couples-retreatHave you heard of a film called Couples Retreat ? If you havent, you should. This film marks A R Rahman’s entry into mainstream Hollywood post-Oscar!

Couples Retreat is a romantic comedy revolving around four couples who visit a tropical island resort for vacation, and to reinvigorate their marriages. From the synopsis, its difficult to imagine how much musical scope it can have. Its directed by Peter Billingsley and written by Jon Favreau. The cast includes Vince Vaughn, Faizon Love, Jason Bateman, Kristin Davis, Kristen Bell, Malin Akerman and Kali Hawk. Check out the film’s promo.

The official track list is still not out. Till then enjoy the unofficial list and click on the play button to listen to the promo songs from the album….

The first song of Sujoy Ghosh’s film Aladin is out. Its called the Genie Rap. Music is by Vishal Shekhar. The film stars Amitabh Bachchan, Sanjay Dutt, Ritesh Deshmukh and debutant Jacqueline Fernandes. The film’s release has been postponed from 23rd October to 30th october. Check out the song.

 

But why is the video so unimganitively done! And those words on screen, kabhi hai kabhi nahi!

And here is the best thing about the album. The music is by Shankar Ehsaan Loy but the song Iktara is composed by Amit Trivedi ( Aamir and Dev D). And with just one song, Amit kills it! If you havent heard the song, click the play button. Sung by Kavita Seth and Amitabh Bhattacharya. The second video has the full song.

Full song

Whats Your Raashee ?Because he seriously needs to check his daily horoscope reports. If the teaser, music and promos of Whats Your Raashee is any indication of things to come, we are running far far away from it. The song Jao na (dont go) sounds “please please run away” to us! Just check out the song promo. Its the first song promo that have been released.

What the fuck is this ? Who would release such a bad first song promo of the film ? Is it the same Ashutosh Gowariker who shot Yeh jo desh hai tera (Swadees), O re chori (Lagaan) and Khwaja mere khwaja (Jodhoa Akbar)! Unfuckingbelievable!  This is horrible. And it seems, its shot on chroma. You can easily make that out. Mumbai roads….late night…why would you go for chroma!

First Harman Baweja, then the fuckall teaser, then this song promo and now the music of Whats Your Raashee…..nothing seems to be going right. The album has 13 songs. I heard it thrice, none of the song stays with you. Zero repeat value. The arrangement make it sound like we are going back to Nadeem-Shravan days! I would even vote it for Javed Akhtar’s worst work.  Sample this….pyaar pyaari nayi nayi nyaari nyaari….aisi hai baatein teri saari….dil maine khoya jaan vari….kyunki pyaari pyaari…tukbandi was never so dull!

Music is by debutant Sohail Sen. Am all for new talent but yes, talent is the key word! Or was i searching for Rahman in the album ? Naah, am not going back to it again!

……is on Airtel digital tv OR ……dil titli….dil titli sa….kabhi yaadon…kabhi sapnoo ka!

Like us, if you madly scan the newspapers every morning then you must have noticed the ongoing viral campaign in the front pages of some newspapers, where Saif Ali Khan is searching for a young girl. Has just a pic of hers. Since he doesnt have any new film soon, it had to be a brand endorsement. Yes, its Airtel digital tv. The first tv commercial of the campaign is out. Dil Titli…Check it out.

It also features his girlfriend Kareena Kapoor. Honestly we are getting lil bored of this Saifeena or Kaif or whatever you want to name them!

BTW, dil titli is the new jingle that we have in loop. Finally got something to replace Bajaj Allianz’s yeh kis pyaari hifaazat me befikri ki haalat hai! Dil Titli is written by well known lyricist Swanand Kirkire, sung by new singer Nikhil D’Souza and music is by Rupert. The concept by JWT Delhi.

A new pic from Vishal Bhardwaj’s film Kaminey has been released. Its of Amole Gupte. And with every new pic of Amole Gupte, we get a feeling that he is going to be the show stealer. Take a look. 

Amole Gupte

Amole Gupte is the same guy who wrote Taare Zameen Par and was suppose to direct it also. But was replaced by producer Aamir Khan as he decided to turn director all of a sudden.

The film stars Shahid Kapoor (in double role ) & Priyanka Chopra. Amole plays the role of Sunil Shekhar Bhope, Priyanka’s brother and is known as Bhope Bhau. A news bit what we recently heard, and are finding difficult to believe, is that that Kaminey is set in the backdrop of Bengali mafia in Mumbai. Marathi is the norm, but bengali ?We surely are excited.

BTW, whats your K-poison ? The music is out. We are playing Kaminey’s title track in loop. Its the song of the year….meri arzooo, ….kamini….mere khwab bhi, kaminey…….ek dil se dosti thi….yeh huzoor bhi kaminey!  What’s your track ?

For more on Kaminey, click here & here. And for lyrics of Dhen Tedaan click here.

….Ajj din chadheya. The rest of the album has big hangover of Jab We Met (all formula – ek club number, ek romantic, ek sad, ek  emotional ) and too much of punjabhi dhoom dhadaka! Makes it look like as if Punjabi is India’s national identity, culture, language, music, dance, food and everything else!

Twist & Aahun Aahun are peppy numbers for dance floors. That’s it. Ajj din chadheya‘s video is not out but to check out the complete song play the video link.

Lyrics – Irshad Kamil, Music – Pritam. Ajj din chadeya tere rang verga – original line by Shiv Kumar Batalvi.

And like us, if you care about the lyrics, do read on. Our favourite lines in bold.

Ajj din chadheya

tere rang varga

phool sa hai khila aaj din.

 

Rabba mere din yeh na dhale

voh jo mujhe khawab mein mile

usse tu laga de ab gale

tenu dil da vasta.

 

Rabba aaya dar de yaar ke

saara jahan chod chad ke

mere sapne sawar de

tenu dil da vasta.

 

Baksha gunahon ko

sun ke duwao ko

rabba pyaar hai tune

sabko hi de diya

meri bhi aahon ko

sun le duwao ko

mujhko woh dila

mene jisko hai dil diya.

 

Aas vo pyas vo

usko de itna bataa

Woh jo mujhe dekh ke hasse

pana chahun raat din jise

Rabba mere naam kar use

tenu dil da vasta.

 

Manga jo mera hai

jata kya tera hai

maine kaun si

tujhse jannat manga li

kaisa khuda hai tu

bas naam ka hai tu

rabba jo teri

itni si bhi na chali

chahiye jo mujhe

kar de tu mujhko ataa

jeeti rahi saltanat teri

jeeti rahe aashiqui meri

de de mujhe zindagi meri

tenu dil da vaasta.

 

Rabba mere din yeh na dhale

voh jo mujhe khawab mein mile

use tu laga de abb gale

tenu dil da vasta.

Rabba aaya dar de yaar de

saara jahan chod chad ke

mere sapne sawar de

tennu dil da vasta

 

Ajj din Chadheya

tere rang varga.

PritamAccused of plagiarism! And according to news reports, the music composer has hit the half century mark on plagiarism charts with this song. After West, the current trend is to look east for inspiration and Pritam does the same. The song in question is Hai Junoon from Kabir Khan’s New York. Its plagiarised from a song called Naluri Lelaki by an Indonesian band Samsons. Check out the two songs and see if you think the same.

There is an interesting twist in the tale too. It seems singer-composer Pankaj Awasthi revealed the same in the youtube link of the original song by posting a comment there as Awasthiji. But later on the comment was removed “by the author”. Itwofs.com has a screenshot of the page before it was removed. You can check it here.

Pankaj Awasthi is credited as music composer for one song in New York, Aye Saaye Mere. It surely was a brave step on Pankaj’s part to come out and put the comment but then why remove it ?! Was it because of Yashraj Films or Pritam ? We love and respect Pankaj Awasthi’s music, much more than Pritam’s or Yashraj’s, and hope that he gets a fair deal without being threatend for being honest and candid. 

We could not connect the two. The film New York and its peppy promotional video Hai Junoon. The film is set in New York post 9/11 and the video makes it look like rom-com-buddy-film kind. The film is directed by Kabir Khan, produced by Yashraj Films and stars John Abraham, Neil Nitin Mukesh and Katrina Kaif.

Here is the video of the song  Hai Junoon. Though we havent heard the original one, this one is remix version. Music is by Pritam, lyrics by Sandeep Shrivastava and the singer is KK. The music is out in the market now. Enjoy!
