Aladin
Fantasy, frivolity and fun- that's what the film promises and the music tries hard to deliver. Sr. Bachchan (playing the genie!) shows off his singing through two fun-tracks a Hip Hop-styled Genie Rap (with Anushka Manchanda) and a Bhojpuri-styled O... |

Jail
A realistic hard-hitting film on the subject of 'Jail' doesn't offer much scope for music and the album proves that. Bhandarkar's latest film employs Sharib-Toshi and Shamir Tandon as composers to dish out passable situational fares. Sharib- Tosh... |

Tum Mile
Pritam
Hear some more pleasing modern romantic songs in this Pritam-soundtrack. Neeraj Shridhar's superb rendition of the rhythmic title song Tum Mile sets the tone perfectly. This song also comes in 'Love reprise' version by Javed Ali and 'Ro... |

Ajab Prem Ki Gajab Kahani
The fast, foot-tapping fun-tracks are to be expected in this album since the film happens to be a comedy but surprisingly the mellow romantic compositions hog the limelight here. Despite his mind-boggling workload, Pritam manages to create some quali... |

Blue
A. R. Rahman is back and back with a bang! In his first post- Oscar soundtrack, the modern maestro composes some sizzling tunes. Rahman's typically eclectic compositions traverse the entire world music gamut here. These catchy and crowd-pleasing son... |

All The Best
Going with the fun-film theme, Pritam creates an enjoyable soundtrack full of peppy energetic fusion-tracks. Suraj Jagan – Roopam Islam's opening number Dil Kare and KK – Yashita's romantic Haan Main Jitni Martaba are heavily rock mus... |

Main Aurr Mrs. Khanna
Fresh from their Wanted- success, composers Sajid- Wajid come back in yet another Salman Khan-starrer dishing out their typical brand of palatable but none-too-original tunes.
The soundtrack begins promisingly with Sonu Nigam and Shreya Ghoshal team... |

Wake Up Sid
Shankar- Ehsan- Loy come up with yet another patented and largely predictable soft rock- pop soundtrack centered around the theme of contemporary youth's quest for finding his own niche. Talented singers Shankar Mahhadeevan and Clinton Cerejo do giv... |

What\'s Your Rashee?
It is indeed tough when you are stepping into A.R. Rahman's shoes as a replacement, composing 13 multi-genre songs for 12 sun-signs, singing 9 songs yourself and asking the film's director and his sister to join you as singers! By that token, Sohai... |

Wanted
Dance and action. What else do you expect when Prabhu Deva and Salman Khan come together in a film? So going with the theme, Wanted- soundtrack is full of foot-tapping dance- tracks. The album kickstarts with Love Me Love Me Love Me (Wajid, Amrita Ka... |

Life Partner
Over the years, Govinda's comedies have developed their own brand of music, which is fast, frothy and forgettable and Life Partner-music is no different! Composer Pritam just goes through the motions to create some situational fun-tracks such as Kuk... |

Kaminey
Trust Vishal Bhardwaj to every time come up with something refreshingly different. Kaminey as a film was an enjoyable experience and its music doesn't disappoint either. Bhardwaj's tunes here present an enticing mix of North Indian folk music, 70s ... |

Luck
If Luck proved unlucky at the box-office, then a lot of that has to do with its rather mediocre soundtrack. Salim- Sulaiman dish out a staple of forgettable club-songs like Aazma Luck Aazma, Lagaa Le and Jee Le, all centered on the theme of trying yo... |

Love Aaj Kal
By his own admission, Pritam is not a terribly original composer. Time and again, he has been accused of/guilty of plagiarism but when it comes catchy sound-designing, he definitely stands amongst the best in contemporary Bollywood. His music in Love... |

Kambakht Ishq
After remaining on the sidelines for quite some time, composer Anu Malik makes a mini- comeback to Bollywood's big league with Kambakht Ishq. The film has received its fair share of brickbats for being a brainless 'entertainer' (!) and the soundtr... |

Jashn
After making a mark with Mahi in Raaz 2, the Sabri brothers – Sharib and Toshi compose their first full soundtrack in Bhatt-brothers' Jashn. It is an interesting album in typical Bhatts- tradition with songs of varied tones and textures. The ... |

Runway
Composer Shamir Tandon dishes out a rather palatable fare in this album. Pakistani rock- artiste Mustafa Zahid is impressive in the opening track – Khuda Ke Liye, a moody reflective ballad. KK's Teri Yaaden Dil Mein and Shaan – Sunidhi... |

New York
New York is not a typical Yashraj candy-floss musical but even within its terrorism-related story-line, music- director Pritam has managed to compose some really nice numbers that linger in mind long after the soundtrack is over.

Morning Walk
Music director Jeet Ganguli had so far done little of note after separating from his erstwhile music- partner Pritam. But in Morning Walk he comes into his own in style. The soundtrack is undoubtedly one of the best of the year but looking at this fi... |
