Hindi Music Thread

Thanks for clearing that up Sai. It's quite confusing. Don't really listen to Tamil songs, but quite like the jist of that one.

Speakin of plagiarism, don't we all hate Pritam. itwofs.com - chronicles of plagiarism in indian film music

 

[SciD]

I still love Pritam songs

The guys says he copied stuff from unknown countries so that Indian will not find out. :laugh

 

[SaiSrini]

Some of Pritam's songs are really good (Nagada from JWM, Mauja Mauja from BAH, Twist from LAK) but his songs satisfy initially, but time goes by, they hit their extinction period quite rapidly. But what he does well is, he composes for so many films that by the time an album of his hits extinction, the next one is already out there.

But I would have Shankar Ehsaan Loy or Vishal Shekar anyday over Pritam. And these two dont hold a candle in front of Rahman

Lol, like Korea (Pehli Nazar Mein). :laugh

Sukshinder Shinda''s song >>> Paa's song.

+1. His songs in Collaboration 2 album are great also (esp Tu hi Tu and Yaariyan)

But that's like a super famous song. I was playing Pehli Nazar Mein in my car and my Korean friends recognized it immediately.

I have no respect for people who lie and cheat and put their name on work that isn't their own. Pritam is a scoundrel.

The much hyped 'My Name is Khan' is out on audio today (Amazon MP3). Just listened to one of the songs 'Sajda'. BRILLIANT one! 'Noor E Khuda' is also good. Karan Johar has a good ear for music and selects good songs for his films.

Who is the music director?

Who is the music director?

Shankar Ehsaan Loy

After hearing the whole album, I have really mixed feelings about it. The 'Shankar Ehsaan Loy' style of music is so prominently present that at times, it starts to get onto your nerves (even in London Dreams, it happened). Sajda and Noor E Khuda are the picks, but the rest are pretty average. Its just so boring to have SEL (Shankar Ehsaan Loy) always remind the listeners of their style of music in every song. The 'Khan theme' is the weakest, and I fear that if its going to be used as the background music for a major part of the film, the impact wont be as good for the film.

Average album. Weakest of Karan's directorials, which has always boasted of good music (KKHH, K3G, KANK).

Don't forget Kal Ho Na Ho, my favorite .

I like SEL. Usually have pretty good numbers and are probably second to Rahman in the business. And honest about their work too, unlike some people :sarcasm

Yeah, but Kal Ho Naa Ho was not a Karan directorial (it was Nikhil Advani).

SEL are really good (I love their work in TZP, KHNH, B&B, JBJ, etc) but they could really do well if they reduced their trademark music and display variety in their music.

Edit: Not bad, actually the music is growing on me after a few more listens. Quite unusual because most of the music that I love are first time attractions. Maybe the history of Karan Johar's music with SRK-Kajol (my fav pair!) influenced my opinion on the first listen.

Sajda is a great song

 

[SaiSrini]

So far, I like most of the songs from the film. "Noor E Khuda", "Sajda" and "Tere Naina" are my picks. Rang De and Allah Hi Rahem are good too.
