MY FAVORITE HINDI SONGS OF 2019

By

Amidst the sudden deluge of trashy and totally unnecessary remakes and recreations, there were some really good original songs this year. Though not extraordinary, this year was pretty good as far as the music is concerned.

While the dependable composers like Pritam and Sachin – Jigar continued churning quality stuff, this year also saw some fresh talent. The best among these were Composer duo Sachet Tandon and Parampara Thakur (Sachet – Parampara) and composer Vishal Mishra who belted out some really excellent songs.

Here is my list of my favorite 30 songs of 2019, in no particular order –

1. BEKHAYALI (KABIR SINGH)
Music – Sachet Tandon and Parampara Thakur
Lyrics – Irshad Kamil
Singer – Sachet Tandon

This was undoubtedly my favorite song this year with some brilliant singing by Sachet. The Arijit Singh version couldn’t match upto this one, to be honest.


2. LAILA (NOTEBOOK)
Music – Vishal Mishra
Lyrics – Abhendra Upadhyay, Vishal Mishra
Singer – Dhvani Bhanushali

T-Series is in safe hands, thanks to Dhvani Bhanushali. I simply love her range and voice quality.


3. KALANK TITLE TRACK (KALANK)
Music – Pritam
Lyrics – Amitabh Bhattacharya
Singer – Arijit Singh


4. KHAIRIYAT (CHHICHHORE)
Music – Pritam
Lyrics – Amitabh Bhattacharya
Singer – Arijit Singh


5. APNA TIME AAYEGA (GULLY BOY)
Music – Divine and Dub Sharma
Lyrics – Divine and Ankur Tewari
Singers – Ranveer Singh and Divine


6. TERI MITTI (KESARI)
Music – Arko
Lyrics – Manoj Muntashir
Singers – B Praak

7. ISHAQ CHALIYA (PAL PAL DIL KE PAAS)
Music - Sachet Tandon and Parampara Thakur
Lyrics – Siddharth and Garima
Singers - Sachet Tandon and Parampara Thakur

A pretty addictive song, in my opinion.


8. VALAM (MADE IN CHINA)
Music – Sachin and Jigar
Lyrics – Priya Saraiya
Singers – Arijit Singh, Priya Saraiya, Sachin – Jigar

After giving a chartbuster song of the same name in a Gujarati film, Sachin – Jigar come up with another tune titled Valam. I have high respect for them and Priya Saraiya for continuing their fabulous work in regional cinema along with Bollywood, and not forgetting their roots. Hats off!


9. HAWAA BANKE (YEH SAALI AASHIQUI)
Music – Hitesh Modak
Lyrics – Tanveer Ghazi
Singer – Armaan Malik


10. AASMAA (SAAND KI AANKH)
Music – Vishal Mishra
Lyrics – Raj Shekhar

11. INTEZAARI (ARTICLE 15)
Music – Anurag Saikia
Lyrics – Shakeel Azmi
Singer – Armaan Malik, Ayushmann Khurana


12. KAISE HUA (KABIR SINGH)
Music – Vishal Mishra
Lyrics – Manoj Muntashir
Singer – Vishal Mishra

Although this is an original composition, I think I heard the tune somewhere in the background score of Arjun Reddy.


13. VIJAYI BHAVA (MANIKARNIKA)
Music – Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy
Lyrics – Prasoon Joshi
Singer – Shankar Mahadevan


14. NAI LAGDA (NOTEBOOK)

Lyrics – Amitabh Bhattacharya
Singer – K.K


18. PAL PAL DIL KE PAAS TITLE TRACK
Music – Sachet Tandon and Parampara Thakur
Lyrics – Siddharth and Garima
Singer – Arijit Singh and Parampara Thakur

Here, the Arijit version was better than the scratchy Sachet version. Parampara Thakur has a gorgeous voice.


19. MANZAR HAI YEH NAYA (URI – THE SURGICAL STRIKE)

Lyrics – Abhiruchi Chand

MY TEN FAVORITE SHAHRUKH KHAN MOVIES

By
There are people who hate him. There are people who love him. And there are people who are crazy after him. My affection for him has always been variegating. While I have loved some of his performances, I don’t like certain avatars of him. One big problem I have had with Shahrukh khan’s acting is the times he hams on screen – you know when he is crying and gives that typical facial expression – which is totally a turn off. Whenever he has steered clear from doing that on screen, he has given some brilliant performances.   He is a fantastic actor, no doubt, and over the years, I have fallen in love with some of the characters he has played. Below is a list of my ten favorite Shahrukh films –   DISCLAIMER – Kuch kuch hota hai, Kabhi khushi kabhi gham, Devdas, Main hoon Na have not been included. Now you may read further. SWADES This is undoubtedly Shahrukh’s finest performance ever. With a wardrobe of only five to six simple smart shirts in the entire mov

MUSIC REVIEW : MTV UNPLUGGED (A.R RAHMAN)

By
Rahman begins the episode with “YE JO DES HAI TERA”. That was a smart move to ensure the audience get goosebumps right from the moment the shehnais start. the way ranjit barot changes the song (Deconstructs and reconstructs it, in Rahman’s words) is awesome. The “mitti ki hai jo khushboo” chorus is out of this world. Rahman’s rendition is near perfect. He sings the song with aplomb. The chorus before the second antara again gives you goosebumps. And Rahman escalates the song with his PERFECT tamil rendition. Although I didn’t understand a word of it, it is obvious that Rahman is much more at ease singing tamil lyrics compared to hindi ones. Overall, this was 5 minutes and 14 seconds of pure hair – raising stuff. Special credit to the shehnai players – Omkar dhumal, Raju dhumal, Sunil dhumal, Sanjeev shankar and Ashwani shankar. “REHNA TU” starts off with an addictive piano loop, the one which was heard even in the behind the scenes video released prior to the episode.
