya Dutta, Vikrant Massey, Arif Zakaria & Barun Chanda

Movie Review by Sree Prasad Nair

Theater – Al Wahda Cinemas, Abu Dhabi, UAE

04/07/2013 – 8.30pm

Occupancy – 80%

Director Vikramaditya Motwane made an outstanding entry in Bollywood with his critically acclaimed superhit Udaan in 2010. The film was officially selected at the 2010 Cannes Film Festival. Lootera is the second film of Vikramaditya Motwane.. Lootera is inspired from 'The Last Leaf', a short story by American author O. Henry. Lootera stars Ranveer Singh, Sonakshi Sinha, Divya Dutta, Vikrant Massey, Arif Zakaria & Barun Chanda.

Story
Lootera is the story of Pakhi (Sonakshai Sinha), the daughter of a wealthy Bengali Zaminda (Barun Chanda). One day an archaeologist, Varun Shrivastav(Ranveer Singh) comes to Zamindar's village to excavate the temple grounds of the village. He is good looking, smart, polite and with his poetry knwoledge, he impresses the Zamindar & Pakhi. An innocent Pakhi easily fall in love with him. But on their engagement day Varun disapperes. Pakhi struggles to move on with her life, determined to forget Varun and their relationship. Until one day, when Varun returns under the most extraordinary circumstances.

Positives
Lootera is the best film of 2013 so far. No doubts on that! From story writing to direction to performance to cinematography to music to costume/sets,  Lootera is an Epic expereince. Vikramaditya Motwane's story telling & direction is just brilliant. It's really surprising to see how a one film old Motwane manages to create such a masterpiece outing like Lootera. Undoubtedly the Best Director of 2013!

Another pluspoint of the movie is outstanding music by Amit Trivedi. All songs have soulful lyrics b and placement of the songs are perfect. Sawar Loon, Shikayatein, Zinda & Monta Re are my personal favorites. Background score of the film is also excellent. Undoubtedly the Best Music of 2013!

Mahendra J. Shetty's cinematography is top class. The costumes and sets used in this film are eyecatching.

Now to the performances...
MARK MY WORDS----> Reserve all the Best Actress 2013 Awards for the Darling Of Bollywood's 100 Crore Club, Ms. Sonakshi Sinha. Sonakshi Sinha's acting as Pakhi is easily the best performance by an actress in recent years. Her acting especially in the emotional scenes & at the climax are just mindblowing. She looks drop-dead-gorgeous and fabulous as the vulnerable lovestruck girl. Every frame of Sonakshi is flawless and you just can't take your eyes from her frame. Her career best performance. Come On Sinha.... Say No To Dabangg/RowdyRathore kinda roles & be prepared for all the awards acceptance speech of 2013, Shotgun Junior!!!

You won't believe that Lootera is Ranveer Singh's third film of his career. It's very difficult for a 2 film old like Ranveer to portray the role of Varun, but his acting is terrific. A sincere & mature acting. A Good Future For Bollywood!

Divya Dutta is superb in a small role. Debutant Vikrant Massey is good. Arif Zakaria is ok. Adil Hussain delivers a stellar performance. Barun Chanda is outstanding.

Negatives

I don't find any minus points in Lootera. Yes, Lootera is not everyone's cup of tea. Some people may find it as little boring since the genre of this film is slow & classy. But if you are a genuine movie lover go watch and experience the Epic, Lootera!

Overall Lootera is undoubtedly the Best Film of 2013! At the box office film is all set to have a decent opening at the multiplexes and average to low in single screens(expected). But I'm sure Lootera will be loved for its content & class. An opening of 6-8crore with a weekend of 20-22cr weekend is on the cards and will be a profitable venture for the makers.

P:S: 2013's Best Film, Best Director, Best Music & Best Actress Awards = LOOTERA

Verdict - LOVE COULDN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS!!!

Rating - 4.5/5! LOOTERA IS EPIC!!!

Box Office Prediction - 50cr+

7. Titli (Dubstep) - Phoenyx, Chris Mcguiness, Zoheb Khan -
8. Chennai Express (mashup) - DJ Kiran Kamath

1. One Two Three Four

The only mass number in the album, which is quite strange for a mass film. Didn't quite like the song when heard with video, after repeated hearing of (just) the audio started slowly liking the song. The video quite strangely lacks the zest, with ordinary choreography. The song is sure to be lapped up by the masses

2. Titli

A good romantic number. Soulful sound of Chinmayi. But there are 2 more reasons why the song is favorite to me, shot in Kerala & sung by Gopi Sundar.Outstanding visuals + My current Favorite Malayali music composer, singing for SRK, how can it be a disliked - The Dubstep version of the song is also quite cool

3.Tera Rastaa Chhodoon Na

 Pick of the album. Good lyrics, music & singing. Video of the song is not out yet, so waiting to see the picturisation. A feel good Romantic duet.

4. Kashmir Main, Tu Kanyakumari

A fun peppy song. Another good faster number. Liked it after repeated hearings

5. Ready Steady Po

The only track that I am diasppointed with this in the entire album. Even repeaed hearings didn't help the cause. May be will like it later on with visual, but as if now :-(

6. Chennai Express  

Simply hated when they released a small teaser of the song, but now after listening the entire song it has quite grown on me. The quirky lyrics and jolly-good singing of Legendary SPB makes this a hit.

8. Chennai Express (mashup)

Mix of all the songs, as always done greatly creatively by  DJ Kiran Kamath

With that being said, the film being projected as a mass film and more importantly an SRK starrer the film needed some chart busters foot tapping blockbuster songs like a Muni or Sheila or Fevicol or Character Deela. I think the only song that comes even close is 1,2,3,4.... But considering the fact that Rohith Shetty films, all of which were hits, never had great audio, this one is definitely a plus. 

You may not like the songs in one hearing, but give its time & due, you will start singing and grooving to it

Ma not be one of Vishal-Shekhar's best work, but still its good

Verdict: Good

Raitng: 3.25/5

GHANCHAKKAR : Exclusive Movie Review

 GHANCHAKKAR : Exclusive Movie Review 

Direction by Rajkumar Gupta  

Screenplay by Rajkumar Gupta & Parvez Sheikh

Produced by Ronnie Screwvala & Siddharth Roy Kapur 

Music by Amit Trivedi 

Stars : Emraan Hashmi, Vidya Balan, Rajesh Sharma & Namit Das 

Movie Review by Sree Prasad Nair 

Theater – Grand Al Mariah, Abu Dhabi, UAE 27/06/2013 – 11pm Occupancy – 60 % 

Director Rajkumar Gupta is known for his critically acclaimed movies Aamir & No One Killed Jessica, Both films were decent success at box office. Ghanchakkar is his third film as director. Ghanchakkar stars The Hit 'Dirty Picture' Pair Emraan Hashmi & Vidya Balan with Rajesh Sharma & Namit Das. The release of Ghanchakkar is crucial for both Emraan & Vidya. Emraan's previous two films, Rush & Ek Thi Daayan were non performers at the box office. And for Vidya, Ghanchakkar is her first film (as lead actress) after her marriage. Her last film, Kahaani was released 15 months back.

Ghanchakkar is the story of Sanju (Emraan Hashmi), a suave, master safe cracker wants to retire from a career in crime. So he decides to team up with two dangerous criminals Pandit (Rajesh Sharma) & Idris (Namit Das) to commit one last heist, A bank robbery! A bank robbery will ensure that Sanju never has to worry about money again in his life. The robbery is successful and everything goes according to their plan. Sanju is given the task of hiding the money till things cool down. Three months later, Pandit & Idris return to collect their share of the money, but Sanju refuses to even recognize them! They realize Sanju got into an accident and is suffering from strong amnesia and decide to stay with Sanju and his wife Neetu (Vidya Balan) until Sanju remembers where he hid the money? What dangerous game is Sanju playing? Where is their money? 

Positives

Ghanchakkar is a brilliantly made film! Be it direction, story or performance, Ghanchakkar is a

terrific film that will entertain you for sure. Screenplay by Rajkumar Gupta & Parvez Parvez Sheikh are top class. You can't even find a single dull moment in those 2hour 10 minutes! Rajkumar Gupta's earlier films Aamir & No One Killed Jessica were serious films. But Ghanchakkar is a well made comedy thriller with humour as film's USP! Full credit to Rajkumar Gupta! 

Emraan Hashmi as Sanju is outstanding. It's not a tailor made role for Emraan Hashmi. But Emraan responded brilliantly with his powerful performance. Easily can be described as Emraan's best performance after Shanghai. It's a new Emraan that you witness here, especially on those angry & frustration scenes. Surely a nominaton for 2013's best actor at bollywood awards. 

Vidya Balan is in terrific form, eventhough her role is not as great compared to her roles in her previous films like Kahaani, Dirty Picture & Ishqiya. However she succeeds in providing enough entertainment with her repeated slang 'Haaaa-eeeeeee' after every dialogues. Her Punjaabi dialogue is superb, "Aina di aj main Bund maar deni hai " 

Of the supporting cast by Raajesh Sharma & Namit Das, it's indeed difficult to say who'd walk away with ceetees and taalis. Both are first rate and versatile actors. The film relies heavily on this duo, and they performed really well. Namit Das's repeated dialogue ' Yeh hamko ***** bana raha hai aur hum log ***** ban rahe hai' scenes are well executed. 

Music & Background score by Amit Trivedi is good. Allah Meherbaan & Ghanchakkar Babu are already popular. Cinematography by Setu is fine and editing by Aarti Bajaj is smartly done. 

Negatives

The second half dragged little bit. Many foul words are used in this film, including one by Vidya Bala. Vidya was always slammed for her poor sense of dressing in the past and her unfashionable past is back again to haunt her thanks to a horrible dressing in Ghanchakkar. Kitni Moti Hogayi Hai Yaar???

Overall Ghanchakkar is another winner for bollywood, A Complete Paisa Wasool Film! Great Script, Fantastic Humour, Excellent Acting by lead stars! The film is all set to have a good opening at the box office thanks to UTV's brilliant promotion. Business at multiplexes will be very good and will be average at single screens. An opening day of 7cr-9cr with a weekend of 26cr-28cr is a safe bet for the film. Another profitable venture for UTV! 

P.S- It's been raining hits in bollywood these days . Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, Fukrey, Raanjhanaa and now Ghanchakkar!!! 

Verdict - FUNCHAKKAR HAI GHANCHAKKAR

TRACKLIST

First things first - I am not a music expert, just a regular Indian film music lover, just wanted to say what I felt about the songs after listening to them a couple of times. Just layman's point of view. With that being said lets dive in to my review



1. Vaanganna

Easily the biggest track & the main USP of the album. A rough version was leaked months abck and it was a rage among fans and netizens. It as absolute rocker of a track, mixed with 'dappam kuthu' elements. Vijay sound suits the song to a 'T' and he has done a great job just like all his previous 24 songs. Voice of Santhanam also featured in the song.

Verdict: Chartbuster 4/5


2. Thalaivaa

This is one song which could turn up the biggest hit of the album post release, but everything depends on the film. If placed at right situation this song has enough elements in it to create goosebumps. A pulsating, thumping, heartbeat racing anthem, especially for Vijay fans.

Verdict: Thumping 4/5


3. "The Ecstasy of Dance" (Instrumental)


Very good theme, nice use of instruments. Suitable for showing Dance Skills

Verdict: 3.5/5

4.Sol Sol

A Typical romantic duet number, nothing special, but not bad either. Its pretty much hummable. Visuals & the chemistry of lead pair could take the song to higher level [or may be not]. A typical GVP number that could be shot in mountains, valleys, hill sides etc...

Verdict 2.75/5


5. Tamil Pasanga

Feels like an intro song for Vijay's character set in Australia. Another above average/average song. Could expect a dance heavy video & choreography. Don't think the song has it in to go beyond that level even with the video.

Verdict: 2.5/5


6. Yaar Indha Saalai Oram

A nice melody. The best melody in the album. Soothing music & voice takes the song o another level.

Verdict: 3/5

Final Verdict: 3.25/5

A Good, different album - Much better than Thuppaki In My Opinion [I was not a fan of Thuppakki songs, except the first two lines of each song the songs were just average]. A non Massy album, so might take its time to catch up among non-fans, but still worth a buy, easily the best music album of the year
