Umrao Jaan
Sweet + lush classical court-style
music -if it doesn't hypnotise you, it might put you to
sleep.
|
 |
Dhoom 2
Testosterone-fuelled bollypop mark 2,
this time infused with arabic pop riffs.
|
 |
Don
The remakes disappoint: techno sounds designed to drag Don
into the present are uninspired. Buy it for the retro-electro
beats of Aaj ki Raat instead.
|
 |
Omkara
An evocative album, sometimes earthy, sometimes classical. Music to
transport you to the heartland of India.
|
 |
Rang de Basanti
Eclectic AR Rahman album. Guitar pop,
arabic accents and powerful bhangra title track.
|
 |
Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna
Kal Ho Na Ho: the musical sequel. But
Shafqat Amanat Ali delights on the Sufi-inspired Mitwa.
|
 |
Fanaa
Kashmir-inspired collection of tunes,
lovely title track.
|
 |
Bunty aur Bubli
Funky + energetic fusion from Shankar
Ehsaan + Loy. Features the best bolly song of 2005: Kajra Re.

Hum
Tum
Laid back bolly with a bit of Britasian
input on the title track. Buy it for the infectious Gore Gore..

Lucky
A melodious + slickly-produced bunch of
songs from the wonderful tunesmith Adnan Sami.

Kaal
Qawaali anthemic rock, with irony-free
cover of the 80s hit: Eye of the Tiger.

Masti
The fun soundtrack to the blokesy
film.

 |
Dhoom
Testosterone-fuelled bolly poprock
-spawning many sound-a-likes.
|
 |
Veer-Zaara
Lush arrangements from the long-dead
composer Madan Mohan. With fabulous extra cd of original source
material.
|
 |
Paheli
Rajasthani folk meets Hindustani
classical. Rhythmic and rather nice with one absolute cracker of a
track: Khaali hai Tere Bina.
|
 |
Meenaxi
Ethereal, enigmatic, brilliant. AR
Rahman shines here.

 |
Main Hoon Na
Pastichey tribute to one of Bollywood's
greatest, RD Burman. With one good qawaali thrown in for good
measure.
|
 |
Kal
Ho Naa Ho
Fresh bolly fusion that borders on
Hinglish pop, from Shankar Ehsaan + Loy. Fun reworking of Orbison's
Pretty Woman with bhangra licks.
|
 |
Swades
AR Rahman's latest: a slow burner that
sometimes echoes the folksy Lagaan. But, you'll get burned all the
same. Wah!
|
 |
Devdas
Classical-based music by Ismail Darbar.
Out of this world.
|
 |
Saathiya
Brilliant offering from AR Rahman -with
a southern flavour. Rahmantastic! Warning: highly
addictive!

Se

have to get this. Too fabulous to describe. AR Rahman.

Another from AR Rahman - excellent
melodies + funky bass.

Dil to Pagal Hai
Upbeat soundtrack of the smash hit
film.

Beautiful + rhythmic. AR
Rahman.

Zubeidaa
Another AR Rahman soundtrack with
singing from the queen of Bollywood, Lata Mangeshkar.

far east. Some beautiful lyrics.
|
 |
Dil Chahta Hai
Great east-west fusion from new guys: Shankar, Ehsaan + Loy. Future
contenders for Rahman's crown?!
|
 |
Mohabbatein
A classic soundtrack recognisably from the Yash Chopra stable. Lots
of big juicy dhol-driven songs. Compulsive.

Exuberant + youthful
-every song a winner, what more can I
say?
